NEW IMMIGRATION Law.
Head Tax viii Be Doubled and Steam
ship Companies subject to Fine
For Diseased Persons.

washington, June 1.-The new I'm
migration laws placing numerous re-
strictions upon the incoming of unde'
sirable foreigners, will go into effect
Monday. The most important change
brought about by these acts which
congress passed in February Is the In,
crease of the head tax from W to -
with the provision that all over W.
100000 of the revenue so derived will
revert to the United States treasury
instead Of being entirely devoted to
the uses Of the immigration bureau
In so much as the immigration for
the past two years has been over q
million annually, the income to the
government from this source will be
considerable.
Another change makes the steam
ship companies subject to a fine Of
500 for transporting physically OF
mentally defective immigrants, OF
those afflicted with loathsome or con
tagious diseases.

markand--a social revolutionist who
embezzled $4S0,00O. The headquarters
Of the terrorists, as usual, are located

Chicago, June 27.-Judge lands. In

After the denial Of the motion ask
ling 8 new trial, Attorney John 3.
Miller, for the oil company entered a
motion in arrest Of judgment. This
was promptly overruled.
Mr.. Miller then asked the court to
elect a particular count in the indict-
ment on which to base the final judge
ment Of the court. This was also de-
7Ied by Judge Lands.
Judge Lands ordered subpoenas 10
sued for officers Of Standard OIL and
Union Tank Line companies. Y
The court order concludes:
Make the subpoenas returnable
In this court July 6. This is done
on the theory that If the court i'm
poses a fine in the disposition OF
the case 1t will be punishment. The
persons who will really bear the bur
den Of this punishment are the own
ers of the property.
Congress imposes upon this court
the exercise of discretion in carrying
out the jury's verdict and It is proper
that the court has information re-
garding financial affairs Of the de-
fendant company before taking action.
| I want this information and intend
tc have it,
Prior to the issuance CT the order
the attorneys for the Standard OIL
company declined to furnish the infor-

declaring his demand extra-judicial
and not pertinent.
