The late revision of the head tax
ruling by the the Immigration
Bureau is very welcome to all for
eigners who have lived in Mexico
over a year. Under the former
operation of this law, all foreigners
coming into this country, from
Mexico or anywhere else, were
compelled to pay the head tax of
81. Even though residing in this
country, any alien who might go
into Mexico from here, whether on
business or pleasure, was taxed 81
admission if he wished to return
TO this country. Under the new
ruling, however, this matter as
concerning Mexico has been chang
ed, so that any foreigner who has
been bona fde resident of Mex
leo for year or more is not sub
Iect to the head tax on coming
into the United States.

IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS.

IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS.
Don't expect your local paper to
do your official fighting for you
IF there is cause for complaint
against officials or other persons
for your individual grievances,
why not go the officials yourself,
instead of asking the paper to
Iambast them publicly? Every
paper has enough of its own bat
ties to fight, without taking up
those of everybody who has some
cause for personal complaint. 1t
IS not at all uncommon for people
to ask their local paper to publish
complaints of this kind, when per
maps by a few words with the of
tending official or head of the
offending officials department, the
trouble might be amicably adjust
ed. It is hardly fair to expect the
paper to forfeit the goodwill of a
patron, and perhaps of number
of that patrons relatives and
friends, by publishing articles
criticising the conduct of that pa
tron because some individual has
cause for complaint against the
said patron. If by doing so, the
paper loses half a dozen or so of
subscribers, the offended individual
in whose cause it may have sacri-
feed such patronage would be very
unlikely to recompense the pub
fisher for his loss.

ington prohibition bill. passed by the
Georgia Senate some days ago. was
adopted by the House by vote of
1873 to 80 Two amendments added
by the House will necessitate the bill
going back to the Senate for concur
renee. of which there is no doubt, and
the bill then will go to Governor
Hoke Smith for his signature, which
has been practically pledged. and pro-
hibition will become a law in Georgia.
The amendments permit the sale
of pure alcohol by retail druggists on
the prescription of reputable ply
fsician and also allow wholesale drug
gists to carry pure alcohol in stock
for sale to retailers only
The bill prohibits the manufacture
or keeping ON hand in any place of
business, the sale or giving away to
induce business within the State of
any liquor that may produce intoxi-
cation. The new law is to become eff
fective on January /. 1908.
After the first fight on the bill in
which the opponents of the bill
showed their ability to keep the act
from its third reading, an agreement
was reached, making the bill a spe-
cial order
Twenty-one amendments were Of

CHINAMEN BATTLE IN BOSTON
New York CelestiaIs Kill Three
and Injure Seven.
Hubs Chinatown Invaded by Band.
Who Open Fire on Fifty Men
Longing III Blind Alley.

Boston, Mass.--A gang of New
York Cinnamon belonging to the no.
torious Hip Sing Tong invaded Bos-
toms Chinatown with revolvers and
opened fire upon more than fifty of
their fellow countrymen who were
seated in an alleyway off Harrison
avenue.
Three Cinnamon were killed in
stantly, three more were left dying
and four were very seriously injured
by the bullets of their rivals.
The usual quiet pervaded the vi
entity of Harrison avenue just before
s O'Clock p. M, Cinnamon lounging
here and there smoking and talking.
In the midst of this peaceful reverie
a volley of bullets fell upon them.
They rushed for their dens, falling
over one another in their haste to get
out of range.
The Hip Sing Tong men chased
their rivals into their homes and shot
them.
Having done as much murder as
they dared, the invaders turned about
and sought refuge in fight.
The dead are Chin Mon Quin, aged
forty-five, IL Oxford street; Chin
Leet, aged thirty-two, laundry pro-
prietor; Wing Sing jung, aged fifty,
"a Harrison avenue.
The injured men are Coon Coon.
Lee Kai, Coon Gouy, Shang Gu, Leo
Kwai, Con Jong Con, all of whom
are seriously wounded and some of
whom are sure to die.
Ten Cinnamon were put under ar
rest soon after the shooting. One of
these gave the name of MIN Sing, of
New York Another who was caught
while running from the Chinatown
district to the South Station said his
name was Hong Woon, also of New
York Eight other men who are
strangers to the Boston Chinatown
police were taken into custody on
suspicion of being connected with the
affair.
The trouble is attributed by some
to the shooting which occurred in
Philadelphia recently for which it is
said Boston Chinese were partly
blamed. 1t is thought the Cinnamon
who did the shooting came from New
York to punish the On Leong longs
for the Philadelphia outbreak.

ALABAMA REVOKES
SOUTHERN'S LICENSE
Removal of a Case From a State
10 a Federal Court the Excuse.
ALL TRAINS STILL RUNNING
No Clash With United States Court
Nor Evidence OF Amy Disturb
ance-Legislature May Provide
For Receivership.

Montgomery, Ala.-Announcement
was made by Secretary of State
Frank N Julian that he had revoked
the franchise of the Southern Rail
way Company because it had removed
a case from the State Circuit Court
of Talladega County to the United
States Circuit Court in Birmingham.
This action of the Southern is al
legged to be in violation of the two
outlaw acts passed by the Legislat-
ure last winter, each Of which provid-
ed that such removal should be pun
ishable by revocation of the charter
of the offending railroad. One OF
these laws, the better known, was de-
clared unconstitutional by United
States Judge Thomas G. Jones, but
the other never has been enjoined by
the Federal courts.
For this reason the action of the
State official was taken under the
provisions of the second of these out
law acts. The State insists that this
second outlaw act still is in force.
and it is entirely proper to act under
its provisions, while the adherents
of the railway contend the act of re-
vocation is in contempt of the Fed
eral Court injunction, at least in
spirit. Neither side would make an
authoritative statement of the prob
able course to be pursued in the con-
troversy.
The case upon which the revoca-
ton was made out came from the
Circuit Court of Talledega County, in
the shape of a notification from Clerk
j. D. Mcneil that suit had been re-
moved from the State Court to the
Federal Court. Secretary of State
Julian looked into the law and found
that there was nothing else to dc
save to mark the license Cancelled, as
the action of the statute is automatic.
Act No. Sc provides that when any
foreign corporation is sued in the
State courts and removes such suit
from the State to the Federal Court,
the clerk of the court from which the
removal was taken at once shall GER
tify such action to the Secretary OF
State, who shall thereupon imme-
diately cancel said license and make
and enter upon the stub thereof an
order in substance"
An extra session of the Legislature
will be held in the fall to adopt more
stringent railroad regulation laws to
meet the situation created by the va
rious rate regulation laws being en-
Joined in the Federal courts.
It is not unlikely that the Federal
court may get into the row even il
contempt proceedings are not
brought. 1t may hold that the act is
in spirit &, re-enactment of the revo-
cation bill that Judge Thomas G.
Jones has declared to be Illegal
The effect would be to deprive the
Southern Railway of the right of do
ing business in the State, thing that
was contemplated if the other revo-
cation act had been allowed to stand.
The Southern Railway owns more
than 1900 miles of road in Alabama
and millions of dollars worth of prop
erty.
