JAPANESE SNEAK
ACROSS BORDER
IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP BROWN
MEN OUT
BY Entering British Columbia or Mex
leo Little Difficulty Is Found In
Reaching the United
States
BY Associated Press.

by RSSOClateu iIesSs
WASHINGTON, April 1S-Undor
the regulation governing the entrance
INTO this country of Japanese lahorers
there is no way of preventing the
Japanese from Honolulu transshippins
at San Francisco for British Columbia
1t is evident from inquiries that have
been made by officials of this govcrn-
ment that the japanese, to whom the
Japanese government issues passports
to Mexico or to the Hawaiian islands.
have no intention of remaining there.
Their destination, as the lahorers
themselves have admitted on cross eN-
animation. is the United states. Re-
Gently several hundred japanese labor
ers were interrogated in Mexico as TO
their intentions. Every one OF them
said he expected sooner or later 20
reach this country. Some of them
were in serious financial straits.
They, were awaiting the opportunity
to get across the border into this
country. The same is true of Japanese
who are going to British Columbia.
they expect to get into the United
States as soon as possible.
Regulations Differ
The regulations governing the ex-
clusion of Chinese laborers do not ap-
ply to the Japanese laborers. When
Chinese laborers ship in transit
through the United States to another
country a photograph is taken of each
individual and the railroad or steam
ship carrying him is required to give
the government bond to prevent his
escape.
It is different with the japanese No
photographs are taken and no bonds
are exacted from the transportation
company. If Japanese laborer es-
capes from the train or steamship
while in transit the government has
no recourse.
That many of them do take ad-
vantage of the opportunity afforded
them to get into this country is known
officially, but there is no way under
the regulations to prevent them from
embracing the opportunity.
Commissioner Sargent of the bureau
Of immibration declines to discuss the
subject, but it is known that Secre-
tary Straus of the department of COM
merce and labor is keeping in close
touch with the situation. He, too, is
reticent.
Trouble is being experienced in
handling the question, however, par
ticularly in relation to the Japanese
immigrants who are arriving in Mex
leo. 1t is practically impossible to pre-
vent them from being smugged across
the border and the government has no
means of Identifying them after they
reach this country. The question is
likely to become more serious in the
near future.

NEW YORK, April ia letter
written by Howard Nesbit, brother of
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, to Harry Thaw,

some of Thaw's counsel. In it the
young man wrote that when White was

me was so precious"
When District Attorney Jerome took
his statement Howard Nesbit wrote.

or at least was supposed to have told
me. l Will put 1t more strongly and
say she never told me anything against
you that would tend to hurt you in any
way. l lied, thinking it would help

AS to his subsequent attitude toward
his sister and Thaw he wrote:
After Florence told her story on the
stand ] believe l was With her from
that time on, heart and soul. 1 never
intended to say one word against her

He declared that he wrote to Evelyn

That there are many persons IN
Washington who share the belief Of the
young lady who says she has seen
Christy's ideal in Washington, WAS
borne out this morning by several let
tiers received by the Christy Editor.
The writer's said they had seen two
or three girls whose eyes. head. mouth.

beautiful.
Each writer felt sure the Christy girl
could be found in Washington, and that
little trouble would be experienced in
getting photographs OF two or three
who could hardly be told from the art

Not Like Beauty Contest.

Some comparison has been drawn be-
tween the Christy Girl contest and the
beauty contest OF the world, In which
Washington was well and favorably rep
resented. II they are to be compared,
the Christy contest is by far the more
trying of the two. because of the fact
that the girls must be of a certain speci-
fed type of beauty. In the beauty con-
test there was no restriction as to the
style Of loveliness. Many beautiful
women have attractive points which
are not shown in the Christy girls face.
and there are innumerable points OF
attractiveness about the face Of the
Christy girl possessed by few beauties.
The Christy girl is a striking girl once
seen. never forgotten. Style. repose,
languor soulful eyes. slim, and gradu-
aIIv sloping features are the chief char
acteristics of this wonderful girl.
Photographs are desired at the earliest
moment in order that they may be
given full and careful consideration and
reproduced in such fashion as to do
full Justice to the girl who posed for
the likeness.

feet apart the lock missing, thrown
aside perhaps at time OF breaking.

A FEARFUL CRIME

Word comes from GolWlield mat
the authorities have diaCUN cred two
white girls held in slavery by Two
men and compelled to lead an IN
voluntary life OF shame. The proceeds
of this nafarious transaction were
appropriated by the men who en-
shaved the girls. These men are now
under arrest and the hOrrifying de-
tails of the story has excited the
citizens of Goldheld SO that lynching
is talked OF.
1t would seem that no ordinary
punishment would be sufficient to &c
Justice to case like that and j
seems impossible to meet the case
with anything less.
This is the first time in the history
of the state that such a crime has
been unearthed. The ordinary law:
seems utterly inadequate to meet th'
case.

THE STOCK OUTLOOK

GOLDFIELD, May 24-Conserya-

class who do not expect to reap an
independent fortune every twenty-four
hours-are not losing any sleep over
the stagnant condition of the stock
market. On the contrary, they are
optimistic as to the ultimate outcome
of the present depressed conditions.
With the ore in sight that we now
have, together with the big strikes of
the past few days, all the knocking
that can be indulged in cannot keep
this camp down." This is their slogan.
and it is a good, sensible one
Said one prominent broker, with
San Francisco connections, who was
seen yesterday: Il am not worrying
myself about the condition OF the mar
ket Stocks will go up and they will
go down. The trouble here as the
present time is that we are not get
ting sufficient buying orders from the
outside. The Goldfield market is a
big one and there is not money
enough here to keep it up. We all
know that we must have outside
orders to keep the market where it
ought to be kept.
1T is 4 we'll known fact that con
ditions in San Francisco have contrib

stock is daily being purchased by
eastern investors and the stock being
purchased is high priced.

it's Story. 1t is natural to suppose
the Southern Pacific people would
take quick advantage of the Oppor-
tunity offered and get things shaped
just as early as possible that the
mineral lands held by them might
be developed. The territory would
need no advertising. Just the mo

there would be preparation made to
explore the hills and ranges through
out its extent. There are even num-
bered sections to be sure, but the
ordinary prospector has neither know
ledge nor means to ascertain the
boundaries. For years it has been
considered almost forbidden ground
and the condition has held hundreds
of men from entering the belt. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped the stockhold-
ers of the Southern Pacific company
will see the natural advantage that
would surely result and take imme-
date steps to place the grant at the
disposal of the prospector and miner.

THE STATE WATER
Neglect Of the Legislature to Make

There Is still trouble with the

there is plenty of water running into
