ALIENS CAN ENTER COUNTRY
Federal Judge at Portland Decides
Important Case.

Portland, Ore.-''But there is no
regulation barring the entry of any
alien not having a passport from his
home government. If such q regula-
ton exists l am not aware of it,"
This statement was made by Judge
c. f. Wolverton of the United States
district court in deciding the case of
Capt. Maurice Helmet of the French
bark St. Louis, who was fined recently
by the United States commission on a
charge of violating the immigration law
prohibiting masters of vessels from
landing aliens and forbidding their adj
mission to this country.
The case grew out of the case of two
japanese sailors from the 81. Louis who
had signed at kooe, Japan, for the
round trip. Hemet's defense was that
the Japanese had no intention of com
ing to this country when they signed
for the trip. Capt. Hemet also asserted
that the order issued by Presiden.
Roosevelt last May, excluding Japan
ese and Koreans from this country was
in excess of his authority.
Judge Wolverton. upheld President
Roosevelt's order. The court, how.
ever, ruled that the japanese sailors
were not improperly in this country,
and discharged the defendant.

EMBALMED BEEF IN PANAMA
Miss Beeks Reports to National Civic
Federation.

New York.-The latest report of the
conditions on the Panama canal zone is
made by q woman-Miss Gertrude
Beeks, who spent twenty-three days
down there for the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON. Miss Beeks' findings start out
to laud the American for a hundred and
one Improvements and end with about
the same number of complaints.
Miss Beeks' investigation discovered
the fact that the government is gener-
ally regarded as having broken it's con-
tracts ''by discharging by the wholesale
American employees who had hired out
Tor definite periods"
Much of the food served is unfit to
eat, she says, the messes are almost in
tolerable, and the prices charged are
three times too great. A drug company
S sending adulterated medicines to the
sick, she says.
The investigator hints vaguely that
manufacturing concerns in the United
States are engineering somewhat of a
similar '~'embalmed beef" that created
such a scandal during the Spanish war.
She declares that rigid inspection of
every article of food sent to Panama
from the United States is imperative.
Most all of the illness among the en-
ployes there is admitted to have been
caused by un-nutritious or rotten veg
etabieS and meats.

PROHIBITION TURNED TRICK.
President Afraid to Oppose the Anti
Saloon Forces.

Washington.-The surprise that was
created by the announcement that Pres
ident Roosevelt has decided to approve
the Oklahoma State constitution van
ished today when the cause of the pres
ident's action became known. Under
the persuasive cudgel welded by the
anti-liquor element which gained a sig
nal victory in putting prohibition in
the Oklahoma constitution, the defects
of the new States charter become no
longer insurmountable and the docu-
ment is to be approved.
The process of converting the admin
~istration to a more favorable view of
the Oklahoma constitution was al easy
one. The anti-saloon people simply
served notice on the administration
that if prohibition is to be robbed of its
victory in the new State by the presi-
dents act of rejecting the constitution
there would be an accounting which
Mr.. Roosevelt's candidate for the presi-
dency, Secretary Taft, would have to
settle with the a%nti-saloon element of
tn country.
This possible source of annoyance to
Secretary Taft's candidacy was prompt
ly removed by the presidents announce
ment that the constitution will be APP
proved and Oklahoma admitted as I;
~full-tiedged prohibition State.

Missouri Federation Official Will In
vestigate 8-Hour Law Violations.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Chas. w. Fear,
representing the Missouri Federation
of Labor, in discussing the Teleg-
raphers' Eight-Hour bill and its en-
forcement in the state of Missouri
said: Our attention has been called
to the violation in many of the coun-
ties in the state Of Missouri of the
Telegraphers' Eight-Hour law, passed
at the last session of the legislature,
and the Sedalia convention of the Mis-
souri, Federation of Labor instructed
its legislative committee to make q
thorough investigation of violations of
the law in every county in the state.
After consultation with state officials,
the legislative committee has decided
to make an effort to have the law en-
forced by laying the matter of viola
tions before every county attorney,
and in counties where the county at
torney does not enforce the law, it
is our intention to begin proceedings
under the derelict official law to GUST
from office the county attorney who
does not do his duty"

Affect the Service.

Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.-Declar-

ute and that the rate would be 10c Il

LOSE BY 2-CT. FARE.
MANAGERS ARGUE THEY CAN
NOT PAY DIVIDENDS.
THE OFFICIALS FEAR REcEWERsHlPs
Enough to Preserve the
Balance.

st. Louis-As a result of the two
cent fare law, Missouri railroads have
lost ST. 500, 900 during the past three
months.
Every passenger train on the Wa
bash system has suffered a serious
decrease in revenue, according to Cen
eral Manager Miller.
The railroads intend to submit
statements showing the effect of the &c
fare law to Federal Judge Mcpherson
at Kansas City about Oct. Is.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
Wabash, Missouri Pacific, Burlington,
Chicago & Alton and other trunk
lines have joined to fight the further
enforcement of the law, which became
effective June II.
By agreement with Atty. Gen. Had
ley, the railroads decided to test the
law for 80 days.
Atty. Gen. Hadley says he under
stood the railroads would operate I'M
der the new law until Oct. /, but he
has heard no intimation of what
course they intended TO pursue after
hat date.
In the proceeding now pending be-
fore Judge Mcpherson the railroads
seek to restrain the state authorities
from enforcing the law on the ground
hat it is confiscatory.
At that time railroad officials stated
that the loss to the railroads under
the &c law would aggregate $4,000, 600
a year.
According to the figures compiled
by the railroad companies, based on
actual reports of earnings, the loss will
be at least $4,000, 600, or about 20 per
cent of the total revenue earned on
passenger traffic.
James Minis, assistant general So
licitor of the Wabash, said he thought
the railroads would not be ready Oct.
1 to make their showing before Judge
Mcpherson.
Nothing can or will be DONE" said
Mr.. MINIS, until We get the figures
on earnings from the traffic depart
ments. There is N thing we do
know. The railroads have lost ire
mendously under the &c law. Local
travel has increased some, but moth
ing compared to what was predicted
by the champions of this legislation"
An official of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railroad said:
mo railroad in this state can con-
tinue the payment of dividends if the
&c statute is allowed to remain.
Il venture the more serious asser-
ton that some Of them have to go
into the hands of receivers unless re-
lief is granted by the courts.
Under the new law the branch lines
must be under 40 miles in length,
which excludes the ST. Louis & Han
nibal, Ill miles long.
