SARGENT RULING
UNPRECEDENTED
Many japanese He Ordered
Landed Are Known to
Be Contract Laborers
NORTH FILES REPORT

United States Immigrant Commits
sioner North wired an elaborate report
yesterday to Commissioner General
Sargent regarding the 434 Japanese Ia
borers who arrived on the steamer
Korea from Honolulu.
It disclosed, among other things, that
a number of the immigrants had gone
to Hawaii originally as a result Of
the work of the immigration societies
in Japan inducing their immigration.
When evidence is obtained to the ef-
feet that kuch is the case the immi-
grants are not allowed to land, says
North.
North's report shows that of the
Japanese on board the ship 1e0 had
left Japan as late as December, and
3e6 of them had departed from that
country for Hawaii during 1906. The
Commissioner had a careful examina-
ton made of seventeen whose cases he
throuRht should be looked into, and
thirteen of them were found to be con-
tract laborers One hundred and sixty
two of the Japanese said they were
going to work for railroad, but were
unable to say what road.
The recent arrivals, the report states,
are such as have been guaranteed
work in Hawaii from one to three
wears by the immigration societies in
japan. On their arrival at Honolulu
they are met by labor agents from the
mainland, who offer them higher
wages than they were promised. and
they come to San Francisco.
The admission in the report that
thirteen out of seventeen of the Japa-
nese were found to be contract labor
ers, coupled with the fact that despite
the report the thirteen were landed
here by order of Commissioner General
Sargent, is inexplicable. North refuses
to explain ii and refers his questioners
to Washington for solution of the
mystery. The fact that Sargent or
dered the thirteen landed after having
been advised that they We're contract
laborers is unprecedented in the his
tory of the immigration service.

MARY ANN MOUNTS
WRONG VEHICLE
Court Thinks She Should
Have Ridden a Water
Wagon Instead of Bicycle
HER FALL is HEAVY

''This was one time I wasn't drunk, =
pleaded Mary Ann Hamilton. in Judge
Shortalrs court yesterday morning.
Mary Ann. who is portly of figure
and florid of countenance. appeared
with a fetching little bicycle cap
perched on one side of her head and
affixed to her abundant but somewhat
disarranged locks with a huge stick
pin. Her makeup was not altogether
guileless and the bicycle cap turned
out TO be the exhibit on which she re-
lied most in her defense.
Patrolman Jiminez told the court
how he had extracted Mary Ann from
the gutter on Mission street and how
her language had been most shocking
while she rode to the station in the
patrol wagon
This is one time he is wrong" in
sisted the prisoner, laying stress on the
singularity of the event.
"You see. 1t was just this way, Your
Honor" Mary Ann demurred. You
know I haven't been feeling very well
for some weeks and some of me friends
advised me to try bicycle riding for me
health, Judge" Readjusting exhibit
A with another jab of the mammoth
stick pin, she continued:
II started out from Twenty-hrst
street on me wheel; like this, Judge -
clutching an imaginary pair of handle
bars-'but the thing slipped in the
mud, and there was I with me new
dress spoiled and feeling awful bad
indeed 1 was, Judge-and 1 just took
two drinks-'deed I did, I was feeling
that bad about me new dress. But this
was one time 1 wasn't drunk, Judge
How long have you been riding a
bicycle, Mary Ann?" queried his Honor
Sure 1 learned to ride wheel eight
cen years ago in Philadelphia"
II didn't know that ladies rode BIZ
cyles in 1885," responded the Judge
who evidently feared Mary Ann was
guilty Of an anachronism.
Sure and they did, Judge. Didn't
ride me wheel every morning in Fair
mount Park?"
We'll, I don't want to doubt your
word, Mary Ann, but you might tell us
who your friends were who loaned you
the wheel yesterday"
Sure they are most reputable par
ties, Judge. and 1 wouldn't be wishing
to mention their names, Judge"
Then L will have to find you guilty"
Thanks. Judge" nonchalantly re-
sponded she of the bicycle cap, turning
toward the door with the policeman.
And, by the way, when your friends
prescribe bicycles next time. tell them
the water wagon would be safer ve-
hicle for your Thirty days"
''So-long, Judge
"Good-by, Mary Ann

SUITS RESULTING FROM
WIREMEN'S STRIKE ARGUED
Two Actions Ringing on Troubles of
Electrical UnfOn Find Their
Way Into the Courts

The troubles that have been brewing
as a result Of the strike OF inside
electrical wiremen. which was called
without the sanction of the Building
Trades Council. reached the courts yes
terday. The order citing the council
10 show cause VIII IL should not be
enjoined from carrying out its suspen-
sion Of Electrical Workers Union Local
No. 6. and why the order OF suspension
should not be annulled, was argued
before Judge Seawell as was also the
motion TO dissolve the restraining or
der secured by P. A. Clifford and Ben
jamin Altman to prevent the officers
of the union from disposing OF $4,000
now in the treasury of the organiza-
tion.
George Appel appeared as counsel
for the plaintiffs in the latter suit, and
also for the Bulldog Trades Council,
while Albert Johnson appeared as at
torney for the union. An affidavit
waa filed in the suit of the union
against the council by Secretary o. A
Tveitmoe of the Building Trades
Council. IN which the strike ordered by
the electrical workers was declared IL
legal, as being in opposition to the by
laws of the council Johnson claimed
the suspension of the union was not
in accordance with the rules of the
council, as no chance had been given
the union for a hearing. and asked for
time in which to prepare counter-afi-
davits in answer to that filed by Tveit-
moe. The case was continued until
Tuesday for this purpose.

TELLS OF MYSTERY
IN WOMAN 5 SUIT
Attorney Sharp Says There
Is Strange Phase in the
Action to Recover Wages
CARED FOR HIS WARD

Behind a suit just fled in Justice
Golden's court by George D. Shad-
bourne, attorney for Mrs. Bridget Dona-
hue. against Attorney William B. Sharp,
as the guardian OF Ellen Crowley, an
incompetent, to recover $3.50 alleged to
be due her for taking care of Miss
Crowley. is story Of extended Itiga-
ton which promises to reach a climax
within a few days.
1t is alleged that Sharp was appoint
ed guardian of the invalid on Febru-
ary 16, 1893, and took charge of her
property, which was valued at about
$500. Those who are acting on be-
half Of Mrs. Donahue say they will
insist upon an accounting, declaring
that their client was employed TO care
for the aged woman and was to receive
$40 week for her keep. Mrs. Dona-
hue alleges that seven months pay
is due her, and that she should not be
compelled to sue the guardian, as he
should have ample funds with which
to meet her claims.
Attorney Shadbourne declined last
night TO discuss his future plans in the
case.
The matter has been in the courts
before, according to Charles Shurtliff,
attorney for the American Surety Com
pany, which is on the defendants bond
for $4,000. He stated yesterday that
while his company was interested in
the suit now pending, it had no part
in the proceedings. Some time before
the earthquake. he said. an account
ing of the estate had been asked for,
but he had not learned what had
been done in the matter, presuming
that the proceeding had been dropped
temporarily on account of the disaster.
Much care has been taken by the
principals in the suit TO guard the de-
tails Of the case from publicity. When
Sharp was asked regarding the suit
he replied that he believed there was
something mysterious behind the ac-
tion against him.
Sharp said that he could not at pres
ent discuss this mysterious some
thing" and that he merely anticipated
further unpleasantness. and while he
had an idea who was behind the suit,
he was not sure as to the person S
identity. He admitted that some money
was due Mrs. Donahue, but said the
only reason ii had not been paid was
that he had been hard up" since the
earthquake. He declared that he could
and would pay il in time.
Sharp is Well-known young attor-
ney, Of a prominent family. He lives
at 1877 Grove street. It is expected that
the case will be called in court In a
few days as the summons has already
been served

WOMEN WAGE SUIT
OVER OLD TABLE

The desire to possess an antique ma
hogany table has LED Mrs. Frank Pow
ers and Mrs. Elizabeth Green into a
lawsuit before Barney Flood. Justice
of the Peace. The women would have
liked to have the Supreme Court pass
on the question of ownership, but Mrs.
Powers husband, who is a lawyer and
who drew the complaint, instructed
her that the value of the article in
controversy came under the limit
which any other than Justices court
would consider, and Justice Flood was
thereupon called upon to emulate the
wisdom of Solomon and decide to
which of the women the ancient ma
hogany should be given.
Mrs. Powers claimed that she pur-
chased the table from Mrs. Green, and
her husband was getting the better
Of the argument when Mrs. Green set
up the defense that the purchase was
conditional on her being able TO secure
another mahogany table at an auction
sale of antiques. This apparently set
tied the matter; but the end was not
jet. Attorney Powers, after consul
tation with his wife and client. came
back with the rebuttal that IL was due
to Mrs. Green's own negligence that
she had not secured the other table.
She had slept on her rights, as it were,
while some more wide awake bidder
had walked off with the table This,
too, apparently settled the matter, but
Mrs. Green surrebutted to the effect
that she had used due diligence to bid
in the other table. anC Justice Flood
said that ii would be necessary for him
TO take the case under advisement.
Mrs. Green is the wife of President
Green of the Pacific Coast Casualty
Company.
