NO DETENTION OF
JAPANESE HERE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Frank P.
Sargent, Commissioner General of I'm
migration. said today that there had
been no detention of the Japanese
passengers on the steamship Alameda
at San Francisco in the ordinary mean
ing OF that word, but that the landing
of the Japanese was merely delayed
until the circumstances of their COM
ing to this country could be investi-
gated He had ordered that they be
permitted to land upon receipt of re-
port from immigration Commissioner
North that they were entitled to ad-
mission. There was no friction be-
tween Sargent and Secretary Straus
The movements of these Japanese
will be further observed by agents of
the immigration service with the pur-
pose of determining whether the Jap
snese in question have come to San
Francisco in violation of the alien con-
tract labor law.
It is believed in official circles here
that contract laborers are brought into
this country from Japan through Ha-
waii. A violation of law is technically
avoided by the landing of these immi-
grants at Honolulu, although they may
at once be transshipped to the main-
land. It is understood that the Jap
anese Government, is really opposed to
issuing to its subjects passports for
the United States proper. although it
did not object to their settling in Ha-
WALL.
1t is believed by the officials here
that if it were shown to Japan that
these landings of japanese coolies in
Honolulu were only tricks to permit
them to proceed unquestioned to the
Pacific Coast the Japanese Government
would then take measures to prevent a
continuation of the immigration of its
subjects to the United States.
1t is probable that Commissioners
General Sargent may soon recommend
to Secretary Straus of the Department
of Commerce and Labor that he confer
with Secretary Root on this subject
with a view of bringing to the atten-
ton of the Japanese Government
through diplomatic channels the ques-
ton of the immigration of Japanese
subjects in violation of the contract
labor law of this country.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24--The House
today voted to abolish all the pension
agencies throughout the country, eight
cen in number, and centralize the pay
ment of pensions in the City of Wash

pension agencies in their States

offered by Dalzell of Pennsylvania, re-
storing the number of agencies to
eighteen as at present, was defeated
and then an amendment offered by
Gardiner of Michigan, consolidating all
the agencies in one, was adopted with
out division.
The pension appropriation bill, car
rying sl3S, 100000, was passed.
