NO MORE JAPs
FROM HONOLULU

VANCOUVER, (B. c., September %.
DR.. Munro, Chief Dominion Govern
ment immigration Inspector in Van
couver, announced today that the Gov
eminent had instructed him to allow
no more japanese to land in Van
couver unless they had passports made
out directly to Canada.
This is designed to cut off all immi-
grafton of japanese by way of Homo
lulu. The announcement was made to-
day in order that steamship companies
engaged in bringing japanese from
Hawaii should have ample warning
that they would not be allowed TO land
at Vancouver.
Today the Dominion Government
decided that the immigration question
was of sufficient Importance to send
special envoy to Toxic to treat with
the Government and reach final
agreement NO official of the immigra-
ton department will be sent. but prob

will also be instructed to make a full
report on Hindoo and Chinese immi-
grafton as well. So many conflicting
reports have come that it has been
impossible to do business by cable
with the Government at Toxic. The
Government had similar experience
with Delegate Ishii.

UNDER ARREST

Harry T Mills, the past-due coilec-
tor, viii appear in the police court to-
day in new role. He has figured
very frequently of late before the Dis
trict Magistrate, but invariably as a
complainant or back of garnishee or
suing proceedings. Today he will grace
the prisoners box and be called upon
to defend himself on charge of as
.ault and battery. His alleged victim
is Otto Berndt, the collector-gau of
the local Internal Revenue Office, who
swore out the complaint against Mills.
1t IS only a short time ago that Mills
had occasion himself to swear out such
a complaint, his loud stationery hav-
ing got him in trouble with Engineer
Laker, of the cabieship Restorer, the
sailor putting head on the collector
that lasted him for some days. Just
what trouble Mills had with Berndt
will all be explained in detail to Judge
Andrade this morning.

the schoolhouses would be overwhelmed.
1t means that the greater the number of
pupils in the public schools tho worse 1T
will be for the State 1t means that every
device OF the school trustees and the
teachers to increase the attendance at
school is in the nature OF raid on the
treasury and contrary to public policy.
1t means that the state would not induce
all the children to attend school If it
could. That is the logic of the argument.

argument against compulsory school at

Any one that knows mo knows, of

and unkind statement as that the
Legislature of Virginia could be bought.
There are too many Christian gentle
men In the Legislature, q number of
whom are my personal friends, for me
to make such a statement.
Personally I have no doubt that the
liquor traffic would like to buy up the

Mrs. Stonewall Jackson to tho offer of
tho North Carolina Legislature to give
her a pension OF 500 month for life.

II most heartily appreciate this loyal
tribute to the name OF my husband, and
tender my heartfelt thanks for the pro-
ferred honor and benefit, but do not
feel that I would be justified In accept
Ing 1t. ! am Informed that the law In
North Carolina limits all pensions to
those who have not $500 of personal
property. and as I do not come under
this law respectfully request that the
bill be withdrawn. ! would also suggest
that the pension which has been so
magnanimously proposed in my behalf
be appropriated to the relief OF tho des-
titute widows OF Confederate veterans.
1t would also please mo far more to see
our honorable Legislature take measures
for reformatory for the good Of the
