MORE THAN 5000 HAVE ARRIVED
SINCE JANUARY i.
WENT VI FROM HONOLULU
orientals Observed Agreement and
Only Number Agreed Upon by can-
ada and Japan Arrived from Japan,
Remainder Coming From Hawaii.
(By Associated Press.)

Ottawa, Oct. 14.-The secretary of
state has received a telegram from
DR.. Monroe, immigration agent at
Vancouver, stating that the number
of japanese having arrived at Van
couver with passports since January
1 is 5000. NJ
About three-fourths of these came
from Honolulu, and were destined for
the United States. The remainder
had passports direct from Japan to
Canada.
Those who came direct from Japan
holding passports did not exceed the
number arranged for between the Ca.
madam government and Japan. II
would therefore seem that Japan is
carrying out the old arrangement,
and the Honolulu shipments have
been the real source of the invasion
of the provincial government.

OTHER ENDORSE
Assert That State Regulation with its
Varied Laws is Harmful 70 Rail-
roads and Officials Would Rather
Have National Control and Regula-
tion--No Lobby Intended.

(By Associated Press i

Chicago, Oct. 14.-That railroad ex-
ecutives generally approve Of the plan
for government control and regula-
tion of the transportation lines Of the
nation as advocated by Robert Mat
her, president of the Rock Island rail-
road company, in his speech to the
Chicago Chamber of Commerce was
strongly indicated today when yar-#
ious Chicago railroad officials went on
record to that effect.
Mr.. Mathews address was called
admirable in every way and none Of
the railroad officials interviewed dis
agreed with him as to the disira-
bility of centralized authority in pre-
ference to what they called inconsis-
tant laws passed by state legisla-
lures" 1t was granted to that Mr..
Mathews has done well to talk openly
Of rebating.
After mplimenting him on his
speech, E. p. Riply, president of the
Santa Re, said he thought the princi-
pal point urged by the Rock Island
official was we'll taken. What the
railroads are opposed to s'he said, is
this varied assortment Of regulation
and laws in which it is proved that
several states do not agree. This
leads to trouble.
r.. M. FELTON,, president Of the Alton,
said Mr.. Mathews presentation Of the
case was admirable.
do you think that all railroad ex
ecutives agree with Mr.. Mathews that
federal control is desirable n he was
asked. 5@
'T sincerely do said Mr.. FELTON,.
Il believe that Mr.. Mathews opin-
ions are very largely shared
'eWill the railroads agree upon q
congressional program?" he was ask
ed.
eT have not heard that any such
movement is contemplated, and
would hazzard the statement that the
roads will do nothing of the sort, but
will merely continue to try to do busi-
ness as best they can. !"
