Leaving Out the Gin Miller
From the Providence Journal

The Journals voters directory again this
year reveals the interesting fact that neither
the Republican the Democratic party has
nominated for either branch of the city
council a man who makes his living from the
liquor business. Is there any other city of
900 population in the United States where
neither party has nominated brewer, saloon
keeper, or bartender for public office? For
several years at least this has been true in
this city.

JAPANESE ACT
CRUELTY IN KOREA
AN AMERICAN OFFICIAL SAYS
THAT THE NATIVES HAVE BEEN
BRUTALLY MURDERED.

LONDON, May 15.-An American Of
fetal, who has returned from Korea,
has been talking to a correspondent
LOT the Manchester Dispatch about the
brutal methods of the Japanese in gov
erning that splendid spoil of the recent
war. He expressed himself indignant
ly as to the gross cruelty and injus-
tice with which, he said, the Japanese
treat the Koreans.
Il know of cases." he said, where
Koreans have been tied to crosses and
have been riddled with bullets merely
for requesting payment for their con-
fiscated land"
He insists that the Japanese are ex-
tremely hostile to all form of foreign
enterprise in those portions of the Ash
attic mainland subject to their DONNA
ton and are doing all they can to drive
foreigners out of the country. He says
also that the Japanese are as hostile
to Engishmen as TO any other variety
of European, looking upon the much
Wanted alliance as a confession of
England's weakness.
"They are treading" he continued,
ION everybody's toes and some con-
cessionaries get more support from
Washington than the British do from
their Foreign Office, where Japan is
concerned"

RAID RECEPTION
AT WHITE HOUSE
Members of Congress Taken From
Mrs, Roosevelt's Gathering

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Deputies
of the sergeant-at-arms of the House
of Representatives invaded the White
House while Mrs. Roosevelt's reception
to the Governors and other dignitaries
attending the conservation of resources
conference was in progress this after
noon and corralled all members of the
House present. The members were
wanted to make a quorum for a vote
upon sending the Vreeland-Aldrich bill
to conference. So far as known it was
the first time a White House function
was ever broken in upon by the police
power of Congress for any suCn pur-
pose.
The raid" resulted in the capture of
between thirty and forty members,
and a lack of quorum at the House
was prevented. So quietly were the
arrests" made that no excitement was
caused among those present, few of
whom, aside from those directly con-
cerned, knew Of what had taken place.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, it is said, gave Or
ders to swoop down on the White
House.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-All the
$50 delegates to the republican ma
tional convention have been chosen.
On the face of the returns SIT have
been instructed for Secretary TAFT,
2G more than sufficient To nominate
on the first ballot. In addition the
managers of Secretary Taft's cam
paign claim SO delegaSes by indorse-
ment and 81 by declaration. In such
cases specific instructions were not
given, but a preference indicated by
resolution for Taft. The managers
add these 81 to the SIT instructed
delegates, making a grand total, on
which they rely, of 5S4.
The allied opposition does not Gre
dit Secretary Taft with contested
delegates or those by Endorsement or
declaration. BY placing all the CON
tested delegates against him the al
lied opposition allow Secretary Taft
only 355 instructed votes, giving all
other candidates 231, leaving 226 un-
instructed and ia contested.
The allies announce a determine
ton to continue fighting, although
the election of delegates has been
completed They intend to carry their
contest to the floor Of the convention
at Chicago. A first ballot nominal on

to barter for the transfer of their

PRESIDENT CALLS
HALT ON JAPANESE
The Failure to Stop the Influx of
Laborers Brings Forth
Remonstrance.
THE DEPORTATION OF ALIENS.
The Agreement Must BE Observed or
an Exclusion Law Will
Be Enacted.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Members
of congress are authority for the
statement that the president has adj
dressed a strong remonstrance to ia
pan on account of the continued in
1ux of Japanese laborers. The state
department declines to make any
statement in reference to the mat
ter.
Regret is expressed in official cir
Giles at the failure of Japan to arrest
the flow of laborers to the United
States. The passport agreement came
into force in January, 1907, and a
drop of 4,304 occurred in immigra-
ton for that month as compared with
January, 1906. February shows a de-
crease of 2,157; March of 2,19S, and
April of 1,1S5. The bulletins of the
bureau of immigration, however,
merely give the number of immi-
grants Officially admitted.
ALIENS MAY BE DEPORTED.
Under the law the regulations is
sued by Commissioner General Sar-
gent if a Japanese or Korean skilled
or mskilled laborer is found in the
continental territory of the United
States without having been duly adj
mitted upon inspection, he may be
arrested with a view to his deporta-
| ticn.
1t is extremely difficult, however,
to locate a Japanese or Korean who
is without warrant to be in this coun,
| try. Consequently the government
must turn to Japan for redress and
demand that it prevent the departure
for the United States of it's laborers
or permit the enforcement here OF
an exclusion law.
The Japanese have shown unmis
takably that they would resent bit
terly the legalization of a policy oil
exclusion. Nor does the president
wish to subject them to such a humi
liation. His acts have shown that he
wanted Japan itself to regulate this
matter, but at the same time he has
given warning that unless such regu
lations should be made and enforced
the United States would be COMPEL
Ell to pass an exclusion law.
HANDLE SITUATION GENTLY.
The disposition of the authorities
so far as can be learned, is to dea
carefully with the latest phase of thi
question and, while insisting upon oh
servance of the agreement reached
several months ago, to give due re
gard to the delicate situation of The
present ministry in Japan. The
agreement of several months ago was
accepted by the ministry in the face
OF strong opposition. The emigration
companies of Japan placed every OBJ
stacle in the way of a satisfactory
arrangement.
AS a result of pressure by the Unit
ed States and Great Britain, the de
partment of foreign affairs was charg
ed with the duty of issuing passport!
to all persons desiring to visit Ha
wall, the understanding being tina
only relatives of Japanese laborers il
the islands should be allowed to &C
there. 1t looks as if there has beer
an evasion of the agreement In some
way, and it is expected, now that the
attention of Japan has been called t
it, that immediate action will be TAX
