MOSCOW SALOONS WILL FIGHT.
Contend City Cannot Take Away Their
Licenses.

! Moscow Star-Mirror: Another OF
Moscow's salons has closed its doors.
The state and county license under
which Joseph Nordhorst was run
ming expired on the S0th of June at
midnight. The Commercial Bar on
Main street closed its doors last week,
their county and state license having
expired on the 22nd of June. This
leaves MOSCOW with three saloons
still doing business. Each of these
three holds a county and state IL
cense which does not expire until
next April.
The ordinance recently passed by
the city council will compel these sa-
looms to close after the 5th of August,
at which time their city licenses will
have expired. From a source that
cannot be doubted the Star-Mirror
has obtained information to the eff
feet that one and perhaps all three
of these saloons will make an effort
to continue in business until their
county and state licenses shall have
tApiAtus IL NAllS Gnu COunStl nave
been engaged both local and in Spo-
kane and the city may expect a stiff
fight to uphold its ordinance. The
exact grounds upon which the sa-
loon men will base their contentious
could not be learned, neither could
the names of counsel engaged. It is
believed, however, that the principal
point is that the city of Moscow can
not pass a law which conflicts with !
the stae laws, and it is contended that
the ordinance in question does so
conflict, inasmuch as It seeks to pro-
hibit the sale of lijuor for which a
license has been granted by the coun-
ty commissioners under a state law. I
This legal battle will attract wide
spread attention and the outcome will
be awaited with keen interest, OIL
course, it is expected the test case will Il
go through the supreme court.

CHINESE RAILROAD
OFFICIALS ARRIVE
Two Commissioners Come to
Study American Methods
of Construction

There arrived here yesterday from
China two imperial railroad commits
sioners who have come to the United
States to- take a few lessons from Mr.
Hartman and other transportation
kings before undertaking the construc-
tion of a railroad from Yunnan to SEE
Chuang, a distance of 600 miles. They
want to make their road a model for
organization and have come to America
to learn how.
The commissioners are T. Y. WI
Hsin and K. Y. Cheng Tou. WI Hsin
at home is expectant district magistrate
Of Sze Chuang and deputy of the Yum
nan railway company. Cheng Tou is a
director of the railroad company and
assistant secretary of the board of civil
Office. They are the first Chinese rail
road commissioners who ever came to
this country as such.
Among the passengers who arrived
here yesterday on the liner Siberia
were 10 Chinese students, two of whom
are going to the University of Califor-
MIA and eight to Yale, Harvard and
Cornell. They come from Ching Kiane
province and were selected by the pro-
vincial government out of a great army
of students. They will remain in the
United States four years, their progress
being watched closely by representa-
tives of the Chinese government. After
their graduation they will return to
China, where the government will find
them employment and distribute them
where their American training will be
of most use to China.

COOLIES ABUSED IN
MEXICO, IS CHARGE
Chinese Commissioner Comes to
Investigate Alleged iii Treat
ment of COuntrymen
Mining Company in Santa Ro-
salia Subject of Complaint
by Oriental LabOrerS

The reported i'll treatment of Chinese
coolies employed by the Boleo COM
pany, a French concern operating a
large copper concession at Santa Ro-
salia, Mexico, has aroused the Chinese
government to action. Paul H. c.
Ciong, provincial prefect of Foochow,
arrived here yesterday on the liner
Siberia under orders to make a per-
sonal investigation of the complaints
which have reached China of wrongs
which the Chinese minister to Mex
leo has been unable TO right. He will
proceed to Santa Rosalia by the first
steamer and after hearing the story
of his countrymen and consulting with
the officials of the mining company, he
viii go to Mexico City and lay the
matter before President Diaz, to whom
he is accredited as an imperial COM
missioner.
The commissioner, who was given
the name Paul, he says, by his old in
structor, Rev. George B. Smyth, now
of Berkeley, said that he preferred to
wait until he had made his investiga-
tion before going into any details. None
of his countrymen had been killed,
but he had reason, he said, to believe
that they had been sorely imposed
upon. The Chinese minister had tried
to alleviate their wrongs, but the COM
plants continued to pour into the state
department and the government at Pc
king had ordered him to Mexico to ad-
just the trouble.
The French company has absolute
control over Santa Rosalia. which is
situated in one of the hottest corners
Of the gulf of California. Nobody may
remain overnight at the settlement
without permission from the mine su-
perintendent, whose rule over mine
employees is absolute. There is no way
of leaving the place except by the oc-
casional steamer, as Santa Rosalia is
bounded on the land side by a vast
desert and the waters of the gulf that
sizzle against its sun baked shores are
infested with sharks. The Chinese COO
lies work in the copper mines for a
daily wage of 20 cents Mexican.
