~ DOR little Nan Lay! The Chinese exclusion act has found her out and
sorely against her will, she is % be taken away from the Montana

she cannot ever remember.
Nan Lay is a young Chinese woman whose parents sold her when she "a
a child Of T. Perhaps n o human being is 10 much the port Of cunstanc
as a Chinese baby girl whose parents care more Tor money than for her.
Nan Lays father and mother, Hong Kong people, sold her to a Chinaman
who made a business of buying little girls He brought her to San Francisco
-Four times before she was IA did she pass into the hands o a new master
The at oe a Chnaman, took her Ito Montana, where Tor six years she
lived as his wife But all this time TAI Lay was learnfng the white mans
ways. She became a Christian, and got a divorce
After that Nan Lay devoted herself to missionary work among Ter coun-
|trywomen, becoming a great favorte with the people of the Presbyterian
church in the town of Bozeman, where she lives fE## M
This was O to last, however An official of the immigration service
discovered that she did not have the necessary certificate emitting her to be
in this country. Nan Lay vas arrested. The business mn of Bozena raised
money 10 fight h case, but HI courts decided that she must 70.
1t is a hard blow to Nan Lay, who will be a stranger in a strange land.
In his country she can make he. living as a housemaid or aNseanstress, tut
In China Chinese maid servants are not popular. And the Chinese lay does
not recognize the rights of women. III
In Hong Kong, it is true she will be under the protection o he British az.
thorites, but should she 20 outside of that jurisdiction, she could be forced
into any nfe no matter how degrading.
But the Presbyterans of Bozemanh ave written the Presbyterian mission
aries Of Hong Kong, asking them to look after Nan Lay, and she nay become
a missionary worker there, avs the New York Tribune.
That however, does no console Nan Lay, who is N such grief at leaving
the only life she has ever known that the United States marshal who as her
in charge, is afraid that she will attempt suicide.

THE BLACK HAND SOLUTION?
Barbara Kent Indicates That Relief of Those in Distress Is One Of
the Means Of Staying the Hand of Violence.
BY BARBARA KENT.

AzaHE Black Hand is pointing % its chosen victims in Newark, a g else
where While II people as a who'll are safe, there is n o means OF
= knowing just where and when a blow will be struck, Dynamite,
the torch, the bullet bludgeon and blade are the menaces to life and prop
erty.
Threats have been received by many persons. and while few have been
out, partly because of the immediate protection sought n partly be-
cause of interference Or the earnest of the Black Hand, there is always nat
fear near us that W. may some day be the victims.
These vicious threats made by the Black Hand can only be attributed %
the uneducated and FESTIVE. Driven from their W country because of pow

This is MY one of many similar cases. The fathers, who seet their chill

desperation, and then, with the vicious endeavor to get money by threaten

And so what III W e to do? How are we to stop these evils?

10 the Editor OF the Evening otdT'
Where does the expression ITS al

GRIPPING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.

The cheesepaTng by Congressional committees usually has in view SON
extravaganza of expenditure in a direction to crafty the constituents of
members. No political capital can be gotten out of money spent o n general
objects, and much might be had by putting the appropriations into public
buildings and river and harbor improvements The War Department asked
for a total of $8S44S945 for Notifications and the estimates were cons@va-
tive too. but the House committee reduced the amount to SSHO61L, which
allows nothing for the forihcatons of continental United States. although it
has been forcnhy represented tt Congress that there arr vital defects even in
the defenses Of New York and Boston, while the Notifications of Chesapeake
Bay have been declared by engineering experts to be almost worthless It
is a pity that the great interests, even the welfare of the county should at
an time be subordinated to local interests Of congressional politicians

PROHIBITION DEFEATED AND REBUKED.

A piece of consummate folly the Crosby prohibition bill, the enactment
of which by the Legislature wal dem anded by several thousands Of people
in the state with all the intemperance that characterizes the extremFt
as squeched by the Legislature yesterday by the significant vote o a 10
is. all the Essex members voting against the bill. There were several reh-
and public policy. In the second pla &C. the radical change it proposed hd
never been mad al issue before the people and therefore there vas n wr
ran for its enactment And, again, the Governor and members OF tn Lesls-
lature had been personally threatened, in letters speeches. IN the per-
Torrance of their duties by partsans of the bill The most violent threats
it is asserted were penned by Prohibtonist cergymen. 1t is not vel "
have the ministry engaging in partisan politics, but the init is exceeded
when its political activity takes the form of threatening the Governor and
the lawmakers with inhcton of personal harm if they do not follow a
course laid down for them. The resentment of these extraordinary
acse Expressed by Assembymen o n the floor yesterday reflects the senu
nent of people generally. The folly of the Crosby bill was more than
to reflect that their own intemperance not only contributed to its
utter defeat, but ut the stigma of contempt upon the threatener. 1t would
be a sorry condition of public affairs in New Jersey when a noisy minority
should be enabled to force the Legislature, by intinidatng threats, to pass
a bill of ny character. We have not reached such a condition yet prob
ably never will
An analysis OF the Crosby bill has shown that it was not a ocal option
bill at ALL but q measure designed to force prohibition m the State Poht-
il prohibition has always been opposed % local option or to license in
N FORM, and has repeatedly so declared But every Prohibitonst was
for the Crosby bill recognizing it as a prohibition measure. All the
speaker in favor of the bill at the recent public hearing at Trenton were
the vote of the State in any election, and numbers less "a the socahsts II
as supremely impudent for its representatives to appear at Trenton to
voice a demand of the whole people of New Jersey. But there will oe IN
election this year and the Prohfbltionists can make a test Of the real majority
sentiment of the State by putting the Crosby bill in their State platform.

A CAUSE FOR The FRICTION AT TRENTON

1t is unfortunate that there should be developed IN friction in tn rHa-
ions of the executive and legislative branches of the State government
such a has been witnessed since the Legislature met Governor Fort, IN he
exercise of his constitutional prerogatve, advised the Legislature as to GER
tain public policies, and his recommendations afterwards took the on
crete form of bills that were introduced in tn W houses ne pas wre
nreuared early in the session, but since their reference to the committees
little has been lone with them, although the session is in its mint week
AS to some Of these bills it is we'll understood why they stick in commit
tee. The commission reform bills area ntagonized by existing COMMISSIONS

contract printers as well as these managers, are opposed to a department
Of public reports that would eliminate useless matter ant cut nj printers
.fatr in the State printing jobs It is easy to understand som of the UNI
DERIVING reasons for the friction between the Governor n the Legislature
when there are sc many selfish interests coverty at work to make friction
and defeat legislation.
