CHINESE AND
EXCLUSION LAW
THE NEW CONSUL SAYS CHINESE
MUST WORK TO HAVE IT MUCH
MODIFIED.

A reception was given to the new
Chinese Consul General for Hawaii at
the Chinese United Society's hail on
King street, at 1870 on Saturday. Ber-
gers band was present and rendered
good music. After polite bows, intro
auctions and tea drinking, Mr.. lsang
was invited to address the gathering.
He said in part:
Il am glad to meet you here in the
Chinese United Society hall of Homo
lulu at this reception. With your Of
ficers and committees, and large mem
bership, you have a great influence
among the Chinese of Hawaii. / am
also glad to see Mr.. Thwing here to-
day, for he <. doing good work for the
Chinese people of the Islands. AS a
Chinese United Society, you are a very
important part of the Chinese of Ho-
nolulu You can aid them in many
ways. But in case there are any mat
ters that you cannot settle among
yourselves ! am here to help you. Gail
on me at any time you have need.
| The Chinese government has shown
| its interest in the Chinese abroad by
sending ambassadors and consuls to be
ready to assist them. We want to do
so. But remember you also have a
work to do. You are Chinese, ] see
your faces, you cannot deny that you
are Chinese people. And so you must
work for the good of your own coun-
try.
"As | said, want to help you when
/ can, but l cannot help you in every
thing. For example, a Chinese met
me the other day, and said he had
been arrested for peddling fish on the
street, and wanted my aid. cannot
attend to such things. The Board Of
Health of Honolulu has rules for the
selling of fish. He who sells fish must
keep them, and sell fish in the market,
If that is the proper place. You must
all try and keep the laws Of the coun-
try.
| we all would IKE 10 see more CHI
nese come to Hawaii. 1t would make
the business everywhere better. / viii
do what l can to aid in this matter.
am going to write to the Chinese
Ambassador on the question. He has
promised to help. This Exclusion Law
is very unsatisfactory. It was said at
first that it was not exclusion, but on
ly a temporary restriction OF Chinese
immigration. Some Chinese laborers
should be allowed to come to Hawaii.
And a new treaty must be made more
clear If the coming of Chinese labor
ers to America is restricted, the re-
striction must be made so plain that II
will not trouble scholars, merchants
and other classes who wish to come"

Preparations Already Under Way For Fourth Of July Celebration.

Nogales. Ariz., March 19.-(Special Correspondence Of The Republican)- )- The railroad company has done a great amount of business in the way of freight during the past winter. Nearly two million pounds of oranges have been shipped out of Mexico so far this season. Also over four thousand pounds of tomatoes have gone through. These all went through in transit and therefore brought no duty here to Un- cle Sam. Besides the above large quan- titles of tobacco have also been ship ped abroad. The crop of oranges ma tured early this year in Sonora and the shipments were sent out before Cali fornia got a chance to get ahead. Last year the crop in Sonora was almost a total loss from a financial standpoint. but this year will pay up for what was then considered poor business.
 The board of trade has taken the in itiative and already begun to arrange for a grand celebration on the fourth of July. A committee will be appoint ed, consisting of members of the board and aided by a representative from every locality in the county. will soon begin to make the general plans for all the exercises. By starting early the railroads can manage to arrange ahead for a cheap rate for the occasion and have plenty of time for publishing the

A CAPTURED CONVICT
 Ills DOUBLE CRIME
William Tempe Escaping From the Penitentiary, Stole Lot of Jewelry

William Tempe was landed in the county jail last night. a step on the way to the penitentiary whence he es- capped on the evening of November l. last. Tempe, who is an Indian. had been sent to Yuma from this county for grand larceny in 1906. His term was approaching its end and he was made a trusty and was given the run of Superintendent Rynning's residence. On the night of his departure he went through the house and went out with a diamond ring. a ladies' gold watch. a gold bracelet. a gold class pin and a golden brooch set with turquoise.
 No trace could be secured of William Tempe for several days and then an officer at Colton, Cai.. --oIe that he had most of the jewelry and had had the thief for a few minutes. He said that one might be arrested a lot of ho- boes and shaving searched them found one of them laden with jewelry. He supposed it was ''phoney' but he took possession of it. On the way to the jail the man from whom he had taken the stuff broke away. The officer could not follow him fearing that the others would decamp and the rest of the hoboes in hand seemed worth more than the one in the bush. When thS oI- ficer got to the light and examined the jewelry he recognized it as that that had been described in circular he had lately received from Yuma. He had all of the plunder except the gold watch.
 4 few days ago some Indians of the upper reservation reported to Agent H. M. Alexander that Tempe was then somewhere on the reservation. Word was sent to the office of the sheriff and Deputy Davis went up after him. By that time he had taken to the brush and could not be located. A few days later the Indians reported to the agent that Tempe had returned. The agent told them to say to hlm that if he would come in and surrender he would write a letter to the warden who might make things easier for him. They did so and yesterday Tempe surrendered. Agent Alexander brought him down last night.

New York's famous state prison at Sing Sing, through it's official head, the warG n. indignantly denies that it has been stealing water The i,puta- ticn that lt would steal anything arouses the righteous wrath of the fa- nous institution which has housed mere celebrated abstracters of other peoples property than any other acad- emy of crime in the country. The story which brought out the denial was that a secret pipe led from the Croton reservoir from which the city's water supply is drawn to the prison. and that its inmates were enjoying the luxury of free water which costs the metropolis itself millions of dollars a year. Even the hardest muck -raker has not heretofore dared to accuse a state prison Of stealing.
