mated it viii require 100000 to recon
struct the fort. 1t is hoped that the
west barracks, in which the surrender
on May 10, IT75, to Ethan Allen and
his Green Mountain boys took place.
will be completed in time for the trf-.
centennial at Lake Champlain, WHICH
opens July T.
No effort has been spared in seeking
out original aarawings and data cover
ing the building, and it is thought it
will take ten years to completely re-
construct the fort.
Fort Ticonderoga abounds in historic
incidents. 1t was built by the Fre1reh h
and named Fort Carlton (Chime of
Beils) in allusion to the musical sound
of the waterfalls near by. Several
years later the present name was
adopted. In 1857 MonteaIm assembled
there force of 5000 men. with which
he took Fort William Henry. on Lake
George. On July 5, 1853, General Aber-
eromhle, with $4,000 men. stormed Fort
Carlton, but was repulsed In 1859
General Amherst, with a force of 10000
men, invested it and the French. be-
ing too weak to withstand an attack,
dismantled and abandoned both this
fort and Crown Point, which were then
enlarged and strengthened by the Eng
lish. Being weakly CARR soned after the
cession of Canada to Great Britain
Tieonderoga was surprised and captured
| on May 10, ITS, by Ethan Allen.
After the war the fort gradually fell

er to restrict Japanese immigration
and alleviate the condition protested
against by the Japanese and Korean
exclusion league of California as well
as numerous labor leaders.
Assemblyman johnson, when he
presented 1t again on the first day for
the presentation of bills at this ses-
sion, stated that he had done so with
out prompting by the Asiatic exclusion
league or any other organization.
AS soon as the Japanese heard the
news of the revival of the bill Japan
made representations to Washington
that it would, if passed, violate the
treaty rights of that nation, and after
consultation with Secretary of State
Root, the president wired Governor
Gfllett urging that action be delayed
again. But it was not over the school
bill that the federal authorities seemed
TO be concerned. They did not believe
at that time that it would be passed.
The president specifically mentioned as
obnoxious a measure introduced by A
NJ Drew of Fresno prohibiting the
ownership of lands bv aliens. AS Jap
anese are not permitted to become citi-
Zens, they considered the bill as a blow
aimed especially at them. Governor
Gillett sent a message to the legisla-
ture asking that the land bill be killed
and this was done. But later when
the school bill which had been quietly
reported on favorablv by the com
mittee to which it was referred was
called up for final passage. it was
adopted by a vote of As to 2S
The president was astounded by the
news and at once wired Governor Gil
lett that this was "the most offensive
bill Of ALL"
Walter Leeds of Los Angeles had
given notice that he would move to re-
consider the vote by which the meas
ure passed and the governor sent an
other message urging the assem- bly, to
reconsider and kill it.
This precipitated the battle that cul-
minated in victory for the president.

Secretary Straus Gives Labor Leaders
Some Pointers.

Washington. Feb. 11.-At the con-
ference of leaders of organized labor
with Secretary Straus of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, which
was continued today. criticism of pres
ent immigra ton laws was made by
nearly every speaker, including Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, Warren s. Stone
of the locomotive engineers and Presi-
dent Valentine of the Molders union.
Mr.. Valentine declared that condi-
tions affecting unemployed workmen
We're worse than in the panic years of
1873, and 1898. He urged restrictions
on immigration.
Secretary Straus pointed out that
the United States had internal obliga-
tions as old as the country itself, which
could not be abrogated, even when it
might seem temporarily advantageous
