CHINAMAN SEEKS DEPORTATION
CHEZ KONG, HOWEVER, TO BE

Homesick After Seventeen Years in
Omerican-A Penniless Christian.
Government Gives No Help.

''I want to go back to China to see my
mother. That's why I'm in Washington.

government would deport me. / have no
money to pay my way, and l want to see
my home SO much again.
Seventeen years ago. when l was only
fourteen years old. l came to America.
And that's long time to be away from
ones home. Isn't it?''
The foregoing was the plea of Chez
Kong, Cantonese Chinaman. spoken in
excellent English. to Judge Kimball. in
Police Court this morning, when he faced
the court upon charge of vagrancy.
He told a long story of having tried to
save money without success to go back
to his native land. Finally he became SO
homesick he said, that he determined to
interest the government in his behalf
With this idea in view he came to Wash
ington from Utica, N. Y, about week
ago.

cinct who arrested Chez Kong and pre-
ferred the vagrancy charge against him.

Chinaman had been sleeping about in the

place he could lay his head. and always

the neighborhood of B street and Penn
sylvania avenue had become nuisance
and 1t was decided to arrest him. Judge
Kimball convicted the man and ordered
him committed to the workhouse for two
months in default of q 500 bond.
In substantiation of his story that his
sole purpose of being in Washington was
to interest the government in having him
deported, he exhibited letter signed by
Congressman George N. Southwick OF
New York. stating the latter had called
attention to Chee's desire to be deported
to government officials. and II anything
could be done for him his wish should be
complied with as far as possible.
Chez said he called at both the Treas
ury Department and the Department Of
Commerce and Labor which he said were
most unsatisfactory in results.
HE won't do anything for me-" said
the Chinaman when asked why he did
not seek the assistance of the Chinese
minister. I've been in America too
long,
Are you a Christian" he was asked.
Yes" was the response. I've been one
for fifteen years. / used to worship Con-
fucius with my mother and my father

EXPOSITION At SEATTLE.

Chicago shows have merely done over
AGAIN what had been done before.
Tho Observation-Disclosures Exposition

Those who planned this year, show
assumed nothing less than the task
OF introducing that half at the world
which is developed almost to the ulti.
mate. 20 that other half which. by com.
parison. Is developed not az all and
which. for centuries % come. must be-
the field Of the worlds greatest work
Seattle's Exposition will bring to-
gether the Occidcnt and the Orient

know them both. II will assemble al,
islands and peoples of the South
seas. so that Tagal may look az Siwash
and the world know each as he T..

try that he knows not.
This is the fundamental difference
between the Alaska-Yukon.P Pacific
show and its predecessors. But there
are OtheTs-the exposition will be
ready to open on time. Il was ninety
five per cent completed three months
before the opening date-June LIST
and il did not ask the United States
for money. Equally sur
pTising is the fact that the hotel
keepers of the Exposition city have
made an irOn-clad agreement not to
raise their rates.
The railroads expect to carry 2,OOO.-
200 people to Seattle this summer.
They will see the most novel. and

bounced to be. the most beautiful ex.
