be felt more than it will in schools

HOLDS ACTOR IS
NOT A LAb0RER
Delicate Question Settled by
Decision oi United States
Commissioned.

Though an actor may work as hard as
a plantation field hand. he--or she's
not laborer within the meaning Of
the Chinese Exclusion Act, according TO
a very important decision rendered yes
terdav By a. T. Judd, United States
Commissioner IN the case of the United
States Of America versus Mok Soey
Iing
Mok Soey Wing IS a Chinese actress
one Of the few now in captivity. for
according to Chinese custom female
characters as well as male characters
are portrayed on the stage by men.
According to the commissioner, the
defendant showed affirmatively that she
had been q resident OF the United
States for a period Of ten years. But
outstanding this. she was. on July
- last, taken into custody as a Chi
nese laborer unlawfullv within the
United States. and deportation proceed
ings were commenced against her. The
defense took the ground that an actor
IS not labOrer and it was this delicate
question that the commissioner was
called upon to settle. As above stated
he holds that an actor is net a labore1
and that the woman. therefore, is en-
titled to remain in the country
