Nearly 10000 in California
and More Arriving
Every Week.

San Francisco, June 16.-There
are nearly 10000 Hindus in Califor-
MIA.
Hundreds of them are scattered
over the rest of the coast from the
Canadian line to the Mexican border.
Every steamer from the Orient
brings in three score or more of these
turbaned residents of India, and it
is estimated that they are arriving
at the rate of 100 a week.
And the wholesale migration of
the Hindus has brought the people
of the coast fact to face with a prob
lem which promises to be far great
er than that ever offered by the COM
ing of the japanese, against which
there was so much agitation two
years ago.
Back of the trouble are the rail-
roads.
c. p. Started 1t.
The Canadian Pacific started the
evil through its desire for cheal la
Dor, and in an effort to earn large
dividends for its steamship lines.
The Hindus came to Canada first,
where the rigorous clamate forced
them into Washington and Oregon.
In these states white laborers revolt
ed against their places being taben
by the brown man and riots follow
ed. The Hindus were driven from
Seattle, Danville, Everett, Belling-
ham. Portland and other cities of the
Northwest into California.
Then they began pouring into the
port of San Francisco. AS a result
of this influx, the local exclusion
league declared war on Hart H.
North, immigration commissioner for
San Francisco, and he was called to
Washington to answer questions. The
trouble came to a head when, at a
meeting of the board of inspectors,
who were to pass on number or
Hinius. as to whether they were fit
to land or not, North made the fol-
lowing statement to the board:
I'm the office today I was inter-
viewed by a railroad contractor from
the California Northwestern extern
sion. He stated that he had IS Hin
dus working for him, and wanted a
pass for more. I gave him pass.
He said he had use for all the Hin
dus he could get; that he found them
not unsatisfactory laborers; that
they could not do as we'll as white
laborers, but that they kept at it and

did pretty WE'LL"
1t later developed that the railroad
agent North referred to was one Bos-
well and that he represented B. L.
Vermani and Bal Mokund, both Hin
due labor contractors.
And the peculiar feature of the
case was that an agent of an employ
ment concern was given the right to
appear for aliens in whom he could
! have no interest other than to OBJ
tain cheap labor for railroads.
Nothing Imaginary.
There is nothing imaginary in the
declaration that the Hindu peril is
a real one Dirty bands of from a
score to two score consumptive, ema-
ciated Hindus, their heads covered
by dirty yellow, red, white and black
turbans, can be seen every day on
the streets of the coast cities. In
the railroad camps and the vineyards
and in mills and foundries these peo-
pie of India are rapidly driving out
white labor because they work
cheaper.
A white man cannot live for what
Hindu cannot only live on but save
| money as well. Their pay averages
s1.65 a day. Out of this they sup
port themselves and save over 81
day to send back to India. This has
been proved in hundreds of cases.
Recently attention was called to the
fact that the gangs of Hindus en-
ployed by the railroads in the north
ern part of California and by the
Diamond Match company were buy
ing money orders at the rate of $1,000
a day. The men who send this
amount are paid higher than the 9TH
ers, 81 day.
But the great danger is not so
much in their competition with white
men as the fact that sooner or later
| these men will be unable to work,
except for the railroads, and when
this time does come the railroads
will have a veritable army of Hin
dus whom they can hold in a state
of abject peonage. Not being able
to work for others they must neces-
sarily work for the transportation
companies, or else become public
charges.
The Hindus are the most undesir-
able of Asiatic immigrants. They
are dirty, immoral, insolent to wom-
en-, and thieves They do not know
the first principles of sanitation, as
case which came up recently in
Vancouver proves. In house which
was large enough for but six persons
70 Hindus found a place to sleep
and live. The Hindu cannot become
a citizen because he has not the MAX
ing of one.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
UNDER A COFFIN LID.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Have you read Hall Gaines story
OF .sThe Prodigal Som
Briefly it is this. The hero places his
musical composition in the coffin of
his dead wife. The act was one of
contrition. for he had badly treated
his wife. A few years passed. and he
forgot his remorse- In order TO sup
port a wanton woman he dug up the
coffin. got the manuscript and sold it
for money.
The story is founded on the real life
story of Rossetti. the poet-painter.
Rossetti married a beautiful young
girl whom be sadly neglected She
died-some say by her own hand
and Rossetti was stricken by remorse
Just before the coffin lid was closed
he took the manuscript Of his poems
and placed it between the cheek and
hair OF his child wife
Time passed.
Rossetti's friends Morris and Swim
burne attained distinction, and the
former himself began to banker for
fame. But his best work was buried
in the girl wife's grave. At the urgent
request Of his friends Rossetti disin-
tered the body of his wife. recovered
the manuscript and published the
poems And he won instant fame as
q poet
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

The story Of penitence swallowed up

1t is better so.
