CHINESE BOYS FUTURE
Is In lIInGE,S AAMnc

DeS MONIES, Ia, May 14.-The future
OF Jeu Yung, a Chinaman, lies with
Judge Smith Mcpherson, of the United
States district court. Jeu, who for four
years has been a student of Drake uni
versity, is condemned to be deported
to his native land because he is
Christian and his admission papers are
faulty.
That is the verdict of federal court
in St Louis and Judge Mcpherson is
going to intercede with the immigra-
tion authorities i'm behalf of the Chinese
boy. Jeu wants to go back to China,
but when he goes he wants to go as
physician and q missionary, healer
of the physical and spiritual ailments
of the people of his native land. In
order to do that he will have to stay
in Drake another year.
Several years ago while living in ST.
Louis, Jeu became Christian and
Joined little club that was organized
by some good women Of church there.
Jeu learned many new things He
threw aside the gods that were wor-
SHIPPED by his countrymen and took
up a new one.
The persecution of the black hand
are not SO relentless as those that were
instituted against Jeu by the members
of the tong he had forsaken for the
new faith. They eliminated in suit
in the federal court which was brought
against him by his enemies, and which
resulted i'm the order that he should
be sent back to China
