AFTER THE LAUNDR|ES
GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE AC.
TON AGAINST TRUST.
Plan to Proceed Against Those Do
ing Business in Capital Is I'm
der Consideration.

Along with the great concerns of wide
scope whose affairs have been looked into
by the government, some of the laundry
concerns of this city, it is understood,
may have trouble, for the government is
considering evidence bearing on the exist
ence of laundry trust in the National
Capital.
The papers in the case are under con-
sideratiOn by United States District At
torney Wilson, but no final conclusions
have been reached. so far as the officials
will admit. 1t is claimed that some of
the concerns in this city are operating
in restraint of trade.
The contemplation of action against the
1aundries recalls the speech made in
Congress several years ago by Repre-
sentative ]. HAMPTON Moore of Phila-
delphia, who complained of the ravages
of the Washington laundry on shirt
bosoms and other linen.
United States Attorney Wilson today
refused to discuss any phase of the con-
templated action against the alleged To-
cal laundry trust

quarter of a point, and left it at 50. The
asking price was an eighth of point in

was 81 and the asking price unchanged
at IS The bid for ten shares was S7A,

point, and the seller stated that he had
more of the stock for sale at half-a-
point rise on each quotation lot.

quarter of a point in advance of what

POWER IN PHILIPPINES
SUPREME COURT UPHoLDS THE
GOVERNOR GENERAL.
Deportation of Undesirable Aliens
Within Province of Insular
Government.

The bureau of insular affairs of the
War Department has received a cable
gram from Manila announcing that the
supreme court of the islands, on July 80.
decided that the Philippine government
possesses all powers, military and civil
and judicial. necessary to govern the is
lands, and has power and duty to deport
aliens whose presence is found injurious
to public good and domestic tranquility:
that the governor general of the Philip
pine Islands is invested with plenary
power to deport obnoxious aliens, and. i'm
the absence of express rules as to meth
DDS. he may use such methods as his
judgment and conscience dictate: that
the judicial department in the absence
of express Legislative authority will not in
tervene to. control such power or to in
quire if the governor general is liable in
damages for its exercise.
This decision will presume bly, end a con-
troversy which arose through the follow
ing conditions: For more than a year
prior to August 1909, there had been de-
veloping in. Manila some secret organiza-
tons among the Chinese SO powerful that
they finally began measures similar to
those taken by similar societies in San
Francisco, and which placed reputable
blackmail and practically a state of ter
ror. The courts were poWerless. as the
perpetrators of crimes could either in
timidate the complainant and his wit
nesses or produce an overwhelming array
of witnesses to prove aibis or present
evidence in support of their side of any
case
The governor general of the Philippine
Islands had been considering for some
time what action should be taken to meet
this condition of affairs, when matters
came to head while he was absent on
an inspection trip, and his representative
in Manila, upon the request of the Chi
nese Chamber of Commerce and the Chi
nese consul, caused twelve men, members
of these secret societies, one of them
being a prominent citizen, and the others
being classed as merchants and property
holders, to be delivered to the Chinese
consul in launch August 90, 1909.
The consul receipted for their personal
and registration papers and put them on
steamer specially chartered by the
Chinese, which bore them direct to Annoy,
China.
This action was taken in the absence of
the governor general. but on his return
he assumed responsibility for it. There
was considerable local excitement. the
action of the government being criticised
by some as arbitrary. but the great ma
jority of people thoroughly approved the
action taken.

Earl B. Harden, who, according to a
dispatch from Cumberland. Md, was kill
ed at that place yesterday by either fall
ing or being struck by a freight train
near what is known as the Narrows, was
a former resident of this city. Mr.. Har-
den lived at the residence of Mrs. Mary
Mullings, 3Oi North Pitt street. He was
thirty-two years old and unmarried, and
was a son of Joseph Harden of Little
Falls, w. Va. Harden came to Alexan-
dria June 81, 1909, and left this city June
IA last in search of employment. While
here he joined the local Paperhangers,
Painters and Decorators Union, and it
was through a union card in his pocket
that identification was made possible.
According to the dispatch the body
was found lying beside the railroad track
by the crew of Baltimore and Ohio
freight. The body was viewed by Coroner
Frank Beal, who deemed an inquest I'M
necessary. The body will probably be
taken to his home in West Virginia. The
belief of the Maryland authorities is that
Harden was on his way home when he
met death.
