WHEAT CROP PLACED BY
EXPERT At 70 PER CENT

From private reports received since
threshing commenced in Eastern
Washington, and which are now nearly
complete from some districts, L. &c.
Patu1lo, manager of Balfour- Guthrie &
Co., expressed the opinion that the
wheat crop of the state will be 20 per
cent Of last years bumper crop.
Mr.. Pattullo stated that reports from
many points are more encouraging
than first reports indicated and that
where almost total failure was report
ed, considerable grain has in many
instances been harvested.
"Prices are still SO high that ex-
porting is out of the question at pres
ent, and naturally we think prices
should come down, for it does not
seem reasonable that all our wheat
can be used in the domestic and Cali
fornia milling trade" said Mr.. Pat
tullo.
Old crop bluestem was quoted on the
Merchants Exchange at 81 cents. but
had there been any demand 1t is doubt
full whether or not much wheat could
have been purchased at that price.
New bluestem was quoted at 80 cents.

and the distinguished guests were
completed and before the exercises
the fleet sent ashore couple of thou
sand of it's sailors who formed along
the streets, from the wharf where the
President landed, to the grandstand.
The principal act Of the dedication
of the monument was the unwilling Of
a bronze tablet over the door facing
the harbOr, which was given by Presi
dent Emeritus Charles w. Eliot OF
Harvard The town clock was strik
ing nine when the Mayfower came
around the little white beacon at the
end of the long point and passed in
between the lines of battleships.

Eight of the great vessels were here
to greet the President, the Connecti

and President Taft Immediately wen,
on board the Connecticut, where he
received the commanding officers Of

ALIENS STAY ONLY BY
GOVERNMENT PERMISSION

United States District Judge Corne-
Illus H. Hanford at Seattle last week
upheld the constitutionality of the
amended federal immigration act pass
ed at the last session of congress and
ruled that all aliens engaged in i'm
moral occupations are subject to de-
portation regardless of the length of
time they have been residents of the
United States. In giving this decision
Judge Hanford denied the petition for
writ of habeas corpus made by Uni
Yosnida, a Japanese woman arrested
May 10 on a charge OF being an alien
engaged in an immoral occupation.
The woman's attorney maintained
that congress had exceeded its au-
thority in amending the immigration
act so as to remove the time limit dur
ing which aliens might be deported
and that the old law, which set limit
of three years, was still in force. Tine
Yoshida woman, it was set forth, has
lived in the United States six years
and she had been here three years
before she began an immoral life. She
sought refuge under the terms of the
three-year clause and demanded that
she be released.
In his decision Judge Hanford said
that all aliens reside here by permits.
sion of the government, and that con-
gress has power to expel them with or
without cause.
I'm the law of 1907 there was ter.
mination of the time in which aliens
might be arrested and deported," said
the court. 'The amendatory act OF
1910 has made a change whereby aliens
engaged in an immoral occupation, and
all connected with 1t, are subject to
deportation. The contention that the
three-year clause is still in effect is
not well taken. That clause was evi.
IDENTIFY SO. obnoxious to that law that
its force is removed by necessary i'm.
plication.''
