Need of Quick Attention

BackaChe is enough cause to suspect the kidneys. The
kidneys are in the small of the back. Congested kidneys swell
and throb. The back naturally aches. 1t hurts to bend or
stoop or to sit down.
Kidney trouble may come on all unnoticed. A cold, a
chill, a fever, a strain or irregular habits may start it, While
kidneys can be cured in the beginning, it is a serious
matter when dropsy, gravel or Brights disease sets in:

SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST THE CHINESE

San Diego Union: A decision in
the famous Wong You case handed
down by the United States supreme
court yesterday is believed to have de
prived the Chinese smugglers of their
last opportunity to avoid deportation
for their charges found in this coun-
try. The decision means the simpli-
lying OF the work of the immigration
officers of San Diego and vicinity who
are elated over finding that gives
them sole power to arrest, try and
deport smuggled coolies without an
appeal to the courts being permitted
Inc decision also confirms the conten-
ton Of immigration officers through
out the United States that they could
proceed against Chinese under the gen
eral immigration laws affecting all ma
tions, instead of being circumscribed
by the limiting provisions of the Chi.
nese exclusion act.
The message from Washington reads
that the Chinese, like other aliens
might be deported by order of the sec
retary OF the department of commerce
and labor, and that they should not
be entitled to have a judicial deter
mination first, under the Chinese eX.
cluslon act. of their rights to remain
in the country
According to Deputy Immigration
Commission H. Edsell of San Fran
cisco, the ruling does not affect the

ner through any of the ports of the
United States, but it is directed to
the deportation proceedings against
Chinese who have been brought into
the country illegally or who have
turned out INDECENT or have proved
to be of dangerous character.
The proceedings in the past for the
deportation of a contraband, insane,
pauper or criminal insane has been
for the immigration inspectors to ar
rest the suspect, investigate the
charges against him and recommend
his deportation to the secretary of
commerce and labor. This action was
in accord with the general immigra-
ton laws and followed the procedure G
against other aliens. In the mean
time the attorneys for the accused
man have been able to cite the Chi
nese exclusion act as pretext for a
petition in the United States district
court for a writ of habeas corpus, and
the result usually has been the free
ing of the prisoner
The supreme court decision gives
the immigration officials arbitrary
power to arrest, try and recommend
for deportation of a proved illegal en-
trant The only appeal possible is
where the attorneys for the accused
can show that the immigration in
spectors were actuated by bias or
fraud.
The Wong You case originated on
the Canadian border of Northern New
York state, when Wong You and four
others were seized by immigration in
spectors and Secretary Nagel ordered
their expulsion.
The case was tried before Federal

 Nicholas Lamont, who is the hus- band of Annabelle Robinson, was be- fore police court Tuesday morning charged with breach of the peace. La monu was arrested Monday night about 10.30 o'clock by Officer Thomas Grady on complaint of his mother in-law, for making an unnecessary disturbance at her home
 Annabelle was in court and testi- aed that she and her husband at tended the moving pictures Monday evening and then went over the river for a walk. Her husband wanted her 10 go down 10 the spring, she was tired and she refused 10 go. They went home and her husband was very an gry. A few words led to others and he threatened to kill her Lamont broke the glass in the door, swore at her and then she screamed and her mother called the police.
 Mrs. Robinson. Annabelle's mother, testified that her son-in-law had been drinking for about a fortnight and had been causing much trouble at the house. She said she did not want him there any more as he had threatened to kill Annabelle if she attempted to cause him any trouble,
 In his own behalf Lamonti testified that Annabelle had taken his money and bank book. Some words followed and he was ordered out of the house ny his mother -in-law. This made him a bit angry and he had pushed the door quite hard and the glass broke as a result.
 Deputy Judge James A. Shea. who was on the bench found the accused guilty and imposed a fine of S5 and costs amounting 10 S1220. Annabelle was ordered to bring Lamontis bank book 10 him which she did and the nne and costs were paid

One J. H., no more of his name need be given here, for he is now among those sleeping the last sleep, was arrested in Putnam one morning. It was a morning after he had indulged in a cemetery episode He had spent the night in the tomb at a Putnam cem- etery and here is what he had to say to the officer who took him:
 "1 just strolled out here, found the doors of the tomb open--to air it out, I suppose, and went in. l lighted my pipe to fumigate the place and then lay down to sleep. I had very peaceful night, for not a bothersome soul came along to disturb me in my slumbers. I had a good nights rest, thank you. Now you can lock me up if you, want to-

DANIELSON
Voters Suspect Something in the Woodpile in Opera Chair Project for Town HaIl-Annual Meeting of Saw inss Bank-1oo Degrees Tuesday Social and Personal Items.

The following petition was being cir culated Tuesday by William S. Brown:
 To the Selectmen of the Town of Killingly: The undersigned inhabit- ants of the town of Killingly and qual- flied to vote in town meeting, hereby make application and request that a special town meeting be convened for the following purposes:
 Will the town vote to instruct the selectmen to make no contract for pro- viding the town hall with opera chairs
 Will the town vote to instruct the selectmen to rescind and cancel any contract that may have been made to furnish and provide opera chairs or other chairs for the town hall?
 Will the town vote to instruct the selectmen to make no contract for any repairs or furnishings for tine town hall until authorized to make such contract by the town in a meeting called for that purpose.
 The petition is signed by Judge Mil ton A. Shumway, Representative Frank P. Warren, John A. Paine Frederick A. Jacobs, w. A, Johnson, c. A. Young, F. E. Bitgood, Gordon A. Johnstone, Dr. Rienzi Robinson, E. w. Scott, Jr, Kent A. Darbie, H. E. Anderson, B. c. Hop kins, l. D. Martin. Rowland R. James, George E, Paine, W. J. Craig, A H. Huntington. Everett Hyde. s. Daniel son, Charles E. Austin, c. A. Potter, A. E. Wilmington, l.. J. Morin, George 1. Eaton, William H. Sayles, A. E. Meeeh. Joseph Farron. Percy Bliven, John W. Gallup. and others.
 The petition is inspired by opposition to what is looked upon as a plan to equip the town hall for theatrical use in competition with tax-paying theater properties and from the standpoint of economy in town expenditures.
 First Selectman John A. Gilbert said Tuesday that the seleetmen had enter ed into a contract for what are com monly known as opera chairs. These, he said, are to be had at cost of about S500 for the number that will be need ed. The present settees can be dispos- ed of at 40 cents foot, so that the net cost of making the change would be about $350. MT. Gilbert said that while the suggestion that the change be made came from a selectman who is not a resident of the borough, he believed it a good plan to have the chairs. The present seats are clumsy and difficult to move about, and when it becomes necessary to clear the hall of them there is small opDoTsunIty to pack them so that they are not in the way.

STEPHEN BARTLETT. 70,
 CUTS THROAT WITH CAsENNIFE,
East KiIlinsly Man Had Been at the Baekus Hospital for Removal of Cataract-Feared Blindness.

Stephen Bartlett, 70, committed sui eide Tuesday evening at East Kiilingly He cut his throat from ear to ear with an old caseknife which he had sharp ened until it was like a razor.
 The body was found in a shed in the rear of the tenement which he oceu- pied in the Whitestone village. He was last seen alive about 4 o'clock.
 The old man had been very despon- dent for several weeks and has talked of committing suicide. He was at the Backus hospital, Norwich, during Feb ruary and March for the removal of a cataract from his eye: but continuing to fear blindness and dreading to be sent to the poor farm, may have caused him to take his life. It is also believed that he was affected by the intense heat.
 ETe has no relatives except several stepdaughters in Putnam. A house keeper has been doing the work at his home. The body was brought to Dan- ielson.
