0lLLlNeHAM's JAP BILL
Drastic Exclusion Of orientals Pro
posed in His Measure.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Drastic ex-
clusion legislation running close TO
the delicate understanding between
the United States and Japan on the
subject is provided in the bill offered
by Senator Dillingham; OF Vermont,
Just reported to the Senate from the
committee on immigration. II pro-
yides for the exclusion Of the labor
ers and artisans OF races which are
not eligible TO American naturaliza-
ton. This means Japanese and
Chinese The Chinese already are
excluded by law Formerly they
were also excluded by treaty, but
with growing sense of nationality
this treaty was abrogated.
The Dillingham; bill. now favorably
reported, gives long list of persons
who shall not be admitted to the
United States. This concludes with:
Persons who are not eligible TO be-
come citizens of the United States
by naturalization"
II is then provided that this pro-
vision shall not apply to government
officers, ministers. or religious teach
ers. missionaries, lawyers, physicians
chemists, engineers, students. au-
thors, editors, journalists, merchants,
bankers, capitalists, and travellers
for curiosity or pleasure. The ma
turalization of Chinese Is specifically
forbidden by law. and naturalization
has never been granted to japanese
as n matter of domestic practice,
which the japanese never have Off
cially recognized.
The exemptions before noted cover
ed practically all persons except la
borers and artisans. II Japanese con
tinue to be denied naturalization 1t
will place the Japanese laborers in
much the same position that the
Chinese now occupy.
The bill provides for the exclusion
of "polygamists or persons who ad-
nit their belief in the practice OF
polygamy," with the exception of the
exempt classes named. This would
appear to operate to exclude Turkish
artisans and laborers and those oil
other Eastern races which recognize
polygamy. A far-reaching clause pro
vides for the exclusion Of anarchists
Still another forblds the admission
OF persons who have come In oonse
quence OF advertisements printed
published or distributed In a foreign
country. This is calculated to shut
OF the source OF labor supply OF
campaign for labor in southern Eu
rope.
Another section of the proposed
law provides that skilled labor may
be imported Il labor Of like kind
cannot be found In this country, and
that the necessity of such importa
ton shall in each instance be de
termined by the secretary OF com
merce and labor. A rigid education
test Is required.

ASKS FOR RECEIVER
SO That She Will Not Be Deprived Of
Her Annuity.

Rutland, Jan. 31.-Claiming that
through mismanagement the bust.
ness is being conducted so poorly
that she will be deprived Of her an
nuity, willed her by her husband,
Mrs. Olive A. Jones of Castleton, wi
dow of Robert w. Jones, has petition
ed the court of chancery for the APP
pOintment OF receiver for the East
ern Slate company OF Poultney. The
bill was flsa yesterday with County
CLERK r. A. Harmon MaEVelle G.
Weber Of this city and W. 2. c,
Stickney Of Bethel are attorneys for
the orator The defendants IN the
case are William r. Jones and Robert
]. Davis who lease and operate the
quarry property.
Mrs. Jones asserts that by pre-
nuptial agreement she was to receive
yearly such part of the income from
the Eastern Slate company business
as Mr. Jones interest in the concern
warranted, if she outlived her hus-
band. Mr., Jones, died several years
ago and under his will the widow
was decreed the annuity. She says
that she received some substantial
checks and then payments began to
drop off and finally ceased. The al
legation is that through lack OF
economy and inexperience the pres
ent managers are allowing the plant
to deteriorate, and that unwarranted
expenditures are about to be made to
install expensive electrical machin
cry.
1t is charged that Robert J. Davis
who is an invalid and away from
Poultney, is drawing a salary of 81,
500 year, and that William r. Jones
who is inexperienced, receives equa
compensation.
Mrs. Jones is 70 years of age She
claims that a few years ago she was
offered $4,000 for her interest in the
Eastern business and that the slate
property is of such extent that al
offer of 100000 for it was refused {
short time ago.

THE following question has re-
Gently lntruded itself three times

clans exist for the purpose of cur
ing the sick or for the purpose of
maintaining the doctrine of the
particular medical school to which
they have attached themselves.
"In order to indicate that this
question does not proceed from
any malice toward the profession
it might have been broadened out
to include also some members, at
least, of the school of theology,
and then the inquiry would have
been: Do theologians exist for
the sake of saving souls or for the
purpose of maintaining and per-
petuating the distinctive tenets of
their own theological school?

so situated that they catch the water
laden winds of the Caribbean and give IT
a heavy rainfall. At the same time they
shelter it from the winds and make 1t

This paradise was the Garden of Eden
of this nation a thousand years ago.
It's people were the Mayans. They con-
auered the Jungle and lived here no one
knows how long until in time they
were conquered by the wilder tribes, ana
the jungle again came into its own
The exact dates of these events are un-

years ago when the jungle again re-
sumed its sway, and from then until now
nature has reigned supreme. 1t Is only
during the past century that any one mas

road has been cut through to get to the
highlands and when the American frult
men have begun to cut down the trees
and make their banana plantations, that
any idea of the extent OF that clVliiza-
ton has come to be known.
In building the railroad, the grades cut
through a circular Indian mound as hgh
as a four-story house, and for forty miles
along the hills on one side OF the valley
were found graves with walls MADE OF
Cfo hrniIeyhf
creeks and the rivers. On the other SIDE
of the Motagua mounds of greater height
were discovered and in them pieces OF
pottery whistles of clay and the stone
utensils of various kinds. There were
also pieces of jade and ObSidlan.
1t is now known that the ruins are scat
tered over an area of about 3co VD acres,
and that they include not only these grave
MOUNDS, but mighty monuments and the
remains of a great city.
Our first knowledge of this city came
about seventy years ago. when the Ste
phens expedition went through Centra
America and a man named CatheTWooo
saw some of the ruins. We learned ore
about it in 1883, when Alfred +. Maudsley
made his way through this region and
photographed some of the monuments.
The real work of excavation, however
was begun just about two years ago
when the ST. Louis Society OF the Ar
theological Institute decided TO do some
work in Guatemala, and at the instance
of Victor NJ. Cutter. manager of the
Guatemala division of the United Fruit
Company. came to Quirigua and began
their work here. The United Fruit Com
pany has aided them in their, work
granting them seventy-tive acres of land
which contained the most important parts
of the ruined city, and forming what is u
be known as Quirigua Park.
1t is in that tract that the excavations
are now going on. They are under the
