EvADING REGULATIONS

For a long time the Angel island
authorities. under Commissioner of
immi grafton Samuel Baccus, had been
deporting Hindus as fast as they ar
rived on the grounds of disease. La
bility of becoming public charges and
such reasons.
When the Hindus decided to take a
chance on beating the immigration
laws by going first to the Philippines,
1t looked for a time as II the regu-
lations would be evaded for certain.
Although the immigration laws are
just the same in the American insular
possessions, the administration of
them has been in the hands OF army
officers not as well versed in the i'm
migration system as the regular Of
ficials.
Consequently the Hindus found 1t
comparatively easy to get into the
Philippines through the leniency OF
army officers. and then sail for the
Pacific coast
On arrival here they declared they
were already admitted to the United
States and could not be touched.
WARRANTS ISSUED
To check this, the heads OF the i'm
migration service in Washington or
dered that warrants be issued for the
deportation OF these Asians on the
ground that they would probably be
subject to public care
The same situation prevailed in
Seattle as in San Francisco. Yester-
day United States District Judge
Neterer of Washington handed down
a decision In one of these cases. de-
claring that the court had no juris-
diction and that the matter belonged
in the hands OF the department of
labor.

not yet finished making up the rec
ords of the 81 Hindus arrested here.

BANKERS REFUSE LOAN
NEW YORK. Sept 12.-American
bankers have decided to stop lending
money to Mexico. J. p. Morgan said
today:
I'm view of the neutrality edict of
this government which prevents the
sending of arms and munitions Of
war to Mexico, would most certainly
regard the loaning of money to
Mexico as prohibited"
These views were echoed by other
leading bankers
Wall street heard today that Senior
Zamacona, confidential agent of
President Huerta, was in town to ne
gotiate a Mexican loan. but investiga-
tion failed to show that he had visited
any of the leading bankers.
Considerable significance was at
tached to the statement made by
Mr.. Morgan, in view of the fact that
his firm and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. par
ticipated with European bankers in
the s30.000.000 loan recently made
to Mexico.
The attitude taken by the Amer
lean bankers will now force Mexico
to seek financial assistance in Europe.
