CHINESE IN PANAMA
CLOSE THEIR STORES
Protest Is Made Against the Payment
to the Government Of a New
Registration Fee

Panama, Nov. 1.-THE Chinese ques.
ton assumed serious turn in the re-
public of Panama today. All the Chi
nese merchants, wholesale and retail, in
this city, in Colon and at points in the
interior, numbering more than 1900,
acting according to a prearranged plan,
closed their places of business.
The demonstration was an effort to
compel the Panama government to re-
eede from its program relative to the
new registration law. This law compels
Chinese to take out new certificates of
registration and pay an additional fee
or render themselves liable to deporta-
ton.
The closing of the small stores has
already entaisd considerable hardship
on the poorer classes, to whom the Chi
nese sell butter, lard, rice and other
articles IN small quantities valued as
low as 2 II cents, a trade American
merchants do not care to handle, If the
laundrles are not reOpened within a rea-
sOnable time, the police have been au-
thOriZed to take action.
The Panama government announced its
decision to stand firm. Orders were
issued to all provincial governors to pro-
coed with the arrest of Chinese not COM
plying with the registration law before
November %. The Chinese shopkeepers
in the canal zone have not been affected.
