Washington.-The Haitien revolu-
ton, headed by Davilar Theodore, an
exiled senator recently driven into
Santo Domingo, has reached such pro-
portions as to command the serious at
tention of the State Department The
success of a movement of this kind
might be regarded as direct chal-
lenge to the administration policy of
disapproval of the erection of govern
ments by force and without reference
to the forms of constitution.
Secretary Bryan has already con-
suited with President Wilson, and with
BoaZ W. Long, chief of the Latin
American Bureau of the State Depart
ment, as to Haitien affairs.
News was received at the State De-
partment from the American Legation
at Port au Prince that at Cape Haitien,
threatened by the rebels, the citizens
have formed committee of public
safety, removed customs officials and
placed a commission in charge.
Although no treaty exists, as in the
case OF Santo Domingo, which clothes
the United States government with au-
thority over the customs houses, it is
understood that ample authority for
taking over Haitien custom houses out
of control of the national government
has been proffered through Ulrich
Duvivier, resident Haitien minister
here.
The naval force available is believed
to be quite sufficient for the purpose,
as the cruiser Montana, now at Port
all Prince has complement of $50
men, including company of marines,
the Petrol, now at Santo Domingo city
but within easy reach of Haitien
waters, has a crew of 120 bluejackets
and the gunboat Nashville at Cape
Haitien carries 225 men.

HINDU INVASION
GREATLY FEARED
Secretary Wilson Would Close
the Doors to Them.
INFLUX BECOMES ALARMING
Injury To the Laborng Men On the
Pacific Coast and the Possible
Extension OF Their Activities
To the Southern States.

ngton.-Secretary Wilson. Of
the Department of Labor, suggested to
Congress that the doors of the United
States be closed hereafter to the Hindu
laborer. Injury to labor conditions on
the Pacific Coast of the United States
through an already unaccountable in.
flux of Hindus and possible extension
to the Southern States were the rea-
sons given by Mr. Wilson for urging
their immediate exclusion.
The Secretary's views were ex.
pressed in letter to Speaker Clark in
response to request from Chairman
Burnett, of the House immigration
Committee, for information on pending
bills. While the Secretary did not dis
cuss with President Wilson the ques-
wrote, he said, after Commissioner
General Caminetti, of the immigration
Bureau, had consulted John Bassett
More and learned that no treaty
would be violated if the recommends
lions were carried out.
The Secretary suggested that the
term "Asiatic laborer" be defined as
including all aliens east of certain
boundary line, except those-such as
Japanese or Chinese-whOse immigra-
ton already is regulated by agree
ments or understanding between the
United States and the governments in
the Far East.
Suggests Army Test
To solve the problem of Asiatic i'm
migration not covered by existing re-
strictions, Mr. Wilson proposed that a
physical test, such as is required for
recruits to the United States Army be
administered before any Asiatic labor
ers, as the term is to be defined, are
admitted. Physically defective aliens
from Persia, Turkistan, Afghanistan.
Siam and other Asiatic countries could
thereby be prevented from entering
into competition with American labor
without violating any treaties, Mr.. Will
son believes, as there would be no
discrimination against any particular
country. He suggested also that per-
haps all immigrants intending to do
manual labor might well be subjected
to a physical test, but did not develop
this point in his letter other than in
reference to Asiatics.
Secretary Wilson says that con-
certed movement exists in India and
elsewhere to gain admission to the
United States; that Canada has legis-
lated even in more drastic manner
than is proposed in bills now pending
in Congress, and that if the Hindu
movement is not checked by legisla-
ton not only California and the West
will be affected, "as climatic and in
dustrial conditions, in the Southern
States and other sections of the Union
offer an extensive field for a people
who can come in practically unlimited
numbers if, by failure to do as Canada
and other British colonies have done,
they are tacitly invited"

There, might be greater interest in
the Oyster Bay plan to make war upon

in one paragraph of the colonel's de-

In the River of Doubt? ?

New York World: No uproarious
progressive is going to thrive greatly
upon the mental nourishment left by
Col. Roosevelt on his departure for
Spain. To the members of the Old
Guard who had hoped that by the fe-
rocity of his assault upon the Wilson
administration he would suggest a
common ground for party reunion it
must appear to be a starvation diet.
Intent upon a campaign of calamity,
how can republican of any stripe be
satisfied with the remark: There Is
widespread apprehension among our
people?" Whose hunger is to be ap-
peased by the assertion that "the cost
of living has not been reduced. Is
there q standpat or Bull Moose appe-
tite anywhere that can find anything
properly filling in the sentences, "No
progress has been made in solving the
trust question and Tariff reduction
has not helped?"
When was apprehension more wide
spread among our people than in 1907
when the Roosevelt panic was in
progress, when most of the banks re-
fused payments, when the longest
bread lines ever seen were forming
day and night, and when 100000 men
were out Of work?
When was it that the high cost OF
living first began to pinch if not dur

The Free Love Hazard.

Louisville Courier Journal: A life
insurance company has resisted pay
ment Of a policy upon the life or
California man who was shot by a
woman with whom he maintained IL
licit relations. The contention upon
which refusal of payment is based is
that when the policy was written the
buyer said in answer to questlon
that he was not engaged in any haz-
ardous occupation. He was at the
time the affinity" of the woman. She
subsequently killed him and was ac-
quilted when arraigned for murder.
1t Is argued that such relations so
commonly lead to acts of violence up
on the part of one or the other parties
that murder is a not uncommon nnal
result Of the situation created by a
| liaison. 1t Is, therefore, an act OF
fraud upon the part of an applicant
for life insurance who Is engaged In an

occupation as it would be answered

Although the American defenders made
a desperate last ditch stand they were
not quite aqual to winning and thus
forced the challengers into third and
deciding contest. Their thrilling
rushes both individually and as a team
in the closing minutes of the strug-
gle aroused the 100000 spectators to a
frenzy, however, and no previous in
ternational polo struggle ever closed
under such tense and exciting con-
ditions.
When the eighth and final period
opened the American four was lead
ing by fraction of a POINT, but de-
spite their desperate efforts they could
not quite hold the advantage. Each
team scored a goal in this period, but
the defenders in their anxiety to
clinch the victory transgressed the
rules by sharp crossing and were pen
allied for fouling And so it came
about that just as the sun sank Cap

result Of the defeat, the members Of

knew last night that Americans can
still play the game, even though the
