CAMINET
REPORT ON
IMMIGRATION

Washington, Feb. 16.-Commission-
er General Caminetti OF the bureau Of
immigration in his first anuaT report,
submitted to Secretary Wilson, rec
commended certain notifications Of the
Chinese exclusion act, and expressed
the opinion that great care should be
taken with the seamen's bill pending
in congress, declaring that ''the sea-
mans bill on the one hand and the
laws on the other cannot be properly
enforced unless their terms are
brought into substantial and practical
accord
Commissioner Caminetti made no
reference to the general question OF
Asiatic immigration, other than COM
ment on "alens employed on vessels
and what he says is the danger of
Chinese and other Asiatics getting in
unlawfully by serving as seamen and
deserting.
AS to Japanese immigration, he ex-
presses doubt as to whether the 'spho-
tograph'' brides. after having gone
through a marriage ceremony by
proxy. recognized as legal in Japan,
are really entitled to admission. He
says he does not believe "any such
marriage is binding upon the United
states in the administration of irnnni-
grafton laws; and also that there is
no treaty with Japan. or other ar
rangement whatsoever, that provides
| for the recognition by the United
States OF the so-called marriage Of a
woman in Japan with man who may
be in the United States at the alleged
date OF the same He says there

CASE OF
PERU IS
DIFFERENT

Washington, Feb. 16.-Recognition
by the United States of the present ad-
in Peru as provisional
government is in conformity with the
Latin-American policy of the Wash
ington government as announced a.
year ago, in the view of the president,
as set forth to callers. Wilson regards
the circumstances in Peru as distinct
1y different from those which cause the
United States to withhold recognition
from the Huerta government in Mexi-
CO.
The president let it. be known that
the process of setting up q new pro-
Visional government in Peru is consti~
tutional in every way. according to Of
fetal reports. Wilson added that Pres
ident Billinghurst abrogated the con-
gress of Peru, himself discharging the
duties of the presidents office uncon-
stitutionally. Also the congress OF
Peru, the supreme court and all the
constitutional authorities had approx
ed Of the overthrow Of Billinghurst, so
that the president believes d clear con-
Stitutional process Is involved. Even
the show Of force was with the approv-
al Of the Peruvian congress.

ton Of the resolution by Commissioner
Stern, went on record with the state
ment contained in the following extract
from the official record of the commits
sion's morning session: -
president Emery stated that he
wished to go on record as follows:
"I have carefully reviewed the tes-
timony of all Of the nineteen witnesses
and am Of the opinion that Chief Bing-
ham, while trying to preserve peace.
exceeded his authority in recognizing
the chairman Of the auditorium COM
mittee when J. M. Anderson requested
10 minutes in which to complete his
|dence warrants the removal Of said
Chief Bingham as demanded in the
petition
BIakemore's Resolution.
Commissioner Blakemore first offer
ed a long resolution covering several
|typewritten pages which virtually con-
tanned the same sentiment as the ex-
PLANTATION Of his vote. that he did not
feel the evidence was sufficient to
warrant Chief Bingham's dismissal
from office but that he did feel the
chief should be reprimanded and that
the city commission apologize to. the
torium on the night of Jan. %, when
the riot occurred between the Equity
cooperative exchange and the Min
neapolis Chamber of Commerce repre-
sentatives.
No action was taken on this resolu-
ton, whatever. Mr.. Blakemores reso-
luton stated that the first covert act
toward disturbance Of such peaceable
and orderly assembly was by words
and acts of the said private citizen,
Walter w. Smith"
City Attorney Smith informed the
commissioner that the commission
was not asked to investigate who
started the trouble, but to investigate
the charge that Chief Bingham had
failed to keep the peace and assaulted
J. M. Anderson.
Immediately following Commission
er Stern offered his resolution which
prevailed.
