LA CROSSE MAN IS
HELD FOR FORGERY
Claims He Is Innocent But Will
Return to Set Things
Right.

Chief OF Police Charles Downing
arrested James J. Coleman, who was
wanted at La Crosse. Wis, on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretense. The information
charges Coleman with having forged
check for $65 and later skipped out
for the northwest. In checking his
trunk through to Bismarck he left a
clue whereby the officials at La
Crosse succeeded in obtaining trace
of the man wanted. Writing immed-
lately to the chief of police, Downing,
giving a description of the man and
mailing it SO that it arrived here
nearly as soon as the alleged forger.
Acting upon this information Down
ing began search of the down town
hOstelries and found his man sitting
in the lobby of the Mckenzie hotel,
where the arrest was made.
Will Return to La Crosse.
And Coleman says there must be
some mistake and that he is willing
to return to La Crosse to prove his
innocence without the officials hav-
ing to secure extradition papers. He
says further the check must have
been written by his brother, whom he
has not seen for three years. Off
GERS from La Crosse are on their way
to Bismarck to get Coleman.

PERSIA SINKING
STILL A MYSTERY
Both Germany and Austria Dis.
claim Culpability Of Their
Submarines.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The state de-
partment virtually has abandoned
hope Of determining what destroyed
the British steamship, Persia, sunk in
the Mediterranean with the loss OF
two American lives.
Austro Hungary and Germany
have disclaimed responsibility for the
disaster and affidavits of survivors
being inconclusive, but one avenue OF
information remains open. This is
through the British government,
which had in it's possession affidavits
of members Of the crew.
The opinion prevails, however, that
if conclusive proof that the Persia
was torpedoed was contained in the
afidavits mention Of the fact would
have been made before this time by
the British government.

Jap LABOR
immigration Bill Proposes Strin'
gent Rules on immigration
of Asiatics.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Drastic re
strictions would be thrown about the
immigration of the Japanese to the
United States, and both Hindus and
Chinese virtually would be barred
from the country by a provision that
has been written into the immigra
ton bill to be reported to the house
next week by the committee.
The new features relating to imml
grants from Japan would have theil
most far-reaching effect is the ex
pectation of committee members in
shutting off effectually the influx OF
japanese laborers, whose competition
with American labor on the Pacific
coast has aroused a pronounced anti
Asiatic sentiment.
AS agreed upon tentatively by the
committee, the exclusion section OF
the bill includes a paragraph barring
"Hindus and all persons of the Mon
golian or yellow Race, and the Ma
lay or Brown Race Before a re-
port is made to the house, however,
proposed qualification probably will
be added, providing that there shall
be such exemptions as may be set
forth in any existing agreement as to
passports or by treaties, conventions
or agreements that may hereafter be
entered into.
Exclusion of Chinese and Japanese
students, business men, travellers and
certain other excepted classes is not
anticipated by members Of the COM
