CHINESE BY TUNNEL LAWFUL
Novel Defense Is offered by Two
Smusslers in District Fed
eral Court.

Kansas City. MO.-A novel defense
was offered in the federal court in
Kansas City, Kan, by LOrne Stone
berg and Edward Hook. who filed ha-
beaS corpus proceedings to obtain their
release from the federal penitentiary,
where they were sent on a charge OF
bringing a Chinese into the United
States.
To evade the federal statute. which
says Chinese must not be brought int0
the country ''by land or by water"
they brought Nah Chong. alias Nah
Gwon Wy. through a tunnel under the
Detroit river, To Detroit, from Wind
sor Can. After hearing this defense.
Judge Pollock took the matter under
adviSement.
The men were fined $1,000 each and
sentenced IT, two years in prison, IA

eminent control is likely to be ex-
erclsed for q long time over foreign
purchases, it is plain why prominent
copper men have lately gone on res
ord with predictions that 30-cent metal
will go by the board when the war
ends. If production is to be main
tanned at a high level, prices will be
called upon ID bear the brunt of the
postwar reaction. There are produc-
ers who feel that the American out
put will sag back within Il year or
two after the conflict is over to where
it was in 1913; others are persuaded
that it will not again fall so far un-
less something happens to injure bust
ness all over the world. There are
producers who look forward to 15-cent
copper after the war demand has been
cleared away, while others think that
quotations will not drop under 20
cents. A great deal as regards both
production and prices, it is said in the
trade, depends upon legislation, which
will permit American exporters to CO.
operate III sales abroad.
1916 Prices Break All Records.
The average price Of copper in 1916
was 27.2O2 cents Il pound, according to
the records of the Engineering and
Mining Journal, compared with 1928
cents the year before. December
brought the highest average for any
month, with prlce of 1880 cents,
while in November the average quo
tatiOn was 30625 cents. The prices
of 1916 were never approached in any
other year in the history of the indus-
try.
Spelter was sold at an average quo
tation of 12S04 cents pound, against
1892 cents in 1915, slump in the
middle of the year working to keep
the average under that of the preccd-
ing II months. Lead, on the other
hand, sold at 6.0JS cents, compared
with 1873 cents in 1915 and in De
.,ember the average price for the
month was 80 cents.

MUTE LAND SUIT
A LEGAL PUZZLE
Defense Says Woman, For Whom
Suit is Brought, Opposes
Ii.

The suit of the relatives Of Miss
Martha Wills, deaf mute, to compel
William p. Willis to transfer a deed
to 100 acres of land back to Miss
Wills, has raised some unique legal
points. The case, which was conclud-
ed in the Circuit Court at jackson yes
terday, was taken under Amusement
by Judge Kelly.
The suit was filed by the deaf
mute's brother, r. A. Wills, who is
acting as her next friend. Senator
Lane, who represents w. p. Wills, the
defendant, is combating the case on
the grounds that Miss Wills does not
approve of the suit. He injected some
legal knots into the case yesterday.
which are the hinge upon which the
courts decision will hang, he bclieves.
Under a ruling OF the Supreme
Court, the next friend cannot institute
suit unless the action is brought in
behalf of a minor. This decision de
mands the dismissal of the Wills suit.
the lawyer contends, because Miss
Wills is over so years of age.
In the petition, asking the court to
return to Miss Wills the land she
transferred to w. p. Wills, her cousin.
it is alleged that she is not capable 81
taking care of her own affairs, and
because of her defects, she had given
up her property.
The defense contended that she is of
sound mind and that when she trans
ferred the property, she acted with
voluntarily and willful knowledge
that she was disposing of her proper
ty Senator Lane contends that she
cannot be considered non compos men
It's (meaning of unsound mind) UNI
less she had been so declared legally.
Attorney Lane asserted that in the
absence of a courts record, declaring
Miss Wills to be without reason, and
in view of testimony that she possess
ed a sound mind, the suit was not
valid.
Attorneys Hays and Hays and Hines
and Hines, representing the plaintiff
presented the court with decisions, sus-
tanning theil action and overriding
Senator Lanes contentious. Judge
Kelly, in order to give the arguments
of both sides due consideration. ar
nounced that he would give his deci-
sion at later date.
1t was stated during the trial that
w. P. Wills agreed to provide for Miss
Wills during her lifetime in return for
the 100 acres of land, which had beer
lett her by her father.
