no STOP DESERTION
OF CHINESE SEAMEN

NEW YORK, May 29.-Com-
missioner Robert E. Todd has
amended the immigration regula-
tions in an effort to stop the de-
sertion of Chinese seamen in
American ports. Effective Jpne
is, every ship must keep Chinese
members Of it's crew aboard or
file a bond of $500 that each
Chinese will not desert and thus
enter the United States in viola
ton Of the laws.
The new amendment is expect
ed to come into conflict with the
LaFollette seamens act designed
to raise alien seamen's wages to
American levels by specifically
permitting all alein seamen to de-
sert their ships in American ports.
It is charged that Chinese outside
the country even pay for the
privilege of signing on ships com
ing to American ports so they can
more easily gain unlawful entry
into the country.

timore & Ohio Railroad Co.'S right:
of-way and spent the greater part
Of the day near the mine tlpple.
Different stories are told about
the men, one being that the men
at the mines were afraid to come
to work today when they found the
large delegation of men near the
mine and the other being that rep
resentatives OF the union hao OF
ganized the employees of the mine
last night and that was the cause
Of the mine being idle today.
Prosecuting Attorney Frank r.
Amos and Sheriff James D. Charl-
ton took charge of the situation
early this morning, and repre-
sentative of the sheriff's force went
out and reviewed the situation. La
ter in the morning, Prosecuting At
torney Amos went out to the
scene. Upon his return, Mr.. Amos
said that about $50 men were Sit
ting on the railroad track near the
mine tipple, but that all were good
natured and were not bother1ng
the property Of the coal company
The representative of the sher-
ifs force. who first visited the
scene, said he feared trouble short
ly after he arrived as man on the
tipple of the mine was abusing the
men on the track and the men on
the track were retaliating. He de-
manded the main on the tipple to
keep quiet and also instructed the
men on the track that they must
not interfere with the men on the
t;pple or bother the property OF the
company.
owners of the mine had the su
perintendent and four or five men
stationed at the tipple all day TO
guard the property. The sherln
preventative made a close lnVes-
tigation for any signs of trouble or
any fire arms Of any kind but SAID
that there were no visible signs OF
Imminent trouble from either side
A. report from that section short
" after noon was to the erect that
the men had deserted their tenn
porary camp on the railroad tracks
shortly after noon. 1t was not
learned whether the men had Just
returned to their homes Tor lunch
and would return again later N the
day. or whether they had abandon
ed their plan of picketing the mine
1t was reported at 2 o'clock that
the railroad company was making
arrangement to send number OF
their officers out to clear the men
off the company's right-of-way and
tracks, but it was not learned
whether they sent any men out OF
not.
Still later in the afternoon, The
West virginian was advised BY
telephone that the miners at the
Betty mine had been organized.

Dallas D. Leonard, city electrical
inspector, was named in charges
brought. According to Mr.. Everest
numerous instances have come to
his attention where houses have
been approved, as inspected when,
in reality the inspector had no
means of ingress to the house and
could not have performed his duly.
Mr.. Everest cited three. spectre
instances, and said:
"In two of these cases. the house
was locked end is still locked. Hs
could not possibly have done any
inspecting for I had the keys all
the time and still have them-in
my pocket here In the other casS,
the wo-k was as poorly done as
any Job have ever seen. In fac-
was called in nthe job and hau
to do the whole thing over again. :.
Yet the inspector passed the work
as okeh and hung his tag on the
outside wire ends"
Mr.. Watkins concurred with Nh
Everest in his statement that con-
ditions were bad and should be
changed. Mr.. Mumford presNated
one specific instance, corroboratins
the statement of Mr.. Everest.

not the case at present. II the in

A change in the charge for in
