Treasury Department May Prevent Landing
o( Chinese in Transit.
Washington, May 8. Tlio chlof jus
tico bf tlio United States supremo court
lias rendered opinions in two test cases
affecting the transit of Chinamen
through tho United States to other
countries, sustaining tho govrenmentnl
nmuthoritios having thorn detained at
San Francisco. Tliero aro said to bo
40 or 50 Chinamon who havo boon thus
detained in San Frnncicso for tlio past
four or flvo months, nnd who have been
vory restless under tho restraint. Tlio
result of thu decision will bo tho de
portation to China of tho Chineso de
tained. Two Chinamen woro on tlioir way to
Mexico nnd claimed the right undor
tho treaty of 18J4 to transit, ono desir
ing to go by rail, and the other merely
to trans-ship. They woro denied thiH
right under tho provision of tlio treaty
giving tlio treasury department author
ity to make regulations for control in
such matters. Tho federal authorities:
discovreed evidence in both casos, as in
those of their detained cnuutrymou,
that the passengers did not Intend to
remain in Mexico. Tho prlsonors
sought release by habeas corptiH pro
ceedings, their petitions being denied
by tho district court for tlio Northern
District of Cnllfomia. In Ills opinion,
the chief justice said:
"Congressional action has placed
tho final determination of the right of
admission of Chineso in executive offi
cials without judicial intervention, nnd
tliis has been for many yuarH thu recog
nized nnd declared policy of the coun
try. Tlio regulations to prevent tho
abuse of thu privilege of transit havo
leun nnd aro intended to effectuate tho
sumo policy and recourse to thu courts)
by habeas corpus to determine tho ex
istence of such abuse. Thu record does
not present a case of regulation or ac
tion in contravention with tlio Consti
tution, and we think that upon tho ad
mission of facts tho orders of the col
lector cannot bo hold to have been in
valid." Justices Brower nnd Peckham dis
sented. FAVOR OLEOMARGARINE.
Live Slock Aiioclatlon Makes Representations
to the President on 'Pending Bills.
Washington, May 8. William M.
Springer,, representing . thu National
Livestock association, called on Presi
dent Roosevelt and presented to him n
tolcurnm from thu president of tlio as
sociation, stating that tho passage of
the oleomargarine bill, tho effort to
enact tho Grosvenor nutl-shoddy bill,
and thu government's action against
thu beef trust, all aru producing heavy
losses to livestock producers of tho
United States. Tho president is urged
to give immediate consideration to
these matters. Mr. Springer explained
that he did not know how tho livestock
association stood with reference to the
government's suit against the beef
trust, but he was confident that what
it most desired was prompt action that
tlio cattle raisers of tho country may bo
relieved from thu uncertainty of tho
present situation. Mr. Springer, on
behalf of tho association, inuduuu ar
gument to the president to show that
tho oleomargarine bill should not re
ceive executlvo approval.
