THE HORNING OBEGONIAJT, TUESDAY, APKUL 17, 1906. 5 SOURCE OF FRAUDS Chinese Minister Defends the Chinese Officials. DENBY'S QUICK REJOINDER Charge That Certificate Frauds Are Committed by Chinese Officials Causes Controversy Between Prominent Men. MINISTER VIOLATES ETIQUETTE WASHINGTON. April 16. (Spe cial.) The Chln Minister, Sir Clitnlunc Liang Cheng, may have to lav tbl country. He ha com mitted a grave breach of etiquette, in commenting upon matter pend ing before the lawmaking body of the Nation to which, he ii accred ited. He In doing all he can to allay the excitement. He has conferred with the Secretary of State, and everything is being done In an of ficial -way to gloze over the diplo matic indiscretion. But Pacific Co&at member of the Houe, who are alarmed over what they ttm the pulling down of the exclusion law, are talking of bring ing the matter before the House, and some of them want trouble. WASHINGTON, April 17. Sir Chen; tung Liang; Chens, the Chinese Minis ter, has taken Issue with Representa tive Denby on the question of the re sponsibility for the issuance of fraudu lent certificates of admission to the t'nlted States. Mr. Denby stated to the House committee on foreign affair, during the hearings on the Foster .bill, amending: the exclusion act, that the fact that so many of those certificates were found to be fraudulent was pretty fair evidence of fraud by the Chinese officials. To this charge the Chinese Minister has replied in a letter which has been made a part of the record in these hearings. Minister Finds Discrepancy. During the three years he has been in charge of the Legation here, the minister says, he has a record of every certificate that has been issued in the Provinces of Hwang Tung or Fuklen to Chinese subjects departing for the t'nlted States, the Philippines" or Ha waii: that the emigration from all otner provinces is insignificant," mid that 527 certificates represent the total number issued. However, ho says the figures of the immigration for these three years show the total number of appli cants for admission bearing certificates numbers 6503. The number bearing cer tificates from the Chinese government, he says, is but S per cent of the total number seeking admission. "Where did the 92 per cent get their certificates?" ho asks, and then pro ceeds to answer the question by stat ing that under the regulations of tho Immigration Service officials in the fol lowing cities and countries arc per mitted to issue thse certificates: Van couver, Victoria, New "Westminster, Ottawa, Cuba, Gcrmnn protectorate of Klautchou, Guatemala, Hawaii. Hong kong. Japan, Hokkaido, Formosa, Mex-, Ico, Philippine Islands, Portuguese province of Macao. Society Islands. Straltj Settlement, Trinidad and Ven ezuela. The Minister then comments as follows: Frauds in Foreign Countries. None of theso offices has been author ized by the Chinese government to issue the required certificates, and none is sub ject to the control of the Chinese govern ment. When Mr. Denby says that China is the most flagrantly guilty party in this matter, does he mean that the above namid countries are parts of the Chinese empire, and therefore, the officers of these countries are Chinese officials? Minitor Cheng says that during the three years of his ambassadorship to this country not one caso of issuance of fraudulent certificates by Chinese officials has been brought officially to his notice,, and the inference, he ays. is therefore plain that Chinese officials can not be blamed for frauds of this kind. He continues: Consequently. I consider the intimation of Mr. Denby that, but for the vigilance of the Immigration officers, there would have been "a traffic in bringing in illegal Chinese, which would have enriched thou sands of officials, and our country would have been overrun with them as If there had been no exclusion law." as an emana tion from a fertile Imagination rather than a trustworthy Judgmpnt founded on cold facts. Denby Makes Prompt Reply. Mr. Denby made this statement tonight: It was to have been expected that His Excellency would not admit that the Chi nese officials have been guilty of fraud, because he is the Chinese Minister. My statements were based on facts and fair inference. Every assertion can be easily proved. The Minister's statement Is pain fully, though. I hope. unlntentlonalU. misleading. The records of the Bureau of Immigration show conclusively that dur ing the period referred to KG applicants bearing certificates Issued in China bv Chinese officials presented themselves at various ports in the United States. Will the Minister admit that the SCS certificates not reported to him were fraudulent? Ho becomes the best witness in proof of my assertion. The Minister also says that there were f0 admissions and rejections at San Francisco during the three years, and asks when the others got their certifi cates. Is It possible that His Excellency does not know that most of those persons did not have or require any certificate from China or other foreign government? They were persons who were, or claimed to be. native-born Americans or other citizens, returning laborers, returning merchants, merchants wives, merchants children, etc. Applicants under section 6 certificates numbered only 1C4S. and those are the only mes with whom this statement deals, as they were the only ones who had certifi cates Issued by foreign governments. A majority of those certificates were issued in China. The rejections were 277 In all. of whom 246 bore certificates issued In China by Chinese officials. More than RS Pr cmt of all rejected certificates were, therefore. Issued by Chinese officials. Traces Fraud to Chinese Officials. 1 do not believe there is any man in Congress more friendly to China or more eagerly anxious to see the relations on a permanently friendly basis. This cannot be brought about, however, by the United States supinely and ncedlesslv assuming all the blame for any causes of irritation that may exist So far as I am con cerned. 1 have not the slightest feeling. I have not taken personal offense. Disgraced for Allowing 3Iurder. IX)NDON.

April It Maxim Gorky" reception In the United States is giving the Russian government con siderable concern- A high official here today made the following statement: "In listening to Gorky, the American people should understand that he is not a liberal nor a reformer, but a revolution ist, pure and simple. He Is certainly a writer of talent, perhaps a genius: and much that he says regarding conditions in Runtfa doubtless is true: but it should be made clear that his object is not re form, but revolution. "Mme. Andrelva. who accompanies nim. is not his wife. She also is a revolution ist, and M. M6rosoff. one of Moscow merchant princes, gave her lUMfito for the revolutionary cause When the gov ernment lait Summer.Pfared proof of this fact, he was given 24 hours to leave Russia or stand trial here. He fled to Paris, where he committed suicide." M. Sawa Timofelvitch Morosoff. of Mos cow, who was known as the "Russian Cotton King." was prominent In the Lib eral movement last year, and It is pos sible that he is the person alluded to In the foregoing statement although no In formation of his expulsion or his suicide in Paris has reached this country.

DRIVEN' OUT NEW YOItK CITY Gorky and Actress Wife Refused Ac commodation at Hotels. NEW YORK, April IS. The Tribune today says: Maxim Gorky and his woman companion were not found by newspaper men in this city yesterday. Their bag gage, it was ascertained, was shipped to Chicago on a morning train, and tnerc was some. reason to believe they had gone on the same train with the baggage, to gether with Nlkolay Pieschoff. Gorky's adopted son. After being turned away from the La- fayette-Brcvoort Hotel on Saturday even ing, they went to a socialistic meeting at the Grand Central Palace, with the understanding that they were to have rooms at the Rhinclander. When they got to the Rhinclander an hour before midnight, they were told by Frank Gcr aty. the manager, that they could not stay there, and that their baggage must be removed Iramedltely. Gorky and the woman then went to No 2 Fifth avenue, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Leroy M. Scott, while the baggage was sent to the Victoria. Hotel In charge of Gorky's adopted son. An attempt to get rooms at the Vic toria failed, and the baggage was taken to the Grand Centra t Station and left In the baggage-room over night. At the Grand Central Station yesterday it was said that the baggage had been shipped to Chicago, but nobody would say posi tively whether or not Gorky and his companions were on the train as passe n gcrs. H. Gavlord Wltshlre. who was resron sible for the appearance of the Gorkys at the Hotel Belicclalrc said last night that he did not know what had become of them.

"I told him that he would not be able to get rooms in any hotel In the city with his conventional wne, when It was known that his real wife and chll drcn were in Russia, and I think the trou ble he Is encountering will teach htm a lesson. He will find out that he cannot accomplish anything in this country ex cept with the aid of Socialists Abraham Cahan. editor of the Jewish Dally Forward, said last night that Gorky had arranged to go out of the city for a few days and keep out of sight in a quiet place, where he could write In peace.

L. Mills and J. C. Ainsworth respectively, supporting your candidacy? Did you not come to Portland last week for the express purpose of seeking the support of the brewing and liquor interests? Did you not personally visit them and ask for their support on the ground that you had succeeded finally in getting your home town, Ashland, "wet"? Did not these gentlemen tell you that the State Treasurer's office had no connection with their business and that they did not propose to get into a fight which was none of their affairs? Did you not say that if you could not get the organized support of these interests that you -would seek the organized support of the Anti-Saloon League and certain political preachers? Is it not a fact that Mr. A. L. Mills has written many letters to the correspondents of the First National Bank -throughout the state, asking that they support your candidacy1?
