BISHOP TlIOBUliX VISITS COI
ONY IN" SEATTLE.
Finds Reports of Conditions Exag
gerated, but Says Hindus Cannot
Stand Wavs and Climate.
Bishop J. M. Thoburn, who started for
Belllngham to investiKate the conditions
of the Hindus who had landed there, did
not go further than Seattle, wnere ne re
mained but a few days. Owing to the
state of his health Bishop Thoburn was
compelled to return to his home, after a
brief stay and investigation in Seattle.
However, he says that he found that con
ditions, so far as the Hindus are con
cerned, very greatly exaggerated in the
newspaper accounts.
"Arriving at Seattle." said the Bishop
yesterday, "I was informed that some of
the Hindus had come from Bellingham,
but for some time I could not get trace
of them. I walked the streets and even
asked the police where they were, but
until I applied to a Christianized Jap
anese I could not find them. The Jap
anese took me to their quarters. They
were very glad to see me because I could
talk to them in their language, and they
crowded about me.
"I had been under the impression that
they had been shlpped,into this country.
In their own country the Hindu is paid
from 5 to 15 cents a day, and I could not
understand how these men could have
obtained the money to pay their way to
America. I questioned them closely on
this point, and how they got money to
, come on. and they insisted that they had
i raved It up In various ways, but I was
not entirely aatlafled. It has been against
the custom of the Hindus to leave their
own country, and In the past when -hey
have done so they have lost caste at
home, but that custom is now being 1
broken down and they are going to all
countries of the world.
"It had been reported that 900 had
landed at Bellingham, but the group I
questioned at Seattle declared that not
more than 150 came, and that generally
the newspaper reports of their treatment
had been greatly exaggerated and mag
nified. At Seattle the Hindus said they
had been wen-treated and had attracted
no particular attention.
"At home they are not given to drink
ing, and are a loveable, peaceable class,
but when they get here they cannot stand
up against the vices of civilization, and
oon fall. At Seattle a number had been
drinking, and were before the Police
Court. This is because they are made
the victims of the saloonmen, and not
from inclination or habits of their own.
"It is my judgment that these people
are better off at home than here. They
are not strong enough to do the hard
work of unskilled labor, and the climate
Is against them. They cannot physically
stand work on the railroads in this coun
try for they have not the endurance.
These men I saw and talked with at
Seattle are not the ,highest nor most in
telligent type, but they were not beggars
nor In want.
"I think the . American Government
should take steps to prevent the Hindus
from coming here in large numbers. The
Consul General at Calcutta should be
Instructed to see that none start for
America until they have passed a test
of physical and mental qualifications.
The tendency is to ship off the unfit, but
if a system of careful scrutiny were es
tablished at Calcutta It would prevent the
shipping to this country the undesirable
who are better off at home. I don't
think there is any danger of these peo
ple ever endangering the laboring in
terests of this country, but they are bet
ter off at home than here. They can
not, stand against our civilization."
Biahop Thoburn, was .com,pelled to cut
short his Investigation and return on
account of his health. For the past six
months he has been under orders of his
physician, and while going, about in f Tat
tle soon became exhausted. However,
he has suffered no serious consequences
from his trip. He hopes to look up the
few Hindus who are In Portland, and
later may be able to take a trip to Brit
ish Columbia. He lived for more than
45 years among the Hindus and is very
much concerned in their welfare.

WORK FOR CITY ATTORNEY
MUST PASS tPOX QUESTIONS
AFFECTING CONDUIT.
Many Points Have Arisen That
Must Be Settled Before Wires,
Mains and Pipes Can Be Laid.
Members of the commission recently
created by order of the City Council to
consider the practicability of a municipal
conduit system held its first meeting
yesterday. Legal questions affecting the
rights of the city in the proposed sub
way and the ' manner of its construction
were referred to City Attorney Kava
naugh and until an opinion Is received
from that official no further steps will
be taken towards installing the system.
City Attorney Kavanaugh has been re
quested ' to solve some knotty problems
that are Involved In the city's proposed
action. " He will pass on the question 'of
whether or not the city during the last
10 years has surrendered any rights it
now desires to exercise by permitting
property owners to utilize the space be
neath the sidewalks for private purposes.
He will also give an opinion as to
whether or not the city can appropriate
the space beneath these sidewalks for
the construction of a conduit for the ac
commodation of all telephone, electric
and telegraph wires together with gas
and steam mains. At the same time he
will pass on the city's ability to compel
corporations to place such wires and
mains in such a conduit and at the same
time share the expense of constructing
the system.
It was voted by the commission to defer
any further action in connection with the
conduit until an opinion on these ques
tions is received from the City Attorney.
In the meantime it was decided to hold
a conference with the interests that will
be affected and invitations were issued
to the different corporations to attend a
meeting and discuss the subject. This
meeting will be held at the call of Mayor
Lane. ' '
It is the opinion of Mayor Lane that
the city should proceed with the con
struction of the' conduit that has been
proposed and - force all corporations to
use It and at the same time pay a pro
portionate assessment of the cost of con
structing and maintaining the system.
Commissioner Greene doubted the right
of the city to exercise this authority but it
was the opinion of Commissioner Vaughn
that the city in so proceeding would be
acting within its authority. He believed
that a sufficient rental could be charged
and collected from the various corpora
tions using the conduit to provide an
amount large enough to meet' all Interest
charges on the bonds that would be Is
sued for constructing the plant and at
the same time create a sinking fund from
which the bonds could be redeemed sub
sequently. The commission decided to install the
proposed conduit system in the district
between Twelfth street and the river and
between Yamhill and Gllsan streets. Mr.
Vaughn said he would ask the Council
to pass an ordinance appropriating funds
to meet the expenses of a consulting en
gineer In preparing plans and specifica
tions for the proposed system.
