Secretary Straus Says Pres

Is Inefficient.
GOVERNMENT DEFRAUDED
Says General Regulations Employed
for Undesirables of Other Coun

Regard to Natives of China.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. Important
and unusual statements and recom
mendations are made by Secretary Os
car S. Straus. In the sixth annual re
port of the Department of Commerce
and 1-abor. made public today. Mr.
fctraus lays particular stress upon the
Inefficiency of the methods 'employed
by the Government In excluding; un
desirable Chinese, and suggests that
the laws be changed. He point, out
that while aliens of other countries
are dented admission to the Uni.ted
States under the general Immigration
laws, the exclusion of the Chinese Is
secured only after a lengthy procedure
In the Federal Courts
Mr. Straus explains that aliens of all
countries save China can- he deported
on order of the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor, but that the Chinese can
carry their case to the courts. He
shows by records that the only result
In the latter method Is to prolong the
Investigation needlessly, with detri
ment to the country. The investlga
tlon of other foreigners arrested for
being unlawfully In this country ex
tends over but few days. Air. Straus
aald:
Makes Recommendation.
Th obvious courso to purnu. therefore.
fllrlatd allks by the demand of justira
and .quality on the one hand and by con
iterations of rood administration on the
other. Is to plac the matter of Chlnei lra
mlKratlon where It essentiaJly belongs,
namely, within tho operation of the sys
tem of regulation applicable to Immigra
tion generally: in other word, to let the
methods and the machinery provided with
repert to the admission and exclusion of
aliens generally be applied In the rase of
aliens from China as well. Should this
be done, anion; other results which may
confidently be expected are In the first
place, an enormous gain In effectiveness
of enforcement, particularly with reference
to the deportation of thow who have se
cured unlawful aroea to the country; sec
ond, a most dectdfd snln In economy of
administration, and. third, a marked Im
provement in the relations between two
friendly peoples hs well as a notable in
crease In commercial prestige.
Particular attention Is devoted by the
Becretary In his report to the Bureaus of
Immigration and Naturalization. Corpor
ations and Labor. While other bureaus of
the Department are Important, the three
mentioned bear the more directly upon
the material interests of the people than
do any of the others. The report, as- It
relates to tliem scarcely can be consid
ered as an ordinary departmental report,
as it Is replete with information, sugges
tion and human interest.

Concerning the Bureau of Immigration
Mr. Straus points out that tip to the close
of the Civil War all our laws ware framed
to encourage immigration and that since
tiien American legislation. while not
hostile to Immigration., has been directed
toward the elimination of undesirable
classes. As a result of the legislation the
percentage of foreign-born persons In
nur population has remained practically
tationary for years. Concretely, the
percentage of foreign-born In litiD was
13.?. while In 19tX it was 13.7.
"During a portion of the past fiscal
year." says Air. Straus, '"and extending
Into the present, this country has suf
fered an Industrial depression due to a
number of causes." The effect of this
depression upon Immigration was Im
mediate, the fiscal year of 19u6 showing
a falling off in Immigration of about 3S
Ier cent.
One-Fourth Illiterate.
Deducting the total departures of
aliens from the total arrivals during
the fiscal year the net increase of alien
population was 2i6.S67. About 26 per cent
of those admitted were Illiterate. The
total amount of money actually brought
Into the country by arriving aliens was
17.794.:S, an average of almost fcXS per
capita. Warrants of deportation were
Issued in the cases of 1955 aliens and 10.902
aliens were rejected at the port of ar
rival. In the last ten years the accepted
llgures of immigration are actually 48
per cent In excess of the net Immigra
tion." Considerable space is devoted to the
Jncomlrs of Japanese, which shows a
gradual but sure reduction in the num
ber. During the year the net increase
Ir. Japanese population was only SKX. -Mr.
traue says that the Japanese and Amer
ican governments are co-operating to en
force the laws respecting the coming of
Japanese laborers to tills country.
Manufacturers Are Violators.
Greater success has attended the ef
forts of the Department to enforce the
alien contract labor law during the
last year than in any preceding year.
It Is pointed out that "the greatest
violators of the contract labor laws
are the American manufacturers."
J-abor unions, too, have at times been
found among the violators of the law.
During the year 1932 contract laborers
were rejected, an Increase of 34 per
cent over the rejections for 1907. In
all. 2172 contract laborers were de
ported during the year. Particular
efforts were directed toward the sup
pression of the white slave traffic, this
country co-operating with many Euro
pean governments to . concert, proper
measures to attain this purpose.
Attention also Is devoted to -the di
vision of naturalization, which shows
that 2244 courts have been engaged in
the last year In conferring naturaliza
tion upon aliens. .During the year
1.16.725 declarations of Intention and
4-1.878 petitions for naturalization were
filed. Through the Department of
Justice, 1303 cases for the cancellation
of Illegally granted certificates were
Instituted and in 457 of the cases the
certificates were withdrawn. Sugges
tions are made of important amend
ments to the legislation relating to
the naturalization of aliens.
To Investigate Corporations.
. Some space is devoted to a consider
ration of the operations of the Bureau
of Corporations, but on account of the
character of the work of that bureau
little definite information is disclosed.
The Secretary says that the bureau
now has on hand Investigations of the
tobacco, steel and lumber industries, in
land waterways, the International Har
vester Company and further Investiga
tions of tne petroleum industry and
cotton exchanges. He is of the opinion
that advance "toward corporate reform
muft come through some general sys
tem of publicity."
It is becoming more and more obvious
fintt the work of the government In rjra
Inttng corporations should not be directed
at tba. men xiataaca of oomhlnaflon tael&
as such, but should deal rather with the
way In which the combination powers are
used, so as to prevent as far as possible
the misuse of these great Industrial forces.
Only such combinations as are formed for
wrongful purposes, or such combinations
as use their powers for evil, should be
brought under the condemnation of the
law.
Air. Straus strongly recommends the
adoption of a definite system of posi
tive supervision and regulation or cor
poratlons through an administrative
office., urging that such a system is
constructive, not destructive. Through
this office It would be possible to pub
llsh important facts as to corporate op
erations, safeguarding the unnecessary
publication of ail proper business se
crets.
In, reference to the Bureau of Labor
Mr. Straus says that It is making a
study of the general subject of work
ingmen's insurance. Industrial accidents
and employers' liability. He regards
as one of the great needs in industrial
relations a radical change in the law
respecting employers' liability. The law
granting compensation to disabled gov
ernment employes, the Secretary says.
should be extended, to the end that
the Government Itself should aid In
the Improvement of the conditions of
labor.
Mr. Straus says of the Census Bureau:
The Director estimates the cort of taking
the Thirteenth Census and of continuing at
the same time the regular work of the Bu
reau at $14,117,000. This estimate eontem
r ates nn expenditure, during the three years,
of I1.1S7.oii0, to carryr on the four annual
report and the two biennial reports whlcti
the Bureau Is required to make, leaving the
sum of lU'.ii.TO.Ooo avaliahle for the Thir
teenth Census proper. The, total appropria
tions made by Conferees lin three separate
acts) for the Twelfth Ceneus aggregated
1.1.51.210.
Owing to the fact that the number of
breeding female seals has been reduced
from more than l.OOO.onO to less than 50.000,
because of pelagic sealing. Mr. Straus
recommended that negotiations for an
international arrangement for the settle
ment of the seal question should be
brought to a conclusion. He says that
pelagic sealing should be abolished. In
cluded in the Secretary's report is a ref
erence to the Alaskan Fur-Seal Service,
as follows:
The report of the Government agent In
charge of the fur-seal fl-heries at the Prlbl
lof Inlands Alaeka. shows that during the
sealing season ended July 31. J BOH. 12.500
skliia were taken on the Island of St. Paul
and 25"io on the Island of St. George, or
IS.ono in all. tf this catch there were
shipped by the lessee company 14,604 mer
chantable sklru.
Mr. Straus says of the merchant ma
rine: tin Julv an. IB", the total documented
merchant shipping of the United State com;
prised 25.423 vessels, aggregating 7.36o,44..
gross tor. This tonnage, of course, is the
largest In our history, and the Increase over
the previous fiscal year l the largest annual
increase record d. Nearly three-fourths of
the Increase has been on the Great Lakes
snd Pacific Coast shipping, both relatively
and absolutely, has Increased mnre' than the
shipping of the Atlantic and Gulf seaboards.
I renew the recommendation of my last
annual report In favor of a measure that
shall Inmire us superior mall communication
with the republics of South America, with
Australasia, by way of our insular territories
In the mid-Pacific, and with the Philippines
by way of China and Japan. A bill which
in its essentials accords with, that recom
mendation has paw'i the Senate and now

of the notes, declared they were simply
a reaffirmation of what was declared
by the two governments years ago. It
was something like a transaction be
tween trusted friends. The Ambassador
added:
The substance of the instrument, which
has alreadv found Its way to tho press,
called forth the exhaustive expressions of
opinion in this and other countries and
there remains hardly anything to be added.
As will be seen In their wording, the
notes are simply in the form of a declara

They are simply a reaffirmation of what

then existing. i. ie, iiv .
that the notes which are exchanged between
governments of such moral standing as
those of the United States and Jaiian will
nave a great Importance in the carrying
out of their common policy. Japan has en
tire confidence in the great moral strength
of the rnlled States Government and the
latter fully trusts In the strong good faith
of the Japanese government, as has been
amply proved by past experience. In this
respect It Is something like a transaction
between trusted friends.
The substance of the declaration was
furnished in advance of its signing to
tlie various governments Interested In
Chinese affairs and cordial responses of
sympathy and support came from them.
Common Aim and Policy.
The exchange of views between ns. which"
has taken place during tho several inter
views I have recently had the honor of
holding with you. has shown that Japan
and the Cnlted States, holding Important
outlying Insular possessions in the region of
the Pacific Ocean, the governments of the
two countries are animated by a common
aim. policy and Intention in that region.
Believing that a frank avowal of that
aim. policy and Intention would not only
tend to strengthen the relations of friend
ship and neighborliness which have Im
memortally existed between Japan and the
rnlled States, but would materially con
tribute to the preservation of the general
peace, the Imperial government has au
thorised me to present you an outline
of Its understanding of that common aim.
policy and intention.
Then follow the five articles of the
covenant, as made public November 27,
from Washington. The Japanese Ambas
sador writes in conclusion:
If the foregoing outline accords with the
view of the government of the United
States. I shall be gratified to receive your
'confirmation.
Accordant rollcj-, Says Root.
Mr. Root, in Tils note, says:
I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your note of today, setting forth
the result of the exchange of views between
us in our recent interviews defining the
understanding of our two gcvernments in
regard to their policy in the region of the
Pacific Ocean.
It is a pleasure to Inform you that this
expression of mutual understanding Is wel
come to the government of the United
States as appropriate to the hippy relations
of the two countries and as an occasion for
a concise, mutual affirmation of that ac
cordant policy respecting the Far East
which the two governments have so fre

I am happy to be able t confirm to your

Chicken Coop for Ballot Box.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1. One of tho charges
of political misconduct on which the
Democratic State Central Committee of
Illinois proposes to ask the legislature
for a recount of the ballots In the De-neen-Stevenson
election for Governor Is
that the Judges. and clerks of election In
a precinct In Perry County used a small
chicken coop for a ballot-box.
Into this repository of expression of a
free and independent electorate In South
ern Illinois they chucked the vote re
gardless, mixing up the ballots cast by
n:en and the ballots cast by women, the
law requiring separate ballot-boxes and
not specifically sanctioning the use of
chickencoops for either.

Mr. Archbold.
A statement showing disectors and
officers of the 20 subsidiary companies
of the Standard from 1892 to 1899 was
placed on the records.
How Truot Was Wound X'p.
Mr. Archbold said he was a party
to the final liquidation of the trust In
1899 and to the Increase of the capital
stock of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey to $110,000,000. Mr. Arch
bold said the capitalization of the New
Jersey company was fixed to take over
the truBt certificates and allow a nttie
margin over. The capitalization was
large enough to take an oi tne siock
of the subsidiary companies held by
owners who had liquidated these 'trust
certificates.
In explanation of the modus oper
andi, Jir. Archbold Rld he turned In
his certificates In the trust and re
ceived assignments of legal interest,
for whioh he received stock in the 20
subsidiaries. These stocks of the sub
sidiaries Mr. Arcnbold held from 1892
to 1899, when he turned them into the
Standard of New Jersey, receiving
stock in the same equivalent as his
share holdings In the trust.
The Prairie Oil & Gas Company, said
Mr. Archbold, did not refine oil. but
was engaged in the production and
transportation of oil.
Mr. Archbold declared that pipe lines
were a necessary part of the Stand
ard's business.
Knows liittle of Manhattan Oil.
Mr. Archbold's cross-examination
was then begun by Mr. Kellogg, for
the Government. The witness was
asked as to his official connection with
the Standard Oil and various subsid
iary companies.
When asked if ho was a leading offi
cial of the Standard, Mr. Archbold said
he was "active."
Mr. Archbold said he had heard of
the Manhattan Oil Company of Ohio
and that he knew little of it.
Objection was made by counsel for
the defense to this line of cross-examination.
The witness said the company
was 'a competitor of the Standard.
"Do you know anything about the
General Industrial Development Syn
dicate. Limited, of London;" asked Mr.
Kellogg.
"I h - heard of it since these hear
ings begi " .
"Is It co. -oiled directly or indi
rectly by the .andard?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"Don't you know that the General
Industrial Development Syndicate pur
chased the Manhattan Oil Company 7"
Standard Bought Out Manhattan.
"No, I do not" Mr. Archbold was
asked if it was not true that the
Standard had purchased the tank cars,
refineries and pipe lines of the Man
hattan from the London company. The
witness said that he understood that
that purchase was made.
Mr. Archbold said that Anthony N.
Brady had told him that he purposed
selling the Manhattan Company and
wanted to obtain a contract for. oil
supply for the People's Gas, Light &
Coke Company, of Chicago. A con
tract was entered into, Mr. Archbold
said, but he did not know the terms
of the contract.
"Don't you know that Mr. Brady testi
fied a year ago that that contract was
worth $1,300,000 to the People s Gas, Light
& Coke Company?''
"I do not know."
Mr. Archbold said tt hart not been n

Vhy He Did Not Investigate.
The attention of Mr. Archbold was
called to the evidence of Mr. Brady, who
testified that assets worth $1,300,000 were
paid for the contract and the General In
dustrial Company negotiated the con
tract for the Standard Oil Company.
Mr. Archbold said he had no recollection
that the General Industrial Company had
anything to do with the contract. The
witness said he could not explain tne
loan to Mr. McDonald and had not in
vestigated it-
'Why didn't you investigate it."
'I did not feel called upon to do so."
"Will you try to find out about the
loan?"
"If my counsel so advises.
Mr. Archbold. interrogated about the
Indiana Pine Line & Refining Company,
said he was under the Impression that the
Standard purchased It.
"Who was behind the company?"
The Cudahys of Chicago, I believe."
Vexatious Conditions in Texas.
;Mr. Archbold said he understood the
Corsicana Refining Company had been
built with the Standard's money. He was
not aware that the money furnished for
the Corsicana Company appeared on the
Standard's books only as a loan to Folger
and Payne.
"How Is it held now?"
"Kolger and Payne are paying for It.
The vexatious conditions In Texas made
us want to get rid of it."
Mr. Archbold told of the Standard's
business relations with the Tidewater
Pipe Line Company. When the Standard
obtained possession of 31 per cent of the
Tidewater stock, it took over several
small independents at the seaboard.
"Our purpose in securing these inde
pendents was to succeed to their volume
of business," added Mr. Archbold, who
told of the construction of the Crescent
Pipe Line and the United States Pipe
Line.
The witness said the stock In the Unit
ed States Pipe Line waa bought for an In
vestment and "to know what was going
on."
Mr. Kellogg wanted to know If it was
not a fact that the Republic Oil Com
pany was organized" by clerks In the
Standard's office and that for a long time
Its real ownership was not made known.
Mr. Archbold said he knew nothing of it.

FOB KILLING ALXEX.
Was Convicted in 3Iorrow County
of Murder in Second Degree.
Self-Defense Reviewed.
sl .EM, Or., Dec. 1. (Special.) The
Supr te Court today affirmed the con
victiov of Dan P. Doherty, who was
convict 1 of murder in the second de
gree, a ser trial before Judge H. J.
Bean, in Morrow County. The opinion
of the Supreme Court Is by Chief Jus
tice Bean. The crime was the killing
of Oscar Allen in a saloon in Lexing
ton, December 20, 1907. The sentence
was life imprisonment.
It was shown by the evidence that
Doherty, Allen and others were drink
ing in a saloon; that at Doherty's sug
gestion Allen had treated the crowd,
and that Doherty wanted Allen to
treat again, which the latter refused
to do. Doherty then called Allen a
"cheap John" and other names and
used abusive and insulting language.
After considerable quarreling. In .which
Allen warned Doherty to stop his
abuse. Allen struck at his tormentor,
who responded by firing the fatal shot.
At the trial the court gave certain in
structions as to self-defense, to which
the defense excepted.
The Supreme Court holds that if the
facts call for an instruction upon the
subject of self-defense, that question
was properly presented to the jury,
but the court expresses a doubt
whether the defendant was entitled to
an Instruction upon the subject at all.
Concluding a discussion of the law of
self-defense, the opinion says:
"Fear of a slight injury is not suf
ficient, nor will a' mere assault not
felonious furnish an excuse for the
taking of life. If the intention of the
assailant is only to commit a trespass
of simple beating, it will not justify
his killing. But, considering the rela
tive age and strength of the parties,
or the ferocity of the attack, if the
intended beating is of such a character
as to endanger life or limb, then It
will be felonious and the assaulted
person is justified in taking the life
of his assailant if necessary' to pre
serve his own or protect him from
such a beating."
The court holds that the evidence

Army for Defense Only.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1. General Frederick
D. Grant, speaking at a banquet of the
St. Andrew's Society here last night,
called attention to the "remarkably"
small Army of the United States. He
said it would be of no use at all' for ag
gressive warfare.
"Our Navy and Army should be classed
together In that they must work to
gether in the event of war." said he.
"They would be of use only for defensive
purposes because of their small num
bers. However, we do not care to em
bark on any aggressive warfare.
"In the present day battles our salva
tion is found in the fact that we do not
need such large numbers of soldlera.
Take 20,000 trained soldiers and they can
hold off an army of almost any size. In
fact, the greater the numbers of the op
posing army the greater the difficulty in
approaching the smaller enemy."

Your laundress may
be a "jewel" let us
hope she is.
Nevertheless, there
are some things you may
