CHINESE POUR INTO l). S. XO WAY TO KEEP THEM OUT, SAYS IMMIGRATION OFFICIAL Certification of Ship's Captain That Oriental Is Member of Crew Secures Landing- Card. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) Chinese immigrants are pour ing into the United States in such drove's that the oriental exclusion act has become entirely inoperative, ac cording to Edward White, commis sioner of lmmigation. He said: "While the immigration service is keeping out a few stray stowaways or evaders of the exclusion act, every boat from the orient Is dumping in San Francisco large numbers of Chi nese under the guise of sailors. And there is no way, apparently, 'to keep them- out. If the captain of a vessel certifies a man as a member of his crew the person gets a seaman's card permitting him to land. Once ashore, he disappears. "We are not allowed to question the- certification of a master of a vessel. The steamship companies ap parently show no inclination to aid in enforcing the oriental exclusion law. "A man without a card who desires to land and stay in California simply borrows or buys the card of a Chinese sailor who does not care to come ashore in San Francisco. "The exclusion law keeps only Chi nese -women out, and in some in stances they rtep in disguised as men. I have recommended to the depart ment of labor that some regulations be made to enforce the exclusion act." "HUNGER STRIKERS" RIOT Demonstration in Maryland Prison Stopped With Water. BALTIMORE.

OF Head of Instruction School Ar rested on Complaint of One Who Had Aspirations. SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. ZT. (Spe cial.) Efforts to halt wholesale vic timization of ambitious movie stu--dents, anxious to become stars at the hands of unscrupulous "teachers" of the celluloid drama are to be made by Matt Brady, district attorney, as the' result of a request from Sylvester McAtee, police judge, that proper steps be taken to prevent further im positions. The condition of so-called movie schools came to a head in the police court yesterday with the arrest of Leon Casper, head of a mowle in struction bureau at 2121 Market street. His arrest was at the insti gation of Tom L. Williams, who had aspirations - to be a movie etar and who testified that he - paid good money for a course. On the witness stand Casper ad mitted that Williams was without movie possibilities. This admission evoked a burst of wrath from Judge McAtee. He said: This so-called movie picture school is a trap for misguided ambitious vic tims. 95 per cent of whom, 1 venture to say, have no chance of getting into the movies. The defendant has stated he would not even think of employing the complainant for any purpose con nected with moving pictures. On the showing in the case the defendant cannot be reached under the state labor laws. It is to be hoped, how ever, and I recommend it to the at tention of the district attorney, that ' some means within the law may be found to stop this imposition upon the forlorn ambitions to be Charlie Chaplins, Mary Pickfords and Bill Harts.
