WILES OF CHINESE GIRL
WANTS TO BE DEPORTED TO
AVOID PROSECUTION'.
Accused of Stealing $400 From a
Chinese Merchant Federal Offi
cers in Conflict With Policed
SAN FRANCISCO. March 21. (Special.)
Captain of Detectives Petersen, who is
on his way to Portland to bring back
Sue Sing, a Chinese girl charged with
the theft of $400 from Hong King, a Chi
nese merchant, is confronted with a
peculiar situation in his fight for the
custody of the girl.
She left Oakland two weeks ago and
went to the Immigration authorities, to
whom she pretended to be an alien, sub
ject to deportation under the Chinese
exclusion act. The girl wished to be
sent to China, that she. might escape jus
tice here, according to the police. By
causing herself to be deported, she also
would evade the payment of her fare
across the Pacific. She did not dare to
make herself subject to deportation in
San Francisco, because she was born
here and her photograph and description
were In the possession of the immigra
tion authorities.
A contest is now on between the Fed
eral authorities and the Portland police,
and the arrival in the Northern city ot
Captain Petersen probably will establish
the legality of the police claims on the
custody of the girl, as Petersen has
taken with him the proofs of Miss Sue's
birth in San Francisco.

PLAIN PEOPLE THE HEROES
Saved the Day In Recent Panic, Says
Senator Borah.
XBW YORK, March 21. United States
Senator William H. Borah, of Idaho,
speaking tonight at the dinner of the
Beta Theta Phi Club, in the Hotel Astor,
said:
. "A few weeks ago we had a panic a
well-dressed, highly aristocratic, thor
oughly high-toned panic. Every one par
ticipating in the panic was many times a
millionaire a well-respected, conservative
man of busines and a reactionary in poli
tic. What caued the panic i till a matter
of dipute. But this much is certain
those scene of lawlessness, recklessness,
frenzy, theft, repentance and suicide were
not of the people's making.
"This much more is certain it was the
deposits of the people, the small earnings
those of moderate means which were
used to stay the frightful disaster inaug
urated by the daring and recklessness of
those leading business men. It was the
revelry of the chosen few.
"While the great mass of the people
throughout this great land, patient and
forgiving, paying but little attention to
this disturbance on the roof garden of
finance, toiled on and by courage and
conservatism did more to bring back
confidence than a else. If the masses
had become excited as did those few hun
dred about the centers of conservative
business places there would have been
a holocaust of ruin from ocean to ocean."
Senator Borah's reference to the next
nominee of the Republican party for
President as sure to be one "who repre
sents the jjoltcles of President Roosevelt"
brought a storm of applause from his
audience.

a general interest In the event of th
fleet's coming here that has ever been
manifested in any event that has taken
place in this city before.

point in the Union.

CITY WILL BUY WATER PLANT
Eugene Council Agrees on Compro
mise at $140,000 for System.'
EUGENE, Or.," March 21. (Special.)
The most important step which the Eu
gene Council has yet ta&en toward secur
ing its own water system was an agree
ment tonight to take over the Willamette
Valley Company's plant for $140,000. The
only contingency is the sanction of the
people, who will unquestionably favor it.
The Council was practically unanimous
for the agreement.
For several months the Council and
water company have been trying to get
together. The company wanted $150,000,
the Council was willing to pay $120,000.
The compromise will be hailed with satis
faction by many people who have felt
the desirability of eliminating the com
peting plant, which will be a revenue
producer from the start.
The buy will almost assure the sale of
the balance of the $300,000 bonds and Eu
gene is determined to have as fine a
water system as any city. There ia now
no important municipal question upon
which the citizens of the city are divided.
