Portland, March 12. Thrlco tried
finally convicted, and facing sentences
of both flno and imprisonment for com
plicity in tho Oregon bind frauds, J. N.
Williamson, ex-con gross man, Dr. Van
Gesnor and Marion Ulggs havo mot
with un adverse ruling from tho Circuit
court of Appeals, sitting at San Fran
cisco. Uy a decision handed down yes
torday tlio Appollate court, confirmed
tho conviction of Van Gesnor and
liiggs, overruling the long writ of or
rors that they had taken from the find
ings of the lower tribunal. In the case
of Williamson, tho uppeal was dismis
sed for tho reason that a simFar appeal
has been taken to the Supreme court
of tho United States.
Although through a technicality the
appeal of Williamson is thus dismissed,
tlio decision is us clearly a victory for
tho government in his case as in tho
cases of Van Gesner and Biggs. The
ox-congresfman's appeal was taken
upon exactly tiio tamo grounds as
those of his co-cons pi ra tore. In their
cases tho decision was absolutely ad
verse, which is equivalent to an ad
verse decision In tho Williamson ap
peal, bo far us tho merits of tho caso
aro concerned.
Thero was imposed against William-
Bon a sentenco of 10 months' imprison

sentence wus pronounced against Biggs
Because of Van Gesner s ago and im
paired health the court mado tho im
prisonment in his case only five
months, hut ruled that ho should pay
a flno of $1300.
If the law is permitted to take its
course, tho mandate from tho court of

Application will then bo mado by the
Federal authorities to havo the mandate

Tokio, Mnrch 12. A qusction has
arisen regarding the last clause of nrti-
clo second of tho treaty between Japan
and the United States, which has been
cited by the government ut Wush ngton
as authority for the statement that the
Jupuneso government hitherto has been
issuing passports limiting tho destina
tion of emigrants. The paBsportB sim-,
ply cortify to tho nationality of their
holders nnd the placing of a restriction
on them by an administrative moasure,
1b dtclared hero to bo unauthorized by
law and an infringement of tlio personal
right to travel guaranteed by tlio con
stitution. In view, however, of tho nttitude of
tho American government, in not call
ing for tho enforcement of the clause
mentioned, it iB thought that the limi
tation bo placed will bo left unquestion
ed. Even then Japanese jurists beliovo
that the action of tho American govern
ment in restricting tho destination of
holders of paBsportB will not bo upheld
beforo a court. Administrative action
nnd litigation since tho San Francisco
school trcublo havo brought tho clause
into prominenco, nnd Japan ha9 begun
to smart under the alleged humiliation.
It would be no surprise should pressure
be brought on tho government to have
It abstain from issuing passports limit
ing tho destination of thoir bearers.
