eral Industrial relations commission
hearines. the commissioners accldcd
to push their Inquiry Into tho matter
further In San Francisco and l.os An

them disappear soon after ho had

port. Tho commission has been un
able to locato any of theso Chlneso,
and It is thought possibly somo of
them may bo found In cither San
Francisco or Los Angeles.
Washington authorities will Im
asked to aid the commission In da-
lermlnlng how It was possible for Mr.
Stevens and Mrs. Sarah B. Hlng, who

defeat tho purpose, of the exclusion
law so easily. None will make tho di
rect statement, but It Is Intimated
that several "hlghcr-ups" In tho fed
