NEW LAW FOR THE CHINESE
Michigan Conerewman Introduces Bill to
Beviaa the Exclusion Ltwi.
GRANTS FULL WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
siler Proposed Regulation Harden
of Proof Will Be mu I silted
States la Walt to Deport
Chinese.
WASHINGTON. April 11.-K pi escntatlv
Dcnby (Mich.) Introduced a bill today mak
ing extensive lrvl.lon of the Chinese ex
clusion act. It extenda the operation of
this act ten years and Incorporates the
recommendations of Commissioner General
B.irgent for American inspectors In China
under the supervision of the immigration
service and for the re-registratlon of
Chinese now In this country. The- bill Is
not Intended to modify the basic policy of
excluding Chinese laborers but. according
to Mr. Denby. Is an attempt to find a com
promise which shall harmonise differences
with Chins. It permlta Chinese residents
of this country to go and come at will
under proper regulation In order to return
certificates, etc. It repeals the provision of
existing law permitting Chinese laborers to
leave the Ciiited 8tates and subsequently
return only In case they have wives or
families or debts due to them In the 1'nlted
States and which limits their right of re
turn to one year. It admits Chinese appli
cants for the writ of habeas corpus to ball,
a privilege now denied them. It provides
that any ( hlnaman resident In the United
States and wishing to go buck to China
and then return to the United States may
receive a return certificate on exhibition
of his certificate of registration or original
certificate of entry and proof of his
identity.
It repeals the provision of existing law
placing the burden of proof upon Chinese
arrested for being unlawfully In the United
States to show his right to be here. It re
peals spci Ideally the provision In the law
of 192, already held unconstitutional, that
Chinese found unlawfully In the United
States shall be imprisoned at hard labor
for one year and then deported.
It enlarges the exempt classes beyond
those mentioned In the treaty of 1880 to in
clude accountants, bookkeepers, hankers,
members of the learned professions, editors
or members of other classes not falling
within the category of laborers from enter
ing the United States. But it also pro
vides that It shall be unlawful fur any
Chinese person entering the United States
as a member of an exempt class to work
for gain as a lu borer.
There is at present no standard by which
persons claiming to be "students" are to
he Judged. The bill explicitly defines the
term student. It also provides that Chi
nese coming to this country from China or
the islands adjacent thereto shall depart
only from certain ports to be designated by
the United States.
Haling In Te.iaa.
EL PASO. Texas, Apt II 11. Federal Judge
Maxey today held that the secretary of the
Department of Commerce and Labor has
no authority to order the deportation of a
Chinaman who has once gained admission
to the United States, but that the China
man must have a court trial. The ruling
was made In the case of Chin Tun who
was arrested here and sent back to Mexico
by the secretary becsuse the Immigration
officers hud seen him in Mexico.
Chin Tun returned after deportation, was
re-arrested and got out a writ of habeas
corpus.

PRODUCTION OF PIG - IRON
Untsiat for Mnrrh earl . Fle Per

Prevlnne Month.
NKW YuRK. April II. -The lion Age will
say tomorrow: The monthly pig Iron statis
tics show that March has been a record
breaker. The production, exclusive of
charcoal iron, amounted to 2,K,I32 tons,
s compared with the best previous month,
2.("!S.r:! tons in January. Estimating the
charcoal iron product the total was close
to 2.2i.(iO to:is. The steel companies in
March made 1,4ii.3i5 tons and the mer
chant furnaces 7'.237 tons. That this
enormous amount of metal has gone into
consumption is shown by the fact that the
stock of the steel corporation Is down to the
lowest figure In Its history, lin.noo. and that
some of the other steel companies have re
cently bought outside metal, or are in
the market now. Active furnace capacity
Increased from 47.7:!7 tons per week on
March 1 lo 4M.240 tons nn April 1. There
was considerable heavy Inlying during the
past week, the majority of the large tran.
nctiins. however, h.ilng been made at con
cessions. The cast Iron pipe Interests, which had
the best month In their history, during
March, have been large purchasers. They
have taken from Hft.000 tons to 7i.0oo tons of
pig Iron, the greater part In the smith,
although the furnaces In the cast and in
the central weal have come In for a share.
The steel corporation bought 11.000 tons
of Bessemer Iron for shipment to Cleveland
and Chicago and also a 2. WO ton lot t
basic pig. The Cambria company took
lO.ooo tons and another Interest is in the
market for about iflOnn tuns.
The Lake Superior corporation has se

PRIVATE CONTRACTORS WIN
Battleship Louisiana Will Be Ready
for Active Service Before
the Connecticut.
WASHINGTON, April ll.-The present
prospects are, according to the view now
obtaining at the Navy department, that
the battleship Connecticut being con
structed by the government at the New
York navy yard will not only cost approx-,
Imately 1 400. 000 more than its sister' ship,!
the Louisiana, being built by private con
tractors, but that the government will lose
the race which has been on . since the
building of the two big ships was begun.
Just how much longer it may take to com.
plete the Connecticut than the Louisiana
depends upon the action of congress.
According to the latest figures at the
Nava- department showing the progress be
ing made on ships under construction, the
percentage of completion reached oh the
Louisiana la 87.S2 and the Connecticut 97.11.
When congress provided for the construc
tion of one of these battleships at a navy
yard it mas with a view of obtaining com
parative figures to show whether the gov
ernment could build ships more economic
ally at the navy yards than by private con
tract. The race between the two ships has
been watched with keen Interest by naval
authorities and those Interested in ship
construction, because of the future policy
which It might bring about.
Another factor In retarding the work on
the Connecticut has been the curtailment
In the working force at the New York
yard made necessary by the lack of funds.
The force there was cut down from 3,000
to ROft. thus materially reducing the force
that could be utilized nn the construction
work on the Connecticut. I'nless congress
shall liave made provision for the Increased
cost of the Connecticut by June 1, the work
on the battleship will necessarily be sus
pended. It was stated at the navy yird
today, but It Is anticipated that the naval
appropriation bill will be passed before that
time. Increasing the limit of cost by about
ttOn.Ooft. If this expectation is realised
work mill he commenced on the Connecti
cut with a' view to placing It tn commis
sion at the earliest possible moment.
It Is estimated at the department that
the Louisiana will be ready for delivery to
the government in from four to six weeks.

Which Will Rrmiir All Trnrea
of. Rrands wn slock.
MEB'I fcETSE. Wyo., April II. -(Special )
IOcal stoi kmen are greatly exercised over
the alleged discovery of Ben Harmer, a
cowpuncher of this place. Harmcr Is
known among the boys of the outfit ss "the
Professor," because of his having gradu
ated In an eastern university. He has
always dabbled In chwmlsiry and quite
accidentally discovered, he says, a process
whereby he can remove nil traces of a
brand on either cattle or hornets, lie stated
he stumbled onto the discovery when doc
toring a sore shoulder on a workhorse, and
now avers he hns the treatment reduced to
a science. He says any one can apply his
"dope," as he calls It. and that the treat
ment requires but Ave weeks to effectually
remove all traces of the branding Iron. In
proof of this he exhibited here this week a
well known saddle horse he purchased
from the M outfit. This animal Is known
to have been branded with an M and also
a number on the Jaw. No trace of these
brands can now be seen.
Harmer Is trying to nuance his discovery
among local cattle and horsemen. He
wants to manufacture this "dope" and sell
It to horsemen. It is well known that
many flue animals shipped from the range
countries are sold at a comparatively low
fleure because of the brands they carry,
and HaniiT'i idea Is to buy this sort of
stock, remove the brands, and then market i
the stuff at fancy prices. Falling In this,
he will go to the big horse markets of the
east and endeavor to finance the scheme or
sell his secret.
Men of experience on the range are very
t slow to believe In Harnier s discovery, and
are exceedingly dubious ss to Its value
to the stock industry. In the hands of
stock rustlers It would prove a dangerous
and costly discovery, as thep operators
would have ample time during the summer
1 montn, to dofdc )rnds from hundreds of
head of both cattle and horses. laical
horsemen see a chance to realize larger
prices for their best stuff. If Harniers
"dope" will remove the brands as he says,
but are with the cattlemen in the matter
of being fearful of results should the
rustlers commence Its use.

CHINESE SHOW SURPRISING STRENGTH
America Is Watching Affair to See
that Terms of Treaty Are Ob
served h Maaatory
Parlies.
WASHINGTON. April 11. Reports of
friction between the Russian and Chinese
troops in Manchuria have attracted the at
tention of the State department. No of
ficial Information has been received 011 the
Mibject. It was anticipated that the divi
sion In the peace treaty of the responsi
bility for the policing of Manchuria for
even a limited term between three nations
would result in Just such friction as hus
been reported. At a point on the railroad
conncctlngSiiie Siberian road with Port Ar
thur and Dalny. a little distance below
Harbin, the Japanese troops arc In charge
of the line. Above that point the rosd
is under the double protection of Russian
and Chinese troops or railroad guards.
As it Is understood here both the Rus
sians mid the Japanese are looking forward
with apprehension to the time when they
must evacuate Manchuria proper and In
each case there Is n strong desire to In
sure ns large a holding as possible of the
material resources of this rich country
after the military forres are withdrawn,
struuulr for t one -salons.
One way ol accomplishing this has been
to secure concessions for the exploitation
of timber lands, of mines and for the de
velopment of the agricultural lands and
then to require the Chinese government
to recognize these holdings when they re
Rain possession of the country. Hut the
Chinese government bs shown a surpris
ing degree of self-assertion and Inde
pendence In dealing with these claims, and
it is believed here that the friction Is now
said to have arisen In Manchuria results
from the attempts being made to induce the
Chinese to change their attitude.
The only concern of the American gov
ernment Is tlmt the undertaking of the
treaty that Manchuria shall be evacuated
hy both Russia and Japan shall be lived up
to, but this. It is pointed out by officials'.
Is not the time to raise that Issue. A
period of eighteen months was allowed for
the evacuation and when that time shall
have pnascd. If the evacuation Is not an
accomplished fact, the State department
will renew Its Interest In the subject.

WASHINGTON. April 11. -Chairman K.
K. Gary of the United States Steel cor

In four years, he said, the Steel corpora

of its output.
He denied a statement made by James
C. Walsh, vice president of the American
Shipbuilding company, that the steel com
pany sold steel' abroad for ships at t'-'4,
charging the American consumer H- for the
same products. There is little difference,
he snld, between the domestic and foreign
