LIES TOLD WITH IMPUNITY BUREAU NOT AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS. | | | Strange Reluctance of Chief Mere- dith to Comply With the Sug- gestion of Commissioner Heacock. The following paragraph in the report of Secretary of e Treasury Gage, re- cently published, has occasioned much surprise in Federal circles in this city: It is believed that many Chinese laborers have gained uniawful admission b represent- | ing themselves to have been born in the United | States. In such cases they present them- selves to the customs officers at the frontler and seek arrest. On being taken before the United States Commissioner for deportation proceed- ings they are frequently discharged on their own testimony and that of their alleged fath- ers. In many cases such testimony is believed have been untrue, and in a number of in- stances the applicants or the alleged fathers, or both, have been successfully prosecuted for perjury. The surprising part of the paragraph is the assertion that in many cases the perjurers have been successfully prose- | cuted. This statement is not applicable | on record in the Federal courts of this | city, and that occured eight years ago. | In that instance, “Doc” C. C. Higgins, a | white man, testified before the United States Commissioner that the applicant, | a Chinaman, was born in this State. He | and his accomplice, a white man named | Heynemann, were_tried for perjury and | were acquitted. No prosecution, either of white or Chinese, has been had since then, although the atmosphere of the courtroom and its very walls are reeking with perjury. During the present year many Chinese applicants for admission to this country have appeared before Commissioner Hea- cock and have flatly contradicted the statements they had made previously to the Chinese bureau and the Collector of the Port. No prosecution would have availed in these cases, because the state- ments made by the applicants to the bu- reau had not been signed by them. Com- missioner Heacock, alarmed at the fre- quency with which perjury was being | committed in his court, urged Chief Mere- | dith of the Chinese bureau more than a vear ago to have all the statements made by the witnesses before the bureau signed by the witnesses; but in spite of his re- peated requests this was not done until recently, and only after the Commissioner Bad complained of the action of the chief of the bureau and after the mem- bers of the press had discovered the loop- hole through which so many Chinese la- borers and slave girls had succeeded in obtaining admission to this State to com- pete with white labor and to fill the prisons. 1t is a fact of peculiar significance that the records sifow that all of the numerous so-called mistakes made by Chief Mere- | dith have been invariably against the | Government and in favor of the Chinese slave-dealers, Of course, it is well un- derstood that the statements taken be- fore the bureau are not given under oath, and that perjury in the legal sense can- not be committed; but the object of Com- missioner Heacock in persistently de- manding that the statements be signed by the persons making them was to make the statements official and to discover dis- crepancies between the sworn testimony before the bureau and the sworn testi- mony before the Commissioner, so that he could be the better able to judge of the truthfulness of the witnesses. %emrs the request of the Commissioner in this re- gard had been acceded to the Commission- er was obliged to rule out the transeript of the statements made before the bu- reau as not being competent testimony because of the absence of the signatures. False testimony on a material oint made before the Commissioner is punished as rer]ury, but a_statement made to the Collector of the Port or to the Chinese bureau is not, because neither ne Collect- or nor the officers of the bureau have any legal authority to administer an oath in the matter of the landing of Chinese, This defect in the law has called to the attention of Senators Perkins and ‘White, 13 expected that Congress b and it AGED MOTHER Inhuman Daughter. /RRI|VU{/UIIRIIIN ER lly Assaulted by Her # MRS, VON G N | | THE MOTHER b the frying pan.

It has been observed that while the bi- tumen is much better than the old basalt blocks it is deficient in many ways. On a hot day, for instance, the surface of the pavement becomes soft and each heavy dray makes a row of deep ruts. Atten- tion was called to_the pavement in front of W. *B. Bradbury’s residence, which is much cheaper and appar- ently far more durable. It is made of the ordinary basalt blocks, set a few inches below the street grade. The inter- stices are filled with gravel and the whole is covered with a coating of bitumen. The members of the club consider this far_superior to the bitumenand concrete, and recommend that Polk street, from Sutter to Jackson, should be paved in this way. The club will keep the pave- ment in repair for a term of years in case it is adopted. It is also recommended that the gas lamps designating fire boxes on certain corners be done away with and that the upper half of the arc light globes be stained red to serve the same purpose. This will save the city the expense of a number of useless gas lamps WALLER FURNISHES FIGURES OF HIS OWN! THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT MADE PUBLIC.

"CHAUNCHA," O "FEAST OF ~ THE LIGHTS" Beginning of the Jew- ish Festival. SERVICES IN THE SYNAGOGUES | SERMONS AGAINST ZIONISM BY | THE RABBIS. Jerusalem Was Not a Walled City, but a Spiritual Abode, Is the Idea of the Beform. Jew. Last night was begun by the people of the Jewish faith the celebration of the Chanuka, or the feast of-the lights, the anniversary of the rededication of the temple by the heroic Judas Maccabeus after a successful revolution against An- tiochus, King of Syria. i In commemoration of the victory an eight-day feast or celebration was insti- tuted, in which candles are lighted, recall- ing the relighting of the fires on the altars of Jehovah. This partial returning of Palestine to the Jewish faith is being compared to the present Zionistic idea, or This plan of colo- Sization and nationality finds no favor reform Jews, on the ground of its mon at Temple Emanu-El, Dr. Tast evening eloquently OD- cheme for the return of the palem. “It was,” he said, ea of the sending thither y a few rich The heroism of Macca- gton of Palestine, and of the Holy Land as sult of that struggle, e imitated by this new is the time to speak -oposéd that wlll over- 3, against the scheme 0 set the progress of ‘On to Zion’ is apt shief in the world than ever come before the of Temple Beth-Israel L his festival is clustered st daring deeds of the inecting with the feast me of the prettiest ideals ever possessed.

It would be of mutual friendliness and would us to deeds of heroism in the ae of and for the glory of Israel. It Pwould bring to the minds of your children the memory of the all-inspiring epoch of their own religion and their hearts could be turned from Santa Claus and be made to grasp the poetry of a real Maccabean. Dr. Jacob Nieto of Congregation Sher- ith Israel said: This is Chanuka, the time of the rededication of the temple and the reconsecration of Israel to the holy mission of proclaiming the unity of God and announcing perfection of man, the world’s greatest ideal. “As we recall the heroic exploits of the Maccabees a thrill of pride courses through our frames as imagination im- pelled by sentiment opens to our mental gaze a view of numberless flelds of glory. The Syrian wer was broken and Israel left at rest in the principles of yore and took again the oath of fealty to God's sovereign_power. But this was changed and the Jew was made to wander forth over the world, a long pilgrimage with the burden of iniquities he had not com- mitted added to those he had; despised and scorned while the world worshiped at the shrine of his creation. They de- tested him but loved his ideals. But his song was still of Zion and his hope was of her restoration * * “Now we come to Zionism. In its new form it is neither poetical nor practical. It is only a phantasy—a dream of the over-sanguine soul. * * * One of the means to be adopted to bring about this end, this return of the Jew to the old home of his race, is the establishment of a bank for the assistance of the future Palestine farmer. Banks cannot be made solvent unless they can loan on an inter- st-yielding industry, and there are no industries in Palestine worth mentioning, and no colonists can progress under con- tions that are utterly visionary, “And there is the religious part of the guestion. If the so-called orthodox Jew right the reconstru would nece: the old sacrificial rites which he prays for daily, and a return to barbarism would be the inevitable resuit. Jerusalem will never be in the possession of the Jew, neither will the introduction of the blood rites of his forefathets be possible or A Race Against Fire. After a ten-days' fight to avoid death the crew of a steamer from Spain recently arrived in Baitimore. In midocean it was discovered that flames were raging in the vessel's hold. For ten long days the crew bravely fought the flames. 1f men would fight as persistently against disorders of the stomach and diges- tive organs, there would be fewer premature deaths. The best weapon for such a fight is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It is the greatest of tonics, and the best of remedies fcr kidney, probable. What we Jews have suffered for, labored for, must not vanish thus be- fore a selfish antieipation of material ag- grandizement. Our Jerusalem is in our hearts. What reek we of the sterile hill- tops, where rival Christian sects shed each others’ blood? “Our Jerusalem is a city at peace with itself, a temple of God, in which all pev- ples shall erect their altars to him. This is the prophet’s ideal, wrested from ideal- ism to become the realization of the dreams of the world.” Rabbl Isidor Myer of Congregation Ohabal Shalome, Bush street, near La- guna, in his sermon this morning at 10. o’clock will speak in favor of Zionism as against the ground taken by his brother reform rabbis. TOTS IN FANCY DANCE. Interesting Entertainment at the Charity Bazaar—Good Things Coming. The management of the Charity Bazaar at Mechanics’ Pavilion promises several “warm numbers” for to-night’s pro- gramme. The bazaar is in good run- ning order and by next Monday night the booths will all be erected, and the management has secured some novelties for the stage calculated to take the town by storm. Last nieht the graduates from Miss Clarke’s dancing school were the chief attractions. Fourteen children, ranging from a miss in her ‘‘teens” to two little people hardly out of long dresses, kept an appreciative --:dience interested for an hour. Mme. Sanderini, the dramatic prima_donna, made her first appearance since her recent illness and showed that her voice had lost none of that power and sweetness which made her a Euro- pean favorite a dozen years ago. To-day the troupe of plantation dar- kies, direct from ‘Ole Virginny.” will make its first appearance in this city, and will be heard every afternoon and evening during the run of the bazaar, A letter was received yesterday afternoon from Gen- eral Merram promising the presence of any troops under his command for the bazaar at any time the management may want them. 0TTO BENDIX’S PIANO RECITAL An interesting piano recital was the one given in Sherman & Clay’s Hall last night by Otto Bendix. The programme, which was excellently interpreted, was a fine one, including the ‘‘Sonate Tragic” of E. A.

INDIANS WELCOMED THE VISIT OF JOULLIN GIVEN THE FREEDOM OF THE RESERVATIONS. The Artist Was Kindly Received in the City of Mexico and by the Various Indian Tribes. Amedee Joullin, the artist, arrived in the city early yesterday morning and was welcomed home by his fellow-painters. Mr. Joullin left here eight months ago to study the habits, customs and legends of certain tribes of Indians in Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico. He was dill- gent in the pursuit of the much-coveted information and accepted with pleasure the hospitalities of the Zunii, the Nava- jos and the Cliff Dwellers. The freedom of the reservations and a large extent of contiguous territory was extended to the artist by the aborigines, and his oppor- tunities to sketch undisturbed were as devoid_of limit as a Palace Hotel poker game. Mr. Joullin will remain in San Fran- cisco for several weeks perhaps, but his sketches will not be unfolded to the gaze of the public until he is established in & New York studio. In Albuquerque, N. Mex., the artist was kindly re d and entertained by the Commercial Club. At the “Enchant- ed Mesa” he found opportunity for Te- flection. In the City of Mexico, where an art school, attended by a+thousand schol- ars, receives the support of the Govern- ment Mr. Joullin loitered for two or three months. He found many European painters and several American artists in the city of the Montezumas. In polite circles of Old Mexico the fashion of employing a capital A in art is respected and Mr. Joullin was offered many inducements to establis nent residence in the ancient capital. desire, however, to return to San Fran- cisco_in time for the Christmas jinks of the Bohemian Club could not be re- pressed, hence bhe journeyed hither by rail and saluted the owl on his arrival in town.
