Jenkins Lloyd Jones, who followed, said: “I do not look for absolute corecion in the Amerioan universities which have been richly subsidized, but that thing which I do fear is suggestiveness.

Had the orders from the train dispatcher been faulty the fellow-servant law could not have been pleaded. In Judge Caldwell's opinion, which is concurred in v Judges Banborn and Thayer, he says; “It is'conceded that the plaintiff was in the strict line of his duty when he re- celved his injury, and nothing but the common law fellow-servant doctrine, as that is construed by the Supreme Court of the United States, stands in the way of recovery. That rule is, in the judgment of the writer of this opinfon, extremely un- just.

HS WX LIWYER " DISBELIEVES Hi Jim Yup Tries to Swear His Way Into America as a Nativel Born. gl Poses as the Son of a Dead Man and Then Says That His Father Is Alive in China. S WO The astounding phenomenon of an attor- ney for a Chinese immigrant denouneing his client In open court as an unmitigated lar was witnessed in Court Commissioner Heacock's chambers yesterday morning. “I desire to say to your Honor that my client fs the most unmitigated, wanton and reckless liar I ever saw in my life.” who Is assoclated with G. W. Schell in the attempt to land Jim Yup as a nativ born. Jim arrived on the Coptic on De. cember 14 of last vear, and-testified be- fore the Chinese Bureau that he was born in 1880 in Oakdale, Stanislaus County, his father being Ylp Fong and his mother a small-footed woman. He swore that his father and mother took him to China when he was two years old ond that hi: parents were aiive In China at the present time. The friends of Jim Yup presented to the bureau affidavits of C. S. Hill, Samuel Coffin, W. A. Griffin and other respectable and prominent citizens of the foothill town to the effect that about twenty-one years ago a Chinese merchant named Shing Yup lived in Oakdale with his wife, a large-footed woman, and a son was |born to them in 1381 or 1882. When the 80n was two years old he was taken to China by his parents. The father re- turned to Oakdale a year afterward and died and was burled In Oakdale two years afterward. The witnesses further swore that the picture of the twenty-one year old Jim Yup bore a strong family resem- blance to their recollection of Shing Yup, who died fifteen years ago. The bureau reported unfavorably and the Collector denied a landing. The bov had given a different man as his father and had sald that his father was alive. The case went before Judge Heacock on habeas corpus, and the boy in trying to cover up the discrepancies in his former testimony told such an altogether differ- ent story that his attorney lost patience and after referring to his client as a liar asked that a commission in lunacy be ap g{olnled to examine into his sanity. Judge eacock appointed Dr. John E. Gardiner and David D. Jones, Chinese interpreters, as the commission, with instructfons tc report at an early date.
