Tarpey and John E. Bennett Revive G;gantic. Plan to Give Orientals Free Passagewayto Evade Exclusion Laws, Hoping to Secure Concession for Colonizing the ‘Southern Republic First—The fisherman must get for himself “tea, rice, vegetables, clothing and g0ods from the’ foreman or Chinese merchants. The Pacific Charter Company is not after that kind of business. Second—These necessaries will be carried by the company. The freight charges will be cheap. Other than the fishermen and mer- ,chants will have to pay higher. Third—When the fishermen begin work they must make a contract with foremen to buy their fmplements from Chinese merchants. It mot, the contract is broken. Fourth—The Chinese merchants must buy the salt or dried fish, besides canned fish or other- wise the foremen will take charge. Acapulco and all other stopping places for the ships will have warehouses. Canneries will be established all along the coast and the company will have a small steamer to visit the cannerles every week to take the dried and salt fish to Aca- pulco. Mexico May Give Concession. In the “Parliamentary Chronicle,” is- sued by the Mexican Government for this month, appears an extended account of the proposed concession to Tarpey and Bennett that the Minister of Public Works, Colonization and Industry of Mex- ico has recommended for passage by the Congress of his country. 3 The concession is made to Tarpey an Benaett or to any company they n}ay form and gives them the entire fishing privileges. of the Mexican coast on the Pecific Ocean, contingent on_their: build- ing and operating a steamship line be- tween Mexico and China and another line for coast trade. The company. is to be free from taxa- tion of any kind and is to be allowed to land passengers anywhere on the Mexican coast whichds more than 1000 miles in ex- tent. The wording of the concession enume- rates all thatgwas set forth in the Chinese circular issued by Tarpey ‘and Bennett et al. in January last. A significant feature in the proposed concession is the one that gives the com- pany two vears !ll';li “i}’lich to build and te its steampship lines. og;!:?s proviso lcrtgks suspicious in the face of the appeal by the Chinese diplomats that the exclusion laws be suspended for that time “just as an experiment to se¢ <5 | demand that the Chinese exciu- sion law shall be re-enacted in or- der to protect the interests of tac | workingmen of the United States, news comes from Mexico that a bold plan is ‘being carried out in order that hordes of Orientals may be allowed to land in this country. | M. F. Tarpey, the well-known Demo- cratic politician, and John E, Bennett, the attorney for Ho Yow, the Chinese Consul General, are the leaders in a plan which, unless immediately blocked, will flood the United States with thousands of Chinese via the border line of Mexico. In January of this year Tarpey was the president of the Pacific Charter Company, that claimed to have from the Mexican Govcrnment to estab- lish stedmship lines between Mexico and China for the purpose of colonizing the | Mexican republic with 1,000,000 coolfe la- borers, but in reality to ailow the Chi- nese_to slip over the Mexican bordersinto the United States. The expose of the scheme by The Call and the denial by the Mexican authorities at the time that Tarpcy and his asso- ciates had received any concessions, as | claimed, effectually Llocked the bold scheme. | When in January last Tarpey and his confreres sought to secure capital for their proposed colonization and fishing concessions in Mexico thousands of circu- lars, printed in Chin.se, were scattered | in Chinatown and in the Oriental quarters | of all large American cities. The plans of Tarpey's company are al- most identical with the proposed conces- | sion, that is likely to be granted by the Congress of Mexico at any day. According to_the Chinese circular issued last January Tarpey and his friends in- tended to bring from China to Mexico more than 1,000,000 coolies. Just® how many were to remal: in Mexico Tarpey did not state. It is a well-known fact that the Chinese have no desire to settle in Central America. or South America. The United Statés 't good enough- for them, for here are their friends and rela- | tives, who have made fortunes in many trades and callings. With an influx of Or entals into Mexico it would be an impossible task for the | American authorities to prevent the | coolfes from flocking across the line into the United States. Ir fact, it would re- quire an army of huge proportions to | guara the border. \ | Bait for Chinese Investors, | According to tie articles of incorpora- | tion filed on December 15, 1900, in the of- | fice of the County Clerk the following | were interested with Tarpey in his Mexi- lcan colonization scheme: v Michael F. Tarpey, Alameda; L. K. Kent- { well, Honolulu; Arthur B. Tarpey, ‘Alameda; | John . Bennett, Berkeley; K. E. Harrington, | Oakland. | The capital stock was ta be $12,500,000, divided into 500,000 shares of the par value of $25 each. The circuiar issued a year ago to the Chinese people in their ovn ! language told clearly the objects of the Tarpey scheme. The Chinese circular, translated into English, is as follows: The Pacific Charter Company proposes on be- half of the Mexican Government to encourage Chinese s well as Europeans to come to Mex- | fco and have special privileges, At present IMULTANEOUS with the popular ¥ = o | = POLITICIAN AND ATTOLAEY WHO ARE LEADERS IN'THE MOVE- MENT TO SECURE CONCESSIONS FROM THE MEXICAN GOVERN- MENT, WITH OBJECT OF FLOODING STATES WITH CHINESE. e — there s but very little commerce between how it will work.”’' By that time Tarpey Mexico and Asia and a new steamship com- pany is needed to take hold of the-trade and build it up. The Pacific Charter Company of Mexico has made a contract to open-a new steamship line between Mexico and Chinasand all goods from Mexico to China will be shipped on this line. > According to concession or contract the Mex- ican Government promises to give the Pacific Charter Company all rights to fish on the Mex- ican coast line. This concession includes salt fish, dried fish and shrimp and canning. 'To do this grest fishing: business: Chinese are Je sired. and wide. There is plenty of room for a million Chinese fishermen. There is plenty of all kinds of fish and shrimp. Near the beach the land fs very rich and one can raise all kinds of vege- tables, fruit and sugar cane and.coffee. The climate is very good and warm, that of Hongkong. The rainy season is good and does not Jeave the surface of the ground mushy. There is no_sickness. There is a space of 4000 miles of Pacific coast in Mexico. The president of the company, M. F. Tar- pey, has resided in Mexico about ten years. He'is a friend of the Mexican President and his officirs and knows all the fishing places. He knows all about land and water rights, having. traveled several years in Mexico. Tempting Offers Are Made. The ‘Pacific Charter Company has made a contraet with China and the Mexican Govern- ment to admit free of duty for fifty years all Chinese necessaries, such as tea, rice, etc. In one year steamships will be running between ports in -Mexico and to China. There is a steamship company in- this city now willing to take both fishing and exporting business. The name of the company is the Pacific Char- ter Company. Rich men from New York are in the steam- ship company, but the laborers and fishermen are expected to come from China. The fisher- men from China are expected to come in groups of fifteen to twenty, each group to have a foreman, The company gives the foreman license to fish and shows him where to fish, The company cannot buy tie fish or import Chinese goods into Mexico, The Chinese mer- chants in San Franoisco, througl the foremen, do all this. All the company wants is the like These fishing grounds are good, large ™ and Bennett would have'their steamship lines operating and exclusion laws would fall to keeP the hordes of Mengolians from crossing the border of Mexico into the United States. A prominent member of the local Mexi- can colony, in-speaking of the matter, sald yesterday: My country has no objection to_the Chinese for' we have a large territory to fill. But our Government does not understand the Chinese as the Americans do. ‘We possibly have about 5000 Chinese in Mexico. The Government evi- dently took the tempting bait offered by Tar- pey &nd Bennett and is likely to secure the passage of the bill by our Congress. You cannot get a Chinese to remain in Mex- jco if he sees the slightest chance to get into the United States. They have their relatives in America and have heard how quickly wealth is made in this big republic. This talk of fishing privileges and canneries to be erected is simply a blind to the eyes of our Government, Of course there had to be some excuse to land hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Mexico and what more plausible than that of the fishing privileges and can- neries. For one Chinese that might remain in Mexico, ninety would slip across the border into America. 1f this country does not wish to see a Chi- nese invasion via the border line of Mexico it must take immediate steps. A friendly sug- gestion by the American Government to the Mexican republic that the proposed concession to Tarpey and Bennett is objectionable would, without doubt, secure the rejection of the grant. Chinese Guarantee $1,000,000. It is freely hinted at in certain quarters that the Chinese residents in America have guaranteed more than $1,000,000 toward the proposed plan of Tarpey and Bennett and that the money will be put up as soon as the concession is secured from the Mexican Government. ‘With a line of steamships running from China to Mexico and with the knowledge that it is almost impossible to guard the American-Mexican border, the Chinese are not likely to worry much as to how to evade the extension of the exclusion laws. e e a2 e o S 2 2 2 2 3 e 2 o | | lCHAEGES JOEN H.

Attempt at Fusion Between Union Labor and Demo- cratic Parties. Nominated to Serve California, For- mer Santa Rosa Lawyer Becomes Nothing More Than Exam- iner’s )fouthpiece. —_ Thomas J. Geary, chairman of the Cal- ifornia Chinese exclusicn convention, has announced the commitiees to serve this State and coast in the broadest and most vital movement that has ever engaged tne attention of the citizers of this and sis- ter coast States. One glance at the per- sonnel of the commission appointed wiil disclose instantly how Thomas J. Geary, intrusted with a general and honest duty, has prostituted himself and the cause of the State on the altar of politics. Knowing full well irom a purview of Thomas J. Geary’s political career and his record in the Noms cases what was likely to happen, The Call predicted that out of his narrow-mindedness he wou'd sacrifice the beat interests of the public for the satisfaction of those who made of him their mouvthpiece and their puppet during the proceedings of the convention lately concluded. Here are the names of the Commission- ers of California to *Wushington: Andrew Furuseth, ex-Governor James H. Budd, Truxton Beale, James D. Phelan and Ed- ward J. Livernash. All parties have by right the claim of equal representation on these commit- tees, yet there is but a single Republican named among the Commissioners, against four Democrats. Truxton Beale is the single one who is not of Thomas J. Geary's own political persuasion. The commission is really an Examiner’s nomination. Edward J. Livernash is an employe of the Examiner. Thomas J. Geary took the orders that issued from the Examiner building, obeying every one of its behests and declaring from the platform sentiments and opinions molded and formed by his master. So mendacious and at the same time so patent in iftent are these appointments by the man who was selected to do a gen- eral service for the people of the coast the lines. Thomas J. Geary intends with his fellows to do politics at some future day and this is the means they take. It is nothing more nor less than an attempt at fusion between the Democrats and the Union Labor party. Between them they hope to ride the horse of exclusion to fu- ture political preferment. The secretary of the commissioners of California to Washington, though not of- ficlally named, is to be J. McLaughlin, sec- retary of the Brotherhood of Teamsters. Geary, who has denied all lawyers who have had Chinese for clients the privilege of speaking at the convention, has done his first partisan work for himself—Geary, the man who has had more Chinese busi- ness of a non-exclusion nature than all the rest of the attorneys who represent the Mongols. s it COMMISSIONERS ARE NAMED.

The saloon of Penther & Cordes on the northwest corner of Bryant and Fourth streets was entered by burglars Sunday night. Penther clpsed the establishment shortly before midnight. Several hours afterward a special policeman who passed the saloon ‘discovered a bar which pro- tected the transom in a watering trough near the saloon and commenced an inves- tigation. He found that the transom had been removed and calling two of the reg- ular police officers entered the place. A slot machine had been dprled open with the aid of a “jimmie”’ and $10 in cash taken. The register behind the bar had also been opened, but fortunately it contained but a small amount °f change. Several bot- tles of whisky and a quantity of tobacco was dlso carried away by the robbers. —_——— Purse-Snatcher Held. Charles Morris was held to answer be- fore the Superior Court by Judge Conlan yesterday on a charge of grand larceny in $2000 bonds.

He ran, but was captured by De- tectives Harper and Armstrong. ——— Rob Cash Register. Three thieves entered a saloon at 110Sec- ond street about 7 o'clock last evening and while two of them attacked Joe Cole- man, one of the proprietors of the place, the other robbed the cash register. They only succeeded in getting a small amount of money. Coleman was severely beaten on the head.

O YOW TALKS 70 UNITERIANS Chinese Exclusion Forms Subject for Long Debate. The Unitarian Club listened last evening to a debate betwen picked orators con- cerning the re-enactment of the Ilaw which excludes Chinese from the Lnued} States. The champions of continuing the present policy of exclusion were Mayor | Phelan and Thomas J. Geary. The other | side was taken by Chinese Consul Ho Yow and Dr. Fryer of the University of Cali- fornla. President Gregory of the Uni- tarian Club presided at the debate, which took place after a dinner in the Mer- chants’ Club rooms. Business and profes- sional men listened and applauded lber- ally. Phelan opened the discussion. He safidiv:;t execlusiolzl was the settled policy of the United States and had peen suci for twenty years. At the time of the adoption or tne surlingame treaty there | was an opinion that cneap Chinese labor would _help Calitornia. W ithin tem or twelve years from tnat period there was a marked change in public sentiment. W henl the first restriction act was adopted Con- gress acted clearly in obedience to the will of the peopl.. The Chinese Govern- ment by treaty consented to the exclusion of the Chinese from this country. . . There was no question that the Unite States had power to exciude any undesir- able class of immigrants. Paupers and contract labor from Europe were sent pack. Chinese labor was both pauper and contract. It came to the United States under the patronage and practical owner- ship of the Six Companies. The quesut;)ln was whether the Chinese were d_’esln % as citizens of the United States? Whal 2 o this country? It was settled by men Who sought freedom #nd the cornerstone of the Government was equality in citizen- hip. P owd slavery spirit.

China had 350,000,000 peo- ple steeped in poverty, who could not buy the products of American mills. He quoted figures to show that 30,000 white men who might take the place of 30,000 Chinese would spend more than double the value of the annual exports of San Francisco to China. Dr. Fryer closed the debate. He ad- mitted that the United States could ex- clude whom it chose to exclude, but per- haps there would be an objection if the Chinese Government should exclude Americans from China.
