It is said the Inspector who re- | ported that Loo Lin, the husband of the young woman, was a ‘‘laborer,” because he owned a restaurant in connectfon with his interests in two mercantile houses, has admitted the possibility of error and de- sires an opportunity for straightening the tangle. His superiors in the New York customs service have expressed a willing- ness to reopen the case and review the evidence. But all this has come too late. The New York World declares the case has got beyond the point where it merely in- volves the right of the Chinese editress to land. The New York customs officials rendered a report upon the standing of Leo Lin, which left the Chinese Bureau | in San Francisco no other alternative than { to refuse his wife a landing. That ends | it so far as the New York and San Fran- cisco offices are concerned, and the Treas- ury Department in Washington will be the scene of future movements in the con- | troversy. When Mrs. Loo Lin is landed, says the World, the next move will be an inquiry into the peculiar methods by | which this case was h; led. The New York Herald, in a review of the case, | says that it is to be called to the atten- | tion of President Roosevelt himself. COMPLAINT.

He said he thought | but was quickly in earnest. Lupton used a foul expression and toid him to “dig up.” At that in- stant the footpad grabbed the old man by the throat, and In the struggle Lupton shot Gilleece in the thigh, shattering the bone. Gilleece stated that he lost con- sciousness and knew nu more until he reached the hospital. He sald he had 8250 in his pocket and this was gone. Gilleece was closely examined on the main points of his story, but he stuck to the facts. Lupton was captured by Policemen D. J. Keohane and T. F. Slattery close to his victim. Keohane heard the shot and ran to the scene of the shooting. He grappled | with Lupton and the footpad tried to use his pistol. Slattery was attracted by the shot and came to his fellow officer’'s as- sistance, and between the two they sub- dued him. The footpad was taken to the Hall of Justice and charged with robbery and assault to murder. At the conclusion of the examination the prisoner was again handcuffed and taken back to prison. ———,——— 233 235 237 Post Street Wants Her Property Back. Mrs. Josephine J.

With the decision in the Loo Lin case to guide them, there will be no ex- cuse for blundering by immigration in- spectors in similar cases henceforth. “In the mass of rulings that I have gone over,” said Barnes last evening, “there is not one that supplies even the, slightest pretext for a report that a Chi nese merchant is a ‘laborer’ because he happens to own a restaurant in addition to his mercantile business. I cannot fath- om the motive for the action taken in the case of Mrs. Loo Lin, especially as its only result would be to prevent a re- union of husband and wife and bar from these shores a woman who, more than | any other in China, has worked for the | Christian advancement of her sex and has come to America to continue her labors among her countrywomen here.” Meanwhile, not realizing the prominence that has been given her misfortune nor | understanding the causes that have con- | tributed to her long captivity, Mrs. Loo Lin passes long hours in the detention pen weeping over her plight and longing | for the life of luxury her native land.

Graves of the Baptist Mission in Canton, China, conferred with the Treasury De- partment officials to-day regarding the case of Mrs. Loo Lin, the Chinese teacher, now detained at San Francisco. She was could do nothing pending the arrival of papers in the appeal from San Francisco. Mrs. Graves was informed that Mrs. Loo could cable to China for a special certifi- | cate, as provided in section 6 of the ex- clusion law, which would effect her land- fug in this country probably more quickly than by the present long-drawn-out pro- cedure. Final disposition of the case here awaits the arrival of the papers from San ¥rancisco. The Treasury Department, in View of publications in New-York papers criticizing the course of immigration of- fictals, will devote especial attention to this case and may call upon the officials in question for explanations. —_——————————— May our love of the glass never make us cency.
