The petitioners assert that decedent’s estate is worth $48,000, and medlately.

Aged Mrs. Mary Conway has filed a peppery answer to the petition of her son, Henry F. Conway, for letters of guardianship over her person and estate. It is quite probable that her petition will keep Henry guessing dur- ing the rest of the litigation, and; if she can prove her allegations, his vanquish- ment is a foregone conclusion. Without mincing her terms in the least Mrs. Conway. says that her son is an ex-convict and generally disreput- His assertion that she is 65 years of age and addicted to strong drink, she says, 1s an absolute falsehood, and, on the contrary, she afirms that she is only 55 years of age, in perdect physical and mental health and a very tem- perate woman. Should the time ever come when she does need a guardian her son is the last person in the world, she says, that should be charged with the trust of caring for her. She asserts that he has served a six months’ sentence in prison and that since his release he has been fighting drunk on many occasions, with the result that on his arrival home he would kick down the doors of their home. She concludes by asserting that his only desire is to secure possession of her money on deposit in ‘the Hibernia Bank that he may continue his riotous living without working. —_—————— A good, clean, wholesome medicine, pleasant and agreeable to take, no grip- ing, no pain. ‘Lash’s Bitters. . — ——————————— Charged With Burglary. Herman R. Sanborn was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Detectives Graham end Harrison on a charge of burglary. He is accused of breaking into the room of William Diener, 120 Sixth street, about two weeks ago and stealing a quantity of clothing and other articles. Part of the stolen cloth- ing was found in his room at 3176 Mis- sion street and part had been given by him to Henry Navarret, a friend. ed dlscourteous treatinent of Chinese stu- dents applying for admission to the United Btates. - The student witnesses were dreesed as Americans and had dis- carded the queue. In conformity with the Russianized news-suppressing poliéy of the department, Mr. North announced that the proceedings would be secret and would not be given out to the press; that the depositions would be transmitted to the department at Washington and that their contents would not be made public except at the pleasure of the department. Enough leaked out, however, during the day to make an interesting story illustra- tive of what the complainants term the indiscreet overzeal of some employes of the immigration service, both here and at other ports. The burden of the com- plaint was that when these students ar- rived here, equipped with the necessary certificates, they were treated just as though they were coolies and their certifi- cates forgeries. They did not specifically accuse the of- ficlals of blunt discourtesy, but they complained that they were treated as im- posters or other suspiclous characters, and not with that politeness and consid- eration due to immigrants who had a right to admission. They complained, however, rather bitterly of that spirit of official blindness which prevents immigra- tion officers from distinguishing between an ignorant coolie and a gently reared youth of the upper classes, and of that official deafness which prevents the of- ficial ear from noting the difference in style of speech which exists between the two classes. Being provided with the proper certifi- cates and showing in their dress, manner and speech that they were not members of the coolle class, they resented the in- dignity of being thrown into the crowded detention shed on the Mail dock, where they were herded with coolies and slaves until the ponderouslty slow machinery of the Chinese Bureau had made the re- quired number of revolutions. The students also called attention to the fact that students, merchants and tourists of other natlonalities are treated with courtesy, while discourtesy, lack of consideration and oftentimes brutality are reserved for immigrants of the Chinese race. In reply to a question as to why they had discarded the national queue and as to its sybolism, one of the students made the following statement: ago, before the Manchurlans conquered the Chinese, the people of China dressed in flowing robes, the same as the present national costume of the Japanese, and wore their hair in the same way. The Manchurlans, in order to wipe out traces of Chinese sovereignty, compelled the people to adopt the Manchurian costume “the present costume of the Chinese— and also to wear the hair in a braid, Manchurian fashion and after the style of the pigtalls worn by George Washing- ton and other Revolutionary fathers. The queue and costume of the Chinese of to-day are the badge of submission to the conquerors. In the course of a generation or two the Chinese people forgot the ori- gin of the pigtail and regarded it as a national badge. So they began the prac- tice which prevails at this day of adorn- ing it with silk of bright hues. They even went so .ar in their love of the queue as to term all foreigners ‘‘queueless devils.” But a change is taking place regarding this ornamental appendage, and many of the educated class have discarded the queue. An instance of this change of sentiment was the visit of the Chinese Imperial Commission to the United States recent- ly. several of whose members were queue- less. _—————————— Mental fog has wrecked more fives than the rocks of adversity.
