TALK SUCCESSOR TO HOUGHTON POLITICIANS OF SIXTH WARD GET BUSY DEMOCRATS HOLD FULL SWAY Republican Organization May Join With Other Side In Electing a Suitable Man to Fill Vacancy Politicians in the Sixth wnrd are busy discussing and planning for the com ing campaign to nelect ex-Councilman Houghton's successor. Among Hough ton's old supporters there Is not the unison that once prevailed; at least, a few of those who shouted loudest for the ex-representatlve of the Sixth, both In the recall campaign and the last mu nicipal election, are snld to be willing to face the starter in the coming race. Judge H. Q. Hentlg, one of the orig inal Houghton men, It Is said, has a desire rather well established to see how a chair in the city council cham ber would fit. The councilmanlc bee Is buzzing around many ol the heads of prominent Sixth ward clubites. The Democrats are busy. Capt. George M. Cake of the Democratic city central committee has seized the op portunity literally by the forelock, and expects to have the Democrat commit teemen of the ward organized for busi ness in a day or two. Just who the choice of the Demo crats will be is not yet known, but the commltteemen are considering the names of several strong men. Poli ticians throughout the city declare that the nomination of a Democrat, well and favorably, known In the ward, means victory for that party in the coming contest. . Aspirants for the Republican nomi nation In the ward are busy, but tho organization has not yet taken action, and It is hinted that it will join forces with the Democrats in an effort to elect a man to represent the Sixth ward in the council. In the recent municipal election tho two parties split the vote of the con servative element in the ward and thus allowed Houghton to be elected. The Republicans admit the Sixth ward Is Democratic, and many men prominent In that party have declared themselves in favor of leaving the field clear to the apostles of Thomas Jefferson.

ATTACHES TO INVESTIGATION Police Commission and Officials Have ■ Been Summoned Before It, and Opinions Differ as to "The Reason Which" Something is doing In the grand jury room which appears to have a decid edly municipal flavor. Yesterday Police Commissioners O. T. Johnson and Mason were summoned as witnesses before the grand jury. Later, Police Captain Auble and Charles Elton, ex chlef of police, were closeted -with that body. The subjects which were discussed were carefully guarded, but certain whisperings were heard which Indicate that the recent action of the board of police commissioners in violating one of Its own rules was discussed. Commissioners Johnson and Mason demanded that the law be enforced and Tom Doran, proprietor of the Bud weiser saloon on South. Main street, be given the limit. The mayor and Commissioners Gates and James thought otherwise, however, and the saloonkeeper, despite the fact that he had been convicted of selling liquor to minors, escaped punishment. It .was also hinted that the questions asked were in relation to the testimony given before the police commission by Policeman Ingram in regard to the same case. Still another story was to the effect that the question under discussion dealt with gambling in Chinatown. YELLOW FEVER CASES AT ISTHMIAN CANAL By Associated Press.

CHINESE APPEAL TO PRESIDENT COMPLAIN OF HUMILIATION TO TRAVELERS FIND ENTRY IS DIFFICULT Members of Exempt Classes Declare Partiality Is Shown In En. forcement of the Ex. elusion Laws By Associated Presa. WASHINGTON, June 14.— President Roosevelt la manfesttng a deep Inter est In the statements made to him last Monday, by a delegation of members of the American Asiatic association con cerning the difficulties which hitherto have been experienced by Chlneee mer chants, students, travelers and literary men In Raining ndmlssion to this coun try. The complaints of the Chinese gov ernment about the alleged humiliation to which members of those classes of Chinese often are subjected upon their arrival In the United States, to gether with the threats of the commer cial guilds of China to retalllate by boycotting American made goods, have aroused the business men of this coun try to protest against what they have regarded as unreasonable discrim ination In the enforcement of the Chi nese exclusion laws. . In a letter to Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor the president directs him to see that the Immigration officers exercise discretion In the enforcement of the exclusion law, to the end that the relations of this government with China may con tinue to be cordial. It is pointed out that great difficulty Is experienced by the immigration officials in executing the law, because of the many bogus certificates which are presented by Chi nese. It is a well-understood fact that for a consideration a Chinese coolie may procure in China a certificate that he Is a merchant or traveler or a member of other exempt classes. On Its faoe the certificate entitles him to admis sion to the United States. So many frauds have been discovered In tha matter of these certificates that t!-e immigration officials examine all of them most carefully. That fact ac counts for the trouble experienced by genuine merchants, travelers, etc., when they arrive at United States ports. Thus far no feasible plan has been worked out to remedy the trouble of which the Chinese complain. Secretary Metcalf Is in favor of congressional legislation on the subject, providing for a rigid provision of the issuance of the certificates in China, the idea beinjr to hold absolutely responsible for the accuracy of the statements contained in the certificates the officials who is sue them.
