charged with violation of the fed
eral law prohibiting the taking

The statute which Merry vio
lated was recently passed by con- ;
gress for the purpose of protect

del* tin- old system men were con- !
linunlly shanghied on the Pacific
coast, and often shipp d on in- ;

es. The abuses under the old
system became so notorious I hat
public sentiment compelled the
passing of a stringent law for
jllie pndecl ion of I lie sailors.
