Letme complete my question to the Senatorfrom Maine. please. which I had half put. The bill provides that a person found without the certificate shall either be imprisoned or sentenced to deportation. of course at the expense of the United States. because the judgment of deportation is to be executed. A later section. section 8. provides that when a Chinese person wishes to depart he shall not be at liberty to depart unless he produces his certificate or shows what in substance is an excuse for the loss of the same. or something of that kind. I wish to ask the Senator from Maine why it is that if a man is departing. leaving the country at his own expense. it is worth while to arrest him and have a trial of him simply for the sake of carrying him out of the country at the expense of the United States.
