HINDU STUDENT EXCLUDED
-------------------

Refused Admission by Immigration Officials at
Victoria.

-------------------

Victoria, May 11.—Ram Chand, a young Hindu student who is said to
have resided in Vancouver and Victoria at different periods for about five
years, reached here yesterday on the Sanuki Maru, but was refused
permission to land and had to proceed to Seattle. When he left for the Orient
last June he obtained a letter from L. M. Fortier, chief clerk of the immigration
department at Ottawa, setting forth that he was entitled to return to Canada.
Mr. Fortier signed the letter as the superintendent of immigration but
nevertheless the officials here declined to recognize it.
