the United States senate. He is close on

He is graduate of Jefferson college, but
never became famous as physician, his
early years being given TO newspaper

of millions of revenue every year by or
ganized bands of opium smuqglers; that
many federal customs officials on the
border are corrupted by them, while others
are so stupid as to be useless. The cor

federal officials; Chinese women In herds
are smuggled across the border and sold
into slavery in the United States. In
