CORRUPTION CHARGED

In Connection with the Smuggling OF
Chinamen and Opium. Into the United
States at Portland, Ore. tN
TACOMA, Wash, April 90 Sensation
al charges of wholesale smuggling OF
both Cinnamon and opium follow upon
the heels of the stand taken by the
government in refusing to admit China
men on certificates of Identification or
allow Chinese actors, claiming they are
to participate in the worlds fair dis
play of their country to land. 1t now
transpires that the United States otii-
cials have been watching the opium

Tuesday evening demand was made
upon Bob Eigham, local politician
and hotel-keeper, for certain crimi-
mating document held by him, These
papers were part of bundle claimed
by Inspector Coblentz and said to have
been found by Eigham under a bed IL
his house. The bed had been occupied
by Virgil Moore, of Portland, Ore, and
Moore, it is claimed, has been at the
head of the smugglers and one OF the
parties who has had a hand in forging
Chinese passports by the hundred.
Moore's partner in Portland is rela-
tive of a prominent government official,
who, in turn, it is claimed, has come In
for large share of a total of over $780,
900 used annually for over two years In
CARRYING on a wholesale smuggling
business,
Coblentz affiIms that the largest
"divy" known to have been made was
piven United States treasury officials,
who were paid rate of s14, 400 year
with other customs officials who re-
ceived $1,000 and $4,000.
When Coblentz learned the facts he
communicated with the department
officials at Washington city. In tsyine
to bring out more evidence he stumbled
against Eigham, and it is claimed
Eigham refused to give up the bundle
of letters without consideration. Ht
has refused to return them to Moore.
Tuesday night there was talk OF con
fiscating the steamer Haytian Repub
lie, which carried large quantity O
opium and contraband Cinnamon, large
consignments of which were seized
aboard here recently at Portland. A
midnight about half Of the Northern
Pacific steamship Mogups cargo OF ~
Cinnamon had been examined, only \
per cent. Of them being allowed to land
1t was found that upon previous ex
aminations conducted by Collector Was
son, four Cinnamon who were born a
Portland were rejected. This has le'
to the report that Wasson is working
against the Northern Pacific and aid
ing the Canadian Pacific and San Fran
cisco steamship lines, as one OF tn
principal items in carrying on steam
ship business to China is the carryin
of Cinnamon. Many Of those rejecte
failed to give the names OF street
and prominent buildings in cities
which they claim to have previously r.
sided. When their certificates, man
of which were forged, were ignored
they failed in the examination, a
though their Chinese boosters
coached them in answering

TO Canada temporarily, carrying with
him his effects among which was colt

years after and the collector at Cape
Vincent, N. Y, charged him duty ON

that In such circumstances when tho

a Psessing Wand.

A Pressing Want.
EDITORS HERALD Without harping
too much on topic, which from time to
time has been ably urged by the HER
AID, would like to ask why can we not
have some drives?
With a city OF the fairest promise,
unrivaled almost in the United States,
q city replete with charming homes.
business blocks, unending railway facil-
tiles, miles of paved streets and a COM
mercisl future almost dazzling, we have
to admit that we have not q complete
drive or boulevard worthy OF the name.
Our county roads, with few exceptions,
are relics of barbarism, and this in a
section unrivalled for the cneapness of
road-making material.
Like the erection OF our "big hotel"
We hear many promises, but it is almost
impossible to stimulate interest to the
point of immediate action. Without
attempting TO note all needs of this
nature, look at the highways south of the
city, viz. Central avenue, New Main
and Figueroa street. All of these
should be extended where necessary,
regarded. rolled, and even given q sum-
mer sprinklpg, and this last matter is
not go expensive as it is represented to
be. In Santa Clara county there is
magnificent highway over 20 miles in
length, which is kept watered at a small
cost by means of water stations here
and there, and one man covers a sur
prising mileage in O day. This fine drive
is the just pride OF that section. In our
location, on these outlying roads, il a
few wells were put down at intervals
where city service was not available, l
am sure that the residents would cheer
fully stand the extra tax that might be
necessary to keep up the sprinkling
when needed. Most of our mesa soil,
when properly graded, rolled and
sprinkled, becomes as smooth and hard
as the best macadam. Where sand
abounds a top-dressing of clay and
gravel gives the same result, and where
adobs is encountered light top layer
Of sand, well rolled. accomplishes the
end and makes good summer and
winter road. This last last thing has
been done in Santa Barbara county, and
l am told the result is splen-
did, On much of our mesa country
no top dressing will be found necessary,
and 60 or 80 foot highway can be graded
and rolled in irst-cass shape for less
than $40 mile. This / know to he a
fact, as have thie year. at my own ex-
pense, graded over six miles OF highways
on my ranch lands. With the question
OF expense thus reducsd to trivial cost,
compared to other sections, it ought to
be our boast that no section can even
approach us in the matter of drives and
boulevards. Ali that is needed is little
persistent effort i'll the right direction
and we can attain this result. Given a
few fine boulevards for present use. we
can improve the cross roads little latsr.
1t seems TO me that IT,. is demands as
much attention as our prospective man
ufactures. Respectfully,
CARL 4. ROSECRANs.

Some Views on Churches.

EDITORS HERALD i have received q
letter from an officer of the Salvation
army requesting me, as minister of the
Church of the New Era, to ask my con-
gregation to contribute something to-
wards Christmas dinner for the poor.
Our New Era views on the subject of
the increasing poverty and misery orna-
menting cur christian civilization, :"
and the manner in which society should
deal with the subject cumpel me TO de-
cline compliance with said request. The
benevolent and humane purposes and
feelings prompting the socalled 'cbar-
tiles" of our abnormal social system will
be recognized by every generous mind
We are glad such sentiments exist, and
the New Era people are as ready as
others to respond to the pleadings of
hunger and want. Rut we hold that the
"charity" method of dealing with the
poverty question is not only hopeless
failure but positive detriment to so-
ciety and the true interests OF those
whose welfare is sought in the bes tow
ment OF these charities" We hold that
the practice of feeding a helpless
man today and leaving him a helpless
beggar for tomorrow, bat weakens and
degrades the man himself, and only eg-
gravates the disease instead OF curing it.
We hold that the present social and
religious theory of charity coup" for
this world and salvation by proxy" for
the next is erroneous and stands seri-
ously in the way of a true civilization.
Accordingly the Church of the New
Era is taking steps to organize some Co
operative industries and also to provide
an emergency fund, for the two-fold
purpose OF relieving the immediate
wants of the unfortunate and rendering
the only true aid to the unemployed
that is, helping them to help them
selves. Charity, in the spurious sense
of aims giving, has M place in the vo'
csbulary OF the Church Of the New Era.
