with Deadly Effect.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-James d..
Cbilds was shot and killed by John
Miller, a carpenter, on Clementina
street this afternoon, while attempting
to prevent the latter from committing
another murder. Crazed by jealousy
and drink, Miller called at the resi-
dence of Miss Nellie Ryan, with the in.
tention of killing her. His first shot,
fred at her as she opened the door to
admit him, missed her. She rushed
into the street and called upon Childs,
who was passing the house, for protec'
ton. He tried to prevent Miller from
shooting again, but, exasperated by his
interference, Miller turned upon him
and shot Childs through the head, kill
ing him. Before he could renew hi
attack upon the girl the murderer wal
arrested.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SMUGGLING
Supervising Special Agent Crowley
Files His Annual Report.

hOpoA
Washington. Nov. 23.-J. j. Crow.
ley, supervising special agsut of the
treasury, in his annual report, devotes
considerable attention to smuggling.
Opium smuggling, the report says, has
decreased largely during the last year,
as the result principally Of the reduc.
tion of the rate Of duty from Sl2 TO SIS
per pound; 1873, $50 pounds OF smoking
opium was imported at San Francisco
during the year 1895, upon which
S9l8,404 was paid in duty. Last year
the amount was 9S, 1875 pounds, upon
which duty s%ggregating 1888. 756 was
paid.
The report shows there has been a
noticeable increase in the smuggling
Of diamonds since the duty on precious
stones was increased by the tariff act
of 1894. A return to the rate of duty
provided in the act Of 1890, Mr.. Crow
ley says, would be in favor of the rev.
enue and of the legitimate trade.
During the past year 3, 1855 Chinese
persons applied for admission to this
country. OF these, 1921 were in
transit to other countries; 4l5 were re-
, jected and $50 were admitted. The
| number of Chinese arrested for viola
: ton of the exclusion law was 1913, and
. the number deported 1870. Under the
] treaty betweeen the United States and
