SMUGGLING CHINESE.
Inspector Charges Railroad and Government
Officials With So Doing.

Washington. Nov. 29.-Chinese Inspec-
tor Scharf stationed in New York. has
submitted an elaborate report to the sec
rotary of the treasury on the smuggling
of Chinese into the United States. He
makes several specific charges against
United States officials a. the ports of
New York and Malone. n. y.
Those at the latter port he charges. are
in collision with officials of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. and says that through
such collision great numbers of Chinese
are yearly admitted into its territory.
The great extent of the northern border
of the United States has during the past
few years afforded Chinese many oppor-
tunities to surreptitiously enter the
United States. II is almost impossible to
maintain an effective guard along its
great length. and the vigilance exercised
AT most of the ports on the Atlantic and
Pacific has compelled those Chinese who
desired TO smuggle themselves into the
country to rsort to the northern border.
Halifax.
Mr. Schnrf now charges that in Malone,
which IS the customs district Of PlattS-
burg. the officials of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, who encourage Chinese lrave!
on their road. assist. by advice. and in
many cases by actual collision with
United States officials at that port. in
getting the Chinese into the United
States.
His charges against the New York Off
cials are directed more against the prac-
titt VI tNdiulHttlbi, WHICH. he nOluS, al
fords loopholes for Illegal entry of Chin
ese. than against the officials them
selves.
Copies of Inspector Scharf's report.
which has not been made public. have
been sent to the collectors of customs in
New York and Plattsburg N. Y. with
instructions from Acting Secretary Ham,
lin to investigate the charges and critic
isms made by him and report back to
the treasury department the facts found
In case it is found that Mr. Scharf's
charges that officials of the Canadian Pa
citic Railroad are conniving with United
States customs officials. the matter will
he brought to the attention of the British
government. The treasury department
will attend to the cases of its own off,
Gals in Malone should Inspecor Scharf's
allegations prove well founded.
1t is announced that w. B. Howell. spe-
cial employee of the treasury j. j. Crow
ley. chief of the special agents. and John
NJ. Comstock. chief of the customs divi-
sion, will be in New York Monday to
meet the customs officers on duty at the
lake ports and along the Vermont and
New York boundary line. The purpose of
the conference is to arrange for a better
uniformity in carrying out the treasury
regulations and customs laws.
