CHINESE EXCLUSION
A Source of Profit to Government
Officials

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-Col. J. Thomas
Scharf, Chinese inspector for the South
ern District of New York has sent to
the Secretary of the Treasury his resig-
nation, TO take effect October Is. He
says, in his opinion, based on four years
OF practical experience and close OBJ
servation, that the Chinese exclusion
act Is farce and hasresulted in the cor
ruption of the Treasury Department.
Col. Scharf is an eX-ofIicer of the Con-
federate army and a fighter. He was
appointed Chinese inspector in 1898 un-
der the Cleveland administration. and
Immediately after his arrivel here pre-
ferre d charges against customs officers,
whom he accused of assisting in the
smuggling of Chinese. He has never sue
ceeded in bringing about the dismissal
Of any of the men he has accused. He
says his failure in that direction was
caused by the influence of the Canadian
Pacific in high quarters.
He talked freely on the subject last
night. He said fraud exists and that he
has good reason to believe that men in
the employ and confidence of the gov
ernment are making $4,000 year each
from the illegal Importation of Chinese
The corruption, he believes, from evil
dence in his possession, girdles the con-
tinent. Cinnamon who have no right to
come are admitted all along the Cana
dian border, at the port of New York
at Seattle and other points along the
Pacific Coast. He expects to see some
revelations which will startle the coun
try. The investigating committee of
Congress. already provided for, begins
it's work this winter
