 The bill was promptly turned down. Then Collector Dillon went to Captain Bloom and proceeded to express his thoughts. Captain Bloom also gave his opinion in clear tones and good En- gish. A dispute leading to ugly words arose and to end the matter, MT. Dill lon, it is said, ordered Captain Bloom to leave his post as captain of the guards and ride the lines like a private.
 Mr Dillon, being first in authority al this port, of course Captain Bloom obeyed the order and today is doing guard duty along the river. The state ment is out, however, that Captain Bloom has appealed to the authorities at Washington for a hearing, and is awaiting a reply.

MRS. CosTELLo's CASE
In Which She Has Turned Upon Her
 Attorneys.

A curious phase of the case of Mrs. S. C. Costello against her husband, J.. H. Costello, for separate maintenance, was presented in district court yester- day. Mrs. Costello began this action early in the present year and after a hearing she was awarded attorney $ fees and alimony of s2OO month while the case was hanging fire. At that time her attorney was Thomas Arm strong, Jr. Subsequently and for no req son publicly explained, Frazier McCor- mick and Westcott were employed.
 The petition forming the basis of the case heard yesterday was signed by At tolney w. H. English and prayed for a restoration to Mrs. Costello of $2OO re- ceived by her late attorneys from the clerk of the court under the order.
 Some light is thrown on the case by the affidavit of Judge Mccormick, who said that when the case was brought to his firm by the plaintiff it was under taken with reluctance, and only after an understanding that the firm should receive a certain fee for obtaining a divorce for her. At that time the ali mony had not been paid. It was sub sequently collected. The plaintiff called at the office of her attorneys and eX- pressed no dissatisfaction with the ar rangement. but stated to them that she needed more money than her share cf the alimony. for the reason that she had pawned jewelry in New York worth about $1 900. and that the time of redemption was fast approaching. Judge Mccormick said that upon this representation the money was ad- vanced to her. The trouble came when she called to receive her share of the August payment. She refused to ac- cept the amount of $6O rendered her in order to square her account with her attorneys. On the contrary. she indlS- nantly discharged them. tore up the re- ceipt presented for her signature and went out of the office.

ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS
Gross the Line at Fl Paso Trouble
 in the Line Service.

It appears that the end of the immi- grant situation at this port is not yet neither is it in sight, says the Fl Paso News. The Italians are giving the riv- CT guards and the immigrant inspector a-plenty to do, and openly threaten to enter the United States if it takes all summer.
 Sometime during Friday night twen- ty Italians escaped from the Juarez camps and wandered up the river and crossed the line.
 Putnam and Roy, of the river guard force. struck their trail near the smell ter and following, recaptured them at Lanark. They gave the command about face and drilled the Italians, seventeen in number, back to Fl Paso.
 Chinese Inspector Mehan got on the trail of the other three and captured them at Lordsburg, returning here with them last night.
 There are yet several missing and their whereabouts is not known to the inspectors.
 The Italian immigrant situation has added more trouble to the roles of cer- tain officials and employees of the gov crnment at this port, and day by day new characters appear in the caste of the comedy.
 Cases are numerous where friction exists among the federal company. Trouble ensued Saturday. Collector Dillon was the star. with Captain Hen ry Bloom, of the river guards, as sec end gentleman.
 The affair 1t is said grew ont Inf tho Italian immigrant situation and result ed Tn Collector Dillon reducing Captain Bloom to the ranks.

Young Edward to-day stated that the
letter demanding n ransom was hurled
into the yard by his abductors before
they left the neighborhood of his
home. That was Tuesday, December
18th. This has given rise to some
curious speculation, for the reason that
the letter was dated December 10Th,
that is to say, the following day,
Wednesday morning. 1t was Wednes
ady morning that the letter was found
in the front yard. If the bandits wrote
the letter and threw it into the yard
Tuesday night they dated it ahead. The
theory of the Cudahy family is that
they knew the letter would not be
found until Wednesday morning and
therefore gave it the Wednesday date.
The letter was unsigned and the
statement made shortly after its dis
covery that 1t was signed Jack was
an error.
