A substitute for celluloid is now
being produced from urtanned leather
boiled in oil, which is said to resemble
celluloid in every particular. 1t is
known as marloid and shows tex

QUEER CASE OF ID CH In !.



a peculiar question has arisen in
the case of a Chin aman. Ian B. Blew,
a resident Of aStaunton Nv IS Dew had
been in this country about ls years,
had accumulated considerable prop
erty in the Virginia town and was
well regarded by the citizens there.
Some time ago he took ont ma tnral-
1zat1on papers and supposed himself
citizen Of the United States.
He decided later to visit his home
in China. and made application tosthes
state department for passport,
which was sent him, the offcialsSpot
recognizing his nationality by HIS
name. With the passport IN his pos
session Dew sailed away, and in.
course of time returned by way Of
Canada. At Montreal he was sim
formed by the United States Chinese
inspectors that he could not enter the
United States, as he had not com piled.
with the law by taking with him ian.
official certificate showing that he
was entitled to return. gyasss
Dew's wife and children are still at
Staunton, and while his admission in
to the United States would be a tech
meal violation of law, Assistant Secre-
tary Taylor has ordered the United
States inspectors in Canada to- per-
NIT him to return to his home. His
case will be passed upon by Off
Gals here
The cases of nine other. Cinnamon
of Jacksonville, Fla, have been
brought to the attention of the de-
partment. They had been residents.
of Jacksonville nine years and had
accumulated considerable property in
the laundry business Some days ago a
United States marshal arrested them
on the ground that they werelillegal-
~ in this country. The Cinnamon
said their certificates had been lost,
and as they could not produce them
they were thrown in jail. Many cit
liens of Jacksonville have protested
against the action of the marshal .
The department has had number
of cases recently of Chinese being ar
rested without sufficient cause, and in
some cases it is thought the arrests
were made to enable the arresting Of
ficer to get a free ride to San Fran
cisco and return: in case they were or
dered .3deported. These suspected
cases will be very carefully looked in
to hereafter by the Washington au-
thorities. .~

A SPEEDY TRIAL

II Is the General Opal IN that Mex

Demands of the State Depart

Superintendent Hartman of the Mex
lean Central. returned to Chihuahua
this morning after visit to his wife
at the Orndorff. Mr. Hartman says he
hopes to see Engineer Lewis, who is
in Jail in .iuareZ. have Il speedy trial
and expects to see him released when
the facts are put before the court.
Lewis is no more at fault for the
than you ar l. he said this morning
whole affair. We have every evidence
foot was cut oil and he will not be able
to throw the blame on any one.
Mr.. Hartman thinks that since the
matter has been brought to the at
tention of the state department at
Washington Lewis will be released
without trial and that no similar cases
will he heard OF soon.
The law il not at fault" said Mr..
Hartman. but individuals are at the
bottom of it. The state department
at the City OF Mexico does not know
of these cases and if it did every man
in Jail in Mexico now would be released
on short notice. The laws of Mexico
are all right. but some of the Judges
take these things in their own hands
ana proceed without the law"
While Consul kenrdick was promis-

WORDS OF PRAISE
FL paSO FIRE DEPARTMENT COM
pLiMENTED IN HIGH TERMS.
Captain Smith. the We'll Known In
surance Adjuster, Says 1t Is the
Most EffiCi n IN Texas

Captain Sam o. Smith, fire in
surance adjuster for Trezevant and
Cochran of Dallas is in the city and
stated to the Herald this morning as
follows:
In all my experience in Texas and
other states | have never yet seen SO
little property destroyed by fire as in
Ell Paso.
This is due entirely to the efficiency
of your fire department. Your depart
ment has done some work here that is
not appreciated By the public in gen
eral. but which bears commendation.
Take for instance that fire in the rear
of Nagley and Lyons undertaking es-
adjustment on the evening of the 24th
of October. Their were two bales of eX-
celsior in that room besides any
amount of light stuff that would burn
very easily and it was myracle that
the room where the fire started was
saved Still it was done and the FL
Paso fire department is continually do
ing such work.
1t shows that the men are under the
business and that the men are willing
and hard workers. II also shows that
the department is well equipped.
You can't praise the FL Paso fire
depa-t tnent too high. in my opinion.
for they certainly deserve every thing
nice that can be said about them
When it is taken into consideration
who the gentleman quoted above is. it
may be seen that he is responsible for
every word he says. Captain Smith is
an old insurance adjuster and travels
all over this state and often into other
states anG knows what he is talking
aboIt.
In the last three years FL Paso has
not been visited by fire that has done
over $1,000 damage and still there have
been any amount of blaZes that. had it
not been for the great work of the de-
pearment would have caused a loss of
several times that amount
