CHINESE FORCE
WELBURN' SEAL
Bogus Certificates Are
Found Upon Snug

Bear Fac-Simile of Stamp
Used by Former Revenue
Collector.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1.-There were devel-
opments of an interesting nature In the
Chinese smuggling cases to-day, and after
telegraphic communication between the
Collectors office in this city and the Dis
trict Attorneys office in Los Angeles the
order came to place Tom Wing CheW'
alias Lee Cheong, under arrest. The Mon
golian has been indicted already for aid
Ing and abetting Chinese In their eIIorlS
to avoid the exclusion laws and was out
under $1,000 bail, with Chinese as surety.
The discoveries of this morning make II
evident that he was concerned In Ine
bringing into this country of three chi
nese VINO were arrested on Saturday, two
of whom were ordered depOrted on Mon
day. Collector Bowers and Chinese In
spector You went to the Jail and searched
the effects of the Chinese and found full
they should act on arriving in Los An
geles, to which city they were purchaS-
ing tickets when arrested. The letters
to meet the three when they reached the
Angel City, and they are all signed by Lee
Cheong.
In the letters it was said that the bear
ers were strangers in the country and
should be taken care of until they could
be sent forward to San Francisco. There
was also copy of a telegram which the
Los Angeles Chinese was to send to Lee
Cheong's brother in San Francisco as
soon as the three were satisfactorily
started for the metropolis
On the request of District Attorney Val
entine at Los Angeles, Lee Cheong's bail
was raised in the former case from $1,000
to $4,000 by the Federal court and Depu-
ty United States Marshal Place was di-
rected to take him into custody. He was
found in Chinatown and made an 1nehect-
uul effort to escape A new complaint
will be sworn to in the morning by Col
lector Bowers. charging Cheong with aid
ing and abetting the adveFt OF the three
Mongolians and, if held, there will be
another case for the Federal Grand Jury.
The three Chinese are supplied with
fraudulent certificates of residence in this
country. all of which purport to have
been made out and signed in 1894 when
all Chinese were compelled to register.
These certificates were supposed to give
some of the characteristic marks of the
Chinese registered and to carry the photo
graphs of the men. The seal of the In
ternal Revenue Collector was so placed
that it stamped the photograph as well
as the certificate, and it was evidently
thought that this would prevent the
changing of the photographs. Chinese die
as well as other people. and it is claimed
by the customs officials that the certifi-
Gates of the dead as well as of those who
have returned to China to remain are kept
for use by such other Chinese as may de-
sire to come over. Old photographs are
soaked off and new ones substituted.
In order to get around the matter of the
seal. a bogus seal has been made. 1t is
a fac-simile of 20. NJ. Welburn, Internal
Revenue Collector, who was in charge of
the revenue district of California when
the certificates were first issued.
