in Arizona when William NJ. Hoey, col-
lector Of customs at Nogales; b. r..
Jossey, an immigrant Inspector;
Frank How, Chinaman living in
Nogales, and another Chinaman living
at Clifton, Mexico, just across the bor-
der from Nogales, were taken into Gus
tody by special agents of the treasury
and secret service operatives. Other
arrests are expected to follow within
day or two.
Many Involved In Plot.
It is stated that with two or three
exceptions the whole customs and i'm
migration administrations at Nogales
are involved. Some time ago an Of
fetal of the treasury department hav-
ing Nogales as his headquarters wrote
the department that he had reason to
believe the official force at that point
was corrupt, and that Chinese in large
numbers were being struggled across
the border for consideration. A Sc
cret service operative was sent there
at once and plans laid to secure evil
dence against the persons under sus-
picion.
Chinamen Used as Detectives.
;Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50 to
5000. The secret service men also ar
ranged with one or two employees
whose honesty had been tested to go
into the collectors Office at a certain
time and demand share of the money
beng received from Cinnamon and to
be admitted into the combination, so
that they might get their share of the
proceeds of future deals. This was re-
luctantly agreed to and considerable
sums of money were handed over in
the presence and full hearing of Sc
cret service man who had previously
secreted himself in a nearby Office
closet. The officials soon found that
Cinnamon who presented a certificate
marked with the letter A were allowed
to proceed without question, while
those having certificates that did not
bear this cabalistic mark were turned
back without ceremony.
Later on it was developed that the
letter A on certificate indicated that
the amount demanded had been paid.
Several Cinnamon were sent through
with the requisite A mark on their GER
tificates made by one of the secret
service men. The utmost care and se-
crecy was maintained from the first to
secure positive proof against each man
under suspicion. A special United
States attorney will be detailed to
prosecute the persons arrested.
Hoey was appointed collector about a
year and half ago.
The number of Cinnamon who have
bought their way into the United
States through the connivance of the
Nogales officials is not known, but it
is believed to be large. A special agent
has been ordered to Noga1es to take
charge of the office if he finds it nee
essary.

authority for the statement that such
a consolidation will be attempted. He
said today:
I consider the consolidation both
possible and practical. and. While
aware that an effort is being made to
buy up the plants in Wisconsin, We
have not been approached BY the pro-
mOters"
II is said to be the plan to control
eventually the malleable iron industry
of the country. Some of the plants
have not been making a profit. and
they viii be closed should this trust be
formed. BY combining the different
plants and controlling the industry
larger profit is promised. The mall
leable iron industry covers many
classes Of work. and in making each
plant a certain department the output
can be handled more economically.
Owners of the different plants look
with favor on the plan, for they are
promised high saIaried positions in the
trust.

A Tribute to Hiss Thayer.
Ny DEAR Mr.. STONE =

My DEAR Mr.. STONE:-
In the issue of the CALIFORNIAN of Feb
ruary 81 there is brief but appreciative
obituary notice of Miss Catharine L.
Thayer of your village. | desire to bear
a sincere tribute OF kind regards to her
memory. No person within my re-
membranes ever came to the home of
my boyhood in times of sorrow and
sickness with such tender ministries of
loving sympathy and helpfulness. AS
much as any person l ever knew, she
followed the example of her Master in
not going about to be miuistered unto,
but to minister. Material wealth she
had not to bestow, but she gave most
generously of herself in loyal and loving
service.
The friends she made in her younger
days she always kept, and I am sure
everyone who knew her will say "She
hath done what she could"
How many to whom she was so help
full on earth and who have preceded her
to the skies must have welcomed her as
she passed through the gates, and what
a Joy it must have been to her to hear
her Saviour say "Inasmuch as We have
done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren ye have zone it unto me-"

Bishop Parker Gaining.

The many friends of Rev. DR.. E. w.
Parker of Lucknow, missionary bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
India, will be glad to learn that he is
slowly gaining. Two months ago he
was considered in very critical condi-
ton, but a letter just received brings
more cheering news. Miss Emily ]. Har-
vey, now stationed at Agra, has written
a letter to her St. Johnsbury friends
which will be printed in the CALIFORNIAN
next week, but we give space gladly this
week to that part of the letter relating
to news from Bishop Parker. Under
date of Feb. S she writes:
Received brief word late last night
that Bishop Parker seems to be coming
up. How wonderful. A Divine meaning
surely in bringing him so low and ther
to restore. On, if he can only be raised
up to comparative degree of health and
strength just at this critical time in oul
work, what rejoicing there will be il
India. Let us pray much for it."

Railroad Notes.

The Boston & Maine have ordered 20
new consolidation engines to haul freight
on the Fitchburg division. They are
eight wheelers, the weight on the drivers
is 143, 900 pounds and the tender weighs
10000 pounds. The latter has a tank
capacity of 5000 gallons and carries
10 tons OF bituminous coal. The fire
box is directly over the rear driving
wheels, thereby increasing the CRATE area
over SO per cent, and by the use of two
fire doors the fuel can be distributed
more evenly.
