pounds, as against 100000 pounds in

greatly due to the preferential trade
established.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Probably
the most important arrests ever
made in connection with the snug
Cling of Chinese across the Next
can border into the United States
has been made in Arizona. William
NJ. Hoey, collector of customs, at
Nogales; b. +. Jossey. an immigrant
inspector; Frank How, Chinaman
living in Nogales, and another China
man living at Clifton, Mex, just
across the border from Nogales, have
been taken into custody by special
agents of the treasury and secret
service operatives.
Other arrests are expected to fol-
low within day or two.
1t is stated that with two or three
exceptions the whole customs and
immigration administrations at y
gales are involved. Some time ago
an official of the treasury depart
ment, having Nogales as his head
quarters, 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 secret SER
vice operative was sent there at once
and plans laid to secure evidence
against the persons under suspicion
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 GER
tain time and demand share of
the money being received from China
men and to be admitted into the
combinations so that they might get
their share of the proceeds of fu-
ture deals. This was reluctantly
agreed to and considerable sums of
money were handed over in their
presence ana full hearing of a Sc
cret service man who had previously
secreted himself in a near by Office
closet.
The number of Cinnamon who
have bought their way into the
United States through the alleged
connivance of the Nogales officials
is not known, but it is believed to
be large. A special agent has been
ordered to Nogales to take charge
of the Office if he finds it necessary.

The Superintendent continues: The pro-
posed new law will not permit any transfer
certificates issued. Children will be al
lowed to attend the nearest school without
transfers.
In compiling the above table of appor-
tionments, the amounts received and paid
for transfer certificates by each district were
not considered, for the reason that all trans
fers for the year have not yet been made.
Considering that the amounts paid and re-
ceived for transfers by the respective dis
tricts were about the same as last year,
each Board of Education can estimate the
difference the new plan of apportionment
will make in the amount of school moneys
received by it. For instance, Deptford dis
trict paid last year $685. more that it
received for transfers deducting that
amount from the So, $685. the amount
apportioned to it this year for number of
children and teachers, it gets the benefit of
only 50, SO, while the new plan Of APP
portionment gives it 81, 722. 81. Elk dis
trict pays for transfers $299.7 more than it
receives; deducting that amount from the
81 ,352. Is, it has the benefitof only 81, 052 46
under the old plan, while the new gives it
81, 1926. Woodbury. receives S401 80
more for transfers than it pays; adding that
to the S., 72S. %, it has Sc, 129. SO under the
old plan. The new plan gives it So, 1896 rs.
