Washington, Aug. 24.-Probably the
most important arrests ever made in
connection with the smuggling of Chi
nese across the Mexican border into the
United States We're made yesterday in
Arizona, when William NJ. Hoey, collec-
tor of customs at Nogales; B. F. Jossey,
Immigrant inspector; Frank How,
Chinaman LIVING in Nogales, and anoth-
er Chlnaman living at Clifton, Mexico,
Just across the border from Nogales
We're taken into custody by special
agents of the treasury secret service op-
eratives. Other arrests are expected to
fo1ow within day or two. 1t is stated
mat with two or three exceptions the
whole customs immigration administra-
tion of Nogales is involved. Some time
ago the official of the treasury depart
men having Nogales as his headquarters
wrote the department that he had rea-
son to believe the official force at that
point was corrupt and that Chinese in
large numbers We're being srnuggled
across the border for consideration.
secret service operative was sent
there at once and plans laid to secure
evidence aaginst the persons under s,ls-
picion. Several Cinnamon were fur
nished with money anu sent on to buy
their way thru the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty. the
price demanded being from $50 to 5000.
The secret service men also arranged
with one or two employees, whose hon
esty had been tested, to go into the COL
lectors office at certain time and de-
mand share of the money being re-
ceived from the Cinnamon and to be adj
mitted into the combination. so they
might get their share of the proceeds of
future deals. This was reluctantly
agreed to and considerable sums of
money were handed over in the presence
and full hearing of a secret service man.

Itificate marked with the letter "a was
allowed to proceed, without question
while those having certificates which did
rot bearing this cabalistic mark were
turned back without ceremony. Later
on it was developed that the letter a.
on the certificate indicated the amount
demanded had been paid. Several Chi
namen were sent thru with the requisite
"a" mark on their certificates, made by
one of the secret service men. The ut
most care and secrecy were 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 ar
rested. Hoey was appointed collector
about year and a half ago. The num-
ber of Cinnamon who bought their way
into the United States thru the conni-
vance of the Nogales officials is not
known, but 1t is believed to be large. A
special agent has been ordered to Noga-

Miss eeaIs Al Her ola work.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 24.-Miss Matte
Beals, who won quarter section, worth
at least $4,000 in the Oklahoma land
drawing, has returned from Lawton and
resumed her old position as operator
in the telephone Office.
Fortune did not turn her head in the
least. apparently. and she is the same
"hello' that she was before the drawing.
She is probably the richest telephone
girl in America. Miss Beales will work
in the telephone Office until Feb. /, when
she must move onto her claim and re-
main on it for eight months.
The wonderful growth of Lawton has
made Miss Beals claim worth fully as
much as the estimates when she drew
it, in spite of the fact that John r.

President Of Venezuela Trying to Force
War With Colombia.

Washington. Aug. H.-There is no
longe. any question In the minds II Of
1;cials here as to the intentions of Presi-
dent Castro. Aware of the fact that dis
satisfaction with his administration in
Venezuela is daily Increasing, he hopes
to prevent the Venezuelans from eject
ing him from TIM presidency by uniting
them in war against Colombia. This
explains his action in Issuing proclama-
tions announcing that Colombia has
Invaded Venezuela, and in sending Ven
ezuelan troops on board Venezuelan
gunboats to attack Colombia by way of
the seacoast.
The latter action of President Castro
IS an act of war against Colombia. Pres
ddent Castro cannot make the excuse
that this expedition is composed Of Col
ombian insurgents, who have organized
son Venezuelan soil, in spite of the
vigilance OF Venezuelan officials.
Aside from the fact that there is
evidence that this expedition is COM
posed of Venezuelan troops. the men
who comprise 1t were carried in Ven
ezuelan war vessels. This puts Presi-
dent Castro In the position of openly
engaging in hostilities against Col
umbia, and officials of the state depart
ment are anxiously awaiting news of
the next development.
At the Colombian legation Minister
Silva and Senior Herran We're natural
ly somewhat guarded in their COM
ments on the action of President Cas-
\ tro, for war has not been declared be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela and
the two nations are nominally at
peace.

MORE SILKS HELD UP.
Big Invoice of Japanese Goods Seized
in New York.

New York, Aug. 24.-Wilbur F. Wake
man, the appraiser Of the port. yester-
day advised the seizure of thirtyfour
cases of Japanese silks and handker-
chiefs, consigned to A. S. Rosenthal &
Co., on the ground that they were ille-
gally inyoiced. No action has been
taken yet by Collector Bidwell. He and
Col. Phelps, of the law division of the
custom house, were in consultation in
the afternoon. The collector was not
disposed to be communicative about the
Rosenthal seizure. He said he had re-
oeived the invoice, but had no time to
examine 1t.
This last shipment consisted Of thirty
four cases of merchandise supposed to
be worth $4,000 in Japan. 1t is estimated
here that its value, according to prices
supposed to be the lowest at which such
merchandise can be purchased, is near
ly $4,000. This is the estimate of the
appraiser.
With an almost prophetic insight the
agents of A. S. Rosenthal & Co. seem
to have OWNED that some question
would be raised in regard to the ship
ment of merchandise. Accompanying
the invoice was letter from the Japan
ese agents, written month ago. saying
that there had been some clerical mis-
takes In the invoice and asking that the
fact be called to the attention of the
collector.
Mr.. Wakeman. after the weighing OF
the merchandise, also thought that the
collector should know about 1t and he
recommended the confiscation of the
goods. Rosenthal & Co. sent another
letter asking that the weights on the in
voice be disregarded. The request was
granted. In no instance. according to
the report on file. do the figures fur
nished by the firm coincide with the act
ual weights.
There is reason to believe that in the
past examiners in the silk department
have not been careful to weigh every
case on account OF their long acquain-
tance with the houses doing business in
japanese silks. 1t is shown by the ex.
animation of official records that the i'm
portations OF Japanese silks made by
one house in the last year and nine
months have been worth q, ,000, 900. II
the supposed Irregularities have OBJ

the governor of Colombia nor the peo-
pie OF Colombia want war, and know
that the people of Venezuela do not
want war;
When the attention of Minister Silva
and Secretary Herran was called to the
report that President Castro was plan
ning to bring about war between Colom-
pia and Venezuela SO as to solidify the
Venezuelans and rally them to his sup
port In a foreign war. these gentlemen
refrained from comments upon the
probable motives of resident Castro, but
Senor Herran remarked significantly:
IL such war would unite the people of
venezuela it would also unite the people
OF Colombia. The effect 1t would have is
illustrated by the fact that Antigua,
our richest state, has pledged itself to
the government to supply $4,000 men and
s5o.ooo,0o0 to repel any foreign invasion,
and the money would be furnished
Each of the other states would do az
well in proportions"
That the Colombian government re-
CARDS the situation as serious is shown
by the fact that information has been
received here that decree has been is
sued declaring that all Colombians aid

of the government shall be executed as
traitors.
senor Pulido. the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires, said last night that he had re-
ceived no confirmation of the report that
Venezuela had sent an expedition by sea
to invade Colombia. He declined to dis
cuss the motives of President Castro
Secretary Hay is keeping in close
touch with the situation and is prepared
to go just as far as possible to prevent
war. When the Machias reaches Colon
and the Iowa and Ranger reach Pana-
ma he will be in position to act with
more vigor than is possible prior to the
arrival of these vessels. Next week the
entire North Atlantic squadron will be
at Hampton Roads, and additional ves-
sells can be hurried to Colon as the ne
cessity arises.
The gunboat Machias, which is on her
way to Colon, has arrived at Kingston.

Copenhagen. Aug. PA prominent
politician in the counsels of the ministry
today told the Associated Press that the
sale of the Danish West Indies is conf
IDENTIFY expected to be consummated be-
fore the close of the present year. The
king and new cabinet have both con-
cluded that it is absolutely necessary for
Denmark to dispose of the islands, and
a majority of the rigsdag favors the
sale, as does also the public. The only
dissatisfaction arises in connection with
the price, s3.750,00O being considered too
small. However, final approval of the
rigsdag is believed to be assured. It is
expected legislative ratification will be
given in Washington in December.
