WARE SEEKS AUTHOR
OF UNSIGNED NOTE
Pension Commissioner viii Break Up Anonymous
Letter Writing in His Department,

Although anonymous letters as rule
hold no terrors for the officials of the
Pension Bureau. they having become
more or less cauous to their insinua-
lions and charges, Commissioner Ware
has expressed much annoyance over an
unsigned communication which he just
received. In fact. the letter was SO in
suIting and sIanderous in its tone that
the Commissioner Immediately began an
investigation. with the result that
clerk in the office has been requested to
show cause why he should not be dis
missed for having been the author OF
the perturbing note
Every effort is being made to keep
the incident q secret, and all informa
ton on the subject is guarded IS
though precious. Il was learned, how
ever. that the communication accuses
several of the high officials with showing
favoritism to certain employees, besides
disregarding the civil service laws in
making appointments. That the charges
are made out of malice and spite is evi-
dent. and consequently it appears
strange that SO much secrecy should be
maintained.

regarding the eommunrz ion, refused
to discuss the matter in fac he would

Clark. an acting chief inspector of i'm
migrants for the Canadian border. with
headquarters at Montreal, Canada. In
speetor Clark has charge of the division
extending from PASSPORT. Ne, to Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich, which is considered the
most trying position in the service
aloHg the whole Canadian border.
Mr.. Clark reports that in the six
months ending December 81, 1902, 1,72f
immigrants we're refused admission to
the United States. OF these. the causes.

enumerated as follows: Trachoma. 392;

charges. SO. contract Iaborers, 191; no
certificate. 286; unlawfulIy entering. At:
assisted immigrants. 8; prostitutes. 4;
rejected with other members of the fam
lily. 19
! The greatest difficulty among the i'm
migrants refused admission by Inspector
Clark came from those who entered at
New York. stating they were bound for
points in Canada, and then eudeavored
to steal into the United States.
Commissioner General Sargent made
+ arrangements yesterday afternoon for
the deportation of forty-four Chinese,
who have been arrested at numerous
/ places in the New England States, and
/ in the States east of Michigan and IN

chiefs in the South indicate 10 the Com
