BRINGING CHINESE IN.
Company Is Using Mobile and New
 Orleans as Ports of Entry.

Mobile, April 1S-The suspicion of gov ernment officials has been aroused by the numerous arrivals here of late of Chi nese from Bocas del Toro, Costa Rica, and other South American ports, and an Investigation has been ordered Several weeks ago a half-dozen Chinese arrived in Mobile from Bocas del Toro destined for New Orleans. They were promptly gathered in by the customs officials and lodged in jail, pending a hearing before the local United States commissioner. One was ordered deported and was sent back to Bocas several days ago. Another has just been ordered deported. and the re- mainder are held pending further inves- tigations.
 Nearly every ono of these Chinese are bound for New Orleans. It is the opinion of government officials that there is a company in New Orleans engaged in bringing Chinese to this country from Bocas del Toro and Mobile, as we'll as New Orleans is used as a port of entry. Within the past two months there have been no less than a dozen deported.
