MEXICAN BORDER

B. Sergeant. chief Of the Uuited
States bureau OF immigration, arrived
in FL Paso yesterday to investigate
the persistent reports which have
been current here OF late that large
numbers Of Chinese have gathered
on the Mexican side Of the border and
that many are passing into the United
States by means OF stealth and fraud.
1t is alleged that the present force Of
inspectors are unable 10 cope with the
situation and that there is an organ
ized movement to force large num-
bers of Chinese into this country Mr..
Sergeant will make a thorough in
vestigation of these reports. The i'm
migration chief is very well known
in FL Paso, having at one time served
as locomotive fireman between this
point and Tucson
