Is made by Charles Mehan, the in
spector in charge Of the Chinese
bureau, to prevent the illegal landing
of orientals. Here Is where the
astuteness, tact and integrity of the
inspector play an important part.
On the docking of the steamer, the
Chinese on board must be photo
graphed for identification. They have
been well coached, however. Before
leaving their native land, and when
NJ. A. Samuels, the official photog
rapher for the Chinese bureau, ar
rives on the scene with his camera,
the excited jabber which greets his
N,appearance proclaims him as the real
boyle man. And well they may fear
him, for IS years of experience with
the cunning celestial has made Mr..
Samuels familiar with every trick and
vile of these would-be residents of
this country.
One after another, the men are
placed before the camera. Much tact
must be displayed on the part of in
spector and photographer to induce
the subject to yield to the operation
of the boyle man. Some give in
peacefully enough when led on with
the excuse that 1t is the law of this
country that every foreigner have his
picture taken before landing here,
and that immediate release will fol-
low the proceeding. But there are
those who absolutely refuse to ac-
cept the camera mans invitation to
'look natural" and they won't be
coaxed or whecdled or threatened into
submission. They are too well in
formed. Perhaps after infinite pa

part of Mr. Mehan and Mr.. Samuels,

quietly enough, but just as the cam
era clicks, he lunches his features
together or moves hts head so quick
ly that even the sharp, swift eye of
Mr.. Samuels fails to detect the move

are developed that the trouble Is as
certained. and down into the crowded
detention sheds the photographer

are hung the photographs of such
men as Senator Fair, Thomas Starr

others whose millions have made a
place for their children in Gotham s
society, as well as that of London

now and then climb their way up
the long stair with the aid of gold
headed canes, in order to look at the
familiar faces that smile down upon
them and to see the pictures of them
selves as whimpering, bald-headed
little babies stricken to the heart
with fear when the cameras black
nose was turned upon them. And
the portly man of millions hears a
strange, incoherent chatter of voices
