BERKELEY, Sept. 27.-Mrs. Fanny

CHINESEsCHEME To
ENTER COUNTRY,
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

BOSTON, Sept. 27.-The immigration
authorities have Just discovered a gil
gantic plan to smuggle Chinese into
the United States by way Of New-
foundland. The discovery OF the at
tempted operations is largely due to
the skill and aggressiyeness Of A. P.
Schell, for some time head of the Chi
nese inspection service in New Eng
land.
Owing to the $500 head tax imposed
by Canada the Chinese fed to New
foundland as a temporary refuge. The
Newfoundland Government having de-
cided TO impose a 500 head tax, the
Chinese next prepared to enter the
United States With such a fortune
within apparent easy reach a number
of desperate men have been found
ready to handle the undertaking.
United States secret service men are
shadowing the agents OF the syndicate
here. in the hope that their movements
will betray the proposed landing place
of the smugglers.
Inspectors have also discovered Chi
nese training schools at Montreal,
where Chinese are carefully coached
for entrance into the United States
and trial before the United States
courts on deportation charges.

THIEVES DETECTED
LEAVING ROOM.

OAKLAND, Sept. 27.-William G.
Smith and William C. Bennett. strang-
ers in Oakland. last night stole a lot
of clothing, bank book and a number
of valuable papers from the room of
William Yager In the Alaska House.
Yager was not awakened by the visit
of the thieves to his room, but the
pair were seen emerging therefrom by
the landlord of the lodging house.
The landlord asked them their busi-
ness and was told they were in search
of a room. One of the men paid 81
for a room and as the landlord went
down the hall to SHOW them the apart
ment the thieves fed
The landlord reported the circum-
stances to Sergeant of Police McSorley
Smith were arrested at Seventh and
Washington streets. On being searched
at the city prison all the stolen prop
erty was found in their possession.
This morning they were charged with
burglary.
Walter Bibson and G.. Stevens, two
room thieves, were captured last night
by Sergeant of Police McSorley and
Patrolman Mulgr0w. after they had
robbed the rooms of Alex High and
David Lorcher in the Eureka Hotel at
Seventh and Washington streets. From
Highs room Bbson stole some clothing
and Stevens secured SS4 from the room
of Lorcher. Both were hooked at the
City Prison for burglary.

PROVIDES ORATORY
FOR CAMPAIGN.

Albert NJ Johnson, who is doing the
oratorical work for Langdon and the
other candidates of the independence
League spoke last night at Union Hall,
on Fillmore street The point with
which he seemed to score the greatest
success was for the passage of a direct
primary law.
All of the candidates preceded john
son last night. Langdon's talk did not
intimate that he is looking forward
with any certainty to success. He
realized, apparently, the. weakness of
his speech and stated that he was tired,
having been talking at various places
during the day. He made a half
hearted attempt to show why he should
have the labor vote. The fact that he
had sprung from the labor ranks
seemed to be sufficient reason for him
to think that the labor classes of San
Francisco should join him in trying
TO carry the Hearst banner to victory
Quite in contrast with Langdons ap-
peal TO labor was the opening state
ment made by Albert Johnson, who
gave the audience to understand from
the first that he was not a labor
unionist-
II want to say right here" he said,
that 1 am not here as a working man,
because 1 never did a days work in
my life, and hope to heaven I never
viii"
Whether it was due to Langdon's
weak speech or to a growing fear on
the part of the other members of the
league that the candidate for Cover
nor might withdraw from the fight
was not indicated, but Johnson laid
great stress on the statement that
Langdon would remain in the fight to
the end.
According to Johnson, all the parties
with the exception of the Doodle Dees
are under the hand of the same bosses,

a fit of anger and resentment left me-"
AYERS Boehrer. She promised to re-
turn to me and be good. In 1904. while
we were living in Berkeley, 1 went to
our home and found my wife in a
beastly state of intoxication. She was
lying on the sofa and a male companion
was tanning her. She again left me,
but returned a second time.
When I was suffering from typhoid
fever she demanded money. / was raw
ing in a delirium and she said if l did
not keep quiet she would beat my
brains out. At that time the physicians
did not expect me to live. She refused
to attend me and stayed out late at
night while was bedridden. The
nurse, in pity, turned back the hands
of the clock, but still I worried, and my
wife retarded my recovery by tantaliz-
ing me- If I should continue to live
with her my life would be endangered" :"
The Boehrers were married at San
Jose in April 1903, and have neither
children nor community property.
