ARRIVING At. AN
ALARMING RATE
Secretary Straus Trying to
Stop the immigration of laps
to the United States.
PATROL ALONG THE BORDER
HoRDES OF ASIATIcS IN BRITISH
COLUMBIA.

Washington Oct. 6.-Immigration Of
alarming rate that it has been deter
mined to adopt extraordinary measures to
prevent the introduction into the United
States not only of japanese but of other
Asiatic coolie labor. One result OF the
trip of Secretary Straus has been an in
crease in the force of immigration inspec-
tors along the Canadian border with a
view to controlling the flood of Asiatic
immigration 1t is known that more than
double the number of Japanese have come
into the United States thus far in the
year 1907 than came here during the same
period last year. Naturally, the figures
of the government do not include the
hundreds of Japanese who have come
into the country surreptitiously. They
have come across from the Canadian and
Mexican borders principally without hind
rance, despite the means adopted by the
government TO prevent the Introduction of
Japanese laborers.
Bound for This Country.
For many months the government has
had immigration commissioners in Mexico
and Canada. In practically every instance
the inspectors have reported that the
Japanese who reach Mexico or Canada are
bound for the United States. Inquiries
in the Hawaiian islands have revealed or
ganiZatiorfs whose business ii is to pro-
United States. They not only provide
the means but pave the way by which
Japanese may easily obtain entrance to
this country through Mexico and Canada
1t is this sort of position that the gov
eminent proposes to combat. In the ap-
pointment of what principally constitutes
a patrol guard of the northern and south
ern borders of the country, Secretary
Straus hopes to reduce the number of
Asiatc who daily are coming across the
borders in great and increasing numbers.
Hindus and Japs.
Returns from the Canadian immigra-
ton offices show that S2S6 Asiatics land
ed at the British Columbia ports of Vic
toria and Vancouver between January l
and September IS, 1907. OF this number
2.SI2 were Hindus and 4.sl1 were japanese,
most of the latter reaching Canada from
Honolulu. The remainder were Chinese
who paid admission fees of 800 for the
privilege of landing in Canada The field
of labor in that section of Canada is linn
tied. and the Investigations of the United
States immigration inspectors have shown
that most of the japanese and Chinese ex-
pect ultimately to get into the United
States.

TaIlericod Was Quick.

With catlike agility Tallericod
grabbed the sixshooter from Saresena
and with the latter's own gun put one
bullet through Saresenas head and the
second through his right side. After
the shooting Tallericod and Granda left
the saloon and have not since been seen
or heard of by the officers. Owing to
the telephone line being in bad order,
the news did not reach Sheriff Kelter
at Price until late this morning.
1t is the belief that the murderer and
Granda left the coal camp Immediately
after the murder and went to the hills
behind Sunnyside, where they are in
hiding at some sheep camp temporarily,
or have gone to some of their country
men who may be in the hills hunting
at this season of the year. Sheriff KEEL
ter has kilograms out as far as Grand
Junction to the east and Salt Lake
and intermediate points to the west
and believes he will get TallericOd and
Granda before many hours have
elapsed. 1t may be, however, that they
are in hiding with countrymen in the
camp, as this is not infrequently the
case with the Italian population when
such trouble occurs.
