BORDER INSPECTORS ARREST
LEADS TO INVESTIGATION
Mexican Apprehended for Alleged
Completely in Plot Involving High
Officials - Smuggling Of
Cinnamon Object

By Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 12.-Word has been
received from Ensenada, Lower Califor-
MIA. of the arrest there of Juan Morales
upon a showing of facts made by Emil
Epgelecke of gthis city. inspector In
charge of the United States immigration
bureau in June, 1906, to the secretary OF
state at Washington and to United States
Ambassador Thompson In the City OF
Mexico.
The complaint was made by Mr.. En-
gelecke on the ground of the unwarrant-
ed arrest and detention of w. A. Hutch
fns of this city, one of the deputy in
spectors along the international boundary
line, whose duty was to patrol certain
territory for the purpose of intercepting
Cinnamon or other foreigners who might
be trying to get into the United States
unlawfully
The arrest of Morales is considered
important because of the fact that the
investigation which has led up to 1t is
said to have implicated high Mexican
officials. 1t is charged that the arrest
of Hutchins, which was on June rs, 1905,
was the result of conspiracy on the
part of Morales and others, the object
being to get Hutchins out of the way
while four Cinnamon, who had been
waiting at Morales saloon across the
line, could be safely delivered to allies of
the smugglers on American soil at $3.50
per head

Serve Notice
By Associate1 Press.

By Associate1 Press
SEATTLE, WASH. Sept. 12.-With
subscription list started today headed by
Mayor Bethune with a purse Of 800 anc
which up to last night had grown to
$500. Vancouver citizens will charter a
train and placing at least 300 Hindus
who arrived in this city yesterday by
steamer Monteagle, on board and ship
them back to Ottawa, the seat OF the
federal government. This Is the plan
evolved this morning and which Is to be
carried into effect tomorrow, providing
the necessary amount of money can be
raised.
On board the Monteagle were hundreds
of Chinese, Japanese and Hindus. The
Hindus formed the greatest part of the
human cargo and the plan to ship them
to Ottawa with the compliments of Van
couver is an outcome of the recent or
iental disturbances. The steamship COM
pany, fearing trouble, landed nearly all
of the Japanese at Victoria.
At Vancouver the dock was roped off
for two blocks and heavily guarded by
company employees and police. Last
night an attempt was made to land the
Hindus. An immense crowd had gathered
and the officials were afraid to let the
Hindus face the crowd alone. They were
returned to the ship with the announce
ment that they would stay until today.
The white labor unions yesterday
served thirty days notice on employers
of orientals to replace foreigners with
white labor. A refusal Is to be met with
strikes and boycotts.

ular through safe. After exploding three
charges the safe was opened and found
empty.

the registered mail and after firing a
parting volley disappeared.

ing about so years old and about feet II
inches tall, and the other considerably

CASA BLANCA, Sept 1.-THE allied
Franco-Spanish army yesterday made
sudden and successful move on Taddert,
where the Moors were massed In force.
The camp of the latter was destroyed
by bombardment and the enemy was put
to flight, leaving many dead on the field.
The French lost one man killed and six
wounded. The attack was carefully
planned and was based largely on the
observations of the Moors' position from
q military balloon. The allied army
which was divided into two columns
left the camp at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing, leaving several companies of in
fantry to defend the base at Casa Blanca
The first column was composed of four
companies of regular infantry, several
companies of sharpshooters, battery
of artillery and all the cavalry. The
second column consisted of six compa-
nies of infantry and battery of artil-
lery. The march was skillfully carried
out under the cover of fog until half
way to Taddert when the fog lifted and
disclosed several bands of the enemy.
The allies then charged several large
bands of the enemy at the point of the
bayonet, and although the Moors re-
sisted with their old-time courage, they
were finally compelled to retreat in the
| face of superior force and both of the
columns of the allied troops advanced
| on Taddert
Make Last Stand
| After the bombardment of that place
| by the French artillery as well as by
the guns of the French cruiser Gloire,
which fired seventy-five shells, the allied
infantry advanced on the Moorish camp,
where the enemy was making last
desperate stand. A short engagement
followed and the Moors fled in wild dis
order, pursued for several miles by the
irregular Algerian cavalry in the French
service.
The Moorish camp was completely de-
stroyed The exact loss of the Moors
is not known, as they carried away
many of their dead. When the Moors
saw their camp in flames they set fire
! to all the farms and woods they could
reach and the surrounding country was
covered with smoke and flames.
| The Moors endeavored to circle in front
of the advancing troops with the object
of cutting off and surrounding a section
| of the allied forces, but the attempt
utterly failed, largely on account of the
rapid advance, which seemed to puzzle
the Moors When assailed from long
line of troops the Moors reached the
front, where many of them fell under
| the accurate fire of lne field artillery
/ and the guns of the Gloire.
