SICK STRAINS
 SEEK ENTRANCE

FL PAS0, May 21.-Thirty Syrians afflicted with tracnoma, the incurbale eye disease have left Juarez for parts unknown. They have evidently start ed out with the intention of crossing the boundary line at points above and below this city along the Rio Grande. Four of the foreigners were caught at the Southern Pacific bridge, above the city, and two have been caught near Ft. Hancock, which is circum- stantial evidence that they have have scattered into different parts in their excursion to the United States.
 Some of the Syrians who arc now absent from Juarez had been staying in the city across the river for over a year, having been debarred from en. trance into the United States by the immigration authorities because Of their affiiction with trachoma. Otehrs Iof the foreigners have remained in Juarez less than a year after being debarred by the immigration people at this port.
 The fact that practically all of the Syrians who are said to have left Juarez last Saturday night were once 'debarred by the immigration authori- tAOo lu<1b upOn llS ctCOuQ eAdul- ination by the authorities they will be deported to their native country in Eu- rope.
 Six of the foreigners have been taken into custody since their depart ure from Juarez in attempting to cross the boundary and the immigration au- thorities are making diIigent search for the rest of the foreigners who are making for this side.
 All of the Syrians who had been in Juarez at least several months are af- fiicted with trachoma- They were de- barred for this reason when they ap- piled for admission into this country the first time. Returning to Juarez, they hoped they would be afforded an opportunity of getting into this coun- try in the near future. Disappointed in their failure to cross the boundary unmolested at this point they started out with the desperate intention to get across in any event.
 The importance in catching the Syr- ians is because they have an eye dis ease which is said to be incurable and contagious, finally resulting in blind ness.

.RUEF A E|YPOCRiTE,
 SAYS DETECTIVE

LOS ANGEAESl May 2l.-That Abe Ruef's tears were of the croco- dile variety and that his maudlin sen | timents regarding high ideals and civic pride were really satirized by the actual facts, is the declaration of I. s. Hurst of this city. Hurst was formerly retained by the Mercnants' Association of San Francisco to ob- tain evidence against she .'curly boss and but for broken faith on the part of the Examiner he says, Ruef would have been convicted in 1904 or 1905.
 Positive evidence was laid before the so-called Andrews" grand jury | in 1904 that Ruef accepted money from gamblers. the local detective asserts. The report was gwen in strict confidence to three San Fran cisco newspapers, and all agreed to hold the story until the time was ripe. Hearst's sheet published the whole story the following day. Ruef was warned, and both Hurst and one Of his agents narrowly escaped death
 Hurst declares that in 1904, at the time when Ruef in his fearful confes- tion said he was living inabsolute purity of public life. the union-labor boss was deriving an immense income from cigar store men. lottery ticket sellers, street "fakirs" and others. 'l smiled when I read Abe Ruef's i confession, said the detective who camped on his trail three years ago. ''Ruef wanted people to believe he was an innocent lamb, full of lofty ideals and bursting with civic pride, prior to the elections of 1905
 As a matter of fact. | was in the | possession of indisputable evidence,
 in 1904. that Ruef was absolutely
 raking in the coin, part of which passed up higher.
 Just one. case to illustrate. We | secured gambler from the East, who applied for protection to ply his pro l fession in San Francisco. Ruef told him he would be protected for 25 per cent of the profits, and that he would himself send a lookout to see just how much money was taken in. Rou- ! lette, poker and a crap game were | to be run. Our plan was to mark the bills that our gambler was to pay l over to Ruef, and then arrest the lit tie boss with the money in his pos session.
 This and other evidence was to be submitted to the grand jury. Forman Andrews called in representatives of the Call, Chronicle and Examiner, told them what was to be done and secured their words of honor that nothing would be published prema- turely. The next morning the Exam iner published the whole story. Ruef saw our hand and took immediate measures to have our gambler 'quieted.
 Certain men. assiged to put a per. manent stop to all speech on the gam bler's part. went to his room and were only held at bay by his threat to shoot through the door of his room at the Hotel Golden West.
 Our man, in the meantime hastily put on his clothing and fled down the fire escape. I will not give his name for obvious reasons.
 When l was giving a story to the Herald of Mexico City some time later about some of the happenings in San Francisco, including some of the strike episodes of 101. little thought il would reach the Bay City, But il did, and had fight later on when returned to San Francisco, that came near ending my work.

only actuated by those splendid senti. ments of his, in 1904. | have proof that he extorted $500 from a certain man who was displaying electric ad- Nertising signs over the Ferry build Ing. The man was warned by the police that he was liable to arrest TOT using the signs, and was tipped off to see Ruef.
 He went to the latter's office and stated plainly that he wanted protec- tlon- Ruef named $500 as the re- tainer. The advertising man heard Rnef in conversation with Mayor Schmitz over the telephone. Tn that talk, Ruef told the Mayor to call off the police. The man paid over his money and was not again molested
 Another instance. A street sales man, a college graduate. by the way, was selling recipe book on the streets of San Francisco. He had paid for a city license, and was much surprised one day when a henchInan or Ruefs came along and demanded S25 month. The 'fakir displayed his license, but the other man only smiled.
 "'Go ahead and try it without us. 2 he said.
 The salesman saw him go up to q policeman and have a few wOros. The policeman came over to him and gruf- tiy- told him to move on. He did so. Another copper hustled him up the street. Finally, in desperation, the street salesman called the collector across to him. paid his $25 without more argument, and each month thereafter paid in his tribute and was unmOlested by the police.
 q tell you. nothing was tCo low for Ruef, nothing too high. In San Fran cisco there were about 5000 cigar stores. Four thousand of them sold Cttery tickets, They all tpaid for protection. and I have seen policeman in uniform buy tickets or place hand book bets. These places paid all the way from S1O to S100 per month to Ruef, or in round numbers, on fair average, $50 900 a month Of course, much of this big sum passed on to others; but Ruef certainly got his share. This was during the period before Ruef fell from sanctity and grace, mind you, according to his con fession.''
 Take a saloon graft during Inose same years. Say there were 5000 sa- looms, roughly speaking. According to the records, 35ee paid licenses. Fifteen hundred ran without license, by protection. When the Hotel St. Francis was built, a stipulation was made with the Board of Supervisors that no saloon should be located in the vicinity which might hurt the hotel bars trade. Soon after d fine place was opened not far from the hotel It was run without license. Ihe Supervisors had promised not to grant another license near the st. Francis but 1t semed that a license was not necessary"
 Detective Hurst believes that the year 1907 will be marked by far more dispraceful scenes in San Francisco than was 1901, when union labor thugs sent to the emergency hospital 1900 victims of their brutality and furnished death list of 250 killed in cold blood
 He thinks that the labor leaders are waitin until the Governor has left the city and the police are consider ed to be able to cope with the situa- ticn. He bases this belief on his own knowledge of the conditions in San Francisco, where his life would not be safe if he was recognized.

SAY TEXAS ROAD
 IS INSOLVENI

| SAN ANTONIO, Tex. May 20.-In an amended petition filed in the fed eral court, the compliments in the equity suit of Croker ct al. against the C.. II. and s. A. Railroad company. for the appointment of a receiver. set out that the western division of the road is insoIvent. Figures are given to sup port this contention. This is one of | the main facts upon which the ap- 1 pointment of a receiver will be urged
 It is set out in the amended bill that laccording to the sworn statement made to the Texas railroad commis- sion the 919 miles of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio from Houston to Fl Paso is valued at only sI6, ,142. .297.i5. Outstanding against this valuation are first sId second mortgage bonds valued at S20, ,732, ,000, or 4,400, ,000 more than the total value of the road. Since 1901 a floating in debtedness of SS,770, i01. .63 has ac- cumulated, which is unpaid This makes a total indebtedness of nearly 30,000,000 against assets of only SI6.- 900, 600. This Is exclusive of S5,384, 900 of outstanding bonds issued by the Galveston, Harrisburg and San An- tonic for the purchase of other lines
 Fraud is Charged. Fraud is also charged in the petition against the Southern Pacific in it's alleged non-control of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio since June 90, 1889. to avoid the Texas law It is stated that although at midnight of that night the Southern Pacific made the public announcement that control of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio was relinquished that the Southern Pacific had arranged be- forehand to control the board of di- rectOrs of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio and has since dicta- ted all of it's officials and directed its policies and that it continues to do so in violation of the federal and state laws.
 It is also set out that all Of the equipment owned by the Southern Pa eific amounting to 4,500 600, none is credited to the assets of this division. but ail is claimed as the property of the Southern Pacific
 The court is asked to direct that a propoftionste share of the engines and coaches be designated as owned by the western division of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
