Of JAN often use cipher codes In COM

officials came across a hard one. A
fellow named Turner, in for forgery.
invented the puzzle. The writing was
on long narrow strips Of paper, on the
edge Of which were letters and parts
of letters that apparently had no con-
nectiOn and from which no words
could be formed. One day a deputy
who was passing the cell Of a prisoner
saw him passing a long strip Of paper
around an octagon lead pencil. He
took the paper away, and on 1t were
the mysterious scrawls that had wor-
ried the keepers. But the deputy got
an idea from this. and, going back to
the office, he wrapped the strip around
an octagon shaped lead pencil and
after several trials adjusted it so that
the parts Of the letters fitted together
and made q sentence. though the writ
Ing was very fine. The writer had
adopted the simple but ingenious plan
OF covering the pencil with paper and
had then written along one OF the fiat
sides. On unrolllng 1t the writing was
as mystical as cryptogram. but when
put around the pencil as it was origi.
nally 1t could be easily understood.

Has Right to Come Into British Co
lumbia.
VANCOUVER. B. c.. Feb. 2s.-
The federal order in council, issued
under the authority OF section 30 of
the immigration act, which directs
that immigrants who do not come to
Canada direct from the land of their
birth or citizenship may be deported,
will be tested before Justice Morri-
son next Tuesday. The 200 Hindus
who few weeks ago arrived from
Suva, Fill islands, and were ordered
deported under the terms of the
order-in-council, had themselves
brought into court through habeas
corpus proceedings, and it is on their
account that the inquiry into the eff
cheney of the law will be undertaken.
AS the matter stands, the Hindus
have gained a respite from deporta-
ton through having made their APP
plication at the last moment, before
the sailing of the steamship Aorangi
on her return to Syndey via Suva
The ship will leave port today and
should the case go against them the
Hindus will be returned to the far
Fills by the next Australian steamer
to depart for that point.
Counsel for the Hindus announced
that he would base his whole case
on his ability to prove to the salts
faction Of the court that the term
citizenship" was synonymous with
the term subject" He contended
that while his clients were born in
India, they were subjects of King
Edward, and as such citizens of the
empire they had embarked from one
part of the empire to proceed to an
other part, and being citizens of the
empire, it was impossible legally to
prevent them from entering any part
of that empire. The gist of counsels

VICTORIA B. c., Feb. 2S.-With
the arrival of the steamer Monteagle,

it developed that the 1876 Hindus left
there will not be refused landing by
the dominion immigration officials,
who consider that as they have come
by through ticket, although not by
direct steamer, they have not violat-
ed the dominion regulations, but the
landing of the Hindus, who will be
held in quarantine for 16 days more,
will be fought by the British Column
bia government. Attorney General
Bowser says they will be refused
landing and test case will be made
to see If the Natal act, imperative
against Japanese owing to the treaty,
is good against other immigrants and
not ultra wires of the legislature, as
claimed.
