GREAT WORK BY

HUNDRED PER CENT OF HITS
MADE BY THE sEvENTY-FIRsT
COMPANY.

WASHINGTON, July 25.--The Sew
enty-fve Company, Coast Artillery
Corps, Captain Granville Sewer, at
target practice at Fort Casey, Wash,
on June oath made 100 per cent of
hits at a 30x6O foot target, moving at
the rate of 7.6 miles per hour, at a
mean range of 5492 yards. This prac-
tice was held with ten-inch rifles on
disappearing carriages at Battery
Worth, Fort Casey. The series of six
shots was fired in little over five and
one-half minutes.
This is the second practice within
the last six months in which the Sew
enty-first Company has made 100 per
cent of hits. The excellence of the
work of the Seventy-first in this prac-
tice indicates careful and thorough per-
Torrance of duty, and the Chief of the
Coast Artillery has recommended the

TWO SEPARATE RINGS.

the other a coterie of cutrate SNUG
glers who cheapened the price of ad-

the more expensive dealers, thereby
precipitating exposure.

BRINGING CHINESE
OVER THE BORDER
Mongols and Opium Struggled From
Mexico on Very Extensive
Scale.
OFFICIALS ARE IMPLICATED,
Secret Agents Ferret Out Methods by
Which Asiatics Come IN
Dy Wholesale.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The eX-
istence of a ring of government Off
Gals extending from Washington to
the Mexican border and engaged in
the smuggling of Chinese coolies and
opium into this country has been un-
covered by federal investigators who
have been quietly piling up evidence
for more than a year. When their
findings are made public by President
Roosevelt it is expected that the coun-
try will be appalled, by the system
affixed perversion of immigration regu-
lations which has been going on.
Secret service agents and Chinese
detectives have been at work in this
city and along the Mexican border,
ferreting out the methods by which a
stream of Asiatic laborers has been
poured into the western states. The
investigation has mounted steadily
from the subordinate officials of the
immigration bureau to the higher ups
in Washington, with the result that a
chain of public servants has been in
volved link by link in the ugly scan

Heney. Then followed yesterdays
conference at which both government
and municipal officials were present.
EVIDENCE is GATHERED.
The investigators have had at their
disposal a corps of secret service
agents who have fine combed for evil
dence all the territory from the Mexi-
can border to this city. Among these
agents is Charles Kee, a Chinese de-
tective in the federal employ, who has
gathered invaluable evidence among
his countrymen at great personal risk
Kee has declared that as a result OF
his work a price of $1,000 has been
placed on his head and that he is in
danger of death from the tongmen of
Chinatown. The Chinese consul gem
eral has taken prompt measures to
protect Kee and said after yesterdays
conference that he would aid the in
vestigators by every means in his
power
The smuggling across the Mexican
border has not been confined to Chi
nese coolies. Opium and other COM
modities have been brought over the
line by the two rings. The procedure
in the case of the coolies Is elaborate
and calculated to prevent discovery
and conviction by an ingenious divi-
sion of guilt. Wagons driven by mem
bers of the ring pick up Chinese at
various points on the Mexican side
and carry them toward the line, set
ting them down, where second and
/ third relays take care of them. By
the time a coolie has crossed into
American territory he has passed
through so many hands that to trace
the guilty parties is well nigh i'm
possible.
UNCOVER WHOLE SYSTEM.
The investigators, nevertheless,
have uncovered the whole system of
= fraudulent entry and traced it to its
source in officials who look the other
way when wagons carrying coolies en-
ter American territory. Their work
was simplified by the existence of an
unofficial ring, which cut the rate to
coolies and lessened the profits of the
official ring until arrests of the rivals
for smuggling became necessary as a
business precaution.
Neither jerks nor Sanford would
discuss the conference held yesterday,
but both admitted that their investi-
cation had put them on the track of
huge frauds.

nese already this year" said Profess
sor Sanford. Last year, before our

Arizona republican., 1908-12-05

Yesterday was a bit cloudy. but it was all sunshine with the band of sub scription hustlers. who did another re- markable days work. Fifteen new sub scriptions, beside the large number of usual renewals were added, and that made The Republican take on more sunshine smiles.
 Friends of the contestants are boost ing in every possible way. and help for favored ones is constantly coming in. Yesterday a stranger to the contestants and to the city called and signed up for The Republican, saying that he had bought the paper on the streets for a few days. but he now desired to help in the contest and named his favorite to whom the credit of fifty votes was given. Several new subscriptions were received through the mails, accompa- nied by remittances to be credited to contestants named. A jolly good old rancher living far out on Rural Free Delivery No. 4, who is a regular sub scriber called and paid for a new six months subscription, The Republican to be sent to a neighbor of his. and took with him a certificate entitling the holder to 40 points. He would not say who he expected to give the cer- tificate to and indicated that he wanted to surprise his favorite. The interest is so general and the contest so near a close that every day many subscrip- tions are paid direct, always with in structions that the votes are to go to such or such a one.
 The Republicans subscription list is growing so rapidly under the work of the hustlers that it is with regret that the contest is to be closed a week from tonight. In the mean time the interest is at it's whitest heat and the paper is eagerly sought each morning by friends to see how their respective contestants stand in the list.
 A PRETTY RACE
 A glance daily at the scores will in dicate how closely they are racing at the top Stover Isaac is but seventy nine votes behind Hazel, who still re- tains the top this morning. George I.uhrs goes from second to third place. Maggie Doyle is surely creeping up the line, yesterday she scored nearly three thousand points reaching the S3,OOO mark.
 The Tempe hustlers. despite the great handicap are making a good run. Each added to his score yesterday. It is expected that Mesa will today make a big showing.
 TO THE HUSTlERS
 Remember the contest closes sharp ly at ten o'clock Saturday evening, De- cember 18th. Now is the time to get in all the heavy strokes. The help of each one of your booster friends will go a long ways. Now is the time to swell the reserve list, as well as to climb up the coveted rungs of the lad der.
 Any help or suggestions that the con test department can give the contes- tants will be given most gladly. Come in once. twice, or a dozen times, if necessary in a day; we want to help you and if any advice or assistance is needed, call again.
 WATCH FOR TREAT
 Contestants. there will be a rare treat offered every one of you. Watch The Republican tomorrow and see what 1t is. It will happen Sunday or Mon- day night so make no other engage ments.

Oklahoma has grown very tired Of
the radical laws adopted by its
grand stand playing legislators and
politicians. Money refuses to come
into the state and engage in its de-
xelopment under such drastic and
unreasonable conditions as its laws
in many instances impose. Conse-
auently Oklahoma, wonderfully rich
as she is in agricultural resources
and home enterprise, has come 10 a
standstill. Therefore the people
have awakened and the next legisla-
tnre will be elected with the under
standing that its principal job Is 10
be in the repeal of over strenuous
measures and the substitution Of
laws which will invite the return Of
the money of the east to build the
railroads and do the other develop
ment which Oklahoma in common
with all the west and southwest must
have if ii would keep its doors open
and make advance.
