Reno Gazette: Poor State and County officials Under the
guise of giving the members of the State police force free transport

engaged in official service in this State to accept similar fayors from

The drastic bill passed by the last Legislature, which requires off,

however, the bill was killed. Unfortunately-and strangely!

MAY DEPoRT FOREIGNERS.
Governor Chamberlain May Send
Away Insane Wards.

A special from Salem to the Ore
gon Sunday Journal says;
A wholesale deportation of foreign
ers now confined in the state insane
asylum may follow an investigation
begun by Governor Chamberlain and
Superintendent Steiner about a month
ago. The attention of the governor
was attracted to the matter by the ar
rival at the institution, at the time
he was making his monthly inspec-
ton. of two Swedish sailors, who
could not speak a word of English.
On inspection was then made of the
foreigners confined and the startling
fact was revealed that the majority of
them had come to this country as
sailors for the first time and, imme-
diately on landing, had to be taken
into custody. This made it appear to
certain members of the asylum COM
mission as if there was an attempt
on the part OF other nations to ship
their insane to this country as SAIL
ors with the intention of unloading
them onto our institutions.
The fate of three of those inmates
suspected of having been thrown onto
this state for support, has already
been taken up with the commissioner
of immigration, and almost any day
the necessary papers will be prepared
for their deportation.

Walla Walla, March 23.-J. A. Nc
Intyre and Paul Erase. alias Paul
Kruger, have been arrested in Burns,
Ore, upon Information furnished from
the sheriffs office Of Walla Walla,
charged with horsestealing. 1t is
claimed that on October 26 and No
vember 13, 1907, three cars of horses
were shipped by these men from Wal
lula, part of the horses going to Miles
City, Mont, and the others going to
st. Louis, Mo. 1t is thought these
men have been operating throughout
Washington and Oregon.
Sheriff Haviland and Deputy Sher-
if Painter have been quietly working
on this case since last October, but
only within the last two weeks have
they had Information sufficient for
arrests. Complaints were made out
last week and warrants issued. Nc
Intyre was arrested last week and Is
now in the Walla Walla county Jail
while Kruger is in custody at Burns.
The matter has been kept very
quiet so the suspects would not learn
they were wanted.
All the officers in the sheriffs of.
flee have worked hard on the case
and believe they have sufficient evi
dence to convict.

Stevens. an American who has acted
as advisor for both the American and
japanese governments in Korean af-
fairs for many years, was shot and
dangerously wounded today by an un-
known assassin, supposedly a Korean
Stevens made many enemies in the
Korean colony here yesterday when
he stated in an interview that the
Japanse invasion Of Korea was of
great benefit to Koreans. Last night
he was assaulted by a committee OF
Koreans in the lobby of the Fair
mount hotel.
II was announced after a hurried
examination that the wound would
probably prove fatal The shooting
occurred as Stevens was stepping into
BUS in front of the Fairmount to
go to the Ferry building.
His assailant was an unknown Ko-
rean. The man who did the shooting
was accompanied by another Korean.
In the excitement the would-be as
sassh shot one bullet into his friend
who had joined him in the assault on
Stevens.
Both Koreans were captured and
the two wounded men taken to an
emergency hospital. The Koreans re-
fused to talk. The assault is the d.
rect result of Stevens interview in a
local paper in which he praised the
work the japanese are doing in Korea
and gave the impression that the Ko-
rerms really welcomed the japanese
protectorate.
