is now the one town in the circuit
which is inimical to the interests of
the league.
Not Advancing Argument.
Now, mind. you, this is no argument
that Lynchburg wants to stay in the
league or that Lynchburg may not sur
render the franchise before the sea
son opens. Lyuchburg may decide to
drop out But what | have tried 10
say is that lot of press agent work
is being done to convince that Lynch
burg is SO shay that there is no
chance of the team coming TO the
front. This does not come from
Lynchburg, but from Norfolk and
Richmond. In Lynchburg the only
untoward thing that has happened is
that the stock offered to the fans has
not been oversubscribed.

burg. and Everybody knows it. If
the team has lost money since Grim
was at the helm it does not prove

to have the league circuit increased

IMMIGRATION BUREAU IN SAN
FRANCISCO WILL GET AN
OVERHAULING WHEN COMMITS
soNER RETURNS FROM HA-
WAU.


San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Pending
the early return Of Chief immigration
Commissioner Daniel ]. Keefe from
Hawaii, rumors OF the biggest shake
up In the history of the immigration
bureau in San Francisco are rife.
Those who profess to know advance
the information that the charges will
be startling, and will effectually break
up the slave smuggling. band OF Chi
nese and white men.
1t is reported that Commissioner
Keefe, during his keying up of the
bureau at Honolulu, is investigating
charges that Chinese are smuggled
into the United states by Honolulu
sailing vessels. Occasionally the
Pacific Mail liners stay in the har-
Dor at Honolulu over night, and at
these times 1t Is claimed, Chinese
stowaways are landed at Honolulu.
The sailing vessels, carrying the stow
aways and one or more agents of the
smugglers. enters San Francisco and
some times is searched perfunctorily
by the federal agents, but frequently
not at all, because of the fact that the
vessel comes from a domestic port.
That experienced customs officials
from Washington have been working
for six months eliminating suspected
employees from the customs service
here was authoritLtively stated today.
The suspects were placed on duty
under conditions that would reveal
their delinquencnes 1t is said that
this method resulted in the elimina-
tion from suspicion of all but two
men in the service.
In the meantime government
agents have been working to trace
the agents of the smugglers in vari-
Gus coast cities to whom were con-
signed the Oricntals that lllicitly
food the country. Washington au-
thorities directed the customs and
Immigration bureaus at Seattle, Port
land, Los Angeles and San Diego to
cooperate in these operations, but 1t
Ia not known here whether the trans
shipment OF the smuggled Chinese
were definitely traced.
