IMMIGRATION OFFICERS
CHARGED WITH GRATING

SEATTLE, June 15.--E. S. Jelley, jr,
an interpreter of Indian languages for
the United States immigration offices
on the Pacific coast, is accused of de-
manding bribes from Hindus seeking
to enter this country, and on the re-
fusal of the Hindus to accede to his
demands of having so misinterpreted
their answers to questions put by the
immigration inspectors that they were
refused admission and ordered de-
ported, in a petition for rehearing filed
in the immigration office last night by
sixteen natives of British India, who
arrived on the steamer Minnesota June
4. These Hindus were refused admit
tance at the immigration station.
According to an affidavit of Lal
Raum, a Hindu, and filed with the
petition, Jelley told him that if he
could raise e25 sterling from the ap-
plicants he would see that they were
permitted to enter the United States.
He requested Lal Raum to call on him
at his hotel, but the Hindu failed to do
this. A few days later Lal Raum met
Jelley, who asked him why he did not
call at the hotel as agreed, and when
told by Lal Raum that he was unable
to see him, said, according to the at
fidavit, "Well, you see your people did
not get to enter this country"

CAR CRUSHES FOOT OF
DEPUTY ASSESSOR SAGE
Walks Two Blocks to City Re-
Ceiving Hospital

Despite the fact that the bones of
his right foot were crushed beneath
the wheels of an Angeleno Heights car
at First and Spring streets shortly after
II o'clock last night, Clyde NJ. Sage,
50 years old, former deputy coroner
under Lanterman, and at present a
deputy city assessor, walked from the
scene of the accident to the receiving
hospital, more than two blocks away,
and asked the police surgeons to at
tend to his injury.
Sage, who is out on five years proba-
tion on a charge of malfeasance in Of
flee, has been employed for the past
four months in the city assessors Of
flee, where he has been on duty at
night Last night he attempted to
board a street car when he slipped
and his right foot went under the
wheels of the rear trucks. Sage clung
to the hand rail of the car and was
dragged a short distance. He released
his grip on the car and fell to the
pavement.
The injured man arose and, although
his foot panied him terribly, he made
his way to the receiving hospital and
calmly looked on while the surgeons
were examining the injured foot. 1t
was necessary to amputate the great
toe.
Sage lives at s15 North Figueroa

VILLAGES SWEPT
AWAY BY RIVERS
Persons Who Left Houses to ES-
cape the Waters Were
Drowned in Trees
Associated Press1

COLOGNE, Germany, June 10
Stories of death and the suffering of
survivors are brought by refugees from
the flood valley of the Abr. The waters
are rapidly subsiding, but while at
their height they wrought great dam
age. Several villages on the banks of
the river Abr were literally washed
away. Houses, collapsing, buried
their occupants beneath the flood So
strong was the current that it swept
away locomotives and steam rollers as
a child might scatter it's toys. In some
instances where the villagers driven
from their homes, by the waters, lacked
time to reach the hilltops, they climbed
into branches of trees, only to be
drowned as the rising waters tore the
trees up by their roots and bore them
away. Near the mouth of the Abr
river a rescuing party recovered the
bodies Of a woman and an infant. The
little one was tightly clasped in the
mothers arms.

Former President DeIuged with
Messages by Wireless

ON BOARD KAISERINE AUGUSTE
VICTORIA, BY WIRELESS TO CAPE
RACE, N. F., June 15.-This steamer,
which includes among its passengers
former President Roosevelt, entered the
American zone of wireless telegraphy
today. At noon the vessel was 1165
miles east of Sandy Hook. She should
be off the hook at $50 o'clock Satur-
day morning and dock about II o'clock.
Roosevelt appeals to the public to
refrain from sending him any but i'm
portant messages. Three wireless op-
orators on board are engaged constant
ly in handling Roosevelt messages. The
replies to these messages cost Roose-
welt heavily and he is compelled to
leave many unanswered.
Colonel Roosevelt told those on board
who talked to him that he should de-
cline to discuss politics or to make
speeches anywhere until two months
after his arrival in the United States.
He will make this plain Immediately
he lands by further statement of his
attitude.

PANAMA CANAL IS
HOOOOO OF FIGHT
Governor ForbidS Battle, Fearing
to Lose Big Exposition
in 1915

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The move
of the state authorities of California
to stop the Jeffries-J johnson prize fight
is believed in Washington to have had
its origin in a telegram Representative
Bennett Republican of New York, sent
to William r. Wheeler, president of the
San Francisco chamber of commerce,
May 2S.
The telegram was to the effect that
the moral sentiment of the country was
so opposed to the fight that unless it
was prevented there was grave dan
ger that congress would take unfa-
vorabe action on the resolution now
before it, naming San Francisco as
the place for holding the international
celebration of the opening of the Fan
anna canal.
Mr.. Bennett is a member of the for
eign affairs committee of the house that
has the exposition resolution under
consideration.
He recently received telegram from
San Francisco asking his support of
the resolution for the san Francisco
fair He replied as above.
When informed today that Governor
Gillett had moved to call off the fight
Mr. Bennett was much gratifed. He
said:
prize fighting is prohibited by law
sentiment of the country is, 1 be-
Iieve, strongly opposed to such exhibi-
tons"
In response to his telegram, Mr.. Ben
nett received one from Mr.. Wheeler,
which said:
please urge your committee that
the public-spirited citizens promoting
the San Francisco exposition, and peo-
pie generally interested therein are not
favorable to the JeffriesJ Johnson fight.
Undoubtedly the majority of our peo-
pie are opposed to the fight. 1t would
be decidedly unjust to consider the
latter proposition in connection with
the former"
The foreign affairs committee will
consider tomorrow the resolutions of
San Francisco and New Orleans, ask
ing for recognition for their proposed
expositions.
In view of the action of the Cali
fornia authorities on the proposed prize
fight it is understood Mr. Bennett will
favor San Francisco as against New
Orleans for the exposition.
