OF stealing a grip from a railroad
train. Albert Taylor. a negro, is ac-
cused of having stolen a trunk from
the Rock Island depot. He is now
back in the county Jail from which he

the Aetna Life Insurance company.
Mr.. Buckley has been visiting friends

The trunk was sent to the depot and

been opened. Arrangements whereby
Mr.. Bulkley's baggage was sent to him
were made at the police station this

HEINZE'S DEFENSE.
Begins With Cross Examination OF
Governments Star Witness.

New York, May 9.-The jurors in the
trial of F. A. Heinze, formerly presl-
dent of the Mercantile National bank
charged with misapplication and over
certifcation were ready for another
ordeal when the trial entered its third
week today in the United States cir
cult court The government closed its
v ork last week after introducing a
large mass of evidence, largely docu--
n entary in an effort to connect HeinZe's
alleged violation of the banking law
with the promotion of speculation in
United Copper stocks conducted by the
firm of Otto Heinze & Co. Motions
for dismissal of various counts on the
indictment are pending.
The governments star witness, John
P. Fernsler, who described last week,
the alleged methods pursued by the
United Copper company in paying GER
tain dividends out of a small amount of
cash, the proceeds of a big loan, was
early put under fire by John B. Stanch-
field of Heinze'S counsel.
The lawyer objected to a reference by
Fernsler to another case as an attempt
to influence the jury and charged
Fernsler with giving out "colored"
statements about the Heinze case to
the newspapers. Fernsler having ac-

Question Was Popped and Answered
In Right Way % Years Ago.

A question popped and answered
in the right way 27 years ago has
inst had its sequel in a wedding at

are old enough to be grandparents.
But each had relatives to look after
when they fell in love and concluded
they could serve their kin better
without being married So they just
remained sweethearts. No day came
that seemed suitable for a wedding
day until day or two ago, when the
wedding ring was added to the en-

made a spirited attack upon the de-
partment Of justice of the federal
government.
The attorney general was defend
ing the cOnstitutiOnality of the So
called Tabor contract law" of Ala
bama. The validity of the law had
arisen in an appeal of Alonzo Bailey,
a negro, from his conviction under
that law of a midemeanOr. He was
charged with intent to defraud his
employers, receiving advance money,
and then breaking the contract. The
department of justice had been per-
mitted to file brief and participate
in the argument of the case as a
friend of the court.
The Charge Irrelevant.
Mr. CARRIER expressed surprise
tnaC the darts from the culver of
Attorney General Wickersham and
Assistant Attorney General Harr

out the case rather than from facts
within He demanded to know what
relevancy to the case at the bar did a

tees in the state of Louisiana have
to this case from Alabama.
1T appears to us to be an innx-
cusable abuse Of the privilege af-
forded the government by this

Assistant Attorney General Harr,
in reply, expressed a willingness to
have the case tried on the facts in

Coming In Shiploads.

At Matamoras, opposite Browns

posite Eagle Pass, and at other
border points Chinese have recently
appeared, and most of them hope
to get into this country. In the
light of past experiences in dealing
with the willy Chinese on the border,
the immigration authorities of the
government have little doubt that
the plotters will, in most instances,
succeed in their plans.
Chinese are being dumped into
Mexico by the hundreds. Shipload
after shipload is brought over and
landed at Manzanillo and Saltina

Chinese labor in that country. and
these importations are usually made
by labor contractors on behalf Of

.Underground Railways.',

Government officers believe that
there are underground railways
systems such as were operated in the
days of slavery in the United States
to aid in the escape of negroes from
bondage, now in operation for the
benefit of the Chinese.
1t is believed that the unlawful
immigration scheme extends to
China, where agents of the organi7a-
lions are said to get the immigrants
together and ship them to Mexico.
A few weeks ago q boat load of
Chinese, numbering. about 700, ar
rived at the port of Salina Cruz, on
the Pacific coast of Mexico. They
were brought direct from southern
China, Ostensibly for the purpose of
working in mines and upon railroads
in Mexico. As was the case with
numerous previous impOrtatiOns Of
Celestials to Mexico this cargo was
divided into numerous groups and
scattered over the country making
their way towards the interior.
