Among other things he said:
"We need something more than the
growing sentiment Of brotherhood;
something more than the recognition
Of our mutual dependence, essential as
these are. TO the tasks OF democracy
the best thought and the most I'M
selfish effort of educated America must
be dedicated. To the men of intel

acumen and foresight, we must look
for something more than exhibitions
of shrewdness and skill In the man
agement OF their individual concerns,
for something more than proficiency
In the promotion and conduct OF enter
prise. From them we have right to
expect unwavering loyalty to the cause
of self government and pride in un-
selfish public service transcending the
pride Of individual achievement

CHINESE SWIM RIO GRANDE
TO EVADE IMMIGRATION LAW
JaiIs Along MexiCan-Texas Line
Filled with CeIestiaIs
Especial 10 Tie Herald)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 27.-Al-
though a bunch of fifty was deported
only a few days ago, jails along the
Mexican border are again being filled
with Chinese who have made their en-
trance into the United States illeg-
ally. Already seven have been cap
tured at Ell Paso and like number
at points between there and Laredo.
Most of the Celestials gain admls-
sion to this country by swimming the
river at places difficult to guard. Gen
orally this is done under darkness
and with the aid of men said to make
the smuggling of Chimes regular
business. Any price from $500 up IS
charged the Chinese for this service.
On reaching American soil they are
kept in hiding until an opportunity
presents itself for their transport to
the larger cities, usually effected by
means of boXcars.
It is claimed that collusion with
American freight trainmen makes the
latter phase of this Illicit traffic pos
sible. A boXcar intercepted some
time ago contained nine Chinese fully
fitted out for a trip to St. Louis, to
which point the car had been billed.
The efforts of the immigration author
tiles to break up the combination
making the practice possible have so
far not been successful

PRETTY STAGE ASPIRANT
SUES ACTOR-PLAYWRIGHT
Wanda FraiSher Tells Court III.
P. Neves Failed to Fulfill
His Contract

"Social Strenuosity" is the title of a
skit that never has been staged, but
which has caused a bitterly contested
civil action between NJ Wanda
F'raisher, pretty young aspirant for
stage honors, and M. P. Neves, an
actor. Mrs. Neves is also made a de-
fendant.
After devoting all of yesterday to
the case, Justice Summerfield took it
under advisement until June II. In the
complaint filed by Miss Fraisher it is
alleged that during the latter part of
ing month he borrowed S144.
from her and that during the follow
ing month he borrowed a like sum.
From testimony brought out at the
trial it appears that Miss Fraisher and
her brother, together with Mr.. and
Mrs. Neves. agreed to go on the stage,
each of them to take a part in a
playlet entitled Social Strenuosity."
in which Miss Fraisher was to take the
leading role. Neves claims that he
was appointed manager of the COM
pany by the leading lady and that he
wrote the play, and devoted three
months of time to perfecting each one
in their roles. thus contending that
whatever money he secured from Miss
Fraisher was used for the benefit of
the company Neves has filed a cross
complaint seeking $299 for three
months salary.
The complaining witness testified
that members of the company agreed
to furnish their own wearing apparel
and that when Neves informed Miss
Fraisher he was short of funds, she
advanced him 1924 so that he could
provide clothes and other necessities
for his wife and self.
It was brought out on cross exam
ination that Neves used a large part
of the money given him by Miss
Fraisher to send his aged father east
and when questioned by the complain
ants attorney as to whether that part
of the money went for the benefit OF
the troup, he replied in the affirmative
and stated that he could not have
proceeded on any circuit if he had his
father with him.
On the stage Miss F'raisher is known
as "Billie Hall" The name Billie
was given her when she made hit
singing many of Billie Burke's songs
Miss Fraisher and her mother live
in the queen apartments at 529 West
California street.
