Smuggling Chinese In

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
When contraband Chinese are captured
by the authorities the smuggling ring is
generally out from 5000 to $1,000 for each
man caught and deported. According to
the method employed in getting the
Mongolian into the United States he signs
a paper to pay back in monthly Install
ments money advanced for his delivery in
America.
The ordinary laborer in the Flowery
Kingdom seldom ever sees sum exceed
ing $780, so with the picture of the pos
sibllities offered him in America he read
lily agrees to pay back from his wages
earned in work furnished by his friend or
friends of the smuggling ring any money
spent that will insure him securing a
residence with Uncle Sam.
Sometimes they have to work for five
or six years, according TO the authorities.

Be CENSORSHIP OF
CHURCH PA|NT|NGS
Cardinal Vanutelli Named.
Letter Written by Wife
of Brutus

Rome, August ecial)-Cardinal
Vanutelli has been deputed by Pope Plus
TO report upon the paintings in churches
and converts which his eminence regards
as travesties upon the subjects treated
and unworthy of place in religious build
ings. The cardinal, who is a noted art
critic, had a long conference with his
holiness recently on the topic of church
paintings anu expressed the opinion that a
censorship should be exercised over the
artists. The pope was deeply impressed
and requested vanuteili to investigate the
matter thoroughly and report to him per-
sonally. An encyclical upon this subject
will most likely follow the cardinals in
quiry, which will deal with works of the
old masters as well as modern paintings.
