CHINESE CREW FACES

Tried to Get countrymen Into U. s.,
Say Officials.

Say Officials.
Three Chinese from the crew Of the
Castle Bruce, steamer that docked at
Chester two days ago with a cargo OF
iron ore from the Dutch West indies
will be arraigned before United States
Commissioner Edmonds In the Federal
Building today. They are charged with
attempting to smuggle two of their coun-
trymen into the United states.
thrilling story of narrow escape
by Inspector George Allen, of the Inn
migration Bureau, was brought to light
today following the arrest.
He went to the Castle Bruce two days
ago after receipt of word from Captain
Ernest Howe that he had two stow
aways aboard and that his crew seemed
to be In league with the men. Lining
the eighteen Chinese UP on the deck, Allen
picked the man he thought most likely
to weaken under cross-examination and
went into the cabin with him. Ed Lee,
Chinese interpreter, accompanied the
inspector.
few minutes later there was knock,
and some one told Allen that the cap
tain wanted him, as the crew wanted
to settle. Allen, opening the door, found
the crew crowded into the narrow com
panionway. At their head was a big
Chinese, known as the mo / man."
The inspector pulled his revolver and
threw the ringleader into the cabin. He
slammed the door and bound the man
hand and foot. When he opened the door
again the crew was still there, and
Allen forced the II men ahead of him
up TO the deck. Then he jumped to the
pier and escaped.
The men arrested today are Lem Yee,
Ling Hung and Shaw Chung. Two
Chinese stowaways are now in irons on
the ship.
