TWO OF the men arrested in El Paso
were seen by the proprietor of q South
Firsi street restaurant when he
opened his place early that morning
This was short time after their ar
rival according to the statement I'M
migration Inspector V. Il. Partch OBJ
tained from one of them.
Inspector Partch found one of the
trio QW0k Ben Gee, on board Santa

Owoks position in the car seat led
the Inspector to believe he was not

ward learned from him was not right
fulIv his OWOk was held
Qwok had a railroad ticket 20 Chi
cago. Mr. Partch learned that two
tickets had been sold, not to the
Cinnamon, however. This set him to
looking for QwOk' travelling compan-
ion whom he was unable to find. 1t
e NOT known how the latter whose
name is Joe Joke, escaped detection,
bat railroad men suggest he might
have dropped off the side of the
train opposite the station and climbed
aboard after it started. An old-style
coach. carrying MeXicans, was on the
rear of NO. that night and Joe could
have gotten into the train through
the open vestibule.
The Inspector wired to immigration
officials at Kansas City to head off
Joe They did, but as he had

they allowed him To get back on the
train However. they wired to the
Chicago officers to pick him up MI
Panch received word yesterday that
Joe had been caught at the Santa Re
terminal
The third Chinaman, who was with
the party, was going TO San Francisco,
the Inspector learned from Qwok He
teegraphed authorities AT San Fran
cisco To catch the third Celestial
The story wormed from the man
caught here was this: They had
crossed the Mexican border into New
Mexico. somewhere west Of lei Paso.
They went to El Paso. From there
they We're brought here in an auto
mobile by two men, one Of whom slept
most of the time, the other driving.
They met with an accident on the way
and the car was taken 10 a garage
here Mr. partch found where the
ear had been repaired and learned
when it started back to Fl Paso. He
sent word by wire to immigration Of
flcials there to be on the lookout
The Information gained by Mr..
Partch was withheld from the press
until The government had chance to
spring the trap which appeared to be
perfectly laid with the amount of
knowledge acquired by him.
The alleged smugglers We're seen
by Captain O'Grady and Parolman
NJ. b SohuU after they mad dis
charged the Chinese. Their "hunch y
was on the job and when they saw
the auto coming out of the alley be-
tween First and Second streets on Gold
avenue they ordered the driver to pro-
coed to headquarters They looked
through the list OF stolen autos, failed
to find the car listed and having no
valid excuse for holding the men,
We're forced to let them go The fact
that they espied the auto as it came
out of the alley indicates that the
time was probably short after they
had dropped their cargo.
Inspector Partch left last night for
El Pas0 with Qwok, having been tele-
eraphed yesterday by the department
the treasury that warrant had
been issued Qwok is to be given a
nearing in lei Paso to determine
whether he should be deported. In
me event that the finding is against
MN deportation will be suspended I'M
I'll the alleged smugglers are tried.
