WOMAN'S QUICK WIT
HALTS SMUGGLING
OF FOUR CHINAMEN

ALBANY, N. Y, April g.
Quick wit of a woman ticket
seller on toll bridge aided fed
eraI officials today in blocking
an alleged plot to smuggle four
Chinese into the country.
Because of advices that
party of Chinese were being
taken secretly from the Cana
dian border to New York city,
Chinese Inspector Albert B.
Wiley and Deputy Revenue Col
lector William Scott were
scrutinizing closely every auto
mobile that passed down Broad
way today. A touring car
aroused their suspicious and
they followed it in another
automobile. AS the machines
turned onto the Greenbush
bridge, spanning the Hudson
river, Inspector Wiley ordered
the chauffeur of the suspicious
car to stop. The Car was halted,
but the driver would not shut
off his engine. Mrs. William
Chambers, ticket agent of the
toll bridge, seeing from the
window of her Office that some-
thing was wrong, signaled to
the draw tender and the bridge
was opened, halting the car.
The four Chinese, with their
queues cut off and their faces
stained to- give. them the ap-
pearance of muIattoes, were
found under a pile of gunny
sacks in the rear of the car. In
default of $4,000 bail they were
sent to Jail.

gard to some of the departments and

bill providing a retirement system
would be reported to the Senate at the
present session and speedily acted upon.
Eliminate Gas Provision
The Senate struck from the bill a
provision inserted in the House which
provided that hereafter the govern
ment should got pay in excess of 10
cents a thousand cubic feet for gas

trict of Columbia. There was no debate
over the amendment.

OUT of the bill was that which pro-
hibited appointment to any places in

 It is difficult to imagine a Blue team with a six-point lead permitting itself to be overtaken and then out distanced by a smaller college team, week before the annual game with Princeton and two before the Harvard encounter. But that was Yale's mis- fortune in the game with Brown. Aft ter Braden had twice booted the oval across the bar for field goals, netting six points, the Ellis stopped short, missed fire in several vital sections and then blew up with staccatto re- port. After that Brown rallied it's forces and swept the Blue host off the gridiron in disorganized retreat.
 Yale was unable to present it's strongest front for the contest on ac- count of the permanent disability of Robert Bingham, left haIfback, be- cause preliminary symptoms of kid ney trouble had developed and Ring- ham left the squad 2 weeks ago aft CT diagnosis of his case had been it was not in this position alone that Yale appeared to a disadvantage.
 The Brown game showed plainly that regardless of the. glowing ac- counts concerning the material at Yale it is not nearly so good all things considered as it was in 1914 and 1915. Outside of Black and Gait, the line gives no evidence of real strength, and showed a Jack of knowledge of the fundamentals. Af- ter Braden had twice booted the ball Brown backs wrought havoc with the Blue forward line. Larry Bank hart the one-time Dartmouth star, who is coaching Colgate, asserted re- l gently that Yale had surprisingly weak forward line, and the Brown game bore out this statement. The sole encouraging feature fro ma Yale viewpoint was the great drop kicking 1 of Braden. He may prove danger ous factor against Princeton.
