MEXICANS
COMING ACROSS
But Official Records Para
doxical; "Enganchados"
Must Be Registered.

So far as Official records go. there
have been more Mexicans entering the
United states since the Iteracy test
went into effect, in May. 1917. than
before. when practically everyone was
admitted. However as a matter Of
actual fact. there are by FAR fewer
immigrants from Mexico at this time
than ever before. This curious para
dox has been discovered by J. b.
Gwin. secretary Of the Associated
Charities. who. so far as he can. is
aiding the government TO enforce the
immigration laws.
The contradictory statements are
reconciled. according to Mr.. Gwin. by
the fact that whenever Mexican a2-
plies to an employment agency for
work he must show a card secured
from the immigration officials. In
this way MeTicans who are entered
illegally must 20 to the immigration
station after they cross. There they
are registered In this manner Cum

Mr.. Gwin said Wednesday that he
had been informed some time ago that
persons below Ysleta were hauling
AfeXlcans 20 this side In skiffs. Charg-
Ing so cents each A number entered
illegally In this way; but the matter
was brought TO the attention OF tho
government and the practice has
stopped, M Gwin IS informed
The enforcement Of the literacy test
is responsible in large measure for
the fact that ChihUahuita Is now IN
more healthy condition than In any

Burns. Mexican consul general in New
York. arrived in Mexico City today
Senior Burns was called home BY the
foreign office and 1t is rumored IN
official circles that on account Of re-
cent events he will not return to the
United States in an official capacity.
Early IN this year Burns was
arrested in New York. charged with
violating the American embargo on
the shipment OF arms to Mexico. Last
month he again came into prominence
by reason Of letters written TO the
chairman Of q local exemption board
in New York protesting against the
calling before the board for e1amlna-
ton Of Jesus Martinez. Mexican vice
consul In New York.
1t was stated that instead Of hav-
ing Martinez comply with the request
OF the exemption board 20 make Out
affldavlts which automatically would
have secured his exemption. Burns
sent an insulting letter to the board.
IN an interview Burns was quoted as
having said that MeXicans had been
forced into the army and that the
exemption boards showed ignorance
OF the rights OF aliens coming before
them.
Later the Mexican government
issued an announcement at Mexico
City specifically denying that Mex
leans had been forced into the Amer
lean army.
