CONE ACROSS BORDER
More Than Fifty Leave Lower
California On Account

Calexieo, Cal, Aug. 23.-Told that
Carranza had ordered Mexican banks
in which were deposited their savings
to pay only in constitutionalist cur
rency after September first, on which
date they were to be driven out of
Lower California, half a hundred
Chinese crossed the international
boundary here today. Immediately
they were rounded up and jailed by
immigration inspectors. They will be
.deported.
Investigation by federal authorities
disclosed that there had been cam
paign of propaganda spread among the
Chinese to induce them to leave their
jobs in Mexico and walk boldly into
the United States.
According to the Chinese they were
not only told of the move against them
by Carranza, but were advised that
the exclusion act of the United States
had been suspended and that they
could locate here without challenge.
The purpose for inducing the Chinese
to invade" the Imperial Valley is not
clear. 1t became known today that
the Chinese were met at the line by
certain automobile stages and charged
500 each as fare to towns within a
radius of few miles, officers declare.
As many Americans as Mexicans
spread the "news" that they were to
be deported and their savings virtual
ly confiseated, it is said.
Some profess to see in the matter a
coup to rid Lower California of many
Chinese, since it was thought that
they would be deported to China from

Forty First national guard division,
Captain W. G. Fleischacker, construc-
tion quartermaster, received orders to-
day to proceed with construction Of tho
