A Trick That. Failed

Yesterday morning one Juan
Mendoza tried to make II sneak
across the international line
without the passport so neces-
sary. From a point on the
south side of International Ave
nue. the man across the street
directly into the entrance there
of the Broadway Store, passing
through that section of the
store into the main store, thence
out upon Morley Avenue,
through one of the entrances
on that street.
Customs Inspector White, on
duty at the east side of Morley
Avenue, where it connects with
international Street, saw the
of the willy Individual
and OWNED the intention. So
he ran across Morley Avenoe to
the entrance there, with the re-
suit that the fellow ran right
into custody. He was taken to
the immigration office and turn
ed over to the officials there.
