CANADIAN JAILED
Caught While Trying to Avoid Pay
ment Of Head Tax

Because he preferred taking an under
ground route and lied to the immigration
inspector. Edmond Smard. young Cana
dian. will be obliged to serve 60-day
sentence in Washington county Jail for
attempting to violate the immigration
laws when he could have come into this
country without trouble by paying the
required head tax of eight dollars and
thereby complied with the law.
Simard attempted to get over the line
at Newport by the use If a bapti - u
paper which was not his own but winch
had been sert him for the purpose by a
man in Lynn. He was noticed on the
train by an immigration man to whom
he stated that he was born in Lynn and
Ind lived there all his life. Still, he
could not speak word of English and
the officer thought the case was worth
looking into. AS result he was taken
before the immigration inspectors board
at Newport and it developed that the
birth certificate which he showed was not
his own.
The inspectors found other interesting
things among which was a letter, which
had been written in Lynn telling Simard
10 get into a Pullman If possible when
riding over the line as the inspection
would not be so strict there. He was also
"oN'oco u puy some EhBilSh newspapers

down and told his story to the inspectors,
with the result that he was arrested. He
had never been in the United States be-
fore but had been promised work in Lynn
with big wages and was on his way
there. The man with whom he had the
correspondence had sent along the birth

for Train

The close watch which Is being kept
along the Canadian border for Bolsheviki,
resulted in the deportation Friday OF
Joseph Broigroloff. fine appearing
yong Russian, six feet tall and 80 years
of age Broigrooff succeeded in getting
over the line and as far as East Berk-
shire before he was apprehended. He
had with him quantity of bolshevik
literature and stated tn the inspectors
when asked how It happened that he
spoke English so we'll, that he had been
to college In New York city three years
Broisroloff admitted under the exam
nation that he was n Bolshevik and had
been for the last few years in Russia.
He had left that country, bound for the
United States. In England he had en-
deavored to get a passport from con-
sui. but, failing thir, he determined to
come along anyway and secured Job on
a steamer bound for Halifax. When he
reached that place, he deserted mis-
steamer and got to Montreal, where he
secured a ticket for Highwater which
is the last Canadian point before going
over the line into the United States.
The man showed that he knew his
geography well, for ne knew that he could
get into the United States at Richford
while ostensibly bound for Highwater.
for the railroad enters this country for
a few miles and then goes back into
Canada. He tried to avoid all appear
ances of getting of the train at Rich
ford but just before the train reached
Richford he walked to the rear and when
he thought no one was looking. got off
the car on the side away from the station
and made for some woods nearby
His absence was noticed soon by the
immigration officials and inspector A. L.
Weeks was notified. He in turn stirred
M the country about and the fine look
ing Russian was apprehended by conn
try sheriff In East Berkshire. where he
was waiting for n train. He had walked
cross-country. a distance of five miles.
Bridegroom was taken to the board of
Immigration inspectors at Newport and
there was put under examination. His
literature was examined and contained
much red-hot stuff, which probably would
be used for samples In the country and
copied extensively. He finally admitted
the whole thing. He said that his rar-
ents were living in the United States,
but he could produce no evidence to that
effect. AS result Of the hearing,
Broigroloff was ordered deported. At the
Canadian line were waiting the anxious
Canadian officers. who speeded the Rus
sian back to his boat and he will soon
md himself back in England. where ne
may not remain long il they find him.
Never in the history Of the mmgra-
ton department has II been called on to
do so much work as at present. Last

Half in Federal Penitentiary-
Other Sentences Given at Spe-
ciaI Session of United States
Court

The business Of illegally conducting
aliens across the Canadian border into

Thursday afternoon by Judge Harland b.
Howe at special session of United

fenced to the federal prison at Atlanta,
Ga, for one year and half and his son,
Kenneth was sent to Jail for six months,
following their pleas of guilty to bring

the authorities were notified, with the
result that Taylor was arrested. He said
in his own defense that he had written
the letter to the girl in order to stop
her from chasing him around" Judge
Howe told Taylor that he didn't believe

the contrary. The business of sending
such matter as that to young girl was
a pretty serious offense. District Attorney
Billiard favored fairly severe sentence.

utmost Importance to the breaking ur
Of the business OF smuggling in aliens.
The country is being disturbed from one
end to the other by foreigners who came
into the country lawfully" said Judge
Howe, in laying emphasis on the fact that
this border traffic must cease. District
Attorney Billiard recommended a sentence
of year I'm prison for Broe and. for the
first time, Judge Have made the sem
