Cuban Smugglers
Still Find Victims

Havana, Cuba.-How many Cubans
are officially in the United States, but
really in Cuba, is being determined by
the secret police in an investigation
into the numerous methods developed
here recently to evade Uncle Sam s
immigration laws.
The return to Cuban ports by Ameri-
can immigration authorities of scores
of Poles and other Europeans, who
have masqueraded as Cubans, has re-
suited in the assignment of Inspector
Donate Cubas to ferret out clandestine
passport agents. His reports, sent first
to the department of the interior, later
were referred to the state department,
and finally to the department of justice,
which has just issued orders that so or
more cases of fraud be expedited as
much as possible SO that few con-
victions may act as a deterrant to old
to enter that promised land.
According to Inspector Cubas the
practice Of contraband runners of en-
gaging to land cargo of immigrants
on the American coast, and then on
some desolate Cuban beach after rob-
bling them of all but their clothes, has
forced everybody but the Chinese to
abandon that route. The supply Of
young Anne ricans who, for consider
alton, are willing to marry foreign
women Of appropriate age and accom-
pany them as far as Key West or New
ork, also has become exhausted, al
though it is believed that few may
become available when the racing sea-
son ends.
Stoppage of these routes, according
to the inspector, has resulted in The
development of the following ingen-
ious scheme. The passport crook, af-
ter securing retainer from his client,
looks about for Cuban who has no
intention of travelling, but who looks
like the immigrant. If possible this
Cuban is induced, for a consideration,
to secure a birth certificate IL he has
none, and to apply for citizenship
certificate, which will permit him to
enter the United States.
Once the certificate is secured a
photograph of the immigrant, is sub
stituted for that of the Cuban, and the
former is ready to run the gauntlet of
the American immigration Office. Those
who do not take the precaution of
learning Spanish, however, generally
are out of luck, unless they have picked
up enough English to pass some I'M
suspecting, non-Spanish speaking in
spector. Whatever happens, the pass
port fixer gets his bit and the business
has proven lucrative.

Williams S, Romance
Has Come to An End?
(By Associated Press)

(by Associated PreSSJ
Doorn--The honeymoon of William
and Hermine has at last come to an
end, in the opinion of the inhabitants
of Doom. The pleasant walks arm in
arm along the solitary roads of the
village, under the protection of. a cap
tain of the Dutch gendarmerie, ended
abruptly some time ago. The disap-
pearance of the couple from the vii
lage streets gave rise to numerous
rumors to the effect that the former
emperor was seriously ill, or that an
attempt had been made upon his life,
but investigation has failed to show
any authority for either statement.
For about three weeks it has been
reported deep discor4 existed between
them. One reason assigned was that
William bore with difficulty the die
tatorial tone of his wife who insisted
that at the castle everyone, not ex-
GLIDING her husband, should act and
conduct himself according to her ideas.
Hence Hermine has been in constant
hot water, for her attitude was re-
scented. Nevertheless both Hermine
and her daughter were both present
at dinner given on the occasion of
Williams anniversary.
In spite Of the evident tension, it is
not believed that rupture is immi-
nent. Hermine's children are still
living with their old nurse in the build
ing at the entrance to the park, and
Hermine occupies her apartment in
the chateau not far from that of her
husband.
This fact, however, seems to be es-
tablished. Since his marriage Will
liam has become thinner and appears
much older. All who have seen him
during the past few days remark how
i'll he is looking and how feebly he
walks.

VETS WHET AXE
FOR SEVERSON LAW
Caucus on Tuesday Night Declares for
Repeal of the Law and Support
of Other Measures.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.


Madison, Wis. Vets in the Wis
consin legislature determined at tkeir
second caucus held last night to de-
mand repeal of the Severson prohibit
ton enforcement statute, as provided
for in the Tucker bill now before the
lower house. They also will support
the Peterson resolution memorializing
congress to amend the Volstead act to
permit manufacture and sale of beer
and light wines.
There were SO assemblymen and five
senator's at the caucus presided over
by Senator Merritt F. White, Winnie
come. They were unanimous in the
belief that fight should be made for
repeal of the Severson enforcement act,
despite state ment credited to Cover
NOR Blaine that he would veto any such
measure that would reach him.
1t Is significant that the vets de-
termined to stage their first battles
In the lower house. Here they are in
undisputed contSol and expect to hold
decisive majority on any proposal
they submit on prohibition. It is their
belief that large vote may influence
some senators now on the fence with
regard TO the issue.
On top Of the vets determination to
try for repeal Of the state enforcement
statute, came an Anti-Saloon League
announcement that the drvs in the
Senate were prepared to force the is
sue on q prohibition referendum. They
let 1t be known that a substitute
amendment would be submitted to the
Burke resolution urging Congress to
repeal the 18th amendment, calling for
referendum on the matter.
The fight is expected to break in the
assembly next week.

for the city to secure only small
amount of land on the lake shore
known as the "Pennoyer property" Il
is known that this property, consist.
ing of little less than twenty three
acres, can be secured by the city at a
price which has been considered fair
to all concerned.
The plan has been formally laid lie.
fore the council and 1t has the com
plete sanction of the members of that
body but before the transfer of the
lands can be made It will be neces-
,sary to secure the enactment of spe-
cial legislation by the state legisla-
ture to permit the transfer being
made. The property on the lake shore
was ceded to the city as park lands
and the legislature must amend its
law by giving the city the right to
transfer the property.
Ask Legislature for Rights.
City Manager @. M. Osborn and City
Attorney G. E. Randall will go to
Madison the first part of next week
and formally seek from the legisla.
ture the new legislation necessary to
carry cut the plan. It is not thought
that there will be any objections on
the part Of state officials to the grant
ing of the special legislation neces-
sary. 1t IL expected that members of
the "state lands" committee will be
invited to come to Kenosha and look
over the situation in order that they
may fully appreciate the plan and
what it contemplates and the great
value Of that transfer to the city OF
Kenosha and its future.
Great Park System.
"This exchange Of lands would Eive
to the city the most interesting, the
most beautiful and the most valuable
park and boulevard system owned by
any city in Wisconsin not excluding
the city of Milwaukee," declared one
of the proponents Of the plan this
morning. SIT would open the way for
the development of q boulevard sys-
tenn up through the beautiful valley
Of the Pike river to connect with a
similar system running south from
Racine. The cost of the development
of this wonderful park and boulevard
system would be comparatively small
and best of all it would give the as
surance to the people of Kenosha that
this beautiful stretch of territory and
this stretch of lake shore would be
perpetually set aside for the uses of
the ueoule The land will fit into the
work that the city has already done
and it would be possible to start the
boulevard system on Washington Is
land and run it all the way to the
north limits of the splendid new park
Every feature Of park and recreation
facilities can be provided for in this
great territory"

FLOOD OF FOREIGN WATERS.
.fBy Associated Pressl


London.-The British waiter is grad
ually disappearing, and foreigners are
taking his place. This is particularly
noticeable in Soho and some of the
leading West End restaurants which
are managed by Italians, Greeks and
Polish >Jews, who prefer walters of
their own race rather than the Eng
lishman.
During the war Soho became almost
English in character, but of late the
foreign invasion has changed cendi-
tions. Foreign managers naturally
help their own coantrymen, but an
other reason is found in the fact that
foreigners will work for considerably
less money than the average English
man. There are also waiter agencies
which find jobs for the foreigner in
the smaller "off street" restaurants
and collect high fees from the appli-
cant as we'll as take proportion of
his weekly earnings. If these are not
paid regularly, their employers are in
formed and the waiter loses his Job.

ment purchase of the Cape Cod canal,
