BORDER INSPECTOR
RESIGNS UNDER FIRE
immigration Official for Texas Says
U. s. Groups Have Sought
Lax Enforcement.

By the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 20
Capt. William NJ. Hanson yesterday
announced his resignation, effective
May s, as immigration inspector in
charge of the twenty-second district,
comprising parts OF Oklahoma
Arkansas and almost 1000 miles OF
the Mexican border In Texas.
Charging that his office has been the
target for "a concerted attack by forces
headed by the United States Chamber
of Commerce in an effort to abridge
the immigration laws or slacken en-
forcement, Hanson said for some time
he had contemplated resigning.
Under his administration, 1850
aliens have been deported, u record,
according to Hanson, for any single
immigration district in the United
States. He was appointed March ..
1923.
THE border is practically air-tight
now and alien smuggling is at a
minimum" he said.
Several weeks ago Capt. Hanson
was questioned by the Senate immigra-
ton committee as to his part in the
deportation of Col. Demetrio Torres,
Mexican revolutionist and alleged
bandit. who was executed in Mexico
last January shortly after he was
sent across the Rio Grande. Hanson
told the committee that he had been
given assurances from high Mexican
officials of Torres safety.

that 1t occurred in Mexican territory.
