By Anthomy Wayne.

rTHE general method employed by these syndi-
Gates is in reality quite simple. Whenever
a Chinese in his native land decides to emigate
to America. the land of plenty dollah." he in
forms the nearest agency of his intention.
First the bond must be arranged. This is
fixed at about 81 500 in gold q part being paid
in cash in advance. All unpaid amounts are
collected ultimately. If an ingenious Chinese
believes that he can somehow evade full pay
ment when he reaches America he is doomed
to disappointment. BY means of threats of ex-
poSure, of blackmail and actual danger to his
life he finds it far safer to meet the bond In
full
When the bond has been signed the Oriental
is placed on board steamer from which he is
ultimately landed at some convenient port on
the Mexican coast generally at Ensenada.
There the syndicate agent meets him, collects
fee and holds him, awaiting reports from spies
and collecting a group for the runner who must
take the contraband across. Eventually full in-
StructionS are given and the Chinese are taken
to place suitable for making dash over the
line.
From that moment on the fate of the alien,
be he Oriental or European, black, white or
brown. rests entirely in the hands of the
smuggler. There is no chance to back out, to
change the arrangement. In one particular in
stance Karr told Of several Chinese who, dis

although 262 aliens were arrested and more
than 800 other aliens were allowed to leave the
United States without being apprehended."
The most difficult stretch Of this Mexican
frontier lies between Yuma, Ariz, and the
Pacific Ocean, where vast areas of mountain

practically unnhabted, furnished ideal territory
for the men smugglers to carry out their plans.
This wilderness spreads out fanwise along
Southern California, with the Mexican border
as its base. its northwesterly point in the noun
tains near Los Angeles and the northeasterly
extending into the dry desert sands of the
Mohave.
About 60 miles inland from the notorious
Mexican resort of Tia Juana, nearly midway
between this town and Yuma, there is a water
hole called Mountain Springs. 1t is believed
that in this vicinity more contraband Orientals
have been struggled into this country than at
any other point. 1t is difficult region 10
patrol.
Another important spot is the seacoast viii
lage of Ensenada, located on the bay Of the
same name in Lower California. Here are the
headquarters Of several smuggling syndcateS
In the various bars and cafes and liquor en-
poriums the details are arranged. 1t is here
that the routes are agreed on and the spies

satisfied with the arrangements, undertook o.
finance their own way and were summarily dis
patched to that limbo where dead men tell no
tales. A rancher near the border one night
heard groans at his door. and, upon opening 1t,
discovered Chinese bleeding from dozen
knife wounds. From the feeble explanation the
rancher learned what had happened and Inn
mediately notified the immigration officers.
A trail of blood was followed through the
desert country. It led them to four Celestials,
huddled together, who had been stabbed to
death The one who had escaped to tell his
story revealed that the group believed that they
might carry out their own plan Of entry.
In another instance independent smugglers
offered to get the aliens across for $500 apiece,
which was half the price asked by the syndicate
who had brought them to the border. They
too. were cold-bloodedly shot down. It might
be argued that the syndicate method is more
costly. although possibly safer one. $<s
Yet, according to walter Karr ana his men.
no method is safe and sure. 80
A T the United States customhouse and inmi-
grafton inspection stations near Tia Juana,
on the international boundary, the oficers one
afternoon saw large motor car approaching
The driver proved to be q man Of refined ap.
pearance. having as his companion fashion,
ably dressed woman, attractive and agreeable.
Regarding this couple as the customary sight
seers, the officers went through the usual rou-
tine OF inspection, while Customs Inspector Al
Schlan7e made the regular inquiries as to pur-
chases in Mexico that might be subject to duty
Satisfied that there was nothing wrong about
the couple or their automobile, Schlanse finally
gave the command, That's ALI"
Then the driver, in his effort to get away
quickly stepped on the starter shifted into low
and tried for second, but in his eagerness he
raSped his gears and stalled his engine
This was not so unusual, but the thing that
aroused the officers suspicious was the vtuper-
ative exclamation from the woman. And since
it seemed SO V iol,y unjustifed, Schlanze sensed
that something was wrong. He thought of
bootlegging. and so he shouted, "Hootch!" to
his fellow officers. while he made a running
leap for the car. He was barely successful in
securing safe handhold as the machine finally
lunt ahead at high speed. With a deafening
roar .45-caliber bullet tore through his coat
sleeve. followed in rapid succession by half
dozen more.
Dropping onto the running board, out of the
line of fire, Schlanze retalated by sending
fuSllade in the general direction of the drivers

UT is desolate stretch of arid land that
reaches from Yuma, Arz., to Tia Juana,
Mexico. It is lonely. 1t is also dam
gerous. Sagebrush. trail, unused, rutty
road and rolling hill may harbor the
desperate smuggler with his cargo of aliens
willing to shoot it out or, if pressed, equally
willing to slaughter his human contraband,
knowing that dead men tell no tales
1t is in such setting that the immigration
officers must risk their lives and against haz-
ards greater, perhaps, than the average SOL
dier experiences in war. No class Of patrol
men have served their country as valiantly,
nor have any been less extoled for their deeds
of daring than these men Of the border.
Because of the lucrative financial rewards
offered for successful smuggling Of aliens into
the United States and because Of the clamor
of thousands for entry, there are now several
large syndicates operating In this unlawful
business. They have excellent financial back
ing and an extensive spy system of their own.
These syndicates have paid huge profits 20
their owners in spite of the efforts of the Gov
eminent to stop the rushing of the border
doors.
In immediate charge of the enforcement
work Is Walter E. Karr. an unaSsuming, quiet
man, who has, nevertheless an enviable record
for jealous border service. He has served for
over 25 years in the immigration service. prin-
cipally along the Canadian line. Recently he
was transferred to the Southwest.
II am not In favor of border patrol In the
Strictest sense of the phrase" Mr.. Karr de-
clared recently, for 1t is utterly impossible to
patrol every foot of the long, lonely expanse
successfully. Experience has shown that the
most effective method Of combating the crimi
nal smuggling syndicate is border supervision;
that is, patrolling and supervising the territory
contiguous to the border. Since all roads that
cross the border eventually converge into main
highways, running through the adjacent noun
famous regions, guarding these main arteries
has proven the most effective method OF deal
ing with the smuggers. This might seem a
sort of hit or miss system, but the results
we have obtained indicate that it Is not

the border service last FALL" Mr.. Karr
explained. during the first three months Of
the last fiscal year these men stopped 282, 799
persons. And in order to accomplish this they
covered over 1900 miles by foot and drove
some sixty-odd thousand miles in automobiles
which makes it apparent that this sort of a
job is no sinecure.
"Of this great number crossing the Mexican
border only eight persons were apprehended
for actual violation of the customs regulations,

Working Principle of
Explosive Engine Old

The basic idea Of the explosive en-.
CINE was conceived long before the
appearance of steam. In 1850 Huygens
described an explosion motor which
was to be operated by discharging Il
.dantity of powder to drive the air
out Of a cylinder and raise the pis-
ton. To that point, his engine relied
on force somewhat similar to the
working principle Of those today, but
the useful work was to be done by
the piston being forced down by the
pressure Of the atmosphere against II.
thus lifting weight or doing some
other task. There is no record that
this engine ever was operated. The
steam engine of 1908 functiOned On
about the same plan. that is, steam
was used to lift the weight of the
piston, and after this was done the
atmospheric pressure was relied upon
for the real work. After Huygens, al
most 100 years passed before inventors
caught the vision of rotary motion
from their engines His idea simply
involved piston and a cylinder

Two-Thirds Majority
Doesn't Mean That

A "two-thirds majority" is merely
a popular way of saying that a candi-
date received two-thirds of all the
votes cast in an election. Suppose, for
instance, 5000 votes are cast, and one
candidate receives 1000 and the other
1000. The latter receives a two-thirds
majority namely, two-thirds of an
the votes cast. In this case the &C.
tual majority over the other candi-
date Is only one-third of all the votes,
and literally "two-thirds majority"
should mean that the difference be-
tween he two figures is two-thirds of
the total number of votes. For in
Stance, If one candidate had received
500 and the other $500, the difference
-2,C00-would equal two-thirds of
the total. But the term is generally
used to express the idea of two-thirds
of all the votes regardless of the num-
Der received by other candidates.

Battlefield Gives Up
Secrets of the Past

There are certain kinds of armOr
which we read about but have never
seen because up TIL now no examples
we're to be found In museums Ite-
Gently, however. many specimens have
been found In two great pits outside
the old city of Visby In the island OF
Gotland.
In 1861 GOtland was invaded by
King Valdemar at the head Of pow
erful Danish army, and desperate
battle was fought before Visby. The
valiant defence of the GOtlanders was
all in vain, and Valdemar marched in
to the capital leaving nearly two
thousand friends and foes dead on the
field. They were buried hurriedly,
with weapons still in the wounds in
two great graves which have not been
disturbed for five and half CEN
turtles.
Recently Swedish archeologlst has
been excavatinG the pits, with their
treasure of medieval armOr and their
poor bones marked by axes and ar

ernments will erect a monument where
