This case may become cause celebre,
as 1t was further complicated by the
refusal of the American immigration
officers to permit Knight, after he was
released on bail and had returned to
Canada to re-enter the United States,
although ne was commanded to do SO
to face trial In the end this prohibition
was overcome after reference to Wash
ington.
knight was accused of having SNUG
gled aliens across the border. In fact,
the immigration officers charged that
this was his principal occupation.
1t occasionally happens that Montreal
taxi drivers are paid large sums to cross
the border with aliens. The taxi drivers
are not looking for trouble-and the
aliens find themselves held up shortly
after crossing the border.
Carelessness Traps Many.
Aliens who have entered the United
States illegally often give themselves
away by their carelessness after getting
across the border. They overlook the
fact that there are immigration officers
and immigration stations inland.
Their enthusiasm over their successful
entry often leads them to abandon pre-
cautions to soon.
So they fall into traps by being too
confiding with new acquaintances.
There are many instances known to the
Montreal officers of the United States
immigration Service Of aliens having
been trapped in Pittsburgh, st, Adams
and other New York and Vermont
points.
The worst feature of this alien traf-
fic via Canada, immigration men say,
Is the conspiring of relatives In Amer
lean cities. They are the ones who
induce kinfolk in Europe to make the
back-gate pilgrimage. They are often
the ones who finance the journey and
who pay the smugglers' agents.
You'll find these agents in just about
every foreign district in New York
Jersey City, Boston, Philadelphia and
other cities. They pose as bankers as
travel representatives. as labor agents.
The border patrol, occupied on the
frontier, has its hands full without
prosecuting these back-of-the con-
spirators.

The underground railroad" runs be-
tween Montreal and Chinatown-BoS-
| ton, New York and Newark
| Over this whisper of a highway travel
hundreds Of contraband Chinese. They
could travel at greater comfort and
more cheaply on Canadian National
express train. But they use the UNDER
| ground because they're furtive, un-
wanted aliens, smuggled by border
jumping syndicates at $3.50 to 81 900 a
head.
Aside from the Chinese, who are so
wild to get into the United States, they
sell themselves into bondage for years

Italians crash the back gate into New
England annually, immigration authori-
ties say.

have many ingenious ruSes for defying
the quota law.
Forty foreigners, according to the
police at Hamilton, Ontario. paid con-
siderable sums to one Louis Michnie-
wicki to ride across the border in this
smuggler'S collins.
The immigrants paid 5000. $500 and
$5O0--according to how much they had
in their money beltS-and climbed into
collins equipped with air vents for
living occupants. Then the collins were
shipped by express to various towns
across the United States border.
Charges Are Robbed.
The foreigners were somewhat
wrinkled and quite hungry when they
were taken out OF their coffin COM
rk,~ &c iyH
of a foreign quarter tenement, but they
were in America and that was the chief
thing
Convicted on a smuggling charge,
Michniewicki was sentenced to six
months in prison. His fellow conspira-
tors got away.
Some of the widest attempts to jump
the border take place up in Vermont
and Northern New York, Two Schenec-
tady, N. Y, men loaded three Czecho-
slovakians in their automobile one night
and dashed over the country road. But
two border patrolmen on motor cycles
gave them q hot chase and ran the car
down at Hyde Park, VT.
The three aliens told a story Of ex-
tortion and mistreatment. That is
nothing new to the immigration men
on the Canadian border. They hear
almost every week of Scoundrelly treat
ment of Struggled aliens.
Sometimes these foreigners are led
to the border. They have already paid
hundreds of dollars to their guides.
But that isn't enough.
The smugglers present revolvers. re-
lieve the Europeans of all they have,
and then abandon them. The immi-
grafton patrols find them stumbling
about In the woods.
Last Summer there were assertions
by the score from foreign merchant
ships docking at Montreal. Crews and
stowaways, according to the Shipping
Federation, cleared out of Italian, Jugo-
slavian and Grek vessels. and stam-
peded southwark across the American
border.
