only for the most cursory examinations.
The man and the girl stepped out,
Inspector Schlanze looked in the car,
saw no contraband liquor and waved
them to go ahead.
But when the motorist fumbled with
the cars gear shift and seemed to get
more disturbed as the car baked, the
immigration inspector became suspi-
cious.
He walked over to the car again and
1t sputtered ahead. He jumped on the
running board and told the driver to
stop.
Instead, either the man or the girl
fired AS revolver at Schlanze. A bull
let went through his arm, but he hung
on.
In the running fight that followed the
car plunged in ditch and the motorist
was killed.
Inspector Schlanze found two Chi
neSe wedged like sardines In a specially
built rear compartment. He said he
could not imagine how the Orientals
were shoe-horned into the compart-
ment, but there they were.

Hide on Islands on Coast.
Off Santa Barbara are two islands,
frequented for years by rum runners as

shelter aliens until opportunity is found
TO hustle them into speed boats and
bring them to the mainland.
At San Francisco the immigration
men have as difficult a problem as that
In New York. There are so many OPP
portunities for smuggling aliens ashore
along the waterfront that it is impos-
sible to stamp out the traffic. Some
times the fumigating of ship from the
Orient will send a score of stowaways
stumbling and weeping up on deck into
the waiting arms of the immigration
officials.
The steamship companies. which

suffer fines Of as much as $500 If
an alien undesirable Is caught aboard
one Of their ships, do all they can to
stop this smuggling. Their bonding
companies employ private detectives to
watch the wharves when ships dock.
Usually the aliens are put over the
side before freighters enter the Golden
Gate. Motorboats appear alongside at
night and the aliens jump in, then
there's dash for q secluded point on
shore.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Is a
haven for aliens intent on getting into
the United States. For $50 a head they
can take passage on motorboats down
Puget Sound and usually be landed at
some point on the mainland above

immigration officials said Chinese are
struggled in aboard Pacific liners, hidden
by coolie members of the crews.
In one instance, as a liner from Yoko-
hama was entering Elliott Bay, Seattle
Harbor, the captain learned that half a
dozen Chinese were being hidden In the
hold.
The grapevine" whispers reached the
hold ahead of the captain and the
struggled aliens were warned One
jumped overheard and started SWIM
ming, but was drowned. The others
were captured and turned over to immi-
grafton officials.
Canada is a corridor for Chinese
bound for the United States. Canada
collects $500 head tax and sets the
Chinese immigrants loose. Smugglers
charge $25 to $50 to bring an alien
across Puget Sound into the United
States.
Right now there Is an influx of Rus
slams, many of whom have made their
way across Siberia and landed, finan-
cially upside down, in Chinese water
front districts.
Their future hopeless in the Orient,
they are exerting all their ingenuity in
smuggling themselves across the Pacific
in the hope of penetrating into this
bourgeois land.
Oftentimes, immigration authorities at
West Coast ports say, the Russians do
not hope In vain.
Dramatic adventures of the border
patrol in tracking smugglers are mar

Out in San Diego, Los Angeles, San

frankly there is day-after- day stream
of Chinese and Japanese, Russian
emigres, German and Polish sailors
pouring through West Coast gateways
into the United States.
From the south the aliens are picked

ported to California flying fields.

Smugglers Are Confident.
Federal immigration inspectors at
Los Angeles said they hesitated to guess
at the number of aliens smuggled across

the United States.
But millions Of dollars advanced

A similar natural landing field on the
edge of the Mojave Desert is believed
by Federal men to be used by airplanes
as Northern terminus and q diStrib-

A private landing field south of San

Water routes, over which land-locked
immigration inspectors have no control,
are said by them to carry most of the
Smuggled aliens. In pre-war days two
