CHINA BOY NO
GOT CHOCK GEE
NOT VELLY BAD
Willy Orientals Hooking
Uncle Sam For Trip To
Land OF Fathers

immigration officers in Imperial
Valley are thoroughly convinced
that a wholesale migration OF Chin
ese from Mexico into the United
States, and thence to China, is un-
der way.
Nothing but concerted effort, or
some plot Of some sort, officers are
convinced, could account for the
great numbers of Orientals who
have crossed the Mexican line of
late.
Hing Sung, 67, was the latest TO
be found on this side OF the inter-
national line, minus his "chock
gee, the Chinese term for the iden-
tification papers which show a ce-
lestian has a legal right to be in
the United States. "Chock gee, no
got" means a trip to Jail for the
Chinese saying it. Hing was arrest
ed in CaleXico, and lodged in the
county Jail last night. He raised
the total of Chinese in the county
Jail to 45, with nine more arrested
this morning and expected momen-
tarily at the Jail to raise the total
to 54.
Since March 18 immigration men
arrested At Orientals. Hing Sung
was the only one who had the
honor of being alone when arrested.
On March 13 the officers arrested
nine in one flock, March 19 eigh.
were picked up together, March 20
six were taken, March % five fell
into the hands of officers, nine
were arrested March 25, and nine
yesterday. ,
OF the Chinese arrested, none car
ried any money, nor did any have
food. Most of them were arrested
in groups, blythely ambling up the
highways into the United States.
Without exception, the Orientals
greeted officers with wide smiles.
Officers suspect the Orientals of
commercial motives, After making
a Chinese fortune in Mexico, claim
the immigration men, the Chinese
slip across the border, manage to
get themselves into the way of an
officer, and patiently await deport-
ation to China, where their fortune
has already been sent.

STORM LOOMS

Presidents Program Run.

Troubles, 1t Appears.

WASHINGTON, May 13-Presi-

program of economy and retrench-
ment in the governments various
executive departments may run into
some practical difficulties, it ap-
peared today. BookkeeperS are
having a time Of it these days try
ing to figure how Uncle Sam can
keep out of the red as much as
possible. Mr.. Hoover has ordered
economy in every direction, calling
upon every department to cut ex-
penses for the next fiscal year, be-
ginning July 1, by 10 per cent, if
possible.
This program, to be worked out in
weekly conferences with department
heads, is said to be part Of his long
cherished ambition to put the gov
eminent "on a business basis" but
in the case of the army at least,
doubt is expressed in some quarters
whether any appreciate economies
will result from the steps already
announced.
The army was first to feel Mr..
Hoover's pincers in a conference at
the Rapidan last weekend. The
interior department will be next and
then the navy, with each federal bu-
reau taking a turn on the carpet
later.
A hint of difficulties ahead was
received by Mr.. Hoover in his deal
ing with the army.
After two days of comforting, an
nouncement was made that twenty
to thirty army posts and forts will
be abandoned. No definite estimate
of the saving to be gained can be
made either by the war department
or the White House, but it will be
much less than the President hoped
to get-not more than a few mil
lions a year where billions are in
volved.

CHICAGO, May 13.-While all

end of gang rule and the return Of
prosperity" police questioned James
L. Quigley in an effort to learn why
gangsterS terrorized a southside
neighborhood by spraying the
Quigley home with machine gun
bullets three times within as many
hours.
Quigley was said by police to be
a beer runner of the Edward
(Spike) ODonnell gang.
He made no report when enemy
gangsterS first rode past his house
Tuesday night and fired round
of shots through his windows.
When the gang returned an hour
later and repeated the attack,
Quigley called police. officers took
him to jail.
While he was there his family
called up to report that the gang
had passed again and again had
sprayed the house with lead.
