bleeding body to the higway, several
miles away, and passing motorist
conveyed him to the hospital. The
officers assailants. as well as the
smuggled Chinese, were apprehended
within "a hours and are now serving
long prison terms. The report OF
the speedy apprehension and subse-
quent conviction and sentence Of these
criminals is gratifying to officers
throughout the service, as such out
come of these acts Of violence works
as an effective deterrent to other
smugglers who contemplate vicious
deeds.
One Of the largest-scale alien SNUG
glers on record vas Joseph McCul-
Tough, ST., a notorious Mexican-border
character He specialized in snug
Cling Chinese and East Indians or
Hindus, since these races pay rates
higher than any others for such illegal
services.
IT TOOK almost a year to nab Nc
Cullough. for his procedure was ex-
ceedingly clever. First he built
house-car on the chassis of a truck.
This was similar to those used by
many California tourists. except that
there was a built-in, concealed COM
partment in which six aliens could be
secreted. Several successful trips were
made from the Mexican border to
points near San Francisco. where Chi
nese and Hindu aliens were delivered.
A confederate Of McCulloughs named
Jack Wright, posed as the husband Of
Mrs. Phillips" and she carried with
her a little 3-year-old daughter, so
that the couple and child bore the
characteristic appearance Of the usual
tourists; all the paraphernalia Of such
tourists being in evidence to any one
who might either causually observe or
closely inspect the house-car.
1t was McCullough's practice to drive
few miles ahead of the contraband
load of aliens, so that he might double
back on the same road or another side
road, so as to warn Wright in case
migration officers were encountered.
On these trips from the international

line. varying routes Of travel were fol-
lowed, SO that the minimum Of atten-
ton might be drawn to this particular
outfit. Nevertheless, Border Patrol
Inspector Irwin Curtis became very
suspicious Of the house-car, and
through his chief warned all officers
to be on the lookout for the vehicle.
When finally the smugglers were en-
countered en- route from the interna-
tional line, 1t was only by careful
measurement OF the house-car that
the concealed compartment, contain
ing six contraband Hindus, was lo-
Gated. Eventually all persons connect
ed with the smuggling case were ar
rested and jailed.
Acting on code message received
from Havana one day in January, 1884,
to the effect that aliens were being
solicited on the streets in Havana to
take passage on the British steamship
in violation Of the immigration laws,
border patrol officers at Jacksonville
arranged with Coast Guard officers at
Fernandina, Fla, to take them aboard
patrol boat for the purpose Of con-
tacting the Belize upon its arrival of
the jetties at Jacksonville. within the
3-mile limit.
THE vessel was contacted and the
officers boarded 1t and immediate
ly began a search, which lasted five
hours. The officers were just about to
admit failure when one of them
brushed against a wall 1t yielded
considerably and a batch Of newly
placed putty was located there. With
the aid of a crowbar the officers opened
the wall and found seven aliens in a
secret compartment This room was
about feet wide and feet long,
and the aliens had been placed there
when approaching the coast line of the
st. Johns River. They were standing
from noon till pm. in this tiny COM
partment, which was sealed until it
was almost alright. The captain was
charged with conspiracy to violate the
immigration laws. The vessel was
seized and sold at auction.

MINISTERIAL GROUP ELECTS

At a meeting of pastors Of
churches of PaSco, KenneWick and

ization was effected. The name
will be The Franklin-Benton Minis
terial Association, and will include
Pasco, Kennewick, Connell, Rich
land, Finley, White Bluffs and any
other of the towns of the two coun-
ties where it is possible for the men
to attend. The meeting was held
at the Pasco Congregational church
and began with potluck dinner
with the wives and some OF the
children in attendance. After din
ner the business session was held
by the pastors present. An election
resulted in the following officers be-
ing selected:
President, E. c. Beutler of the
Kennewick Baptit church; vice
president, T. E. Martin of the Con-
nell Nazarene church; secretary
treasurer, H. E. BaShOr of the PaSco
Methodist church.
The next meeting will be March
at the Connell Nazarene church.
Among the matters discussed was
one which should be Of interest to
the public, that of Sunday funerals.
While some debate was had regard
ing this it was agreed that the min
isterial group would advise against
and consistently discourage the
holding of funerals on Sundays. The
association recognizes, however, that
circumstances, such as death from
highly contagious disease or ne
cessary shipment for burial, may
alter some cases and at such times
it becomes necessary to conduct a
Sunday funeral. The ministers pre-
sent spoke very highly OF the COOP
Grafton already manifested by the
funeral directors Of this district and
of an increasing portion Of the pub
lie in such matters.
