ORDERS GIVEN OFFICIALS Complaint That Merchants and Trav elers "Were Rudely Treated by Immigration Officials Has Brought Prompt Action. WASHINGTON", June VS. By direction of President Roosevelt action haa been taken by the Administration which not only facilitates the landing in this coun try of Chinese of the exempt class, but will also eliminate from the Immigra tion Bureau such administrative features as have been the subject of criticism by Chinese. It is the declared intention of the President to e that Chinese mer chants, travelers, students, and others of the exempt classes shall have the same courtesy shown them by officers of the Immigration Bureau as 1b accorded to citizens of the most favored nations. Representations have been made to the President that In view of alleged harsh treatment accorded to many Chinese seeking a landing in the United States, the commercial guilds of China have de termined to institute a boycott on Ameri can manufacturers. The representations, backed by the authority of the American Asiatic Society and commercial bodies throughout the country. Induced the Prertdent to make an investigation of the situation with a view to remedying the evils complained of, if they were found to exist. The subject was dis cussed thoroughly with Secretary Metcalf, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, who has supervision of the Immi gration Bureau. As the result of the inquiry orders have been issued to the diplomatic and consular representatives of the United States In China by the President him self that they must look closely to the performance of their duties under the ex clusion law and see to it that members cf the exempt classes coming to this country are provided with proper certi ficates. These certificates will be ac cepted at any port of the United States and will guarantee the bearer against any harsh or discourteous treatment. Such treatment, indeed, will be the cause of the Instant dismissal of the offending of ficial whoever he may be. Instructions to Immigration Officers In addition to the President's orders Secretary Metcalf has issued instructions to the immigration officers which it Is believed will remedy the difficulty hereto fore complained of by the Chinese gov ernment and individuals. It is anticipated that the prompt action taken by the Government to meet the objections by the Chinese will eliminate the possibility of gerlcus trade differences between China and the manufacturers of this country- The text of the official correspondence and orders on the subject was made pub lic today by authority of President Roose velt The President's orders to the di plomatic and consular officers of this country In China wore transmitted through the Stato Department and are as follows: The "White House. "Washington. D. C, June 24. 1905. To the Actinp Secretary of State: The State Department will Immediately lsue & circular to alt our diplomatic, and consular representatives In China. melting forth the following facts and elating that It la Issued by direct order of the President; Chlneee Laborers Are Barred. Vnder the laws of the United States and Jn accordance with the. rplrit of the treaties negotiated between the United States ami China, all Chinese of the cooHe or laboring c'. aw that Is, all Chinese laborers, skilled or unskilled are absolutely prohibited from com ing to the United States, but the purpose of the Government of the United States is to (show the widest and heartiest eeurtesy toward Jaja!! merchants, teachers, students and trav elers who may come to the United States, aa we'l as toward alt Chinese officials or repre sentatives In any""capaelty of the Chinese government AU Individuals of these classes rfre allowed t- come and go of their own free will and arord. and are to be given all the rights, privileges. Immunities and exempt tens ac corded to el U i ens and, subjects of the Btest favored nations. The President has issued ererlal Instructions through the Secretary "t Commerce and Labor that while laborers must b trictly excluded, the law mutt be enforced without harshness, and that alt un necessary inconvenience and annoyance toward. thoe persons entitled to cater the Vnited State must be scrupulously avoMed. The officials of the Immigration Depart ment have been toW that no harshness In the administration of the law wlH for a moment be tolerated, and that any discourtesy shown to Chines persons by any official of the Gov ernment will be cause for immediate s m If sal from the service. Certificate for Visiting Class. The status of those. Chinese entitled freely to enter the United States is primarily de termined by the certificate provided for under section of the act T Congress, July 5. 1SS1 Under this law the diplomatic and Consular representatives of the United States have, by direction of the President, been In structed before vlilng any certificate strictly t! comply to the reaulrements of that pert Ion of esetlon 6, which provides as follows: And such diplomatic representatives or Consular representatives whose indorsement Js so required is hereby empowered, and. K shall be hi duty, before indorsing each cer tiorates as aforrjt&ld, to examine into the tmth of the statements set forth in said cer tificate, and It he shall find upon examin ation that said or any of the statements there in contained, are untrue. It ehall be his duty to refuse to Indorse the same. The certificate thus vised becomes prima fade evidence of the facts set forth there in. The immigration officials have now been specifically instructed to accept these cert tri es ten, which are not to be upset unless good reason can be shown for doing to. Unfor tunately, in the past it has been found that officials of the Chines government haw recklessly Issued thousands of such certifi cates which were not true; and recklessness has also been shown In the past by repre sentatives of the American Consular service n vising these certificate. 4 The purpose of this Government,!! to4taVc thess vised certificates of eneh real value that It is eafe to accept thea "here in the United States. This will result in doing away with most of the causes of complaint that have arisen. The Chinese students, merchant or traveler will thereby secure before leaving China certificate which will guarantee bun against any improper treatment. But la order that th plan may be carried out. it Is absolutely necessary that the diplo matic and Consular officers, instead of treat ing their worlc In vising these certificates as perfunctory, shall understand that this Is one of their most Important functions. They meet not sue any each certificate unless they are certain that the person to wheat it is larued is entitled to It, and they will be held to a most rigid accountability Sot the manner In which they perform this duty. If there is reason to believe that any certificate has been Improperly icsued. or Is being improperly used, a thorough Investigation will be made into its issuance. Careful Action of Diplomats. The only way in which possibly, while rally carrying out the provisions of the law against the immigration of Chinese laborers, skilled or unskilled, to secure the fullest courtesy and consideration for all Chinese persons -of the exempt classes, such as oSlelals. travelers, merchants, students and the like, is through the careful and conscientious action of our diplomatic and Consular representatives un der the proposed policy of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Tho change will simplify the -whole admin istration of the law; but It cannot be made permanent unless the diplomatic and Consu lar tepresentatlves do their full duty and see to It that no certificate is Issued with their vise, unless tho person receiving it clearly comes within one of the exempt elaasta and is fully entitled to the privileges the cerUfleate sets forth. Aeeordlngly all our diplomatic and Consular representatives In China are warned to per form this most Important duty with the ut most care. TH DODO RE ItOOSEVELT. New Instructions Issued. These orders are supplemented by a letter to the President from Secretary Metcalf, setting out the provisions of the law under which the Bureau of Immigration operates in regard to Chinese immigrants and by the new In structions Issued to immigration offi cers regarding their treatment of Chi nes who may come to the United States. The President and Mr. Metcalf be lieve, that the instructions will Insure to Chinese the same courteous treat ment that Is accorded to people of other nationalities. Secretary Metcalfs letter to the President and his instruc tions to the imlgration officers follows: "Washington. June 21. 1905. The President: Referring to the matter f the enforcement of the Chineso exclusion lawe. I have the honor to advise you that I have gone thoroughly Into the questions raised, and that I find the situation to be as follows: Divided Into Two Classes. For the purpose of considering the opera tion of the exclusion laws, Chinese subjects coming to the United States may be arbitrarily divided into two classes: First Registered Chinese laborers who are returning to the United States within ene year after departure therefrom. Second Chinese subjects being merchants, teachers, students or travelers for curiosity or pleasure, who aro allowed to enter the United States and to come and go there of their own free will and accorded all the tights, privileges and immunities nad exemp tions which are accorded to the citizens and subjects of the most favored nation, if In powes4en of what, for the sake of conveni ence, is generally known as a section 6 cer tificate, unless they have relfed as ruch In the United Stateand are returning thereto, in which cat they may present other evidence than such certificate of their right to adm!s ad on. Rights Under Section Six. Section 6 of the act of May 6. 1SS2, as amended by the act of July C. 1BS4. now in force and effect, provides In effect that every Chinese perron other than a laborer who may be entitled by treaty or laws to ccme within the United States and who ehall be able to come to the United States, shall ob tain the permission or and be identified aa so entitled by the Chinese government or other such foreign government of which at the time such Chinese person shall be a subject. In each case to bo evidenced by a certificate to be. issued by such government. The law requires that this certificate shall be In the Baglish language and shall show ruch permission, the name f the permitted person In his or her proper signature; that the certificate ehall state the individual, fam ily and tribal name in full, tiile or oillelal rank. If any. the age. height aad all peculiar ities, former and present occupation and pro fession, when and where any and how long pursued, the place of residence of the per son to whom the certificate Is Issued and that such person is entlUed by law to come within the United States. Aa Applied to Merchants. If the person eo applying is a merchant the certificate must etate. In addition to the above requirement!, the nature of, character and estimated value ef the business carried on by him prior to and at the time of his application, as aforesaid. If the certificate be sought for the purpose of travel for curi osity, it must also state whether the appli cant intends to pass through or travel within the United States, together wMh his financial Kandlng In the country for which such cer tificate is desired. The law further provides as follows: "The certificate provided for in this act, and the Identity of the person named therein shall, before such person goes a board any vessel to proceed to the United States, be vteed by the Indorsement of the diplomatic representative of the l'nlted States In the for eign country from which such certificate Is sues, or Consular representatives from the United States at the port or place from which the person named in the certificate Li about to depart and rwb diplomatic representative or Consular repreentatl-e whose Indorsement la so required is hereby empowered and it ehall be his duty, before Indorsing such cer tificate, as aforesaid, to examine Into the truth of the- statements set forth is said certificate, and if he shall find, upon examination, that Mid or asy ef the statements contained there in arn untrue. It shaH be his dwty to refuse to Indorse the same. Certificate Is Solo Evidence. "Seh certificates, vised as aforesaid, shall be prima fade evidence of the facts set forth therein, and shall be produced to the Col lector of Customs of the port In the district In the United States at which the person named therein shall arrive, and afterwards produced to the proper authorities ef the Uni ted States whenever lawfully demanded, and shall be the sole evidence permissible on the part f the perrons so producing the same to establish a right to entry Into the United States, but said certificate may he contro verted and the facts therein stated disproved by the United States authorities." Although neither tho treaty nor the laws make provision in terms for the extension of transit privileges to laborers, ruch privilege are as a. matter of fsct accorded Chinese la borers by regulation ef tho department. That is to say. exercising the general authority conferred by law te enact itgulaUons. the department permits Chinese laborers to pas through the country under suitable restric tions and proper safeguards. No specific regulations have thus far been "deemed necessary In order to extend transit privileges to the second or exempt class, for the reason that they are permitted by law to come and go of their own free will and ac cord when In possession ef the section 6 cer tificates. Abu of the Certificate. As to the harsh and unreasonable treatment which It is said has been aceerded tn embers of the exempt classes, this much may be said: What are known as section. 6 certifi cates, wtre universally accepted, and the tCcnciu&ed on 5cccai PigcJ COSSACKS MURDER A JEWISH FAMILY Overtaken and Shot While on the Way to Baluty Rail way Station. CABMAN ALSO A VICTIM Fighting in. Streets of Iodz Between Soldiers and the Strikers Has"" Ceased Slaughter Still Continues. LODZ. Russian Poland. June 25. The most serious phase of the fighting be tween the military and strikers Is at an end, but there are still Isolated attacks in the suburbs. At Baluty this morning; Costocks attacked a Jewish family of five persons who were driving. In a cab to the railway station, and shot and killed all, including the cabman. At Pabjanlce. near Lodz, workmen at tacked two policemen and shot and killed one and wounded the other. There is a general exodus from Lddx. Two thousand persons have already left, and all trains are crowded. During the disturbance 33 government liquor stores were destroyed by the mobs, which appropriated all the cash and stamps found on the premises. The cash and stamps were added to the funds of the Socialist party. The workmen in all the factories will strike tomorrow. Some prominent citizens this morning telegraphed General Susbtow, command ing the troops here, asking for protection against the brutality of the soldiers and especially the Cossacks who, in one in stance, killed and robbed the servant of a millionaire, named Rosenblatt, who was carrying $5000 to the bank. The General promised to punish the offenders, but said he required witnesses to testify against the Cossacks. WORKMEN URGED TO PROTEST Proclamation at "Warsaw Calls for Paralyzing: of All Industries. WARSAW, June 25. The proclamation Issued yesterday by the Social Democratic party of Poland and Lithuania, calling out workmen as a - protest agalnsc the Lodz massacre, declare that in order to show the solidarity of their brethren and to protest against "the new and Inces sant crimes of the Emperor's govern ment," afl Warsaw must .stop work to morrow. The proclamation orders that not a single factorj" or workshop shall be op erated, and that offices, shops, restau rants and coffee-houses must close and all traffic must cease. It says that the red flag, the flag of tho workingmen must float in tho streets of Warsaw and calls upon all workmen to help their brothers arrange a general strike. The military is patrolling the streets In the factory and Jewish districts tonight. In the suburb of Praga today workmen shot and wounded two policemen. In Ogroodwa street there was an en counter between gendarmes and a crowd and shots were fired on both sides. Three civilians and one gendarme wero wound ed. In other streets processions of work men were, dispersed. CRUSHED BY BRUTAIi SOLDIERS Mob Is Reduced to Submission In Streets Running; With Blood. SPECIAL. CABLE. LODZ. Russian Poland. June 26. Rioting is still in progress here, but the troops are gradually gaining the upper hand of the people aad by sheer weight of numbers and weapons are crushing the resistance against the government- The dead aad wounded are numbered in the thousands; the prisons are filled with victims and all citizens who are able to do so are flee ing from their homes. General Sbibtoff, commanding the troops, who has been on duty constant ly for the last three days, stated at midnight that he now controlled the situation and declared that he believed the trouble was practically over- Even while ho made the statement, the sound of the rifle and the revolver firing could be heard from the suburbs, where the striking workingmen were being shot down by the Cossacks and the In fantrymen who are patrolling the streets. It is impossible at this time to secure accurate details of the last four days. Many of tbe dead wero rushed to the cemeteries in carts and dumped into hurriedly excavated trenches which were immediately filled with earth by troopers specially detailed for that service. No attempt was made to iden tify the dead and no record was kept of the number of the bodies thus buried. Wounded Afraid to Call for Help. Some of the victims of the wrath of the soldiery were claimed by their rela tives and burled, and there are still nearly 100 bodies in a temporary-morgue established by order of General Shib toff. Many of the wounded are ex pected to die, while other wounded are suffering In their homes without medi cal attention, because they are afraid that if they ask for help from the doc tors their relatives will be arrested for complicity In the riot and will suffer. .. The brutality of the troops is almost beyond belief. Those on duty In the city were specially selected for the duty they have performed and have carried out the orders of their officers only too welL Men. women and chll dren haVe been scourged with, whips, riddled with .bullets and. slashed .with. swords. No class has escaped, and among tho victims are Jews and Gen tiles of the highest and lowest classes. In fact, so severe has been the treat ment by the Cossacks that a delegation of leading citizens last night demanded an audience with General Sbibtoff. They told him that human life was un safe under present conditions; that not only cruelty was boundless, but the innocent suffered at the hands of the troops, and threatened that if he did not curb his subordinates they would take action to bring the matter to the attention of the Czar. The General lis tened quietly to the men, but gave tbe men no satisfaction and the attitude Of the soldiers remained tbe same. Strikers Threaten Vengeance. Strikers held a number of meetings at which they threatened dire ven geance for their comrades already slain. Socialistic leaders harangued the workmen and told them they should be willing to sacrifice their lives as a protest to all Russia that they were no' longer slaves and that hey demand ed the right to live as men. This had tbe effect of stirring up desperate feel ing and later on in the day resulted in several clashes with the soldiers In which the strikers suffered severely. The first of these clashes took place in the outlying districts where a mob of about 400 persons attacked a depot. They rushed the guard and after seiz ing the liquor from the depot, set the building on fire. A. detachment of troops arrived on the scene and "their commander ordered the crowd to dis perse. Inflamed with the liquor, they had drank, they jeered at him and threatened to kill him and his men. Charge by Mounted Cossacks. Immediately the order was given to load with ball cartridges and the mob wavered. The commandant at the head of the EOtnia (half a battalion), gave the order to charge. The horses broke into a gallop and the animals plunged into the yelling, howling, cursing throng. Those exposed to tho direct onslaught of the Cossacks broke and squeezed through tbe mass behind them to safe ty, gaining the open street and seek ing safety in flight. But those behind who had not felt the sting of the knouts still pressed forward. Presently, high above the turmoil of the battle, rang out the command to fire, followed by the crackling and crashing of the guns. Right and left tbe rioters fell. But the crush from behind kept on and over the bodies of tbe fallen surged the mob. The troopers then made a general charge, driving the mob before them like a herd of frightened cattle, slash ing with their sabers, knouting them with their loaded whips and now and then shooting into small crowds which seemed unwilling to give way. The might of the army had conquered and within-ten minutes the mob had been dispersed. There were a number of collisions later in the central portion of the city, but the casualties were small. Millionaire's Servant Robbed. Two drunken Cossacks killed and robbed the servant of a millionaire named Rosenblatt, who was carrying a package containing 1000 rubles to his employer. They robbed the body and made off with the money. Shortly afterward a squad of Cos sacks attacked a Jewish family of five who were making their way out of the city in a cab and shot all of them dead. They were all known and the shooting has Inflamed the Jews, who threaten dire vengeance. It is reported tonight that a large number of small bombs and packages of vitriol have been smuggled into the city, and these would be used today against the soldiers. CROWDS ARE NOT PERMITTED Only Fifty People Wero Injured In Warsaw Sunday. SPECIAL CABLE WARSAW. June 53. This city was com paratively quiet throughout Sunday and although several collisions took place be tween rioters and soldiers, no one. so far as Is known, was killed, and less than 50 persons were Injured. The troops and police had strict orders not to permit crowds to congregate and these orders were literally carried out. so that the people were given no chance to rise against the authorities. The temper of the people is better, and threats of aesisslnatlbn of officials are freely made. Word received - from all of tbe cities of Poland indicate that the present trouble is In its Infancy and a general revolutionary uprising is ex pected. Five regiments from tbe St. Petersburg garrison reached here Sunday afternoon and wero Immediately sent to those cities where garrisons were not strong. A proclamation of martial law can be expected here 'not later than Monday night should the disorder increase. XEWS IS KEPT FROM RUSSIA Strict Censorship on Atrocities Com mitted at Lodz. ST. PETERSBURG. June 5. 3:35 A. M.) Beyond the bare announcement that firing was again heard Saturday night in the Jewish quarter at Lodz and that the Jews are leaving the city in great num bers, there is almost nothing known about the situation at Lodz and the de velopment of Saturday and Sunday. Even an accurate estimate of Friday's struggle and the extent of the casualties cannot be obtained here, as practically all telegrams except brief and unsatis factory messages to the papers are held up by the internal censorship. Tbe newspapers are without information and General TrepofTs adjutant told the Associated Press that tbe chancellerie of police had nothing to communicate. Am bassador Meyer is also without news, though American Consuls are under or ders to telegraph immediately happen ings of importance in their districts. Tbe lack of information prevented any manifestation of feeling on the part of the workmen of St. Petersburg, many of whom are in sympathy with Social (Ccacladed. ca Pare. 3.)

Farmer Finds Iead Mine Haw son's Cheap Restaurant Al most Causes Lynching. NEW TORK. June 25. SpedaL) The New York law courts have adjourned for the Summer vacation, leaving on the cal endar the most peculiar collection of freak appeals to Justice that has ever been heard of. Tf Solomon wero a member of the Supreme Court, and sitting here," said one distinguished Jurist the other day. T am convinced he wculd feel called upon to resign. In order to preserve Intact h!s record for superior wis dom." In legal circles Hyman Gordon is acknowledged to have afforded the most unusual of the peculiar court cases. Gordon, who Is a clgarmaker of 199 Forsyth street, has a son, Charles, who attends school right around the corner from Gordon's store. Charles, it Is admitted, is not the star pupil, and all efforts to Induce him to act as do his mates failed most lamentably. Finally Principal William A Kottman sent an emissary to the clgarmaker and took him to the temple of learning during school hours. Mr. Kottman sternly narrated the misdeeds of young Charles, and ordered and demanded that tbe father publicly chastise the lad. air. Gordon was handed a large ruler and. under the hypuotio gaze of Princi pal Kottman. whacked the boy until his walls of sorrow could be heard for blocks, whereupon the father, over come by remorse, threw down the ruler and his shrieks of unhapplness completely drowned the comparatively feeble outcries of the boy. Mr. Gordon was arrested for disor derly conJuct. but4 discharged in tho Police court. row he has commenced suit to recover $2000 damages from the principal, who he contends had no right to Jead him to the schoolroom to apply the rod, and that his feelings have been deeply humiliated. Bullets Damage Cow and Crops. John Stadtel has a farm near the Creedmoor rifle range, which Is on Long Island but within the city limits. Mr. StadteL while recently tilling the soli, unearthed K) pounds of ,lead. This does not mean that a new mine has been discovered in Greater New Tork, but that the shooting of the men who comprise the state's bulwark of defense has been entirely too impres sionistic to comport with accuracy. The farmer claims that it does not help his corn to have tho stalks mowed down by bullets, that cabbages do not grow better through having a heart of lead, and he is also saddened over the unex pected demise of a cow which, innocently and unknowingly, became a moving tar get. In consequence, he has sued the state for 91,300. which he thinks will cover the cow, bis crops and his own feelings. The grand Jury has considered Mr. Stad tel's sorrows, and recommends that the state build a higher steel fence and use more caution on the range. Hawson's Dismal Future. Thomas Hawson, of C West Sixty-sixth street, is in Bellcvpe Hospital. contem plating a most dismal future. If the authorities declare him Insane, he will be conducted to the asylum on Ward's Isl and. If they find him to be sane, he will have to settle about 00 cases of abtainlng moneey under false pretenses. Should be escape each and both of these dooms, and ever appear on the upper West Side, the police are convinced that he win be lynched. Hawson got out handbills advertising a new restaurant at 22S West Sixty-sixth street. He announced that ho would serve for breakfast two loaves of bread and coffee; for lunch, soup, fish or meat; for dinner, meat and vegetables; tickets. JL. good for 123 meals. The restaurant man took 70) tickets, and went out on the street to sell them. They did not sell well at $1. so he reduced the price, and sold them for a nickel. As an additional bonus, he promised that each ptchaser would be given one quart of chowder free at tbe butcher shop of James Simpson. 153 West Sixty-sixth street. Great Demand for Chowder. Tbe unhappy Simpson imagined he was going to do a great business, for his shop was crowded all day. but at nightfall he found that, while he had. broken all rec ords as to number of customers, he had done tbe smallest business, because near ly all Of them wero Hawsonttes who ex pected to get free chowder. It was some thing in which Simpson did not deal, bat be had the time of his life explaining to indignant men and women that his butch er shop was not an annex of the new res taurant. It kept him so busy that he was unable to attend to his regular cus tomers, although only a few of them were able to break through the blockade of the clam-chowder seekers. Hawson was arrested, and It took eight policemen to take him to the- station house. He didn't object, but the patrons" of his restaurant were enraged to think that he was going to be locked up. They wanted to hang bus. George T. Rotter,-of Williamsburg, has consulted a lawyer: as to tiw advUiiUlilfv. of suing Police Sergeant Riley for false arrest. Rofter was ambling peacefully along the streets of Williamsburg, a sec- j tion of Brooklyn, when' a large, husky man slapped him on the shoulder and told him that he was under arrest. "What's the charge?" asked Rotter, who is a mild little storekeeper and regarded as exceptionally well behaved. I am not required to tell you." re sponded the other. "But you are wanted for one murder and two burglaries. Come with me. I am Detective Sergeant King." In a state of utter collapse, the unhappy little tradesman, his eyes full of tears. was led to the Bedford-avenue station. Sergeant Riley was at the desk, and Rot ter ms arraigned before him. His captor took a firm grasp on the shrinking man's coat, and said In a commanding tone: "Sergeant, book this man on all the charges In the criminal code." "Who are your asked Riley. "I am Detective Sergeant King." was the reply. "Tomorrow I will be Police Commissioner, so do your duty without questioning," Riley did. He put the "detective ser1 seant" In a cell, and later he was taken back to the Insane asylum, which he had left a few days before. Rotter, however, refused to be comfort ed, and claimed that if they pollse had properly looked after the district he would never nave been arrested. As Riley is one of the wealthiest men on the force through a meteoric advance in suburban railty holdings Rotter thinks he Is the best man to sue. The claim he makes is that he was un der arrest and in the sergeant's presence for several minutes before that official ordered his discharge, aad consequently Riley is responsible. No. he isn't going to sue King. He is carry for the poor maniac, and. besides, King has no money. OF AMERICAX SHARPERS KEEP LOXDOX DETECTIVES BUSY. Victims in Most Cases, It Is Said, Are Tourists From This Side of the Water. LONDON. June 2SDuring the past week the American Invasion of London has surpassed previous records. Every hotel is crowded, and the principal ones are booked tor in advance. With the Increasing: number of visitors i rem. across tne Atlantic nave come a great number of suspicious persons, who have kept the secret service men busy. An inspector of Scotland Yard said to the Associated Press that he had been com pelled to give many of these American suspects orders to leave, but reports aro received daily of opcrayggs ,cqnftd'iBe uivn nuu s&u pa. The inspector pointed out that previous ly American burglars bad visited London during tho season, but that now there- was an Inundation of confidence mea. Strange to relate, the victims In almost every case are Americans, who-. It weald be supposed, were acquainted with tha operations of sharpers from their own country.
