TIIE MORNING OREGONIAX. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1903. E1L AMONG MMIGHATiuN MEN Four Officials Decapitated at San Diego at One Swoop. TOO MANY CHINESE ENTER Inquiry Into Conditions on Mexican Border Results in Summary Ke nroral Victims May Ap peal to Congress. PAN PIEOO. Cal.. Sept. JO. Spe cial.) The biggest upheaval that has ever occurred In a Federal office In Fan Diego occurred this morning:, when Inspeotor-ln-Charge- Emll En relcke. of the United States Immigra tion Bureau. Inspector Barney Manning- and John Canfleld and Interpre ter H. Embert Lee received telegrams from Washington Informing- them thai ther had been discharged for Incom petency. The receipt of the telegrams tame like a bomb from a clear sky. as It was not anticipated by any of those affected that any drastic action of any kind was contemplated by the officials In Washington. , ... Several months ago Prefessor JenKS and Mr. Nell, members of the commis sion authorised by Congress to Inves tigate Immigration conditions In the Vnited States, visited San Diego and held several sessions In this city. At the time of their visit it was reported that the smuggling of Chinese across the border was being considered, but It is evident that they found nothing on which to- base charges, as none were preferred. All of the men af fected are experienced and the charge or excuse of Incompetency is laughed at by all who know them. KngeU-ke 1-Yom Portland. Mr. EngeL-ke has been in charge of the Ban Ulego office for five years. Previous to that time he served In San Francisco and Portland. Under his direction more arrests have been made In this district than In any similar stretch of border In the country. Mr. Manning and Mr. Canfleld have been In the service for six years. They know the country at the line and above and below It thoroughly, so that the Idea of incompetency is out of the Question. Mr. Lee came about a year and a half ago. after passing the civil service ex amination at Portland. No Chance- or Defense. Tonight Mr. Engelcke turned the of fice over to Inspector Darling-, the only official whose head remained on his shoulders. After he had left the office he declared that the dismissal was a surprise to hlra. though he knew that the commission appointed by Congress to look Into immigration matters was Inimical to him. because he reported that some of the employes were hand and glove with Chinese smugglers some time ago. -The charge." he remarked. Is In competency and that leaves us no de fense. M It has been ruled that the head af the department may discharge for Incompetency, giving us no chance for ilef;i.c." May Try for Investigation.' It Is possible that some effort may he made through Congress to froce an Investigation of the dismissal, as none of the dlM-harged men are without friends. While the charge of Incom petency is laughed at here, there have been many allegations of crookedness In that It has been sieged that hun dreds of Chinese and Japanese have been permitted to cross the line or find a landing from lower California without being caught and with the upposltlon that some one has been paid to for the fact that they were not caught. Mr. Engelcko expects to leave soon for San r'rancisco to consult with his Immediate superior. Inspector North, as to what shall be done. Mr. North. It Is said knew nothing of the decap itation of the San Dlegoans and there 1s a local rumor that he is also slated to leave the service suddenly. Inspector Kngeli-ke's connection with the local immigration force lasted only a month. During that time he served und-r J. It. Barbour. Mr. Engelcke was a practising attorney In San Fran cisco and entered the Immigrant serv ice In Portland in 1903. After serving a month he was transferred to South ern California and was later placed in charge of the office at San Diego. FORESTS STILL BURNING fountain Kast or Mission Ridge. W rapped in Smoke.

PRESIDENT IS DENOUNCED Ilryan Accuses Him or Degrading Office by Joining In Campaign. MUSCATINE. la.. Sept. 30. W. J. Krvan today aot a great ovation here. as the train bearing him from Rock Island rulled Into the outskirts of the city. He wae greeted by the tooting of whistles, the wav'lng of hands from windows, and a salute fired by the Muscatine battery, composed of veter an, of the Civil War. At the station people swarmed around his car and loudly cheered him. Once again he de nounced the President for participating In the campaign and. If anything. In even stronger terms than nerore. There Is another issue of this cam paign." he said, "and that is whether I am running against one- or T started out to run against Mr. Taft on the ground that they had picked a man big enough and able enough to oe ft-pd fcimself; now I find the President comes in and takes the lead in this ngni. x qob i oujeui i , lieve It is a degradation of the office of the Presidency to make that offlce. which belongs to all the people, a party asset in the hands of one party. I In sist that the American people have a right to elect their officials without dictation from Washington, and I ask the President after he has nominated Mr. Taft to stand aside and let as fight it out before the American people on our platforms.'

C, 6ept. 30. Thomas B, Hamer, Republican nominee for Congress In Ida ho, today resigned his position as regis ter of the Blackfoot Land Office, in ac cordance with a hint given him from Washington.

His resignation has been accepted. Mr. Hamer was appointed to the Black foot aLnd Office last Winter on the Joint recommendation of the Idaho delegation.
