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

SAN J0V?a Cal.. Bcpt. SO Although
tlie Valley is completely filled with
smoke todav. no definite details can be
learned of the forest fire that yesterday
was raging east of Mission Ridge and
between the Calaveras and Sunol Creeks.
It Is evident, however, that the fire Is

as the density of the smoke completely
hides the mountain range from view. Ow

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

on the ground that they had picked a
man big enough and able enough to oe

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

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. Mr. Hamer was told that it
is not the policy of the Administration to
permit men who are candidates ior elec
tive office, state or Federal, to continue
holding Government position while engag
ing In the campaign. 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.
At that time he was talked of as a pos
sible candidate for the Congressional
nomination, and It was on the distinct
understanding that he would not oppose
Representative French In convention that
Mr. Hamer was appointed to the Land
Office. He evidently forgot the condi
tions under which he was appointed, out,
hnvinar been nominated in place of Mr.
French, he is now obliged to sever himself
from the Government payroll,
ills successor has not yet been chosen.
but under the new policy of the depart
ment must be an attorney. Hereaner an

fices must be lawyers, and all receivers
must be accountants.

PENNY POSTAGE IN FORCE
Keduced letter Kate Between United
States and Great Britain.
XEW YORK. Sept. SO. The new re
duced postal rate between this country
and Great Britain will go into effect
this midnight. Many persons in Xew
Tork and particularly many business
houses have been holding back mail to
get the benefit of the new rate and
some of this tidal wave of mail will come
just after midnight to catch two boats
that leave tomorrow.
The new letter rate between the coun
tries has beeft cut down from five 3
two cents, provided that they do no
weigh more than one ounce. In Great
Britain the rate will be cut to one pen
ny, the equivalent of the United States
two cents.
The postoffice authorities are looking
forward to some misunderstandings of
the new rules. The reduction In rates
has been made only on letters. The
Federal authorities fear that some win
assume the rate has been cut on post
cards, newspapers, parcels and the like
and will send in a lot of stuff that will
have to be held ror lacK or postage.
