SMUGGLERS THROW COOLIES INTO
SEA WHEN CAPTURE SEEMS CERTAIN
Gorernment Immigration Officials Discover Mardtrons Methods Employed by Men Who Bring Chinese Into the
United States Trom Mexico Vigorous Efforts Made to Brine; Criminals to Justice.
LOS A.WELFA Feb. S. (Spectal.)
Judging from conversation with
Govern mrnt Inspectors tha otjinl
saltan wl.lcn -exists primarily- for the
smua-gUna; of Chinese coolies Irto the
lnltd States and secondarily for the
illegal Introduction of o.-Uum Into thla
rountry baa foun.i It niu h more profit -bl
and safer to land them In this vl
. Inlty than to mills tha Northern en
trance by way of Canada.
A few month ago It w announced
here that the backbone of tho organisa
tion was broken aa far as the Loa Ange
les district 1 ronr,rnMl. It now ap
pears that tha smugglers' were kern
enough to throw the Inspectors off the
track bT a Changs fn methods of opera
tion. Though shifting from land to sea.
they have not reaped to Introduce the
contraband Chinese and opium into this
district.

The smuggling syndicate owns and op

Knsenada and 1-ower California, and bar
grown so hold that this week ttie Gov

Mnk the boat on the first provocation.
The rerenuo .-ottra Immediately st-t out
to ;rt the irouln' swift boats and
boarded them several times, although
they noticed that the power boats made
apparently no effort to escape. Then fol
lowed an Insstlgatlnn which developed
the fact that the coolies are In Imminent
danger of death under the best ,of ctr-rumstances-
When the revenue cutters
overhauled the power boats they failed
to find any Indication of tla recent pree
i nee of contraband coolte. And It was
learned that the smugglers had riven

to throw the coolies overboard If there

Six Are Cast Adrift.
That the crews of the power boats are
rarrylng out tliic orderj became evl
nent a few days ago. when six Chinese
coolie were cast adrift in a small yawl
without oars bv the ere of one of the
power boat. The power schooner was
being chased by the revenue cutter

service, and when hard pressed the crew
huddled the Orientals Into a small boat
and ca"t them loose. The yawl was
promptly swamped, according to In
spector Frank Alnsworth, the coolie
were drowned and the swift schooner,

This Strang fact, when pos!t4ve n
formatlon hal been received from Mexi
can scents that the schooner had left
port with a cargo of contraband aboard,
first aroused the suspicion of the imml
rratlon officer that the organisation
made away with It .charge either by
casting the Chinese adr(t in a small
yawl or by throwln- them overboard. A
chain of clrrumatancee which, although
unverified until the drowtnc of h six
coolie south of Pan Pedro recently, has
for the laat few months led the official
to believe thst fo-l play waa practiced.

Cotter Not Adequate.
It is now expected by officers of the
local Immigration district that tbe Gov
ernment will take still more drastic
step to crush the Mexican organisa
tion. To do this more and swifter reve
nue cutter ar necessary. The craft
of the smuggler have demonstrated In
more than one exciting chare that the
revenue, cutters now In service her
ar entirely Inadequate to rope with
the situation. The smugglers' schoon
ers are, the most modern obtainable
snd equipped with high-power engines.
They are small but stoutly built and
are painted a dark gray. On these
schooner the contraband Chinese are
loaded openly at Knsenada and no se
cret is made of their destination. The
report Is promptly made by the Immi
gration agents stationed at Knsenada.
but even with this Information the
Government ha been unable to appre

The queerest cult ever launched in
this city of colt and creed and mysti
cism waa disclosed early this week
when the Aquarian Commonwealth, In
corporated, was launched. Los Angeles
has everything from the Masdaalans
to the Bahaltea and anyone with a nov
elty In the line- of religion can get a
prompt and large following by an
nouncing himself; but the Aquarian
Commonwealth. Incorporated, holds the
palm at the present writing.

Levi Dowllng Is tbe prime mover, or
ganizer and originator aa far aa Is
known) of the Aquarians. He dubs
himself the "Aquarian Hierophant." and
his following numbered an even thou
sand when the cult was launched pub.

Atuarlan college of teachera and heal

This robe signifies that the wearer
has on the wedding garment of purity
and Is prepared for the feast which the
king has spread. There Isn't any king,
of course. There is only Ievl. the
hleropbar.t. with bis biasing eye and
hi great, bushy head, but in the ab
sence of a king Levi does very well
for the central figure at the metaphorl
cal banquet board. Everybody enters
the silence which wsshes the brain
clean and makes the heart very still
to hear the things that follow. Two
candles burn, one on either side of the
altar, which is an empty box. and Levi
pokes his head Into thla box and reads
the devoteea of truth occurrences from
the Akashlc records which possibly
happened 30.000 years ago, but which
probably did not. Levi reaches back
Into the remoteness of time, sees i

skirts of the ether, with a scholar's

Lrvl Silent About Self.
Of course, the revelations of Levi ari
not restricted to blue and white stars.
This sentence- Is employed solely by way
of Illustration. Levi will tell no man
anything concerning his order or his
initiation into that order, nor does he
aay that Vntcrlng the Inner circle will
earn for any man his Initiation Into a
higher order. He dor aay that Ms
classes prepare the rpSvlce to enter the
great way. to find the true key and to
approach the Inevitable door. 80 far cs
his own Initiation Is concerned. he says
that vii brought about by himself and
I not a subject to be discussed with
mortal man. since It came through no
man. Hi philosophy, his school and
his commonwealth are based upon the
rosmologtcal theory of a universal as
tmlogy which treats with this period of
the present grand cycle as the Aquarian
age. The theory Is briefly that the days
of Adam were In the are of Taurus, the
bull; the dsya of Abraham were In the
age of Aries, the ram: thst Jesus be
longed o tne sign or risers, the nan
and that today the sun and hi family
are passing from the sign of the rtah
Into the lgn of the water bearer which
Is called Aquarius and which Is pre
eminently a sign of the spirit. They say
that this new age Is peculiarly favored
and that they are themselves peculiarly
adapted to the pouring of spiritual wa
ter upon the head of the people.
Colony rin Falls.
- Levi came to I os Angeles nine years
ago with the Idea of establishing his
brotherhood In a colony. The plan did
not prove to be practicable and the land
purchased for this enterprise was re
leased. Ievl then published a book
railed "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesu.
the Christ." A preface by the publish
er claimed for thl book such truth
as may He In what they described as
"the Imperishable records that are writ
ten of all men. and their wnrtjs are
deeds upon Indestructible films of ether."
There are those who say that all of the
strange, rich romance and imagery of
thla book may be found In two or three
Sanskrit manuscripts extant In the old
world. Levi admits a knowledge of the
existence of manuscripts covering a part
of his Aquarian gospel, but denies ob
taining any portion of his work from
such a source. Concerning the real
source of the book he will not speak. He
had to work ten years preparing hlms?lf
for the task of writing It and concern
ing It he auy:
"Let the hook speak for Itself. I did
not write It as a person. My name
doe not appear in It. . It Is offered aa
a record transcribed by Levi. That Is
all I have ever aalsl about It. It is be
ing read all over the world and aa a
result I have pupils by the hundreds
from all countries who write for our
lessons."

their Loa Angeles s'sters by capturing
the heart of Count August Shaffelysky
de Mukkadel de Castellane Seymour, of
Denmark, who has boldly shied his
castor Into the matrimonial ring and
asks for a helpmeet. He Is a perfectly
mild, house-broken Count and the wo
msn he selects to be his bride will be
a real bona fide Countess. He does not
prescribe that she be beautiful or at
tractive. He does not say that she
must be young, a widow or a spinster.
He cares not whether she be fat or
thin, short or tall, blonde or brunette.
He Is equally Indifferent as to whether
she be Amerlcsn or Hottentot. But
she must have money. That 1 the sole
requirement. .
For be It known. Count August Shaf
felysky de Mukkadel de Castellane
Seymour of Denmark Is down on his
luck. He bas actually had to work or
late to get food to keep hi title and
himself together. And he does not like
to work. He went to Riverside a while
ago. after having tolled long enough to
get car fare to that city, and from
there has sent forth broadcast a sort
of wsll for attention, which has been
addressed to a number of women of
Southern California.

Long Franchise Voled In.
Sehon and Woods wanted to make some
changes In the franchise ordinances, that
the city could exact from Spreckels 2
per cent of the gross earnings on his
street railways. Spreckels, who la rep
resented in San Diego by William Clay
ton, naturally did not want the Council
to mix up, legislatively. In his affairs.
Hence a feeling of Indignation waa pro
moted among the business men on be
half of the Spreckels trolley system. The
Chamber of Commerce invoked th Ini
tiative and referendum on new charter
amendments and these were voted on
last week. The jfrincipal of these gave
the Council authority to grant an ele
trie street railway franchise for as long
as 50 years. The opposition had an al
ternative proposition of a Sa-year .fran
chise and municipal ownership as a pos
sible consummation.
No unusual symptom developed In the
campaign until Mr. Fels, In a letter pub
liahed In the Serlpps sheet, offered to
take over all the Sprockels cariines at
their physical or actual value. Then It
was discovered by the people of San
Dlcjro that Mr. Fels was a soaa manu
facturer and a single tax advocate and
had not a penny' interest in San Diego.
HI Socialistic Idea did not find much
favor, but he busied himself about the
election as much as any son of Ban Diego
could.
Mr. Clayton exposed Fels and his plea
thorouRhly when he offered to take over
a property that had been n existence
for years and had built up a big and pay
ing business at Its physical valuation,
paying nothing for good will or renewal
of machinery. The people saw the point.
At 8 o'clock the night of election a brass
band appeared In the offing, preclded by
a boy bearing a banner, said boy having,
in rhe cause of the franchise triumph,
boen given a black eye. This was said
to have been Inflicted by a Socialist. The
banner 'bore the Inscription, "No soap
buhbles for San Dleso."
The boy, the banner and the band and
several hundred of the proletariat, sprink
led with leading citizens, moved Into the
lobby of Vhe Grant Hotel, where . Mr.
Fels was a guest, They choked up the
lobby snd called for Mr. Fels to show
himself, but the maker of soap and ad
vocate of the single tax was comfortable
In his room, smoking a cigar and smiling.
In the little park in front of the. hotel
there fs a beautiful fountain which
throws up water of red and green and
purple and other colors. Some one sug
gested that they give Mr. Fels a bath In
the fountain and rub-down witb a cake
of his own soap. This heightened the'
desire to have Mr. Fels come down and
tommlngle, but he did rot, so Mr. Col
lier got up on a chair and shouted: "I
am requested to announce that tbe next
train leave Ban Diego at 8:15 in the
morning and that it would be highly de
sirable for Mr. Fels and certain Los
Angeles partle to take this train."
Yuma Chieftain Dying.
Joe Yumn, descendant of a long line
of Yuma Indian chieftains and at on
time the fleetest runner and greatest
wrestler of his tribe. Is slowly dying
of tuberculosis at the County Jail. The
disease was aggravated by more than
nine months' Imprisonment while await
ing trial In the United States District
Court on a charge of entering the dor
mitory of an Indian girls' school at
Yumn. - Joe, a big-framed fellow with
massive shoulders, was convicted with
two of his companions, Stewart and Ho
mer 8haw. last October and is serving
a year's sentence which began in Oc
tober. The Indians objected to their
sweethearts leaving the tribe and going
to -school. A clandestine meeting was
planned.
In the moonlight, on ladders made of
lariats, they climbed to the windows of
a dormitory where they supposed their
sweethearts were, but fate directed them
to the wrong windows and a huo and cry
was raised. Yuma and his companions
leaped from the second story of the
building but were captured before they
could escape from the grounds. Tne girls
with whom they planned the meeting
were punished, and Yuma and the b..aws

year and a hair ago to await trial
