It is believed the ousted officials are ao-

the alleged gigantic "smuggling plot that

Washington. Sent. 80. An order was
Issued today oy tne immigration oureau
of the department or commerce ana ia
bor dividing tne jurisdiction or tne wan
Ini-nla. tmmlarration district into two dls
trlcts. The order is understood to be
the result of a report made to secretary
Straus of the department of com
merce and labor by Professor Jenka of
Cornell and Professor sanrord or Stan
ford university. In which wholesale
smuggling Is alleged to have been das
coverea.
The officials of the Immigration bu
ruin refuse to discuss the order, and it
Is not known whether the report of the
nrofessors makes cnarares oi collusion
or neglect against the immigration offi
cials or soutnern caiirorma.
It Is stated that the change has been
made In the hope that the smuggling of
large numbers or uninese across tne
Mexican border Into the United States
will be stopped.
The order directs Commissioner H. H.
North, who has been In charge of the
California district, to remain In charge
of the northern California, distrlot with"
headquarters at San Francisco, and this
Is taken to mean that Commissioner
North has been exonerated of blame.
His work will Include the new station
on Angel Island.
The new district Is to Include the
border country of southern California as
far as Yuma, Aria., with Headquarters
at San Diego under Commissioner Wad-
