Wlerd Search Unravels Like Fic
tion ; Wholesale Plot Is
Uncovered
HONOLULU, Nov. 25. (By As
sociated Press.) Working on in
formation received from special
agents In the Orient, a party of
six immigration officers under A.
E. Burnett, district director,
searched the Dollar liner. Presi
dent .Lincoln as. she docked here
today and discovered eleven young
Chinese hiding in as many coffins
which were stowed away in a hold
of the vessel. " Vv
The Chinese were 'discovered
after the officers had searched the
liner for two hours and were about
to abandon their efforts. The tip
Burnett received saH that 15 Chi
nese had been dispatched by a
smuggling ring In the Orient to
San Francisco, probably, on the
President Lincoln and in charge- of
a Chinese member of the crew.
Like a wild improbable piece of
fiction, the wholesale plot to
smuggle Chinese Into San Francis
co was revealed bit by bit as Bur
nett and his officers boarded the
Lincoln. The first search was
without success.
Director Burnett then inspected
the Chinese steward's compart
ment in which he found a cigar
box. containing letters, papers and
pictures of ten Chinese supposedly
aboard.
Translations of the letters
showed that the men whose pic
tures and papers were enclosed
were consigned to certain in
dividuals in San Francisco and
that the sum of $1100 was to be
paid to Tong Nam upon the safe
delivery ashore of each Chinese.
Tong Nam was arrested but re
fused to speak ' under dogged
questioning so the immigration
officials again ransacked the ves
sel once more without success.
. It was not until an officer
climbed through tons of ship's
gear and accidentally knocked oft
the top of one of the coffins that
the plot was discovered. In the
coffin a Chinese youth was
comn a vnmese jaum naTe taKen the question of smok
stretched ouWwitb baggage and Jn . ln - and fiavr only

The officers then unearthed
eleven coffins and each was found
to contain a live Chinese with
baggage. All were taken into
custody, together with Tong Nam
and several other members of the
crew who are suspected of being
accomplices.
Director Burnett said that the
President Lincoln will be fined
$1,000 for each rbootleg" Chinese.
He said that' It was ridiculous to
believe that only Steward Nam en
gineered the smuggling, as the
men in the coffins should be fed
dally and the ship had undergone
a thorough search before clearing
from the Orient. He blamed
"Higher ups" aboard the ship.
The papers gave the names of
certain San Franciscans to whom
the Chinese were "consigned,
Burnett said.

"It is Just not being done at

his second effort of the week to
constitute a cabinet to succeed the
Painleve ministry which resigned
Saturday. 4
Former Premier Herriot's fail
ure to form a cabinet after being
summoned by President Doumer
gue this afternoon brought the
crisis back to the pont where t
was at the beginning of the week.
The president for the purpose of
seeking a fourth cabinet maker,
conferred again with the parlia
mentary leaders and then appealed
to M. Briand to step into the
breach again.
M. Briand, who was' minister of
foreign affairs in the Painleve cab
inet found the situation quite dif
ferent than when he tried to make
up a ministerial combination early
in the week. The socialists in the
meantime had by their maneuvers
forced President Douruergue.t to
call on M. Herriot, and It was re
covered they had made it Impos
sible for M. Herriot t& succeed" in
forming a government.
The experiments' remaining to
be tried were a socialist cabinet

TAX SCHEDULE FAVORED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. (By

schedule of surtax income rates in
the tax reduction bill framed by
the house ways and means com
mittee was . described today by
Chairman Green as "the best bal
anced and most evenly graded
schedule that has so far been
drawn."

to graded that persons with small
and larger incomes will receive
most of the benefit to the exclus

$25,000 and $70,000.
Answering ths contention, Mr.
Green today pointed out that tha
surtax rates had to be graded from
one to 20 per cent, the maximum
igreed to by the committee.
This resulted In those in the
upped brackets getting a greater
reduction In dollars than those In
the lower brackets," he paid, "but
this was because they had not ha i
so much larger incomes. It Is also
true that those having incomes
above $1,000,000 got nearly E0
