October 1.— { An early morning fire in the bath room | of Harcid Lloyd’s home yesterday did | considerable damage after the motion picture comedian guided his family to safety with his f7-year-old daughter, Gloria, in his arms.” Lloyd was awak- ened by Gloria’s cries. He seized her and was followed by Peggy, 6-year-old daughter. A nurse carried Harold, jr., to safety, while Mrs. Lloyd, the Yormer Mildred Davis, attempted to extinguish the flames. No one was injured except Ernest King, the Lloyd chauffeur, who suffered minor burns attempting to fight the flames, Ehe loss was undetermined, firemen said. 33 THEATERS CLOSED Kansas City Movie Owne: Operators War Over Jobs.

BY THOMAS R. HENRY ® | The second string to the immigration racketeer's bow is smuggling. This is the simplest and cheapest way for an alien who cannot get on the immigration quota to get into the United States, but 1t is reserved for the poor or for those whos: cases do not fit any of the tricks. There is more or less physiccl risk involved. Once here, the alien has no credentials which will enable him to stay here if he happens | to be disccvered. His hope is to bury himself in the multitude and lead & quiet, obscure life in the hope that he never will attract attention. After he is established here, Assistant | Secretary of Labor Garsson has found, he may remedy this by resorting to one |of the strategems by which sliens can be naturalized. But this costs mcney and requires influential connections. The local political leader may help. after the alien has made his acquaint- ance. Smuggling Has Problems. {no means so simple as one might sup- pose from the long sweep of the coast- line and of the Canadian and Mexican borders. It is across these borders that most aliens are brought. Each affords its own problem. Of course, the United | States doen't maintain an immigration inspectcr &, every point on the line be- | tween the United States and Canada. | There is much forest and farm- land A lone man, familiar with the country might walk across in many places, espe cially if he was willing to undergo a | little hardship. | But this is calculating, Garsson says, without much appreciation of the psychology of the alien. Those smug- gled usually are poor and ignorant men. They know nothing of the lay of the land and cannot remain in Canada long enough to become familiar with it Many of them believe there actually is a fence between the United States and Canada, and that one must pass through a gate to get in this country |They are familiar with the borders of thelr own countries, every foot of which are patroled by armed soldiers. They {are ‘entirely in the hands of their ;(riendfl. the smugglers. Every likely entry from Canada is guarded. Even where the alien crosses through the woods or across a stream he must come in a few miles to & road or a village |where he is almost certain to be picked {up, if he is proceeding entirely on his own resources. A man must eat. He must have some place to go to in the new country. So don't be decelvgd by |the long stretch of Canadian border, Garsson advises. It is almost certain to prove & trap, unless one is aided by the services of an expert. Lot of Methods Employed. |, Canada now prohibits immigration |altogether, but it admits visitors. So| |the smuggler brings the aliens whom | ihe had contracted to get into the | United States to Canada as_visitors. Once they land in the Dominion, they | quietly disappear. When their visitors permits have expired, the Canadian government starts a search for them— in Canada. They are not there. The Dominion authorities have no_authority to pursue their search into the United States. The aliens are rushed over the bor- der in all sorts of ways. The airplane is too conspicuous, but the speed boat and the fast automobile are pressed | into service. It is practically the story | of rum-running over again, except mn‘ allens are a_more bulky commodity. Many are rushed in speed boats across | the Detroit River. Others are hidden | in automobiles and brought across the | | border at break-neck speed. A favorite | vehicle is the moving van. Four or five | aliens can be packed in, ‘without great discomfort, at the bottom of & load of | beds, tables and chairs, The smugglers | trust that the innocent-appearing load | wiil be allowed to pass with only super- ficial examination. Unless there is some ground for suspicion the inspector | is not likely to demand that every bit of furniture be unloaded for his inspec- ‘ tion. Any American citizen, Garsson warns, | | should communicate to the Government | any ridiculously low offer to move his furniture from Canada. Only the other day a New England clergyman told of having his household belongings moved several hundred miles across the Cana- dian border for $50 by a trucking firm hard hit by the depression and needing business, whereas the lowest offer from any other firm was $250. The minister was exultant over his bargain. At least a half dozen aliens must have come in with that load, Garsson is confident. Crossing From Mexico Easier. The Mexican border affords a more difficult problem than the Canadian, | Garsson says, partly because many of the aliens entering in that way are per- | fectly familiar with the lay of the land. | It is easier to get over without detec- tion. Mexico, like Canada, has fairly strict immigration laws, but aliens seep into the country in various ways. From | this direction, for example, come mcst [ of the Chinese. The race is barred from | Mexico altogether, yet they get there, | possibly landing at” obscure points on | the coast. Then they are run into the United States in much the same ways as cthers are run in from Canada. Many are landed directly on the At- lantic coast, just as liquor and dope are landed. In nearly every case, Mr. Gars- son says, the alien smuggler is also a Smuggling, Garsson points out, is by | th MADISON BUST UNVEILED AT ilCBMO HIEF JUSTICE CHARLES E.

By the Assoclated Pres EAST ORANGE, N. J, October 1.— Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of Menlo Park, is slowly failing in health, his physician, Dr. Hubert S. Howa, said today in a bulletin. The complication of four diseases, which brought serlous collapse to the aged inventor several weeks ago, is sap- ping his strength. “Mr. Ediscn seems to have less inter- est in things, and his strength has failed somewhat during the last few | days,” Dr. Howe stated. Because of his weskened condition, Mr. Edison did not take his customary auto ride this afternoon, despite fair weather and warm sunshine, The inventor, however, is not confined to his bed, and spends most of the day moving about the house, occaslonally sitting at his desk. Charles Edison, president of the Edi- son Industries, visited his father today, as is his custom. LEADER IN RUM PLOT HEADS POLICE AGAIN William J.
