EXPOSES A PECULIAR FRAUD |, 2 e e wpostors Take the Place of €x Ohinamen O-dered Deported IS MADE { DISCOVERY BY ACCIDENT Praotice is Probably the Work of a Clique ts San Francises and May Be of Extensive Proportion SAN FRANCIECO, Sept. 12—A bold at- | wmpt hae just been discovered to defraud the government by shipping back to China, on the steamer Gaelic, six impostors in place of six Chinese who were ordered deported by United States District Judge Delaven. One arrest hae been made in and others will follow shortly. More sen- sational developments are expected, as it in belleved that the government has stam- bled onto the work of a ring. Tt is the contention of the govemament officials that the six genuine Chinese were in the county jail ¥ erday morning and that they were removed from there at 1 o'clock by a deputy United States marshal snd taken in a hack to the Pacific Mafl Gock. From thére they were placed safely on board the steamer Gaelic Five hours later the men could not be found, but in their stead were impostors in no way resembling them in appearance. At A late hour last night the officials were in the dark, so far as having any knowl- edge &% to how this lightning change Act came about START SALOON HOLDUP GAME Henry J. Oest the case Two of His Cuse to Contribute. About 11 o'clock last night a lone robber heid up the saloon of Henry J. Oest at 3502 r:mn avenue and secured 3 i cash, & volver and a watch and chaln. Mr. Qest and another man were sitting at a tuble in the saloon talking. A man en- tered the front door and waiked toward them. When he got within a few feet of | them he drew a reyolver, covered the two | men with it and commanded them to stand | up against the south wall of the room.| They complied with the command and the | holdup proceeded to walk behind the bar | &nd open the cash drawer. While he was ! in the act of abstracting the contente an- | other man with a tin pall in his haud | walked into the saloon through the | rear door. The robber, who all the time | had kept the first two men covered with | the gun, ordered the new arrival to take his place With the others against the wall, | and he quickly responded to the summons. After the contents of the cash drawer had | been transferred to the pockets of the thief | he walked out from behind the bar and or- dered the men lined up to throw up their | hands. He then proceeded to take the watch from Mr. Oest and what cash one of the other men possessed. One of the men got off without losing wnything. Neither the man who was in_the xloon ori the one who came in with the pafl were | known to Mr. Oest by name, although he | says their faces are familiar to him. He | esked them to leave their names before they @eparted but both refused to do #o, | £iving as an excuse that they aid not desire | publicity in connection with the afteir. It is not thought that either of them were | conneeted with the robbery. After the-thief had secured the plunder | be backed out of the saloon by the fromt | VOr and” Was seen 19 more. None of the |, men had presence of mind enough to see ‘which way he went. Mr. Oest calied up the | station a few minutes after the robbery and nottfied the police. Special offiver Baldwin and Sergeant Dempsey went to (hs | woene of the robbery, but nothing was | Jearned which would uid in the capture of the thief. Mr. Oest had prescnce of mind enough to look, the robber over carefully, and was able to give a g0od descripiion of | the man who ald the work. He says he | can posftively identify him if he is cap- tured. The thief wore no mask.
