UD EXPOSED 15 STUPENDOUS Immigrants Innocent | Victims of Organ- ‘ ized Forgers. On the labels of some boxes of cig- arettes at present being sold to the public is a statement to the effect that the cigarettes are made of the purest tobacco and paper obtalnable, and that, therefore, the smoke from them may be inhaled safely and without irritating the respira- tory passages. We do not hesitate to say that such a statement is highly mischiev- |'ous and that the practice of inhaling Special Dispatch to The Call. smoke into the lungs is attended with — considerable risk to the health of the CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N |smcker. W., WASHINGTON, May 30.—Chief Wil- kie of the United States Secret Service, who has his men at work in New York and other big Eastern cities, says that the extensive forgery of naturalization certificates constitutes one of the most stupendous frauds ever investigated by his department. A brisk business was done in New York, because thousands of | Ttallans on arrival found it was impos- sible to get employment on public works without first becoming citizens of the United States. Agents of one company of ten met im- migrants down the bay, explained to them the situation and sold the papers. In some cases it was found that as high as $100 had been paid in New York. Un- earthing of these frauds required much research on the part of secret service officers, as it was first necessary to es- { tablish that victims had- not resided in this country the required length of time. Many steamship records had to be care- fully searched in order to find when the men arrived. It is sald that another class of papers have been found in New York which may lead to interesting develop- ments and involve others than those al- ready investigated and put under the ban of the law. In most of the New York cases it was found that the aliens were innocent vic- tims. In other cases It was found that the aliens were conscious of an fllegal transaction. No agent of these companies has gone abroad to begin the practice there, so far as known to the Govern- ment, but many of the foreigners receiv- ing forged papers have written to friends at home telling them how easy it is to become naturalized and then get work in New York at good wages. Thus the frauds would have continued to grow had they not been discovered by Chief Wil- kie and his men. —————— Beauty’s Limitations. The delicious thrill of being a “beaufy” too often gives the comfortable satisfac- It is to be feared that the cigarette Is responsible largely for the prevalence of this objectionable habit of inhaling to- bacco smoke; the pipe or e:igar smoker is, as a rule, not addicted to it because prob- ably the smoke s too strong or to irritat- ing. But the fact that the smoke of a cigarette may be unirritating does not minimize the evil effect of drawing the smoke into the lungs, for by this method the absorption of the poisonous constitu- ents of tobacco smoke (and all tobacco smoke is more or less poisonous) is very rapid, these entering quickly into the. circulatory system by way of the pul- monary capillaries. Even in the mouth and nasal passages there is some amount of absorption, but this is trifilng com- pared with that which takes place in the lungs. The practice of inhaling tobacco smoke 1is, therefore, strongly to be dis- countenanced, and venders of cigarettes =hould refrain from printing on the boxes mischievous statements such as that to which we have alluded. There Is no reason for telleving that emoking tobacco in a rational way is pro- ductive of harm; on the contrary, it is the common experience that when moderately indulged in it serves to allay restlessness and irritability, but the sequel to‘the habit of inhalation may indeed be. dire, the heart and nervous system being chiefly affected. Yet many cigarette smckers in- hale the smoke into the lungs, as may be seen from the fact that very little of the smoke which they draw from the cig- arette is afterward ejected.—London Lan- cet. ———— The Standard Ofl Company will erect in the oil district of Indiana 250 derricks, the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company will put down 300 wells and the Consumers’ Gas Trust Company will put down 150, “LOVE'S CONFIDENCES,” BY BRYSON, The Artist Who Created “Lady in Scarlet” and ‘“Seeing Her Future.” of Bryson’ tion that there is no need to excel in any e oV fcoheat other way.

Breaking the Proverbial Bottle of Champagne. . Rear Admiral Bowles, chief constructor of the navy, who was an interested spec- tator at the recent launch of the armored cruiser Colorado at Philadelphia, has made some Interesting comments on the general -subject of the methods practiced in christening warships by breaking bottles of champagne on their prows. Ac- cording to his experience there are three ways of handling the bottle on such oc- casions. He describes one as the base- ball method, in which the bottle is held like a bat and hurled against the side of the ship with a long, sweeping swing, with energy enough for a home run or a three-bagger at least. Another method is described as the tennis blow, in which the bottle is smashed against the prow with a full-arm serve. The admiral is quoted as saying that this method was used by the sponsor of the Colorado. The third method is described as the ping- pong style, and is a dainty little smash, sufficiently vicious, however, to shower the champagne on the hull and some- times on the fair operator also. It is admitted that none of these meth- ods is perfect, and that failure is possi- ble in each, through the nervousness or excitement of the operator, who, by a bad alm or lack of sufficient force, may fail to break the bottle, and in that way spoil the whole proceedings. A fallure of that kind might be disastrous to a ship, at least from a sentimental view point, and as sailors say, would “hoodoo’” that par- ticular vessel. In one case the sponsor delayed the blow until the descending ship got beyond her reach; ‘but she was equal to the occasion, and by a well- directed throw managed to’smash the bottle broadsides on. To avoid the possi- bility of such accidents Admiral Bowles suggests the use of a device attached to the ship in such a way that when the Young lady releases the bottle it is bound to strike against the prow of the ship with sufficient force to release its con- tents, and thus give the ship its maiden bath before it reaches its native ele- ment.—Washington Star.
