TAKE CHINESE INTO CUSTODY Immigration Inspectors Cap- ture Six Asiatics Who Had Crossed the Mexican Line| UNABLE TO GIVE NAMES Prisoners Will Be Ordered . Deported as They Are Not Legally in This Country| : { SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14.—SIx more Chi- | nese were brought to the County Jail' this - afternoon accused of being ‘in| the United States unlawfully. They | were captured by United States immi- | gration inspectors late Monday night; { while they were in the vicinity of Otay. ! That the Chinese had traveled far was evident by their condition. All were tired out when captured. They are | thought to belong to a large party of | Chinese which have been making Ense- | nada their quarters while waiting for a favorable opportunity to cross the' line without detection. ! None of those captured were able to' give their names. They will probably | be arraigned before United States Com- ' to-morrow, and as none of them have certificates they will probably be ordered deported. With the arrival of the six to-day there are now twelve Chinese in the County Jail who have either been ordered deported or| who are awalting a hearing. { Dick Yip, another Chinese caught! near the boundary some time ago, has been ordered deported. He had in his possession a list of twenty other Chi- nese who started with him for this con- | tinent and who had paid a company in China money to get them into the United States. A map was found in his pocket giving directions for the jour- ney from Ensenada to Tia Juana, thence by a devious route to this city. ———— MAKES FINE COLLECTION OF PICTURES OF OLD SHIPS Secretary Scott of the Chamber of Commerce Exhibits Types of i Famous Craft. v Secretary Eben Scott has placed on the walls of the new assembly-room of the Chamber of Commerce, in the, Merchants’ Exchange building, the: most interesting collection of marine | pictures that has ever been seen in this city. This consists of representa- tions of great sailing vessels of four types and indicative of four periods { of maritime history when “wind jam- mers"” were the monarchs of the seas. | The first of the vessels represented is the Roscius, one of the old “Baitimore clippers” that were in use early in the nineteeth century. This was do- nated to the Chamber of Commerce by the estate of Oliver Eldridge. The second is an old “Black Ball such as carried the business of the Atiantic Ocean before the ad- vent of ocean steamships and were used even after the steamships had been adopted. This was also given to the chamber by the Oliver Eldridge estate. The third ship pictured is the Flying Cloud, one of thie ‘most famous of the swift craft that brought the gold seekers to California in the '50's. ' | The Flying Cloud had the clipper ship record between New York and San Francisco. Once the Flying Cloud made a run of 13,610 miles in eighty- | Again the trip was com- pleted in eighty-nine days and nine- teen hours. On one of these trips the handsome clipper sailed 375 miles in twenty-four hours. W. C. Gibbs gave this to the chamber. The fourth of the interesting series was given by Captain W. L. Merry, now United States Minister to Central American republics. It represents the “half clipper” Tornado, which had | good speed, but was more particularly designed to have cayrving capacity and to be stanch. Since the clipper ship days have departed and the car- | r¥ing trade of the world is destined to | be conducted with steam as a motor the pictures have great historical | value. They are given a favored po- sition where the light falls upon them and where they will be readily seen | by Californians as they sit in council ' in the assembly-room. —_———— ‘ASIATI(.‘ MONROE DOCTRINE JAPAN'S LONGING HOPE Rev. W. N. Brewster, Noted Mission- ary, Speaks of Political Condi- tions in Far East. The probability of an Oriental com- pact which will create and maintain an Asiatic Monroe doctrine was one of the many interesting things heard by an audience last night at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, Twenty- first and Capp streets, by the Rev.
