MUCH OF THE BOEDER COUNTRY IS TOO ROUGH FOR AUTOMOBILES, AND AMERICAN OFFI CERS USE HORSES WHEN SMUGGLER HUNTING. HERE ARE TWO GUARDS WAITING FOR A REPORTED ATTEMPT TO GUIDE FOREIGNERS INTO THE UNITED STATES.

liu XHA Service L PASO, Texas, May 20. — Aliens and liquor! i.„ ~,) They are being smuggled in together here at Uncle Sam’s ‘‘back door.” Rum * runners are making it easy for foreigners denied leg-al entry to steal across the border without going through the passport formalities. But the foreigners must pay for the privilege. They nave to pack the bootleggers' hottch along with them. Every night scores of aliens, staggering under the weight of sacks laden with tequila, whiky and beer, can he seen wading across the Ri<a Grande. And the immigration officers on this side admit they are practically powerless to halt the steady flow*. Some Caught Some of the aliens, of course, are caught and sent hack to Mexico. Biit the most of them slip in unnoticed. There are not enough immigration and customs men to keep them out. In the last ten months 1,300 have been apprehended and deported. et for the ‘‘hundreds who are caught, there are thousands who escape detection.” officially reports George .1. Harrris, director fpr this district. Harris and a handful of inspectors have 900 miles of tie border to patrol. Only part of it can be covered by automobile. And on horseback the agents cannot hope to travel any great distances. The new r immigration act is making conditions w'orse. Hundreds of Europeans, barren at the seaports. And it convenient to sneak in the "back way.” Wade the River They can wad „he river any place along the line. Once on the American side, they can dodge through the hills £.nd shrubbery. Ther are plenty of r.dlroads inland, and unknowing motorists wdlling to give them lifts. Knocking is too much trouble. The law says they must stay in Mexico two years before they can rap for admittance. So they just walk in without knocking. Under the Japanese exclusion law, the immigration officials are looking for still further trouble. El Paso formerly was the center of the Chinese immigrant difficulties. There were two schools in Juarez that did nothing but coach Chinese in answering questions inquisitive Government agents might ask. Hundreds of their pupils stole into the United States. Four hundred and fifty were deported in a single month. One day alone 100 W'ere arrested. .laps Are Worry This year there has been little worry about the Chinese. But the laps have been bothering the immigration men quite a bit. Six or seven Japanese already have been deported. In the “Island District," a

BAPTISM IS DISCUSSED Dipped or Sprinkled Is Question Among Ministers. Sprinkling versus immersion still Is being debated In church circles today, following discussion among ministers of the Christian Church Monday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. on the same question.
