Nab Alien Smugglers

Brownsville, Texas. — With the trial conviction and sentencing to jail us Isaac Amram and Juan Santano on charges of smuggling aliens into the United States, it is believed by United States immigration authorities here that the two leaders of a far-reach band of border lawbreakers have been disposed of. temporarily at least. An investigation is now being made to determine whether or not the smuggling organization had ramifications in New York, Europe and the different ports of Mexico. Hundreds of aliens, most of them Greeks and Italians. were clandestinely brought across the Rio Grande by Amram and Samano Amram, who is only twenty-six years old. speaks English, Spanish, French Greek, Italian, German and Turkish fluently and has a smattering of various other tongues and dialects. He has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, Spanish America and the United States, acquiring bis education In this country. Charge is SIOO a Head According to his story, his grandfather, a Spaniard, settled In Turkey, and he was born in that country, coining to Mexico several years ago. Some of the languages he acquired as a youth along the Mediterranean; others he studied in universities. Juan Samano was until recently a magistrate at Reynosa, Mexico According to Amram’s version of the gang’s activities, Italians and Greeks were brought across the river, the smugglers charging SIOO a head for this service. Belief that the organized gang of alien smugglers operating from Reynosa had been broken up by the arrest of Samano and Amram was expressed by Brownsville immigration officers, who assert that through the activities of the organization many Greeks and Italians were brought to this side of the Rio Grande.

Death From Heart Disease on Gain

London. —The mental and emotional strain of modern life is mainly responsible for the 400 per cent increase in deaths from Lear disease in Great Britain and other countries, in the opinion of Dr. .1, Strickland Goodall. London cardiologist and physician. "While the death rate from cancer has increased rather less than 25 per cent, that from heart disease has increased nearly 400 per cent.” Doctor Goodall informed members of the In stilute of Hygiene. “The form in which we take our pleasure.” he asserted, "is ti direct inversion of nature’s demands for adequate rest.” The habits of visiting night clubs, drinking cocktails and smoking exces sively were listed by Doctor Goodall among the destructive pleasures. He further maintained that "the emotion al character of modern plays, novels and films, with their appeals to the baser passions, inevitably tends to overstrain, with results which are reflected in the enormously increased number of deaths from tieart disease.” These deaths tire occurring at an earlier age than formerly. Doctor Goodali reported. Whereas a few years ago the common age of sudden death was between fifty and sixty years, an ami lysis of recent deaths had disclosed that “the age is becoming much less.” The physician recalled that 12 persons died suddenly in the United States while listening to the running account of the Tunney-Dempsey fight I in Chicago, and that seven of these

— ' FORCED SALES By THOMAS ARKLECLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. [THINK of all the salesmen who come u[>on one unexpectedly and try to persuade one to buy, the book agent through all time has been the most unpopular. I suppose the reason is that few people have any innate longing for books and especially for such books as the salesman going from door to door is trying to dispose of. If he is to be successful he must first create an interest and a desire and then attempt to satisfy it. Tills requires tact, a knowledge of human nature and how it is influenced, and, of course, persistence, and this last quality is ordinarily all that the wandering salesman of books has developed. If

succumbed when Tunney was floored in the seventh round. He attributed all to emotional strain. A critical investigation of thousands of cases of sudden death shows, said Doctor Goodall, that most of them are due to arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, a disease often caused by hard physical work, mental strain and emotion.
