B.—Since the new American immigration law went in to effect, Europe has: seen an out break of attempted passport frauds. So great has been the desire to reach the shores of the United States, on the part of would-be emi grants, that they are easv prey for unscrupulous traffickers in false documents. Amercan consular offi cers are engaged in running down frauds in Warsaw, Berlin, Ham burg, Brussels and Paris. A favorite but futile device among Italians has been the ‘Ar gentine dodge.” The quota from this country, into America, is far from being exhausted. Armed ■with faked Argentine passport, and a faked birth certificate, purchased from swindlers at a cost of $250, many an Italian has seen his hopes fade rapidly under the expert scru tiny of American consular officers CLEVER TRICK IS WORKED ON ROAD P4&EDENA, Calif., Sept. 8. — People who have been using the Pacific Electric Railway as a me dium for returning- overdue books to the public library, in the future must employ other means of evad ing the librarian’s fines. For months the lost and found department of the railway has beer, returning to the library books pick ed up in street cars and buses. The number gradually grew until one man’s time was chiefly occupied in >;♦ turning books from the car barns. When railway officials noticed that no one forgot to leave ’any privately owned books on the ears, they came to the conclusion that they were being “worked,” and announced that there would be no more books returned to the public library.

MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 8, 1924 MERCHANTAHD n NEGRO IN DUEL (Continued From Page One) Sakadelis, thieves have been enter ing his grocery and soda fountain near the Seaboard passenger sta tion recently, stealing small amounts in cash and an undeter mined quantity of merchandise on each occasion. These intrusions were reported to hte police, and, it is said, Sakadelis was advised by offi cers to watch his store closely. Saturday night at the usual clos ing hour Sakadelis closed his doors and remained inside th e build ing. Shortly after midnight he heard a widnow open and Williams appeared in the store. Stealthily the negro groped his way in the darkness toward the cash register which he had nearly reached when Sakadelis commanded him to halt. Williams apparently heeded the command, and Sakadelis moved to th e telephone, preparing to notify police headquarters of his capture. As he lowered his gun, Williams fired the bullet striking Sakadelis in the abdomen. Although stun ned T>y the bullet Sakadelis regain ed his shotgun and fired, the charge striking Williams and causing death. Williams, as he fell, fired another shot at Sakadelis, and his weapon was found beside th e body when Officer Curtis, summoned by the wounded merchant, reached the scene. The dead negro was formerly em ployed at the Americus fire depart ment, and recently served as chauf feur for a well-known family here, having been considered a fairly trustworthy negro by those who knew him. It is now believed the negro had led a double life during years, serving whites faithfully dur ing the day and at night being a thief and burglar. Officer Curtis, who is regularly assigned to traffic duties, answer ed the phone at headquarters, and when informed of the shooting by Sakadelis went immediately there, leaving -a fireman to secure other information over the phone from the wounded Greek merchant. He reached the scene within a few minutes after the killing occurred and was instrumental in summoning medical assistance for the wound ed man. When Sakadelis phoned headquarters he knew nothing of the condition of his antagonist and being himself wounded feared fur ther shooting might ensue.
