IMIGRATION PROBLEN STILL IMPORTANT ISSUE Country is, Slowly Waking to Need of New and Better Immigration Laws Washington, Oct, 20 (Capital New Service.)—“Big as the United States is ” said a senator yesterday, ‘“you can’t continue to pour the scum of Europe into it indefinitely and not in the end {fill it with the dregs of humanity.” Congressman Albert Johnson, (Washington State), quotes some 'startling figures in support of this idea. , He says: “New York City has doubled her population in the last few years. Her foreign born population is 35.5 per cent. A study of the 1920 census figures made by Dr. Walter Laidlaw, executive secretary of the New York City 1920 census committee, shows that New York City has a foreign ‘white-stock population as large as the whole population of Chicago, Detroit and Boston; that the Russian ele- ment is larger than the population of Warsaw, and that there ‘are 100,000 more Italians than there are in Nap- ies. ‘The leading foreign elements in New York City in 1920, according to Dr, Laidlaw, are as follows: Russian, 994,356; Italian, 802,893; Irish, 687,744; Austrian and Hungar- ian, 602,167; German, 593,199. There are 13,920,692 foreign born in the United States, acording to the 1920 census. Many of them are unable to speak English and a still larger number cannot read it.” There seems no escape from the idea that this Nation must do one of three things: Initiate an Amer- icaization program which will really make Americans out of our large fofeign born population, restrict im- migration so drastically that only the high type foreigners can get into and remain in this country, or be content gradually to overflow the melting pot and become a hybrid na- tion of a hundred nationalities. REAL FOOTBALL GAMES ON SATURDAY SCHEDULE By Henry L, Farrell (United Press Sports Editor) - (By United Press) New York, Oct. 20—First real foot- ball bangs of the season starts to- morrow with an attractive program. Features of the schedule are the games between Harvard and Centre College at Cambridge and Georgia Tech and the Naval Academy at An- napolis. Centre beat Harvard last year and the' Colonels will give the Crimson a fight, simlpy-because they teach them to fight at Centre. -'The Col- onels, however, haven’t the chance to win they had last year, Georgia Tech probably will’ have an interesting time with the midship- men. The Southerners are strong {pr the style of depending on a strong attack for the defense, while the midshipmen are always well schooled on the defense. Featured in the middlewest will be the game between Ohio State, form- er champions of the western confer- epce, and Michigan. It addition to jts effects on the conference championship race it will be a big game because it will be the official opener for the new million- dollar Ohio stadium. Other interesting games in the conference will be between Iowa and Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, and Minnesota and Northwestern. WINNESOTA SORLET Yrair Sonient amd TORICAL | tonight in east.

ERICE 3c MANIA FOR MOTHERHOOD CONFIRMED BY FRIENDS Indiana Wo;—Accuagd of Killing Twins, Given Preliminary Hearing is Hammond, Ind., Oct. 20—A mania | for motherhood, for which Mrs, Hazel McNally, accused of slaying her twin babies, was obsessed from childhood, was described in her preliminary hear- ing on a charge of murder here today.

Later she wheeled around a baby carriage containing a a bundle of which she claimed were twins. No one was allowed to look at their faces but we found out that they were dolls dressed as children.” Mrs. Kahne’s daughter, a girlhood playmate of Mrs. McNally, confirmed her mother’s story. Attorneys de- fending the young woman relied on this testimony to free the girl, Frank McNally, Hazel’s husband, was cross-examined at the opening of court. He said his wife gave birth to twins, December 8, 1921 and they mysteriously disappeared the following February. He said she substituted the dolls for the children.

Bonar Law, who accepted condi- tionally the invitation of King George to form a ministry, consult- d leaders of the Unijonist party whose bolt from the Coalition government yesterday caused the downfall of Lloyd George, who was at the helm of the government for six years. The Canadian-born business man, who may become the head of the next government, is to give defiinte ac- ceptdnce to his majesty if he is chosen leader of the unionist party.
