When Representative Siegel of New York, in charge of the measure, let it be known that, not only had Mr. Fischer rendered serv- ices to this country, especially in China, “which gold would never pay for,” but that he now wants to get married. and the lady of his choice will not wed him until he has a clear title to American citizenship, the sym- pathies of the House were aroused. Committee Measures Only. Yesterday was calendar Wednes- day and under that rule, adopted in the Sixty-first Congress. 1910, no other measures are in order except by call of committees. Rule 18 of the House provides that on the day a vote is taken, or on the | day following. any member who voted in the affirmative can arise and move to reconsider. Representative Kprd- ney arose vesterday and moved to re- consider action on the Fischer resolu- jtion. A point of order wa® made that this could not be done on calendar { Wednesday. After hearing consider- ,able argument, Speaker Gillett ruled that the motion to recomsider could be entered on calendar Wednesday. although it could not be considered This reconciles the conflict between the two rules, and Representative Sie- gel said_that he would call up the Emil S. Fischer case again in a couple of days, “when it will be promptly passed.” he said. History of Fischer Case. The story of how Mr. Fischer has failed to qualify as an American cit- izen is thus told in the records of the SEWING MACHINE C. A. Muddiman & Co. 616 12th St. case: Emil S. Fischer was born in Aus- I 810-18 7TH ST. A Plain Statement About Prices HE price question is again in the limelight, The Federal Reserve Board recently has published the report of a country-wide investigation of prices. One of the conclusions of this research is as follows: “Among the factors that are retarding the readjustment are retail prices, high transportation charges, wages and the relatively high prices of coal and steel.” HIS store is directly interested only in the first item on the list—retail prices—and on this point can speak with absolute authority only as to its own policies and practices and of its own kinds of merchandise. It is felt that a brief and clear statement on the matter of prices will be of benefit to both the store and its customers. RICES are down on the things we sell. Down from afourth to a half and more, compared with May, 1920. Prices started coming down a year ago, but the decisive drops in the wholesale markets did not materialize until fall. From the very beginning of the decline it has been the undeviating policy of King’s Palace to match revised wholesale quotations with cor- respondingly lower retail prices—this rule applying to goods already stocked at previous prices as well as to newly-purchased goods. This plan has been and is au- tomatic—a basic and clementary feature of our store practice. HE liquidation of stocks bought before the de- cline set in is a matter of ancient history with this store—and probably with all metropolitan stores selling the same kinds of goods. Modern merchandising demands constant turnover, whether prices go up or down or remain stationary. ING’S PALACE started the present season with 1921 merchandise, bought at 1921 prices and marked at the lower 1921 retail prices. Further- more, in order to maintain the volume of the high- er-priced period of the past, this store is marking mer- chandise closer than ever before and otherwise practicing economies that help reduce the cost to the public, Striking evidence of lower prices throughout the store is furnished in our Anniversary Sale advertisement, printed elsewhere in today’s Star. | chaplain; Charles J.

When under the age of {twenty-one ne left and went to Bra- {zil. Tn 1892 he came to New York city for the purpose of joining his parents. His father upon arrival in thiscountry made application for citizenship. but died shortly thereafter. The mother of Mr. Fischer lived the remainder of ew York. 3 Fischer remained in the United States from October. 1892. until March. 1894, when he went to (‘hina. In 1899 he returned to New York. He jremained in New York until the end | of 1903. 'November 4. 1303. he took out his first papers to become an Amer- can citizen in the district court of the United States for the southern dis trict of New York. Within a month thereafter he left to go to Russia and Siberi® but returned here early in 1904, and in 1906 procceded to China. He again returned to the United States in 1910. Leaving here, he came back in 1812 and then went to China once more. In 1915 the Chinese gov- ernment commissioned him as | viser and fore! secretary Chinese government and sent him to the San Franelsco exposition. He re- maii®d in the United States until D cember 22, 1916, when he sailed aga |and arrived in Shanghai in January. |1‘9‘h He returned to the United States March 2, 1920 | _During his entire {China and in this count garded himself as American_citizen and has stated and given York city as his home. As appears from the testimony taken before the commit- tee, he has always rendered invalua- ble assistance to our government from the time that he arrived in China up to and including when the 15th United States Infantry required help over there. Valuable Service to T. . The report from the House commit- tee shows that Mr. Fischer has ren- dered very valuable services to thej United States and to American in- terests, as follows: ! There is no question about the loy- alty, patriotism, and devotion of Mr. Fiseher to our institutions as dem- onstrated by him both here in Ameri- ca and in China. It has been truly said, AT L L L L good citizenship.” In addition thereto loyalty and devotion to our repub. 1ic. both in its hour of need and in times of peace are two elements to be considered in conferring citizen- ship. Mr. Fischer -has demonstrate that he possesses all of these. On account of his being in China, it has_become impossible for him to avail himgelf of the law, which re- quires that he must be a continuous resident of the United States for five years preceding his admission as a citizen. For more than seventeen vears he has endeavored to become an American citizen. May 11, 1 he again applied for his first papers be- fore the district court of the United States_for the southern district of New York. s: Moral character s the foundation of | I "All of his interests and sympathies have been and are centered in our civilization.

The position in foreign trade which we have acquired will be lost to us unless we thoroughly understand the people of the country to which they are going, including their languages and cus toms.
