CUNARD STEAISHIP LINE FINED T0 LINIT Secretary Davis Also Asks Diplomatic Action Over i Immigrant Question. The maximum fine under the im- migration laws has been ordered assessed against the British Cunard steamship line by Secretary of Labor Yavis, who has also asked the State Trepartment to make diplomatic rep- resentations to the English govern- ment against what he classes “as a bold and, 1 believe, a_knowing at- 1pt on the part of the company to violate the immigration laws, either ause of the paltry profits to be ned thereby or to discredit our 3mmigration poli ecretary Dav position of fines on steamship com- panies totaling $1.050,000, he said to- ay. The fines will be imposed, if the etary’'s wish is carried out, for leged violation of the immigration laws, in which the steamship com- ies have brought to this countr immigrants in excess of the quot: t the countries from which the im- uigrants came. It is the crime of the age Mr. is said, following a conference s morning with Assistant Secre- ary Henning, Theodore Risley, solic- itor for the Department of Labor, and W. W. Husband, commissioner gen- eral of immigration. Mr. Davis point- 1 out that in thousands of cases immigrants sell their homes and spend all the money on passage to 1his country. When they are turned Vack, he said, they are frequently Janded at ports many hundreds of aniles from their former homes and ve no funds to reach their former lace of.residence. Thousands of im- migrants have had their lives ruined and their life savings wiped out by the avarice of the steamship com- panies, he added. The circumstance complained of arises out of the arrival on Decem- ber 10 at New York of the liner Aqu ania with 300 Hungarian immi- £rants, notwithstanding that on De- cember 1 the immigration bureau had announced to all steamship lines that quota of immigrants from Hun- ry legally entitled to enter the United States up to July, 1 was exhausted. Mr. Davis likewise ad ed a letter to Attorney General augherty, asking for a legal opinion as to what action can be taken in * appalling situation which has arisen by the reckless disregard of the law by steamship companies.” Constant Controversy With Lines. Since the enforcement of the new immigration act, which limits the mumber of aliens entitled to enter the definite percentage of the number of that nationality already resident in the United States, the immigratign thorities have been in practically constant controversy with steamship Jines, which they have charged with ieliberate ‘intent to make the law Tutile. The situation has been en- livened by midnight races to the port of entry between vessels carrying im- igrant cargoes from countries whose dwindling quotas made it probable that arrivals on the las: vessels would be excluded and deported. “The chief offender in this instance is the Cunard liner Aquitania.” Mr.!| Davis said, in his letter of protest to Secretary of State Hughes, “which arrived at New York on or about De- cember 10 with somewhat more than 200 of this nationality (Hungarian) on board.” ‘This_vessel is said to have sailed from Cherbourg on or about December 4. it being understood that the Hun- #arians were embarked at this port. Some of these aliens were admissible under exemptions found in the law. but at the last count 204 of them had been found to be mandatorily ex- cluded from admission. Fines as Prevention.

WINCHESTER, December 19~—The annui Girls' Athletic Association last night was almost broken up by the unexpected appenrance of n bride and groom in the dint room of the hotel, where more than fifty members of the as- soclation were gathered around the feative board. The newlyweds, accompanied by the groom’s best man, made profuxe apologies for intru ing, snying it was all a_mi take, and were about to with- draw when they were sudden- 1y surrounded by members of the society, who sald the bri and greom must remain take pluces at the head of the table with the president, who shocked at this mercenary practice, nd demands that some one be pun shed for the great wrong that is be- ing done them.” “I am giving instructions that fines be imposed,”” Mr. Davis continued. “U'nquestionably opposition to this course will be made at the very threshold. Will you be good enough to give me your opinfon as to wheth- er, under the law, fines may properly be imposed on these steamship com- panies?” OFFICIALS DENY CHARGE. Detailed Statement to Follow Read- Q '!ng of Text of Message. NEW YORK, December 19.—Offi- cials of the Cunard line denied the al- legation of Secretary of Labor Davis that the line had deliberately violat- ed the immigration laws. “The Cunard line,” declared P. W. Whatmouth, general passenger agent, “has at all times done its very best to comply with the requirements of | the Uaited States immigration laws. It has done nothing at any time to discredit such laws or the immigra- tion policy of the government. Other officials also made general denials to the Secretary's charge and declared that a detailed statement would be made after they have had an opportunity to read the full text of the Secretary’s message. SEEEKING TO CO-OPERATE. The steamship companies are trying to co-operate in every way with the government in_enforcing the pro- visions of the immigration law, de- spite difficulties with which they are beset. P. A. S. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine, declared today before the House im- migration committee. The difficulty in complying precise- 1y with the law, Mr. Franklin said, was due to the many different routes fram which immigrants are drawn and the inability to. keep close track | of nationals because of the different | points of embarkation. “We are just as anxious as you are said Mr. Franklin, “and we regret the ove: carriage mainly because of the hu- mane point of view. The companies are required to return without charge all persons arriving here and ordered deported, but we look at the problem also from the standpoint of the per- son who is separated from his family and sent back to Europe. Figures for the calendar vear show about 77.000 arriving in the third class in exces of the number going out, so, the movement is well in hand. Mr. Franklin recommended continu- ation of the 3 per cent restrictive law, with the vise system so perfected as to prevent overrunning of monthly quotas. A change in the working ma- chinery of the act. he contended. would help the companies and immi- grants as well. STUMPED WITH LINCOLN. R. S. Hick, Active in Campaign in 1854, Dead at Ninety-Three.

One of the oldest Washington cha ities, the Childrens Country Home, the only institution of its kind in the District. Its purpose is to give to a number of children who are physical- 1y below par, or who are recovering from serious illness, a chance to gain complete health through weeks or even months in the country under careful supervision. During the past ummer the Instructive Visiting urse Society, under Miss Bollimz. su- pervised the home. Miss Mary Ford was resident manager and Miss Sarah hotts supervisor. We cared for sevent during the summer,” said Miss Bol- “Four mothers also were re- ceived. The children stayed an aver- age of a month's time each, some of the weakest staying the whole va- cation period. Many of the youngstel were as much a; per cent under weight; all of them gained, a number gaining as much as ten pounds dur- gz a few weeks or a month. Man were enemic.

Hundreds Need Chance. Hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of ‘Washington children nefd just this sort of chance to recuperate and to catch up with health. The value of the home to the people of the city would be greatly increased were its facilities and resources enlarged. The children cared for in this way are recommended by such agencies as the Children’s Hospital, the board of health, the board of children's guar- dians, the Child Welfare Society, Co- lumbia Hospital, Providence Hospital, the Instructive Visiting Nurse Socie- ty, school nurses and parents.

Commissioner of Pensions Submits Find- ings of Board of Actuaries Secking New Business Methods, For cconomic and efficient operation of the civil service retirement and dis- ability act the establishment of ac- counts which will show at all times the liability of the fund and the es- tablishment of the individual records of each active participant is of primary importance, according to the board of ac- tuaries, directed in the law itself, to make recommendations regarding changes necessary to protect the public nterest and maintain the system upon a sound financial basis. As the most important steps to be taken for the welfare of the fund, both from the standpoint of the employe or eneficiary and the standpoint of the government, the first annual report on the actual operation of the retirement act, which has just been sent to_Congress by the commissioner of pensions, recom- mends as follows Recommendations in Report. The board of actuaries assumes that employes of the government, and and the government itself, will not desire to maintain the ret'rement and disabil- ity fund without definfte knowledge of the Jiabilities and of the provisions vhich is being made to meet tiese bilities. . An 1deal operatidn of the tem would call for definite annual appropriations from the government to cover the government's share of the nor- mal and deficiency contributions and for the accumulation of these appro- priations in the fund at interest in the same way as the unexpended contrib ons of employes are now accumulated. 1t this were done the cost of the retirement fund would be covered as it accrued and the benefits would be provided for at the time when the service which established the claims or benefits was rendered. Under these conditions, if the present scheme of the benefits were kept and the employcs contributed at 2.50 per cent of salaries, the government would be required to put aside 2.31 cent of the pay roll for the retire- ment benefits of employes for about thirty ¥ after which time 1.06 per cent of salaries of employes would be sufficient to support the fund. From time to time the annual cor tributions required of the government would be checked by means of ac- tuarial valuations and any changes necossary in the rate to maintain the fund in a permanently solvent con- dition might be made. Conxidered Best Plan. The board of actuaries recommends this plan of support as the one which will most strongly_ protect the fund and under which employes will have the most definite assurance of their benefits. Furthermore, it would ap- pear the more logical method of sup- port for the government to follow from an economic standpoint, ina much as it places the responsibility for retirement benefits upon the tax- poyers who are receiving the benefit of the service of the employes to be retired. 1t this suggestion is not followed by Congress the board urges that Con- gress authorize the opening of an account on the books of the Treasury Department to which will be trans- ferred each year a credit of the amount due the fund on this basis, together with interest on the balance of the amount, and that this amount | be carried as a general liability of the government. Under this plan, which is the plan followed by the Canadian government, subsidiary accounts may be opened showing the liability of the government on acoount of past service and the liabilities on account of current service. If the government desires to know the total cost which it is inourring fo: personal service it may turn to the accounts showing the annual accruing liability on account Eobletlhn more suitable able capacity.

If such accounts are opencd the true cost of the retircment plan will be known from vear to year and a basis will be made available for checking the administration of the system. Plan as It Now Standw. At the present time no account whatever 1 taken of the acerning lin- bilities under the fund on the books of the government. Contributions are inow being collected from employes and placed to the credit of a single account in the Treasury. Every cent of money collected in this manner carries with it, under the law, the right of the employe to have it re- turned to him with interest. The funds collected are, therefore, \the same as trust funds. Neverthe- {less, despite the rights of the em- i Ployes to their contributions, the con- tributions from employes in the serv- ice are being paid to employes who {have retired and who have already withdrawn all of their own money, so | that not only are the deposits of the employes not being credited with proper interest, but the principal litself is being dissipated. This pra Itice is exceedingly dangerous to the government because, unlike the lia- bilities for war pensions, which may be expected to decrease, the liabilities under the present fund will steadily increase. From the government's standpoint, the present method of promising the benefits without definite knowledge of cost is’ unsound business practice and is dangerous to the taxpayers. If the true cost Is not known the gen- eral inclination of the public will be to underestimate the cost of the re- tirement system, and since no appro- priations are immediately required slowly more liberal by the adoption of costly benefits which would never {have been considered had proper cost figures been available. The board of actuaries believes it unnecessary to develop the many technical points which might be pr: ented in support of its recommenda- tion, that accounts showing the lia- bilities of the fund be established, for the advantazes to be gained from such accounts will be apparent any one who gives consideration to the present practice. Would Continue Records. The board of actuaries believes that a record of’ certain data regarding all the employes covered by the retire- ment and _disability fund should be maintained, which would be adequate for use as a basis for the actuarial valuations and investigations into the service experience of the participants of the fund and upon which may be predicated all estimates of cost. It is not within the province of the board to recommend which department should maintain this record, which {would include the date of birth, salary changes and service record of ail active participants and the date and cause of separation of all participants who leave the service of the government. That the government should main- tain a retirement system of the im- portance of the civil service retire- ment and disability fund without main- taining in any department a roster of all the members seems incredible. Such, however, is the case. In fact, it is mot possible to secure_even a figure indicating the total number of members from any one department of the federal government. ‘The board of actuaries recommends taat a Small staff be created either in the Civil Service Commission or in the office of the commissioner of pensions, whose duty it shall be to maintain a register and record of every member of the fund and that this record be cor- such a record, because under the law the tendency may be to make the plan | to| 150 ARE ARRESTED IN'BIG LIQUOR RAID Fashionable Persons Taken Along With Others in Chicago Clean-Up.

CHICAGO, December 19.—Vigorous i prosecution of alleged liquor law violators taken in numerqus raids from Mayor - Thompson to clamp down the liquor lid in Chicago was promised today by Robert I.

The raiders visited every quarter of Chicago, from the exciusive Casino Club on Lake Shore drive to the ‘Black and Tan” resorts of the south side. Among those held was Harry Mager, formerly United States “hicago district. A large stock of liquor was found in the apartment where Mager was taken into custod: according to the police, and he w charged with violating the Illinois prohibition law. Chief_of Police Fitzmorris said that from secret reports he convinced that Chicago technically was dry. “But_ we will not relax,” he said. “The more exclusive the place raid- ed, the more prominent persons ar- rested, the better I'll like it. “For it will show no one is immune.” Lockers in clubs will be the next target of the police, it was stated.

The cost of preparing individual rec- {ords will be heavier if a record is not maintammed currently ard without the record of active members, the proper data is not available for actuarial pur- poses and for many administrative pu poses for which such statistics of tie service would be helpful. Irregularities Noted. The report points out that there are certain inequalities in the law govern- ing the retirement and disability fund which the board recommends shouid be removed. In pointing out these inequalities and suggesting changes, the board has endeavored to avoid any recommendation which would in- volve any appreciable increase in eit _her the liability of tae government :or the contributions of employes. None ! of the recommendations, therefore, is for the purpose of making the plan {more liberal from the standpoint of ! the benefits, because the board has be- lieved it to be without its province to make any recommendation which would tend to place the board on rec- ord as either favoring or disapproving the demand for increased benefits which has come to the attention of the board.
