Just before the Pope there came, ‘walking slowly and solemnly, the cardi- nals who reside permanently in Rome, about 20 in number, marching two by two, headed by their venerable dean, Cardinal Vannutelli, now in his ninety. third year, and the Spanish cardinal, Merry del Val, arch priest of St. Peter’s. Cardinal del Val was secretary of state for Pope Pjus X, and has been a cardi- nal for 25 years, | ‘When the cardinals reached the door In the rail of the main altar they sep- erated and took their places in the choir stalls reserved for them. Once the Pope had descended from ! his platformed throne snd exchanged | his tiera for a white and goid miter and had taken his piace on the throne to the left of the main altar (on the “Gospel side”) the solemn high mass began. The Sistine Choir, perhaps the most famous choral in the world, rendered in turn “Kyrle,” “Gloria,” “Credo,” “Sanctus” and “Agnus Del” all in the solemn and majestic Gre- | gorian chant. After the “ite, missa est” the Pope himself arose from his throne and im- | parted the apostolic benediction to all present.

Besides the immense congregation in- side St. Peter's there was 2 vast throng e square outside, among them being Fascists of the Roman branch clad in their black shirts. The Pope arrived at the Basilica at 10:55 a.m. and reached the throne on the gospel side of the high altar at 11 am. Cardinal Gasparri was given a seat of honor on the same dais as the Pope, directly facing the audienc: Premier Mussolini and his government were represented in the congregation by the undersecretary of foreign affairs, Fran co Giunta, one of the signeis of the concordat, and Senator Fedele, a former minister of education. Bofh were applended as they entered and were given pos onor near the altar. N them were seated Marchioness Persichetti, niece of his holiness; her hushand and King Gustav of Sweden. Prince Boncompagni. governor of Rome, had a reserved position on ome of the balconies overlooking the altas. The congregation numbered about 60000 people, while outside St. Peter’s quare there was an estimated 100,600. | A downpour of rain caused a perceptible | dwindling in these, howeve Bishop Gibbons of Albany.

A syndicate of smugglers had put them aboard a vessel and kept them below ! decks until the ship was safely in New York Harbor. ‘When_the ship docked in Brookiyn the syndicate agent waited until night, then led the five on deck. The black launch was waiting. They slid down ropes to the launch. The police never caught the dozen or more who got away at Pler 2, This happened on the night of April 5, last year. It is typical of the way smugglers land their human contra- band in New York Harbor; typical of a traffic in aliens that mounts to thou- sands yearly since the immigration re- striction law closed this port to the hordes from Europe. In addition to the many smuggled ships from Cuba, Central and South America, tankers end freighters, thou- sands of aliens enter New York ille- gally in other ways. Ten thousand alien seamen desert their ships at New York plers every to Benjamin Day, com- missioner at Ellis Islamnd, way to stop this invasielR of the coun- try by seamen from fo--!gn ships. It is estimated that 1,000,000 séamen each year enter Am:ri=in ports. e La Follette seamen’s aci permits them to take 60-day shore 122v2, in the event that they wish to seek jobs on other ships. As soon as the 1924 quota law went into effect there was an increase in the number of foreign seamen who jumped ship at New York. From 1921 to 1927 a total of 147,204 deserting seamen went their merry way into American cities. In 1923 there were 23,194 of these ship-to-shore jumpers; in 1924, 34,679, and the num- ber this year is estimated at 35,000. Many of them desert on reaching New York, the foreign seamen’s para- dise. In_one year there were between 7,000 and 8,000 undeported desertions, according to J. Hurley of the Bureau of Immigration. One hundred men deserted a single Greek vessel. They disappear off French, German and Italigp ships by the dozens every voy- age 10 New York, In fact, syndicates now prey on European peasants yearning to get to America. through the quota jer. The syndicates collect fees of $150 to $750 and sign the aliens on as mem- bers of-sthe crews of transatlantic steamships. There’s 2 faf traffic these days in seamen. Many an emigrant pays double the ipflce of a first-class cabin for the privilege of riding across in the fo'c’sle with the crew. . ‘They never may have seen an ocean steamship before, but they're “seamen” now and “seamen” they are—until the ships tie up at plers in Brooklyn, Man- hattan and Hoboken. Then the first night in port they're oft the boat, guided by agents of the smugglers’ syndicates through devious passages to the street and foreign quarters, | Fifteen Men Paid $150 for Trip. | There was the case of 15 Italians who were seized here.

The smuggling is on the Canadian and Mexican borders and on the Florida keys.” Commissioner Day finds little smug- gling because his statf of immigration nspectors is so small, numbering ahout {30, that they have their hands full merely attending to routine immigration business. When smuggied aliens are found it’s because the customs service men have found them. Out of the 10 to 40 ships entering port a day only one in ten is searched. If all were searched from bridge to keel, Commissioner Day ‘would be able to give a different report. “We catch most of the stowaways,” he declared. He drew from a drawer in his desk the following official figures of slowaways caught during the last year: There were 22 in January, 63 in Febru- {ary, 24 in March, 66 in April, 46 in May, 58 in June, 35 in July, 69 in August, 25 in September, 54 in October, 33 in November and 33 in December.

As soon as smuggled aliens are un- loaded upon New York piers they seurry like rats for dark hiding places. Sometimes they scurry so fast they reach Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Chi- cago hefore they stop for breath. Ofien their joy at getting in illegally | is shortlived; they are arrested by police and turned over to immigration officials. i A total of 168 of these undesirable | aliens was brought to Ellis Island on October 7 as one of the regular, peri- odical clean-ups. Fifty were women. Some of these were involyed in “white slave” cases, “Two or three times a month we re- ceive groups of undesirable aliens for deportation,” explained Dr. Willlam F.

Hull, United States commissioner gen- ' eral of immigration, many penetrated | into the country. through the port of | New York. ! When rum row flourished off New York, many lens were smuggled in the speedboats that went out ta gather rum shipments. At present the smug- gling of aliens is done on the regular passenger and freight boats entering ' the harbor. Hundreds more are un- loaded at the ports of Boston, Phila- | dephia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Savannah and Jacksonville. ' None of the 800 men of the Border Patrol-—organized in 1925 and com- posed largely of ex-service men, de- tailed for illegal alien hunts—is sta- tioned at New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco or any other “open | port.” The patrolmen are on the bor- der mostly, traveling on foot, horse- ' back and motor cycle. | Consequently, when alien border- ' Jumpers are ‘seized in New York, the | credit must go to the Customs Service | and, occasionally, the New York Police | Department and the Coast Guard rum | chasers, { Immigration officials say there are | thousends of men, women and chil- dren in the foreign districts of New York who entered the country illegally.

February 1 ()~—The trial of A.J.McLean, charged with manufacturing liquor, came to an abrupt end in Circuit Court here yes- terday when one of the jurors, J. E. Wood, was cited for contempt of court on a charge of intoxication. The judge sentenced Wood to 10 days in jail. Resssembling after recess for lunch, the jury resumed consideration of the McLean case.

He called upon the Federal Reserve Board to suggest | legislation to check the increase in brokers’ loans from Reserve funds, Brookhart Holds Conditions Menacing. In discussion following the intro- duction of the Heflin resolution there was little direct criticism of it, a warn- ing being issued, however, by Senator Barkley of Kentucky against “tinker- ing” by Congress with the Nation’s credit system. Senator Brookhart of Iows countered by suggesting that Congress prohibit member banks of the Reserve system from issuing any loans to brokers. Brookhart said the prese: situation was “the menace of our times.” This view was concurred in by Sena- tor Carter QGlass of Virginia, who characterized Stock Exchange specula- tion as a “gambling institution menacing the entire commercial structure.” He declared the Reserve board should have issued its warning a year ago “before the startling peak of almost $6,000,000- 000-in brokers’ loans had been reached. The opinion at the Capitol is that un. less some action is taken on the Cara- | way bill, no legislation affecting specu- lation will be passed at this session.
