THE MYTHICAL RAZOR RAZORS | Pierpont | PRESIDENT TAFT IT ELLIS ISLAND Pirst View. of ‘the Gruelling Aliens- Must Underyo ‘on the Road to American Citizenship—President Reach- es Pretty Definite Conclusion on Three Points. ' New York, Oct. 18.—President Taft had his first view today of that won- derful piece of machinery on Ellis Is- land where the aliens of many coun- tries undergo their first gruelling on the road American citizenship. He spent fivelhours in the one place in the United States where the rights of hu- man liberty temporarily are suspended by executive action alone, while the te- dious work of separating the moder- ately good from the wholly bad goes on day after day until at the end of each calendar year the number of im- migrants passed upon and admitted or rejected amounts up into the millions. The human interest side of the work at the big immigrant station appealed to the president keenly. President Takes a Hand in the Exam- ination. During his investigation the presi dent sat with Immigration Commis- sioner William Williams in a number of appealed cases. Mr. Taft proved a lenient judge, and it was indeed a happy fate which brought nearly a score of rejected immigrants to the bar for final decision on the day of the president's visit. The president took a hand in the examination of practical- 1y all the immigrants who came up on appeal. There were Slavs, Poles, Greeks and Italians, but the most in- teresting case of all was that of a Welsh miner and his family of seven motherless children. The president personally directed that the family be admitted, and he declared that if he was at all a judge of human nature the seven children would grow into the | best type of citizens. Three Conclusions Reached. As a result of his studies and ob- esrvations today, Mr. Taft had reached tonight a pretty definite conclusion on three points: First, he believes that a strong ef- fort shouid be made to distribute the influx of foreigners and do away with the present congestion in New York. Second_he believes that heavier pen- altigs should be exacted of the steam- ship companies for infractions of the immigration rules so as to make them more strict in their examination of immigrants before shipping them in foreign ports. Third, he believes that all male im- migrants upon their arrival here should ‘be put through a thorough examination as to the condition of families left be- hind in Europe. One of the most dif- ficult buman problems of the immigra- tion service has been the separation of families, but the president believes the problem can be solved by requiring im- migrants to tell in advance whether or not families left behind are eligible for admission under the immigration 1aws. Flatfooted Immigrants Admitted. Some aliens suffering from flatfoot were fortunate in being brought before the president. He declared that whila flatfoot interfered with a number of occupations, it was possible for per- sons so afflicted to follow many useful trades. The flatfooted immigrants went joyously on thelr way to New ork. When George Thoriton, the Welsh miner, and his seven children were called before Commissioner Williams and President Taft, there was much excitement throughout the station. All of the under-officials there had taken an interest in the miner, and although he should be disqualified under a physi- cal examination, they still hoped that he might be admitted, His wifo died last August and he had decided to quit ‘Wales and come to this country to seek a new start in life. Wicked Tammany. “In New York state,” remarked Mr. Roosevelt at St Louis, “what calls it- self democracy consists in reality of an unholy alliance between Wall street and Tammany Hall.” Good for Mr. Roosevelt! Bully! Everybody knows how Tammany squoezed that $260,000 out of E. H. Harriman in the ciosing days of the 1901 campaign. Harriman boasted that by means of this money 50,000 votes were turned in the city of New York, making a difference of 100,000 votes in | the general result.” Evérybody knows how Tammany got $150,000 of the policyholders’ money from the three big life insurance com- | panies. Everybody knows how Standard Oil contributed $100,000 to Tammany. Bverybody knows how Tammany took Mr. Cortalyou out of the cabinet, where he was investigating corpora- tions, and made him chief collector of campaign tribute. Everybody knows how one of J. Morgan's partners heiped Tammany collect the campaign fund and how the fat was fried out of the beef trust, the steel trust the coal trust. the paper trust, the railroads and the national banks. Everybody knows how Tammany | commandeered $100,600 worth of trans- portation and ehtertainment from the Pennsylvania railroad, and how Tam- many turned the United States treas- ury over to Morgan and Rockafeller during the 1907 panic. | Tt is ‘an inspiration to hear the clear, strong voice of Theodore Roosevelt de- nouncing this wicked alliance between Tammany and Wall street —New York Wworld. 2 No Wonder.

A dramatic story was told yesterday before a coromer’s jury at Dalkey, County Dublin. The Rev. Father Eng- lish, St. Mary’s coliege, Rathmines, was drowned on Sunday afternoon. and his body was afterwards found fixed in the crevice of a rock. The Rev. Father Walsh of the same community described how he and the deceased were bathing at Dalkey, and after swimming about fifty vards they had turned to come in, when Father English cried: “Help, heilp me!” Fath- er Walsh seized his arm and drageed him to within ten yards of the rocks, when the heavy back-wash swept them out again. Three times Father Walsh endeavored to bring in his friend and_ at length, becoming ex- hausted, he lost his hold. Father Eng- lish endeavored feebly to swim, and Father Walsh, seeing it was only a matter of moments with his fellow priest, raised his hand and gave him absolution in articulo mortis. The de- ceased immediately disappeared. Fath- er Walsh a moment later was flung upon a rock. He was swept off again, but at lensth secured a safe landing in an_exhausted condition. The jury, in_returning a verdict of accidental death, expressed admiration of the priest's efforts at rescue. The coroner said he wondered there were not more people drowned in Ireland, as the authorities did mothing to pro- tect bathers—London Telegraph. A Preventive.

Case of Selectman George A. Barnes of Sherman. Sherman, Conn., Oet. 17.-—Justice of the “Peace Rev. E. H. Byrons today bound over to the superior court under $2,000 Selectman George A. Barnes of this town on & charge of complicity in connection with the casz of perjury against 18 ‘year old William Hetrick, who, it is alleged, ir order to be made a voter, gave his age as 21. Justice Byrons also granted the plea in abate- ment in the case of Judge of Probate Warren C. Allen, who was charged with having on three different- occa- sions on Nov. 1, ‘1908, bribed voters. When Allen had been released he was rearrested on the same.charge on a second warrant. Allen’s attorney in filing the plea: in abatement claimed that the warrant on which the first arrest was made was illegal in that it had been made out by Merrill S. Loiicks, a former state policeman, who had been engaged as & detective to gather evidence in the case, instead of by a grand juror as the law requires: When the first war- rant ‘was declared illegal steps ware taken to secure a second warrant, but a grand juror could not be found who would sign it. and the matter was placed in the hands of Just'ce Byrons, who made out the second warrant. The bonds in the second warrant were fixed 500 and the case set for a hear- = V. 12, Allen’s attorneys now claim that the first warrant was annulied illegally insomuch as it should have been done by Justice Byrons and not by Prose- cuting Attorney N.

Chinese florists have tuberoses of a red color, which, however, is not in- herent in the plant, but is produced in two ways—either by placing the flower stalk in water in which a red earth is dissolved or by supplying the roots of the plaunt with water in which the col oring matter has been dissolved.
