INVESTIGATING IMMIGRATION.

The Congressional Committee Much I'm
pressed by What They Saw
The members Of the congressional committee
who have been investigating the immigration
question In New York, says Baltimore IS,e,,
special, have returned, it is stated, much i'm
pressed by some Of the scenes Of misery they
were forced to witness at the landing stage,
but to which. from long years of familiarity,
local feeling has grown cslloused. creditable
story Is told Of Congressman Funston OF Kan
sas. member of the committee, who came
across at Ellis Island, the four children of one
OF the typhus victims of the Massilia, who are
waiting to be sent back to Russia. With the aid
OF an interpreter Mr.. Funston talked with the
children. They were very poor. and as they
told Of the hard time they had had they began
to cry. The little girl was moaning for her
mother.
The Congressman could not stand it. He
took the little thing up in his arms, and before
he could comfort her there were tears in his
own eyes. Then he drew his pocket book.
put the little thing down and began distrib-
utlDg two-dollar bills. He gave one to every
member of the family. from the father to the
1our-year-old- Then he Strengthened up to his
full SIX feet, and his heavy voice was husky as
he said:
IT m not used to this. I've got some chill
dren OF my own Ican't stand it to zee that
little thing crying for its mother"
Senator Hill took no part In the important
ousiIess OF the investigating committee, but
remained attending to his personal political
fences during their stay in New York.

Poor Children and School Books,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of March you publish letter
from the Hon. Barnes Compton, in which he
complains of unjust criticisms Of his speech on
the District bill. and particularly of his remarks
on tho free book clause, and he reasserts what
he then said. that the reason he opposed any
increase OF the amount recommended by the
committee was that the burden would fall the
heaviest on the small property holder, the one
who paid the greater portion of all taxes and
the least able to bear any increase. He says no
one Will deny this assertion that the small prop
erty holder Is the heaviest taxpayer. Does he for
get that large class who own no property at ALL
only their daily labor at small wages, who yet
must pay the taxes Of the rich in the shape Of
exorbltant rents. Surely Mr.. Compton will
not deny that the renter pays the taxes on the
property he rents? This large class must not
only pay the taxes on the property they rent.
but also the insurance and repairs, which, to-
gether with the necessaries Of life for their
families (and this class of people always
have the largest families). exhaust their meager
earnings and leave nothing for the purchase
OF clothing, to say nothing OF school books
And 1t Is often the case that they have to keep
their children from school because they are not
able to buy the necessary books. The matter
OF clothing they could manage someway, for
thank God, the time has not yet come in this
country when q boy in a ragged coat can
not learn as readily as one dressed
In broadcloth; but the purchase Of books is
where the pinch comes; the frequent changes
III text books often prevent the younger chill
dren from using the books purchased for the
older ones. Sometimes a child cannot get
through single grade without change Of
books Therefore for one think that it would
be not only just but polite to aid this deserv-
ing Glass OF citizens in securing for their chill
dren an education, just because by so doing
you enable them to enjoy small portion Of
the wealth they have SO largely created. By
educating the youth you assure the stability Of
society ard good government, ana as in past
wealth has been compelled to call on
poverty for protection in time Of trouble
SO In the future could you confidently rely on
those who own no property to protect and
respect yours. l had thought Mr.. Compton
would have been the last man to raise his voice
against the free book clause (thereby denying
to the children Of the poor an education).
for the reason that among the beneficiarie. Of
this act would be many of his own con-
stituents-men who have voted for him for
every office he has ever held, and that has been
all his life, for he has been kept in office by
the votes of these men and their fathers from
his youth up. Now, do hope that Mr.. Comp
ton will acknowledge that he has been wrong
for once in his life. and, like the honorable man
that he is, do so no more.

HE ASSAULTED HIS WIFE
And Then. 1t Is Supposed. Tried to Burn tn,
House Up.

And Then, 1t 10 Supposed, Tried to Burn the
House Up.
VIM. Matthews, a colored man about thirty
five years old was prisoner in Judge Miller
court this morning, charged with having as
saulted his wife at their home, No. 1927 25th
street northwest, yesterday. The prisoner
works about the river front and yesterday when
he went home he was considerably under the
influence of liquor. His wife was at home when
he arrived and after they had quarreled he
struck at her. Following that he threatened
to burn everything in the house. and about 6
O'Clock in the evening considerable excite
ment was caused in the neighborhood
when smoke was seen issuing from the
doors and windows of the house. An
alarm of fire was turned in, but there was no
work for the fire department, as nothing but
the furniture. as well as the stove and dishes.
and feeling of uneasiness prevailed until
Policeman ORourke appeared and took the
man away under arrest These facts were ex-
planned to Judge Miller this morning. and one
witness said that the prisoner was locked in
the room where the straw was burned.
Judge Miller wanted to know if the man tried
to burn himself, and Sergeant Myers remarked
that the man was pretty well burned with
liquor.
The prisoner admitted that ne struck at his
wife, but he denied that he attempted to burn
the people in the house.
For the assault the court imposed fine Of
40 or thirty days and required the prisoner to
give $500 real estate security to keep the peace
or stand committed six months.
