REFUSING IMMIGRANTS

The New Inspectors Order Several SenA
Back and Fines the Steamship Company.
NEW York, May 13.-The first case con-
sidered by the new Board of Immigration
Inspectors, was that of Joseph Sparks q
native of Ireland, who arrived here on
the Majestic with his father, mother and
two brothers. Sparks is an idiot, and,
although his parents claim to be able to
take care of him, three of the inspectors
voted to return him to ireland, and the
remaining inspector voted to allow him to
remain with his parents in this country.
As the inspectors could not come to q
unanimous decision, the matter will be
referred to Washington as test case.
The second case was that of Thomas
Cooney, 10 years old, of Ireland, who also
arrived on the Majestic. When questioned
at Ellis Island, Cooney answered all the
questions on the manifest, but the descrip-
ton of the Thomas Cooney in the mani
fest was so. entirely different from the
Thomas Cooney who presented it that the
board at once debarred him from landing
and fined the steamship company bringing
him here, in accordance with the new
law.
The third case was that of Mrs. K. A.
Menos, who presented a manifest in which
Mrs Menos and infant We're described.
As Mrs. Nenos had no child a second fine
was inl~osed on the steamship company.

BANK FAILURES

INDIANAPOLIS, May Estate Auditor
Henderson was notified at noon that the
Commercial State Bank of Russiaville
could not meet its demands owing to the
suspension of the Columbia National Bank
of Chicago.
1t is thought that the directors were
panic stricken by the failure of the Column
bia and that they should have continued
business.
The State law does not authorize the
Auditor to take charge of the bank. Bank
Examiner Tooter will go to Russiaville at
once. The last report made by the bank
showed resources and liaBpities $73,82S.
The Commercial bank Is one of about 90
banks in Indiana that are thought to he
connected with the Columbia National
Perhaps as many private banks are also re-
lated to the Chicago concern to some ex,
tent. Most Of the former have beer
organized within the last fo9r years.
This has been the first State bank tC

ords at the Auditors Office show that none

RRcoLLEcT1oNs Of the Fisk-Stokes
tragedy were revived in the New York
courts the other day where Mr. Stokes
brought salt for libel against person
with whom he had been engaged in
some business transactions. Rhe de-
fence set up was that person who had
ever been convicted.of felony could not
be libelled, but this plea was offset by a
full pardon for Mr. Stokes, which was
signed by the governor of the state Of
New York seven wears after he was dis
charged from prison. This full pardon
restored Mr. Stokes to all the rights OF
citizenship and relieved him of the dis,
abilities which is attached to an ordi-
nary ex-convict. The fact that MI
Stokes had regained the fall privilege Of
citizenship, although known among hit
intimates, was not, known generally
1t was, however, a naatter Of public
record,
