CHANGE IMMIGRATfoN LAWS.


Hardly week passes but something oc
ours to demonstrate the necessity or
change In the laws 10 regulate the adInis-
sion of Immigrants into the United States.
On one day last week over 800 OF them
were landed on Ellis Island, from one
steamer, OF whom nearly half were held
this number one-fourth were Immediately
ordered TO be taken back TO the port of
embarkation at the cost of the steamship
company that had brought them, and the
admission or refusal of the others is yet
TO be determined.
The scrutiny of all immigrants ought to
be undertaken by United States oonsuis at
the port of embarkation. Only in that way
can proper control be exercised over the
prohibited classes. There is a law upon
the statute book interdicting the impoTta-
ton Of contract labor, nd yet thousands
upon thousands OF Italians and Hunga rians
arrive at our great seaports every month
and immediately y start for points where they
know that employme mt awaits them.
Strangers, though they are in the country,
unacquainted with its language, ignorant
OF its geography. they are perfectly sure of
their destination. If they came here with
the intention of remaining in the country
OF faniliariZing themselves with its Gus
toms and its laws, and OF finally assuming
citizenship, the case would not he quite
so bad. But their final ambition is TO re-
turn to the land of their birth and there
with the money earned mere, in competi-
ton with native work. ngmen, live in
compa rativc afTluencc until the end OF
their days.
1t is not only an injustice to American
workingmen. but grave menace TO our
social and political system, and it Will
be the part of wise craftsmanship to devise
d remedy. 1t is safe TO say that more than
90 per cent OF this class or immigrants
would never dream of coming near the
shores of the United States il they were not
assured beforehand that work is await
ing them as soon as they arrive. A stop
ought TO be put 10 such immigration, for
it benefits nobody. but injuries many and
does the country harm.

THE TIMES EXTRA.
Splendid Piece of Journalistic WOr
Highly Appreciated.

Splendid Piece of Journalistic Work
Highly Appreciated
The extra edition OF Thursdays Even
ing Times, issued at 5:15. was a remark
able publication. 1t contained an ac-
curate detailed account OF the arrest by
the police al uarper's Ferry of Irwin L.
Ford, the alleged brutal murderer OF Elsie
Kreglo.
The story as published In The Times
extra was the only authentic version OF
the arrest The extra Times was the only
paper TO give this remarkable piece OF
news 10 the public. and words OF Commenda-
tlOn were heard on all sides
The Immense circulation OF the extra
Times must certainly lie gratifying to
those whose advertisements appeared In
thls paper yesterday, from the fact that
The Times printed eight pages in all it's
four editions
The account which The Times presented
10 its readers was wholly truthful It
was full a graphic and Il reliable account
every statement being verified by sub
seQuent Developments.
The very large edition was quickly sol
out and the presses started the second time
TO flll the demand for the extra papers 1t
was, without a doubt, the best piece OF
Journalistic enterprise ever exhibited in
this city.
1t is only approximated by the Times
scoop on its contemporaries a t the time
OF the Aqua Greek express robbery and
the International yacht races.
Verify. 10 be up TO the times, one must
take The Times.

AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
Officers Tried in Vain to Make Fort
Confess

That's Irwin Ford said william Tucker
as soon as he was shown into the presence
of the prisoner. Tucker had long employed
Ford. and the identification was emphatic.
Use Ford" said the prisoner, in Il
startled. falttring voice.
This clucbed the identification. A
murmur of mingled hate, satisfaction, loath-
ing and relief ran through tie group of
police officers and privates that sur
rounded the prisoner.
Guilt was read In the features of the
brute. He lied Inconsistency. He con-
tradicted the statements made concerning
his departure by his wife aud father. He
trcmi,lcd when the details OF the awful
crime were vlvidly recOunted to him.
A tremor of terror aud surprise shook his
brawny frame when Inspector HOlhnberger
pulled from drawer the pistol which had
played so prominent part in the betrayal
of the wretch.
You have seen this pistol before?'' said
Inspector Hollinberger. in determined
way as though there was no doubt about
it. There was no doubt about it.
NO. SIR" said the prisoner, as he turned
his head further from the convincing and
convicting gun.
The prisoner seemed to grow weaker ca ch
moment under the severe strain to which
he was put by his inquisitors, and it was
thought at one time that he was on the
eve OF making a confession. This belief
was not realized, though 1t is thought

CITY REFORM THE THEME.
Municipal League Members Read
Papers at Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, May THE most i'm
portant feature of the second days session
of the National Municipal League was the
annual business meeting, at which reports
were heard aud officers selected for the
ensuing year.
The old board was reelected except
L. E. Holden. of Cleveland. for whom
Prof. Edmund ]. James. of Chicago Uni
yerSity. was substituted as fourth vice
president, and Louis ID. BranderS, OF Boston,
who was replaced as executive COM
mitteeman by Mayor George W oChs. of
Chattanooga.
The names of Judge E. J. Blandin, OF
Cleveland. and d. s. NJ. Newman of Wash
ington. were added to the executive COM
mittee. The place and time for holding
the next annual convention went over
until today. The candidates are Pittsburg,
Indiana polls. Louisville. and Detroit. The
convention then took up the discussion of
papers.
Mr. Charles Richardson, one of the lest
known refOrmers in the country, founder
of the league. and now its first vice pTesl-
dent. made an address in advocacy of
municipalities owning street railways. He
said that careful investigation OF the
earnings of the street always OF the larger
cities of the United States showed that
better service could be given TO the people
at much lower rates than those now pre-
vaiIing.
The reduction. he said. of 80 or 40 per
cent n the usual fares, or the payment of
a corresponding amount into the public
treasures. would still leave a liberal
margin ofprcfits on the eOriginalin vestments
OF the companies.
Mayor HaZen s. Pingree of Detroit, Mich.
expected TO be present to read a paper
on Public Control of Franchises but he
teIegra phed this morning that he was up
TO his ears in public business and would
probably not reach Baltimore for the con-
vention. His paper was. however, read
and made part OF the proceedings. In it
the mayor asserted that ''the question OF
control of corporations operating under
municipal franchises, is a purely political
question; question OF practical politics.
Yirginius Newton presenteda briefsurvey
OF the present municipal condition of thecity
of Richmond. Va, which he stated was far
from satisfactory.
The municipal condition OF Nashville,
Tenn. was handled by Mr.. A VS. Lindsey.
He believed that IL government could al
ways be kept with the people and exercised
as In the town meetings Of New England,
there would exist little danger of serious
error.

A sad. accident occurred here
Monday morning about 4 o'clock.
K. III. Marshall, brakeman on the
N. d W., was working on night
turn at the coal chute in Browns
town. Being fatigued and sleepy,
he sat down at the foot of the chute
and fell asleep. While asleep an
engine came up to the tank to take
water, and the fireman threw some
coal in the chute to fire the pump
with, ignorant of the fact that the
unfortunate man was at the foot of
the chute. A lump of coal said to
weigh about 40 pounds struck Mar
shall in the head, crushing the back
part of the Uranium. He was taken
to his boarding house, at b. f. Will
sons, and is in a serious condition.
His recovery is somewhat doubtful.
