TOO MUCH PAUPER LABOR
SENATE IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE
TO TAKE UP THIS PROBLEM.
Chairman Fairbanks Believes Salts
tanned at the ComingNSession.

Senator Fairbanks will go to Washington
this morning and will probably not return
until after the holidays. He is chairman of
the Senate committee on immigration, and
q very large amount of work has accumu-
lated in this committee that he desires to
get through with before the session begins
Since his assignment to this committee
Senator Fairbanks has given great deal
Of study to the question of Immigration,
with. He regards it as one of the most
important questions with which the govern
ment has to deal. In order to protect Amer
lean labor and capital the protective system
of customs duties has been instituted, and
he believes that in order to give the work
man the full benefit of the protective sys-
tenn the immigration laws should be such as
will effectually protect him against the i'm
portation of lower-priced labor from E,u-
rope. He does not hold that the voluntary
migration of men from one country to an
other, so long as they are desirable citi-
zens. should be checked, but he believes the
present laws are inadequate to attain their
object of keeping out contract and pauper
labor. The difference III wages between
America and Europe is alluring, and not
only the steamship companies, but the To-
cal authorities in Europe go to great
lengths in assisting the migration to Amer
lea of the undesirable residents. How to
check this assisted immigration is the prob
lem the committee has been working upon,
and Senator Fairbanks yesterday expressed
the subject would be obtained at this ses-
sion.

NEW CURFEW ORDINANCE.
Councilman Costello introduced a new
curfew ordinance by request. Accompany
ing it was a long petition urging its pas
sage, signed by Governor Mount, other
state officials and many prominent business
men. The ordinance makes it unlawful for
children under the age of fifteen years to
be on the streets unaccompanied by parents
or guardians after O'Clock at night from
March l to Aug. 81, and after 8 o'clock
from Sept. / to the last day Of February
ANY minor violating the ordinance may be
fined not more than s.. beside which par
rents and guardians perm itting minors to
be abroad without good reason may be
hned not less than 81 nor more than SO.
Police officers are authorized to make ar
rests without warrants, but may not con-
fine the minors without taking them home
to ascertain the wishes of the parents.

Police Court that the parents refuse to be

LIQUOR LICENSE DAY.
Several Held Up by the County Com
missfOners.

Yesterday was liquor license day with the
County Commissioners. Five licenses were
granted as follows: John Stone, 115 Fort
Pennsylvania street; ]. W. Stewart, $50 Wa
bash street; Andrew +. Danner, PSI Shelby
street; Fred kleine, corner Michigan ave-
nue. and Cruise street. Louis Sussman, who
1t was reported intended starting a saloon
on Washington street, near Maennerchor
Hall, did not apply for a license.

plicants and propose TO consider them close

was a remonStrance against Murphy the
last time he applied for a license, but the
board refused him on the ground that the
description set out in his advertisement was
defective. 1t is understood there is to be
another remonstrance filed against him. in
the case of Joseph Grunwald, of (old) No.
42o Massachusetts avenue, the commission
ers withheld his license on complaint of
nah who resides in the building over Grun-
wald's saloon. This man told the commits
sioners that Grunwald'S place was run

much annoyed by the noise. He said that
during the day two men who were looking
for the way into the saloon, walked into

THE FIRM REASONABLE.
Park Land Entrance Dispute Will BE
Adjusted.

Brewer & Love Bros, owners of the
cotton mills near White river, little above
the old wooden bridge, show a disposition
to be liberal with the Board Of Park Com
missioners. and it appears that there will be
less difficulty in adjusting the plans for
an entrance from Washington street to the
river bottom parks. AT meeting Of the
board yesterday the firm, through it's at
torney, w. A. Ketcham, proposed to short
en- the addition to the plant enough to per-
NIT a fifty-foot roadway between the build
ing and river. Park Engineer Power ex-
pressed the belief to the board that this
would be sufficient entranceway at that
point, as from Washington street to Brewer
& Love Bros plant there are number of
mills, which would preclude any attempt
at identifying the surroundings. In con-
sideration of notifications in the. plans 1t
was intimated that the firm would donate
that portion of its ground which is to. be
taken by the board for park purposes free
of charge. The board instructed the engi-
neer to confer with City Attorney Kern and
Mr.. Ketcham with a view of adjusting the
difficulty. Last spring a member of the
firm said that it had no opposition to the
park scheme, and only asked that reason
able concessions be made so that the firm
would not have to rearrange their entire
plant.
