THOSE WHO CAME
HERE LAST YEAR
Instructive Figures From the Report of
the Commissioner of I'm
migration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19.-The
annual report of the commissioner of
immigration was made today. 1t shows
that Of the 64S,743 immigrants who ar
rived in the United States during the
last fiscal year, 466.369 were males and
1924 females. OF the entire num-
Der of arrivals, Italy supplied 1885.
an increase Of 42,379 over the number
for 1901; Austria-Hungary III 1888, an
increase Of $3.50, and Russia 107,347.
an increase Of $4,000. Most European
countries showed an increase, but there
was a falling off in the arrivals from
Ireland amounting to 1923, the tota!
from that country being 29,13S. The
figures concerning Atlantic immigra-
ton shows a decrease from China of
$40, the total being 1,649, and an in
crease from Japan of 1901, the total
being 1920. OF the entire number ar
irving, 1921 were unable to read Or
write, and "A 1853 were under fourteen
years of age.
The number Of aliens refused per-
mission to land was 49,494, or about
two thirds Of 1 per cent of the total
arrivals. Of these, 3,944 were paupeTs,
709 had loathsome diseases, 9 were con-
victs and 275 contracted laborers.
Mr.. Sargent finds that the sanguine
view expressed in the last annual re-
port of the bureau as to the effect OF
careful examination by the United
States marine hospital surgeons upon
the transportation lines bringing dis
eased aliens to American ports has not
been confirmed by the experience of
the past year. He recommends radi-
cal legislation.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Oct. 1S.-One OF
the most peculiar cases that has ever
come before the district court in this
city was given a hearing before Judge
Searle this afternoon. The case Is a
consolidated one and the point in ques-
ton is to whom belong the proceeds of
a $4,000 policy in the Modern Woodmen
of America.
Over q year ago Albert Smith, a resi-
dent of Little Falls, was killed in the
woods. He carried a policy of insur-
ance in the society. made payable to his
sister, Albertina Kowalsky. She start
ed an action against the society in
Morrison county. Herman Smith,
father Of Albert Smith, started a SINH
lar action in Hennepin county, and the
Modern Woodmen declined to pay the
face of the policy until it had been de-
termined who was the beneficiary. The
society finally paid the amount asked
to Judge Searle and the cases were
consolidated and sent to this county fol-
trial.
The father contends that his son
had no sister named Christine Johnson,
to whom the policy was made payable,
and lays claim to the money on the
ground of his being next Of kin. The con-
tention of Albertina Kowalslzy is that
her brother Albert always knew her as
Tina and that he did not know to whom
she had been married after he left
home, but imagined that it was to a
man named Johnson. Hence Christine
Johnson was named as beneficiary. The
money Is in the hands Of the court and
he is asked to determine who is en-
tilted to It.

WOMEN AT A DANCE
HAVE LIVES IMPERILED
Many Thrilling Escapes From Death at
Fire in the Business District
of Albany.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 1s.-The most
destructive fire that has visited Albany
in a number of years broke out shortly
before II o'clock tonight in the Tower
& Brooks company's Boston store, one
of the largest dry goods stores in the
heart of the business district. There were
many thrilling escapes from death, and
one fireman was killed and number in
jured. Thomas Ward, a pipeman, slipped
from the top of a ladder and fell thirty
feet, breaking his neck.
At the time the fire broke out dance
was in progress in the hall on the top floor
of the burning building. Escape to the
street was, cut off by the fast spreading
flames and twenty-five young men and
women We're lifted out of the front win
dows and helped over adjoining roofs.
Several women were burned, but none
seriously hurt.
The structure was once the residence Of
former Gov. William l.. Marcy and one
of the historical spots in Albany. Ten
minutes after the fire was discovered
flames were pouring out of the windows
and neighboring buildings were ablaze In
many spots. The Municipal Telegraph
company's building was badly damaged.
The loss to the Slower & Brooks COM
pany will exceed 500, 900, partly covered
by Insurance. No estimate can be found
tonight on the other losses.
