WORSE OFF THAN WE ARE
The British Complain of Undesirable
Glass of Immigrants.

London, Oct. 18.-Major Evans Gordon
NJ P. a. member of the royal com mission
on alien immigration, who has just re-
turned from a two months visit to Rus
STA, Poland, Galicia and Roumania, where
he has been studying the causes underly-
ing the Jewish exodus, thence speaking to
a representative of the Associated Press
today said:
Secretary Hays Roumanian note ad-
mirably expresses the reasonable attitude
of the United States toward immigration
generally. 1t is a perfectly just staterSent
of the responsibility of the Roumanian
government for the exodus of Jews from
concrete results. I do rot think, how
ever. that the Roum anian is the most vital
question to the United States. Roumanian
immigration to America has been very
thoroughly sifted by several influential
Jewish societies. This, coupled with your
immigration laws and the fact that a man
must have a fair amount of money even
to get to New York insures your getting
the cream of the enigrants- The Russian
America both as regards number and
the class of people involved You must
re rel aoo that RoumanIa has only about
250.000 Jews, while Warsaw alone probably
has Jewish population of 100000.
Speaking as a private individual there
is no doubt in my mind that sooner or
later England will have to adopt restric-
tive legislation of some sort. The royal

Meanwhile, apart from the Jewish side
of the question, 1 believe that it will be
found that England is being made and
has long been made a dumping ground not
only for the pauper but for the criminals
and undesirable persons OF all Europe.

cities told me frankly that when they

English Baronet Gratifed of Accept
anca of CHALLENGE.


London, Oct. 1S.-Sir Thomas Upton.
in conversation with a representative OF
the Associated Press, today said:
Il wish you would say how grat1f1ed
I am at the acceptance of the challenge
for another series of races for the Amer
ica's cup The lack of formalities &C
conpanying it and the prompt and cor
dial answer of the New York Yacht club
was one of the most satisfactory signs
of pleasant relations now existing in
connection with cup challenges.
Sir Thomas displayed great interest In
the dispatches announcing the personnel
of the defending syndicate and the re-
ports regarding the design of the new
defender. He seemed inclined to be-

turn out a faster boat than the Column

baronet said he could not quite announce
the date Of her launching. He hoped
she would be Is minutes faster than the
Shamrock II.
At Dumbarton, Scotland, a represen-
tative of the Associated Press was in
formed from an authoritative source
that the reports that no aluminium
would be used in the construction of
the Shamrock III were incorrect. There
will be just about ten times more alu-
minum used in the new challenger than
was the case with the Shamrock II.

A FRESHMAN poem"
The Freshmen are so much e1ated over
their victory that the poet laureate of the
class has burst forth into a few stanzas
in memory of the occasion. The poem, as
handed to the State Journal. is as follows:
Up at Washburn Friday night;
All the Sophomores and the Freshmen
Got mixed up in sorry plight.
Donahue and Hughes and Sheldon
But We cannot name them all,
For the Freshmen are so many.
But the Soph crowd looked quite nall
All the poor chaps in the doorway
Tried to look SO prepossessed,
But the lads who rushed below them
Had no fear within their breast.
While the Freshmen girls were yelling
Braying Sophies said, ''BeNstill.
We with canes set all together
Rushed right up the stony hill.
Then we butted, clenched and scuffled,
Striving for the chapel floor;
Bumped our noses, tore our clothes,
In and out the open door.

Broke his nose guard, lost his headgear;

Struggling with their might and main;
Thought they had us almost vanqufshed,
Then they saw their task was vain.
For we knocked them round quite lively,
Though we struck them first in fun;
We founced;we thumped; we routed them;
Nor neglected even one.
Then we gained the upper landing.
Midst the hubbub and the din;
Then the Sophies struggled nobly,
But they had to let us in.
There a programme was prepared US,

And we heard the words of wisdom,
Quartettes, essays and address.
Then we walked out through the Sophies,
Pushing over. tumbling down;
Rushing out upon the campus
Like mob in crazy town.
There we tagged and rolled together,
Over stones and grassy tuft:

is YOUNGEST OPERATOR.
Ten-Year-Old Boy at Menard, ILL.,,
Claims the Distinction.

Bloomington, Ill. Oct 1S-The youth
at Coulterville who is being advertised
as the youngest telegraph operator in
the state is easily discounted by William
Mckinley Enscore. of Menard. He is
but 10 years of age, three years younger
than the Coulterville phenomenon, and
is able to send and receive messages on
main line wires with the accuracy and
speed of an adult operator. His sister
Lena, who is one year his senior. is
equally skilled.
Both were taught biography at home
by their mother. Their father, r. L.
Enscore, was for thirteen years agent
and operator for the Cairo Short Line t
Galatia, ILL.,, but for some time has been
a resident of Menard.
The children, though they spend con-
siderable time in the telegraph office at
Menard, are regular in their public
school duties and are well advanced in
their studies.

family. Captain William E Sewell, Z. s.
~, will sail today on the station ship
Supply for Guam to assume the COVER
noTship of the station. The Supply. which
was Commander Pillsburys flagship dur
ing the recent naval maneuvers has
handsome quarters for the officers. There
is also a suite on the ship for the accom-
mediation of such distinguished Oriental

American governor. Probably it will take
her three months to complete the voyage
to Guam. She goes by way of Sucz and
will touch at Colombo and Cavite Spe-
cially constructed heavy anchorages will
be used to moor the shin. The coast of
Guam is fun of reefs. and typhoons often

ings on the coast and to endeavor to cut 4
huge reef in order to make a safe roadway
and haven for vessels.
The new governor and his ship are likely
to remain at the post three years.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

In addition to the plays noticed on our
dramatic page, there will be three at
fractions at the theaters the latter part
of next week. Richards & Pringles
Georgia mintsrels come to the New
Crs wford on Thursday night Special
prices of 10. 20, 80 and so cents will be
made.
"A Devils Lane" a musical farce.
will appear at the Grand Opera House
on Thursday night. The company is
headed by the Gilmore sisters, who are
favorably known here. An original fea-
ture is the old-fashioned singing bee,
which closes the evening. The prices
will be 25, 35 and so cents, and the sale
starts Tuesday morning at Flad's drug
store.
A comedy which has been mine for
its promoters, Delcher & Hennessy,
comes to the Grand on Friday night. 1t
is Browns in Town and its success is
attributed to the fact that the piece is
really comic. This is. perhaps, best tes-
titled to by the fact that it has had its
grea test success in returning to cities
where it has been played before. Though
Browns in Town has had several sue
