shows that of the 64s.743 immigrants
who arrived in the United States dur
ing the last fiscal year 466,360 were
males and 1s2.374 females. OF the en-
tire number Italy supplied 1885. az
increase of 42,379 over the number for
1901; Austria-Hungary, 171,sSs. an in
crease of $500 and Russia 1O7,347. an
increase of 22,69O. Most European

stance. Commissioner Sargent says:
1T can be estimated from the fore
going figures how effective in exclud-
ing aliens would be reading test,
such as that proposed during the re-
cent congress, which would not be ap-
piled to children under fifteen and
adults over fifty"
The total number of aliens refused
permission to land was 4,974, or about
two-thirds of one per cent. of the to-
tai number of arrivals. or these. g.
944 we're paupers, 709 had loathsome
diseases, 0 were convicts and 215 con-
tracted laborers. Referring to the re-
lection OF those coming under con-
tracts the report says:
Although immigration has been
largely increased the number refused
admission during the year as alien con
tract Iaborers has decreased as COM
pared with those barred upon similar
ground last year. from 327 to 275. The
assumption which might naturally
arise from these figures, that the sue
cessful administration of the law had
checked attempts to gain access TO
the United States in disregard of its
provisions, is inadmissible In view OF
the frequency of the complaints which
have reached the bureau upon this
subject during the year under consid-
eration." a .u...
Reference Ia made to the alien con-
tract labor bill pending in the senate.
The commissioner expresses the hope
that It may pass during the next ses-
sion.
Mr.. Sargent finds that the sangulne
view expressed in the last annual re-
port Of the bureau as to the careful
examination by the United States
marine hospital surgeons upon the
transportation lines bringing diseased
aliens to American ports has not been
confirmed by the experience of the
past year. He adds:
THE increase of alien immigration
has not been quite one-third over that
OF 1901 but the comparative increase
of diseased aliens for the same period
has been more than two to one. The
same races which exhibited the larg-
est number Of diseased persons last
year maintain their pre-eminence in
this respect for the. year under con-
sideration."

"Last Twenty Days" Needs No Interpreta

r. in the Woods. .-

Milwaukee, Nov. 11.-Deer hunters
who hurried into the woods Sunday in
order to be ready to begin hunting yes
terday had their trouble for their pains
and dull day yesterday. The state
game warden has decided that the
open season for deer did not begin yes
terday, but today.
The law reads that the open season
comprises the last twenty days of No
vember, and under the ruling of the
warden this includes the Both and ex-
cludes the 10th. Therefore hunters
were not allowed to bag a deer be-
fore midnight yesterday. The deputy
game wardens were given explicit or
ders to see that no shooting was done
until the time fixed.

ALAN MAsON's PERIL
Grows Greater Daily of Dying Man
Condemned for Three Foul
Murders.

Boston, Nov. 1O.-After having given
out Saturday night the confession made
by young negro, George L. O. Per-
ry, with reference to selling the
watches taken from the murdered
women = Miss Clara A. Morton and
Miss Agnes McPhee-the police admit
ted yesterday that Perry declares that
Alan G. Mason is the man from whom
he received these articles This adj
mission of the police was made just
before young Perry was taken to the
jail in East Cambridge, where Mason,
the prominent Boston man under ar
rest on the charge of killing Miss Nor
ton, is confined pending hearing in
the Cambridge court. In one of the Jail
corridors Perry positively identified
Mason as the man who had given him
the two watches. Mason, by neither
look nor word, betrayed any knowl-
edge Of having seen Perry before.
The fact that the negro accused Ma
son of giving him the watches did not
give the police any false confidence
that the mystery of the series of brutal
crimes had been solved. Also it has
come to light that on Sunday, July
q, Perry, who was then employed as
the driver of o mail wagon from Cam
bridge to Boston, was missing from
his work. 1t was on this date that an
assault upon Miss Ellen Murphy oc-
Cured.
Then here are some of the remark
able statements as to Identification
made by good citizens: J. Hampden
Cranbrook says he talked with Alan
Mason on street corner in SOmerville
between 1915 and 1870 Saturday
night. A street railway conductor also
identified Alan Mason as the man who
boarded his car in Somerville shortly
after 10 p. IN. on the fatal Saturday.
Conductor Charles f. Brown says Ma
son left Waverley at 1923 p. m. Sat-
urday on his car and came to Boston.
The case, as it now stands, is full Of
contradictory evidence
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11.-The dis
charge of Alan G. Mason, the Boston
clubman, accused of the murder of
Clara A. Morton at Waverley a week
ago last Sunday night, was ordered
by Judge Charles Amy of the Third
district court of eastern Middlesex
The government lawyer announced
that an investigation had failed to dis
close evidence sufficient to hold the
accused man and ordered the discharge
of Mason.
Almost Immediately, in the same
court George L. O. Perry, q young ne
gro, who the previous day was held as
a witness against Mason, was charged
with the murder of Miss Morton. He
pleaded not guilty, and was remanded
without bail for hearing Nov. 10.
After his release Mason held an in
formal reception and after a short time
was driven to his home in Boston.
