RUSH 70 Q GET UNDER
IMMIGRATION BARS
Commissioner Sargent Ex-
plains Unusual Increase.
Understanding Spread Abroad That
Stricter Qualifications for Admis-
sion Were to Be Made.

Speaking of the increase in immigra-
tion to this country during the past fis-
cal year. Mr., Frank. P Sargent. COM
missioner General of immigration. said
yesterday:
THE only reason I can see for the
great increase in alien immigration last
year over that of any previous year IN
the country's history is that the idea
got spread throughout Europe that It
was practically the last chance to enter
the United states-the land OF liberty
and plenty.
TIE understanding that the United
States was going to change It's immi-
grafton laws so as to make them more
strict and require higher qualifications
in the foreigners who should be per-
mit.ed to lan1 was disseminated broad
ly throughout the European Continent.
1t resulted in a regular scramble to get
into the United States before the bars
we're raised. Nearly 100000 more for
eigners than ever before came 10 tho
United States in one year entered last
year
1.-The countries which showed the
principal increases are Austria Hungary.
Italy. the Russian Empire, and Finland,
Sweden, and Greece. There was last
year Ill ,9s9 Hungarians entered. or S.
$50 more than in the previous year. Tho
Italians, Sicilians, and Sardinians
numbered 1885, or an increase of 49,
379 over the previous ear. Russians.
Firms. Poles. and Lithuanians came in
to the number of 7.34T, an increase OF
90, ,090. The Greeks numbered s.104. an
increase OF 2,194. and the Swedes
reached a total of 30,s94. or 1853 moro
than in 1901. There were also 1870
Japanese entered. which was an increase
OF s.0o1.
''of the total immigration Of aliens
who came in the steerage. the number
being 649.74s. these six countries fur
nished a total of 51O.979, or about 10 per
cent Of the whole"

Speeding Automobile

Bicycle Policeman Z. H. Bray testi-
fed that Sims was speeding at TWEEN
ty-mile clip. Sims declared his ma
chine was incapable Of going at such a
rate, and intinated that he had been
