IMMIGRATION'S TIDE AT EBB.
Italians Find it Cheaper to Go Home
than Pay Rent in Winter.

There is one period of the year when
the great tide of immigration Gibbs and
the outfowing stream is almost equal to
that still pouring in from Europe to New
York. This is the time. at anv of the
railroad stations when the trains come
in from the west and south you can now
see on two days a week a living illustra-
ton of the axiom that it is cheaper to
move than to pay rent, for on these two
days, the days on which the Italian
steamers SAIL there throng into New York
parties of dark-skinned laborers who are
going to move across the ocean for the
winter months and will spend Christmas
and New Year under their own sunny
Italian skies.

Battle Creek, Mich. Feb. 1S.-The
great Kellogg Sanitarium, both the
main building and hospital, was de-
stroyed by fire early today. The loss
is estimated at 100000 OF 400 pa
tients, all except two, were gotten out
safely. A woman and girl, names un-
known, became frightened and jumped
from the third-story windows, both
sustaining broken legs. The origin of
the fire is unknown. AS soon as 1t was
discovered q watchman ran thru the
corridors arousing the sleeping patients
on each of the six floors Many of them
were unable to help themselves, but
were carried to places of safety by
nurses. The corridors filled with smoke
very rapidly, and about half OF the in-
mates of the building were forced to
come down the fire escapes. The sant-
tarium stood on a hill, the water press
sure was low and therefore the water
supply insufficient.
Mrs. Daniels. of Eldorado. Ark, fell
from e fire escape and sustained q
broken leg. One or two persons are
reported missing, but these may be
found at one of the houses which of
fered refuge to homeless patients. Most
of the inmates lost all of their belong-
ings, escaping in their night clothes.
The fire started in the bath room, prob-
ably about the furnace.

Two Inspectors DISCHARGED.

Washington, d. c., Feb 1s-The
treasury department yesterday con-
cluded the investigations into the
charges made against various immigra-
tion inspectors acting as boarding Off
GERS at New York. The investigation
has resulted in the discharge of two
men against whom charges were pre-
ferred-Albert Wank and Herbert Sax
ton.
The ether accused officials are to be
retained in the service, but the COM
missioner at New York has been or
dered to reprimand them, excepting
John J. O'Connor. Mr.. O'Connor's
.offense was not considered as deserv-
ing reprimand.
1t was thought by the solicitor of the
treasury, who examined the papers.
that Mr.. O'Connor's omission to comply
in all respects with the rules was the
result of misapprehension rather than
neglect of duty.
The inspectors who have been ord
cred reprimanded are William Bruno,
Phillip S. Biglin, John j. Willett, Ro-
man Dobler, Frank b. Macatee, and
Clarence A. Thompson.

Makes Able Argument in Favor
Of Giving Women Right
to Vote.

Association. now In session here, ap-
reared before the committees OF poth
ho,.as of congress today in advocacy
Of their plea that women be allowed to
exercise the right of suffrage.

turned the control of the hearing over
to Miss Susan B.. Anthony. who made
the first address Of the day. She began

crosses, the ladies have been coming to
congress with their pleas, but she sald
only on one occasion had their proposed
amendment to the constitution been
awarded the honor of being taken up in
the senate for discussion. She, there
fore, made an appeal to be heard by the
senate, expressing the conviction that
the women of the country are as much
entitled to be heard as are Filipinos,
Porto Ricans and Hawaiians. She also
said the 600 women who had been sent
to the Philippines to teach We're quite
as well qualified to exercise the rights
of citizenship as are men who go to
those islands for the baser purposes Of
making money.
On the house side the delegation ap-
peared before the judiciary committee.
Mrs. Carrie G. Gait, president of the
association. explained to the committee
that she desired particularly that the
foreign delegates should describe to the
committee the progress of the woman
suffrage movement In other parts of the
world. The speakers today were Miss
