MISS TAYLOR AN HEIREsS.
The Dismissed Clerk is Left $500,
 900 By Her Uncle.

Washington April 1S.-(Special. Miss Rebecca Taylor, who was dismissed from the War Department for criticising the administrators conduct in the Philip pines and who afterward sought strenuously to be reinstated on the ground that she had violated no civil service law, is fortunate at last, having fallen heiress to an estate of a deceased uncle valued at $3OO000
 Nobody who knows the clever woman doubts her ability to make the best of her good luck. She is possessed of rare intelligence. Arguing her own suit in court against the Secretary of War she won the highest commendation from law yers of experience for her admirable and lucid presentation of her case. Her fortune comes in good time. for Miss Taylor was in strengthened circum- stances. She was employed during last summer by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. her work being confined for the most part to compiling literature on the Philippines situation.
 Miss Taylor is young, exceedingly fair, with wonderfully frank and eloquent blue eyes, and should never lack attention, even without the fictitious aid of wealth But she is so clever and superior to all foolishness that most men are afraid of her.

of which they were the leading members. He said:
 When came on this bench seven
 years ago there were nine boys running wild about the city, and were frequently
 before me on various charges. Now
 every one of them is either in jail or
 reform school. Four of the boys are at
 the Industrial school at East Lake Among them is Jimmy Kennybrook, who l is the brightest and best boy in the , school. He formerly led the gang, which l would prize the bars of high windows and ! lower this little fellow through them. He would then tie stolen goods to the rope | and the boys would pull 1t up. When they got as much as they could carry they would pull him up and all would escape. They had regular organization and would throw out pickets to prevent the police from catching them.
 ''The other five boys are in penitenti- aries serving sentences for burglary and
 grand larceny, or worse crimes. Four of
 these five are in Alabama, while the fifth is in Missouri, serving long sentence
 on charge of manslaughter or murder. Had there been a reform school large enough in those days We could probably have saved all these boys, as we have l saved four. The other five are criminals | for life. and all because the State will not provide a place for their detention where | they may be educated to the wrong of | their ways.
 l Tt would be much cheaper for the State to provide a reformatory than to allow | these boys to be at large a part of their time and commit burglaries. Take the l. example of young Kennybrook. ,In the past month he has stolen goods valued at
 nearly $1,0O0. This sum would keep him | ten years at the Boys Industrial School, | and he would have left there a man.
 These are only two of the burglaries he l has committed, and there is no telling
 the amount of the goods he has stolen at 1 other times. think the State would save considerable money by providing l home for the boys. Two of the other members
 of the old gang who are in the peniten- 1 tiary are Charles Cook and Red Rigger." !"

BY THOUSANDS
IMMIGRANTS ARE SEEKING
 AMERICAN FREEDOM.
One Days Record is 12,6o1-Czar'. Decree Does Not Benefit the Jews and Many are Expect
 ed to Come Over.
New York News.

New York News.
 Yesterday was a record day for the immigration officials at Ellis Island. Not for many years. the inspectors say. have there been so many immigrants in the port of New York as there were yester- day.
 Early in the morning the Teutonic of the White Star Line landed s2o. to be soon followed by the Princess Irene of the North German Lloyd Line with 2,1A. Then came the Potsdam of the Hamburg American Line and the Liguria of the Italian Navigation Company, each hav- ing on board over 1000 immigrants.
 Toward noon the Piemonte and the new Scandinavian Line vessel, Hellig Olav, came into the harbor,. the former with b4O persons and the late rwith 1,310 in their steer lge, while shortly after them came the new Faber Line ship Germania, with 1.S0O making the total number of immi- grants in port at noon S.37S
 But that was by TO ,ncans the end, for the Cora, from jIbraltar, with 1,5S1 in her steerage, and the Pennsylvania. along in close succession, until on the bulletin boards was posted the record for the day-12 col immigrants in the port of New York.
 Only about 1000 of these were landed yesterday, and of them a great propor- ticn were sent West, five trains full leaving over the Pennsylvania Railroad. A few were sent to the New England States, and a thousand or so remained in the city. Over hundred wagons from the Italian Society took the Italian inn migrants from the barge office as they were landed. Late last night train load. mostly Scandinavians, was taken South over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
 The arrivals included Italians, Scandi- navians, Dutch, Irish, Russians a few Germans, Servians and Bulgarians. There were very few Russian Jews among them, the reason being that 1t is contrary to the Jewish religion to travel during and short time previous to the celebration of the Passover.
 The authorities expect a great many Russian Jews during the coming spring, as the recent decree of he Czar, declar- ing religious freedom, does not better the condition of the Hebrews in that country. Many Jewish societies on the lower East Side are preparing to provide employment for the newcomers.
 All told, there were nine ocean liners from various parts of Europe which ar rived in port yesterday.
