WOMEN INSPECTORS
NOT MISSIONARIES
Commissioner General of immigration
Defines Status OF New Offices.

4 delegation Of women called yester-
cay morning upon the Commissioner
General OF Imml grafton 10 discuss with
him the requirements of the FIVE female
inspectors 30 be appointed for duty At
View York. They urged upon him the
necessity Of selecting women thoroughly
familiar with the work TO be undertaken
and opposed women who have no otter
training than nursing IN hospitals or
serving with the Red cross Society in
the recent work in Cuba and the Philip
pines.
The Commissioner General gave
them q long audience. but before the del
ezation left he informed them the Treas
ury Department had no intention OF ap-
pointing the inspectors to do mission
airy work He also told the women all
the suggesttC made by them could not
ba adopted. as many proposed by them
were unreasonable. No funds are avail
able fer the purpose Of missionary work.
and the chief object OF the inspectors
would be TO prevent the young women
coming to this country from being pIa III
in the hands OF persons with evil intent
The Commissioner General has re-
ceived more than Two hundred applica-
fions for the five places in question ara
all have been turned over TO Com.ais-
sioner Williams. in New York. The
Treasury and immigration officials have
grave doubts Of the ultimate success OF
the plan. but are disposed to give ii =

former proposition and as iudercnsibIe

1t is. however. unnecessary. on the very

Yet it would be comparatively easy TO
logically and effectively answer the
seemingly homogeneous attitude OF the
legislative friends OF the District in
numerous other particulars.
They have been answered fully in IL"
columns Of the local press within tbs
past fortnight. Representative citizens
OF Washington have through this ne
dunn given their unqualified aud uaaEi-
nous approval OF the Comm:ss. 0Eers' at
titude in relation to the District bill. so
that no vestige of doubt remains as TO
the Districts approval of the go 000-
0Gg loan. Public opinion is practically 2
unit on the character Of legislation de-
sired. and it is difficult to see how 1t is
to be ignored in matter in v-hich il IS
more vitality concerned than national
legislators can possible be.
It is 10 be sincerely hoped that the
members Of the Appropriations Com
mittee wII finally and promptly approve
the Commissioners plan for caring for
the needs of the District. which is pub
licIy approved as wise and just. The
Importance and need Of the loan is ad-
mfrabIy expressed in an interview
chronicled in local paper as follows:
There never was a time when the
money would do more good than now,
and there was never a stronger case
where the burden Of taxation should be
divided between the present and future
generations than the one here pre-
scented"
