A MENACE TO

Commissioner Sargent Sees Danger ID
Large immigration.
FORM ALIEN Communities.
Half Of Those Who Entered Last Year
Settled in East-..Rec0mmends Legis-
latiOn to Establish Information Bureaus
To Induce Them to Farming Sections.

missioner General OF Immigration,
finds the greatest menace from increas-
Ing immigration in the disposition to
form alien communities in our great
cities. Ofthe S57, 900 Storage pas
sengers coming last year, 100000
over one-half-settled in New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. "Such
colonies, says Mr.. Sargent, "are q
menace to the physical, social, moral
and political security of the country.
They are hotbeds for the propagation
and growth of those false ideas of
political and personal freedom whose
germs have been vitalized by ages Of
oppression under unequal and partial
laws, which find their first concrete
expression in resistance to constituted
authority" Mr.. Sargent recommends
legislation to establish agencies by
means of which aliens shall be made
acquainted with the resources of the
country at large, the industrial
needs of the various sections, the cost
OF living, the wages paid and the price
OF land-such information as many of
the railroads furnish regarding the
territory through which their lines
run. This, he believes, will tend to
distribute the tide of immigration
over the country, where it will be OF
benefit. He also recommends such
Legislation as will correct the abuses
of naturalization by which elections
are degraded.
After reading the addresses at the
Pan American conference of bishops
by Bishop Potter of New York and
Bishop Coadjutor Vincent of Southern
Ohio on The Inclination Of Political
and Commercial Morality and the
Maintenance of High Ideals" resolu-
tons were adopted that it be COM
mended to all bishops and other clergy
first to familiarize themselves with
the great political and economic ques-
tions which today in all lands are
dividing men; and that to point out so
that the selection can be found not SO
much in organization and legisl alton,
as to the application to daily life of
the principles and the example Of
Jesus Christ. Resolutions also were
adopted regarding the attitude of the
Episcopal Church towards the
churches subject to the Roman obedi-
ence providing that the former should
in its contention for it's rights contend
always with unlimited charity to the
Roman Catholic clergy and people,
rather in the spirit of maintenance.
defense and proof chan of controversy
and attack. The resolutions also urge
that Episcopalians marrying Roman
Catholics should not promise that
their children should be brought up
Romanists. Resolutions were adopted
recommending more kindly attitude
towards the other Protestant bodies
with view to possible union with
them. After various resolutions to
thanks the conference adjourned to
meet again at the call Of the primate
of all Canada.

Jackson by the United States Govern
ment rs q result of the land frauds
which have been under investigation
in this State for the last niue or ten
months. United States District At
torney Lee, on instructions from
Washington brings suit against W. B.
Leak and ). p. Myers, of Covington
County. The declaration sets forth
that the Government, in January,
1902, owned valuable pine lands in the
County of Covington, and that Leak
and Myers, without the consent of the
Government, cut from this land q
certain lot of timber, which is esti-
mated at $50. 900 feet of lumber, which
they sold for $l4.00 per 1000. The
Government, therefore, asks that
Myers and Leak be, made to pay the
Government the sum Of SO, 800 for the
lumber so taken. It is expected that
the case will come up for hearing at
the November term of Court. It is
believed that the suit is but the be-
ginning, and that between now and
the first of the year the United States
District Attorney will institute q good
many more. Mr.. Lee, while he has
full power to take the initiative in all
criminal cases. has no power when it
comes to civil suits, aud is guided by
instructions received from the Depart
ment of Justice. He states that this
sui, was the only one that he had
been instructed to bring.
Convicted of Robbing Oyster Beds.
For some time prominent shipper
of raw oysters at Biloxi has suspected
his beds were being robbed, but could
get no clew as to who was doing it.
Suspicion rested upon Swede named
Pascka, and when he offered to employ
one of the shuckers of the dealer
whose beds were being robbed this
dealer advised the shucker to 90 to
work and endeavor to find where the
supply OF oysters was obtained. He
was advised few evenings afterward
that Pascka was going out to fish
oysters that night, and made arrange
ments TO have his grounds watched.
About 8 o'clock after he had secured
two boatloads, Pascka was caught in
the act of robbing the beds aud
imprisoned.

SULTAN OF MOROCCO
 AHEAD OF HIS TIME
His Progrsssiveness the Cause of the
 Present Rebellion.

New York, April 2.-James s. Lam german, the St. Louis fair commission CT, who has just returned from Noroc- co, says the fighting among the tribes men and the pillaging of caravans re- ported by cable have no connection with the revolution started by the pre- tender. Bu Hamara. During the six weeks Langerman was in the country, the pretender met with continuous de- feats. He is not related to the sultan, and since his defeat he has no stand ing in the country.
 The sultan did not execute the rebels, it is said because of his humane views. While the custom of hanging the heads of those executed on the gallows Of the city is continued, the sultan is op- posed to it, and the practice will prob ably be stopped. All the trouble, Lam german says, was started through the sultan trying to open the country to industries. which is opposed by the people who are largely fanatics. He built a short line of railroad from his castle which was torn up by mount aineers. The sultan told Langerman he would give every encouragement to the introduction of American enter prises in Morocco.

THE FLOOD AT WILLIAMS.
Much Excitement But No Great Dam
 age Done.

Williams, April - (SpeciaD. - The town of Williams was fully aroused on Wednesday morning by the blowing Of whistles and ringing of church bells giving the alarm that the upper of the three dams in. the canyon had partly given way. About three million gallons of water rushed down, but fortunately none of the other dams gave way, and all danger now seems past. The Sag inaw dam contains thirty million gal Ions and the railroad dam one hundred and thirty million gallons, and all are full to overflowing. With what little that did break through part of the town was inundated and two horses were drowned. Some small houses were destroyed and three children nearly lost.
 Many of the townspeople left their homes and slept in the large brick schoolhouse on the hillside and in the houses of friends on high ground. Some have not yet returned to their homes. The flood was caused by excessive rain for three days and the melting snow on the surrounding hills.

 CASE DISMISSED. - There were rumors all over town Wednesday night of a kidnapping case, but as nothing had developed the officers had nothing to say. Yesterday the accused came into court, made an application and was discharged, it appearing to be merely a family quarrel for the GUS tody of child. little Ethel Pritt. whose mother is dead and whose father lives in California, having separated him. self from his family several years ago. The quarrel was between Mrs. Josephine Fox and her sister. Mrs. Wall, both sisters of the child's mother. Ethel, who had been living with her grandmother in Tempe, came down to Phoenix to visit her aunt, Mrs. Wall. Mrs. Wall applied for and secured letters of guardianship. Mrs. FOX came to Phoenix Wednesday and got the little girl, whereupon Mrs. Wall applied to the sheriff to have her ap- prehended on the charge of Kidnapping She was arrested in Tempe and brought before Justice Robertson yes terday, when she stated that she did not know her sister had been appointed guardian, and if she had it had been without due notice being given to her. Anyhow, the criminal charge was dis missed and the parties to the contro- versy were recommended to the pro- bate judge for the adjustment of their differences.
