MANY WOMEN FOR THE JOB
Of Clambeung Up Ships Sides as In
speetors of Immigration.

About 40 women visited Ellis Island
on Friday and yesterday to apply for
the six inspectOrships to which women
are TO be appointed. The women in
spectors are to board incoming ships
and question women passengers found
alone and unattended, principally in the
Storage and second cabins, to see that
they are not being lured here for evil
purposes. On account of the delicacy
of their mission. and the agility re-
uuired to climb the rope ladder from
the cutter to the steamer deck, Com
missioner Williams is anticipating a
great deal of trouble in selecting six
women who will just fill the bin
He said yesterday that it would be at
least three weeks before the merits Of
the respective candidates could be gone
over thoroughly.
The women who have thus far pre-
scented themselves as candidates have
been of all ages and sizes One woman
said that she had been all over the
world as stewardess of a vessel. and
a rope ladder had no terrOrs for her,
as she had often been up to the crows
nest. Another woman declared that she
had beer a trapeze performer There
have been any number of women, the
Ellis Island folks say, who seemed to
think the feat Of boarding incoming
liners as the men do was an easy one,
but whether they would be the kind
who could deal with the women pas
Hengers without giving unnecessary Of
Tense is a matter Of cOnsidera BILE doubt.
1t was at first planned TO appoint the
women from the civil service eligible
list but this has been given up. There
are limits to the usefulness OF COM
petitive examinations. The appoint
memts are to be for ninety days to test
the system.-NeW York Sun.

BEYOND DOUBT.
German Emperor Did Talk Too Much
and Too Loud.

New York, Jan. s1.-The National
Review again refers to its famous story
about the German emperor's visit to an
American yacht saying, according to
the London correspondent of the Tri-
bune:
''The story may now be regarded as
no longer challenged in any competent
quarter. It is beyond all possible doubt
that the kaiser did perpetrate an appall-
ing indiscretion by talking. AngIophobia
at large in the presence Of strangers
and discussing his uncle, our king, in
the most offensive manner. Judging
from the communications which have
reached us during the last two months
this incident made a deep impression
upon our readers. The reason we lay
SO much stress upon it is that it affords
a conclusive reason why the German
emperor should not be allowed to oecu-
by the position which he covets in this
country of being the power behind the
throne -

Omaha, Neb., Jan. s1-President of
the Union Pacific met representatives of

Friday to continue the conferences be
gun in New York three weeks ago. The
meeting resulted in the latter's repre-
sentatives leaving without having
reached a settlement and they declare
the strike will now he continued in
definitely and viii be extended over the
Southern Pacific system.
President Mcneil of the National AS
ISOLATION of Boilermakers was spokes-
man for the strikers and told President
Burt that a thorough canvass of the
strikers had been made with the result
that they unanimously agreed that they
could not accept the piece work sys-
tenn.
President Burt replied that the men
could return to work under no other
condition and expressed himself as sorry
the men would not give the system a
trial. The conference lasted 10 minutes.
The labor leaders returned to labor
temple and stated that a mass meeting
would be called at once and steps taken
by the strikers to extend the strike TO
all parts of the Hartman system.

1t IS wei known that President Still
