Rice is beginning to loom larger in
the export trade Of the United States,

MANY ARE COMING
Immigrant Flood Is Booming al
New York and Apprehen-
sion Is Felt.
MANY UEDEsIRABLEs ARRIVING
Those Getting Here Have Less Money
with Them Than Is Usually
the Case.

New York. June I5.-According to
the officials at Ellis island the present
influx of immigrants includes an un-
usually large proportion of undesira

ing been already ordered deported,
while $50 are held in the detention pen
awaiting final decision on their cases,
and G,,j4T have been detained for vari-
GUS reasons. but may be landed later.
This condition is believed to have been
brought about partly by the recent
cuts in steamship rates, and the third
class passengers on every incoming
vessel are being watched with the
greatest care. Last June one out Of
every ia immigrants was turned
back, while for the first eleven days
of this month one out of every eighty
has been deported as absolutely unit
TO enter the United States.
Three Thousand I'm One Day.
Many of these now arriving, how
ever, had bought their tickets long be-
fore the present lower rates were in
force, and it is thought those yet TO
come will he of a still worse class.
Nearly 3.0GO immigrants arrived on
three steamships yesterday, and the
facilities at Ellis island are being so
severely taxed that the use of tents
to care FOR those who are being de-
tanned has been suggested. However,
all the officials are not pessimistic. AL
Ian Robinson, who was acting COM
missioner of immigration, commenting
on the general situation, said:

Il do not think we are ready to say
that we expect such an influx that the
building will not be able to hold them

the cut rates will necessarily bring u

Many OF the people who are coming
in today bought their tickets weeks
before the sailing - before the low
rates were in force. Many of them re-
ceived tickets from friends and rela-
tives in New York tickets which
were bought several months ago, pos

DR.. Arp was building some houses
in Moline and the note was accepted
in part payment of his bill by Dimock,
Gould & Co. When it came due it was
presented to the liquor cure company.
but it was unable to liquidate. The
lumber firm called the attention of
DR.. arp to the failure of the liquida-
ton of the obligation. and that the
matter nigh be Strengthened out
he had the amount satisfied by giving
his note for $500 to Bullen. with w. \.

Bullen went to Dimock, Gould &

gave to Bullen. DR.. Arp paid the
judgment.

been obliged to pay for it out of his
own pockets. He demanded return
and payment of the note that had
been given him by Bullcn. but the
latter informed him that the paper
had been destroyed.

knew of: there had been one. but he
tore it up when he pai0 to ID imOck
