But the data Of most value in re-
vealing the truth are those which have
to do with the movements of the Ital-
ian immigrants after their arrival in
the republic. As is we'll known, one of
the arguments most commonly employed
Italian immigration is that these inn
migrants remain in the suites in the
East and Northeast, crowding them
selves in the great centres where they
are not Tor it is said that they are not)
Of any use, instead of spreading through
the states of the South and West, where
there is great need Of manual labor.
The following table giving the approx
mate percentages en- route for the states
named shows how Italian immigrants are
giving up this tendency to remain in
the Eastern states and are going in
ever increasing numbers to the suites
of the South and West.

VANDALISM IN STONE SHEDS.


The report Of vandalism in the stone
shed Of the +. b. Ellis Granite company
at Mortified again brings to light a
system Of working out petty spite
that is as mean as can be tried, with
the possible exception Of arson itself.
That it Is spite in this case is evident
by the fact that only finished work
was touched, the granite which was only
in stage Of completion being left with
out damage. The vandal goes about
with hammer and chips off the corners
of the finished stone, possibly gouges
out the smoothed surface or in other
ways makes the stone unfit to fill the
order for which it was cut. The e. B.
Ellis company is not the only granite
firm which has had to put up with the
practices Of the despieable person who
does that sort Of thing. Occasionally

The tendency Of the italian immigra-
ton toward the West and South needs
for its proper development the assist
ance of the government and Of all
those interests which should furnish
and diffuse broadside-in Italian--all
the news and information concerning
the South and West.
From the same report Of the Com
missioner Of immigration it appears
that the number Of Italians cared for
in eleemosynagy institutions and under
restraint or detention in American pris-
ons represents only $40 per cent Of
the number Of inmates, while the Irish
represent n per cent, the Germans 20
per cent and the English 3 per cent.
The following table shows the percent
age Of inmates according to the nation
atty and also according to the various
charitable and criminal institution;

How can anyone, then, maintain that
the Italians as body are naturally
inclined to evil, when the statistics
demonstrate that the number of them
confined in prison is not only not great
or, but actually less than the prisoners
of other nationalities which are scarcely
considered by the American "Italianoph-
oblessY Should it not be admitted that
all this clamor and newspaper froth
about the @Black Hand,a "Mafia,' etc,
which is in evidence all about us IS
pure humbug?
AS sincere admirer of the American
people expires the hope that in con-
sidering the problem Of immigration
they (and their officers) viii free them
selves from any prejudice on the ground
of nationality, and take into account
only proved facts and figures Of which
there can be no question, rather than
empty words and the frenzied phrases
of misinformed rhetoric.

These figures prove that the number
of Italian immigrants who arrive here
alone, and presumably come for short
period of time only, continues to dimin-
ish steadily when compared with the
number of Italians who come to the
United States accompanied by their
children and their old folks to remain
permanently in the republic.
In studying the occupations Of the
Italian immigrants we note relative
decrease in Slaborers" and farm labor

immigrants; in 1903 they were COS
per cent and in the last year they were
only 1914 per cent. The number Of
skilled workers among Italian immi-
grants, therefore, tends to increase more
and more every year.
Financially, too, the Italian immigra-
ton Of last year presents a notable in-
provement, as is shown by the subioined
table, in which the Federal officials by

OUR ITALIAN IMMIGRATION.
Statistics Showing That It Is Not Open

Statistics Showing That It Is Not Open
To Accusations Made Against It.
A correspondent contributes tile fol-
lowing interesting facts TO the New
York sun:
"Permit me 60 call your attention and
that of your readers TO the subioined
statistics, taken from the report of the
commissioner general of immigration
for the year ending with last June,
bearing upon the question of Italian
immigration into the United States, as
offering to the American people irrefut-
able evidence that the Italian immigra-
tion is becoming better every year;
that it is neither more nor less desirable
than the other currents OF immigration
which have helped to people the United
States up to the present; and that, in
fine, in certain particulars the mass
OF Italians arriving here present charae-
teristics superior to those which are
revealed in the immigrants Of other Ma.
tionalities.
During the fiscal year 1904 there ar
rived in the United States 196,02S Ital-
ians; and this number represented GAIL
per cent of the entire number of immi-
grants who had arrived in the United
States during that time. OF these A.
474, or 226S per cent, were women. In
the year 1908 the proportion Of women
in the immigration was 1903 per cent
and in the year 1902 the percentage was
1888. This years increase in proper
tion of women in the ranks of the
immigrants shows that the Italian I'M
migration to the United States is stead
lily losing its temporary character, and
that every year there is an increase
in the number of Italians who come
here with the intention Of remaining per-
manentiy, and who bring their wives in
consequence. This conclusion is streng-
thened by the facts shown in the sub
joined table, showing the percentages

District Attorney Says She Had Nc

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-Mrs. Sar ah H. Peckham has been exonerated of all connection with the cotton leak scandal United States District Attor- ney Beach says:
 Mrs. Peckham appeared in response to the subpoena served on her in New York and was examined by the dis triet attorney. She was willing to ap- pear before the grand jury if necessa- ", but the district attorney concluded from his interview with her that she was not connected with the so called cotton leak and was excused from attendance before that body.
 Tt is only just to Mrs. Peckham tn say that from her statement she was ignorant of the matter. and t,e reveIa- tions made in connection with it were not due to her or to any domestic diff ferences in her household. So much notoriety has surrounded her in con nection with the case that 1t seems only just to her and to her friends that this statement should be made

WOMAN RULING SEX
Driving Males Out of Business, Says a Chicago Sociologist.
BACK TO THE MINES FOR MAN |
Heavy Manual Labor Only Field Left Open For Him-Over Five Million Females Engaged In Gain.
 full Occupations.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 16. = The speech of Mir. Bodine, superintendent of compulsory education at Chicago, before the convention of factory in- spectors-~ and sociologists created a mild sensation among the delegates. The speaker produced federal statis- ties covering the past twenty years showing that the industrial competi- tion of women, children and machine labor was driving the men out of the large cities to fields of heavy manual labor in mining and agriculture He declared that woman was destined to be the ruling sex in industrialism and continued:
 Man, like the Indian, is dying out and being driven out. In 1890 there were 3,914,571 women who were em- ployed in gainful occupations in Amer ica In 1900 the number had increased to 5,329, ,S07. The birth rate among the females engaged in occupations is in- creasing and the death rate decreasing. It is just the reverse among the males. We are rapidly drifting to the age of the eternal feminine when man will be a back number, and forced to the soil and those fields of labor where on- ly his physical endurance will save him in the struggle for survival
 In discussing the competitive life for the leadership in society the speaker said: Society is dying out at the top. It is crystal maze of glass houses. where no occupant dares cast the first stone; the dangerous example: the academy of divorce. Society has moth- CTS who are slaves to the siren calls of fashion and friyolity, who look more often into their mirrors than into the faces of their children. With fash ionable mother gadding about at so- cial functions and fashionable father at his club the result will be that with in a decade the question of the neg lected children of the rich will become as great social problem as that of the neglected children of the poor"

WASHINGTON. Aug i6.-Secretary Bonaparte after a thorough examina- tion of the records in the case of Raph. ael Cohen. the coal passer on the con. verted cruiser whose death resulted from injuries received in a boxing con test held on an American warship in Dominican waters on July 2. said that from an investigation of the records h. saw nothing wrongful although. of course. it was extremely deplorablc that Cohen should have lost his life.
 He added that boxing and athletics generally arc encouraged in the service because of their beneficial influence on the health If the men as well as to re lieye the ie,iium of sailors life. The court found that neither Cohen's ad- versary nor any other person was in anywise culpable and recommended that no further action be taken. Admi- ral Bradford approved the findings of the court as at present informed. and the department finds nothing in the case that calls for action.
