FOR IMMIGRANTS
New York Man wants to
Send Them Here.
Is Told That the Stale Desires a Good
Class of Men But None
of the Riff.Raff of Eu-
rope

A New York man wants to know
if immigrants are wanted in North
Carolina, and in response to his letter
a reply was sent him yesterday that
the right kind were needed and want
ed.
The inquiry came from Mr.. P. ].
BegIey of 478 Canal street, New York,
in a letter to the office of the Commits
sioner of Labor and Printing. This
was received by Mr.. NJ. L. Shipman,
the Assistant Commissioner who,
knowing of the interest of Governor
Glenn in such matters consulted with
him. Governor Glenn declared that
he desired immigrants of the right
kind, no riff raft, and asked that Mr..
Shipman indicate this and make GER
tain Inquiries in the matter.
Governor Glenn is exceedingly
anxious to have the aid of the Depart
ment of Labor and of the Agricultural
Department in bringing immigrants
of thrift and character to the State,
and at an early meeting of the Board
of Agriculture he is going to urge that
body TO use some of its funds in ad-
yancing such work
The letter received from the New
York man is as follows:
"If it were possible to divert ONE
of the immigrants arriving in New
York at the present time, to North
Carolina, would you be willing to re-
ceive such labor? Has their competi-
ton i'm the past tended to lessen the
wages of the native workmen ?"
The reply to this, sent after CONSUL
tation with Governor Glenn, is as fol-
lows:
Replying to your kind favor of re-
cent date / beg to say: North Caro-
lima needs and wishes desirable immi-
grants but not the riff-raff of Europe
or from any other quarter. Inasmuch
as your letter contains no suggestion
of the class of immigrants referred to,
/ am at a loss to know what to ad
wise. IF you will let me have facts
concerning the character and former
occupations of these people I shall be
pleased to cooperate with you in Sc
curing locations for as many as pos
sib!e.
81 have to inform you that North
Carolina is yet without an Immigra-
tion Bureau i'm the real sense of the
term, but our Governor is much inter-
ested in the effort to induce an influx
of people possessed of industry and
high character. Such a class of i'm
migrants would find a warm welcome
in this section, and / do not believe
their presence would tend to lessen
the wages of our native workmen.
would suggest that you confer with
the Governor of this State Hon. r. b.
Glenn, and give him all the necessary
information which would enable him
to decide upon a proper policy with
reference to this matter.
Thanking you for your inquiry and
assuring you of the earnest coop
Grafton of this department along the
lines suggested, / am, &c"

trates court today when counsel for

right to determine whether the ac-
cused had committed an extraditable
offense or whether the basic principle
of the extradition treaty was being
violated
THE minister of justice" declared
Mr. McMaster, a law partner OF the
chief counsel for the defence. has no
more authority to suspend these pro-
ceedings than a man on the street.

seems that he had not allowed his
name to be attached tc an application

accused free"

chereau stated that it was the desire

Paris, March 25.-The prospects Of
peace between Russia and Japan has
assumed a more definite and almost a
tangible aspect tc1ay as the result Of
the announcement of the resumption
of negotiations for a Russian loan
The postponement Of loan occurred
through the stand taken by the finan-

the uncertainties of war continued.
whilst a Willingness to resume nego-
tiations was construed as meaning thar

view of fina1ciers that the proceedings
Of the loan will not be applied to the

IL is understood that one OF the int
ducements TO a resumption of the ne
gotiations was that 2 considerable
portion of the proceeds shall remain

Scientific Romances the World
Has Seen.
(By the Associated Press.)

Amiens, France. March 24-Jules
Verne died at $40 p. m. His family
was at his bedside.
NJ. Verne has been subject to chron-
ic diabetes, but it did not assume a
critical aspect until March 10. Since
then he gradually failed, and the end
was hastened by a stroke of paralysis
covering his right side until the tongue
was affected. The sick man retained
consciousness until shortly before his
death. his brain being the last organ
to fail. He calmly foresaw death,
called the members of his family to
his bedside and discussed his depar-
ture.
Following the announcement of NJ.
Verne's death, kilograms were received
from many quarters. including dis
tinguished authors. II is expected
that the burial will take place here
where NJ. Verne had long lived, and

MUST APPOINT SEVEN.
of This Number, Says the At
torney General.
(Bv the Associated Press. }

ashington, March 24.-The Presi-
dent and Secretary Taft are making
every effort to complete the rear
rangement of the Isthmian Canal
Commission previous to the departure
TO the President on his Southwestern
trip. 1t is possible that this cannot be
accomplished, as it is necessary for a
number of communications to pass
between parties who must be consult
ed before the new nIan is completed.
1t has been decided that it will be
necessary under the law for the Presi-
dent to appoint a commission consist
ing of seven members. He considers
that such a number makes the COM
mission unwieldy, but as Congress
failed to provide for a smaller COM
mission, it is held by the attorney
general that the appointment of
commission of seven members is
mandatory on the President.
