A STARTLINGIN
JANUARY INCARCERATION MUCH
GREATER THAN LAST YEAR.

immigration to the United States from all
countries for January. 1905, shows an in
crease over January,--f9oS, of Il per cent.
The figures are from che monthly state
ment of the bureau lof Immigration. The
total number of aliens entering the United
States in January. 1903 was,3iS5l, in Janu-
airy. 1901 1t was 2SJS. and in. January,
1905, it had grown to, 1885,
Those debarred FROM all countries num-
bered sol in January 1903; go in January,
1904 and 1.65O In JANUARY, 1905. an increase
in debarment ia January, 1906, of 1903 per
cent over the same monlh in 1908.
Russia sent over Gill Ia January. 1903; in
January. 1904, there came 800 and in jan
uary 1905. there were 15.743 entered, an in
crease over January, 1903, of 155 per cent.
This startling growth IN the immigration
from Russia is. as has heretofore been eX-
planned in The Star. due to the disinclina-
ton of the cars eountrymen to engage IN
a war in which they have no heart, and
the bureau of immigration has been put to
a great deal of extra labor in examining
them for entry and excluding those whom
the law classes as undesirable.
The bureau also gives the figures for the
six months ended, January 81, 1903, 1904
and 1905 For, the first named period the
total immigration from all parts of the
world amounted to 304, no for the second
period they were 500, 10, and for the last
they reached 39s.379 The year 1905 showed
an increase for the six months named of
81 per cent over 1908.
The number debarred from all countries
for the six months ended January 81, 1908
was ,3,112; for the same period in 1909 it
was 3 234. and for the same period in 1905
it was 1898. In that list 1905 shows an
increase over 1903 of As per cent.
For the period named IN 1903 the immi
grafton from Russia alone reached the fig
ures of 81 .2s3, for 1894 they We're 62, $50
and for 1906, they were 7,2S2 Thus. 1905
shows an increase over 1908 of 30 per cent
in the immigration from Russia.
For the month ended January 81, 1908,
there landed at the port of New York 43. 125
immigrants from all parts, of which num-
Der 800 were Gebarred. Baltimore stood
second on the list WITH log landed and
eighteen debarred. "a.

SUIT FOR INJUNCTION.
Railway Companies Proceed Against
Ticket Scalpers.

Proceedings in equity for injunction, the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
being asked to restrain the defendants
from buying, selling, dealing in or solicit
ing the purchase or sale of any tickets or
ticket or the return coupon or unused por-
ton thereof issued for use over the COM
plainants lines of railway, or any part of
them. which, by the terms thereof, are non
transferable, were instituted today by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, the
Southern Railway Company, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the
Washington Southern. Railway Company
against Jacob Spliedt, Max w. Sherman,
George May, Lewis Freirick, Fred Schwab,
F. II. liable, Ernest G. Thompson, Marion
Coreat, Joseph Benjamin, NJ T. Staub and
William Fitzgerald, who are SAID 10 DE
ticket brokers.
1t is charged that the sale of non-trans-
ferable tickets is illegal and contrary to
the provisions of the laws of the United
States, particularly in that the persons
other than the original purchasers using
the tickets thereby secure transportation
for less than the public rates, and that
the same is not only wrongful and is in
violation of law, but also for the reason
that the same is fraud upon the com
plainants by all parties privy TO the buy
ing and selling of special tickets.
The case was called to the attention of
Justice Anderson in Equity Court No. l.
forthwith and motion for temporary
restraining order argued at some length
by Attorneys Hamilton, & Colbert for the
compliments, and Attorney Henry E. Davis
for the defendants. Justice Anderson took
the matter under consideration. Several
of the defendants were in court during the
arguments.
The compliments in their bills, among
other things charge that the nature of the
business of all ticket brokers or scalpers
and the methods of conducting the same
are alike, land all make use of fraudulent
devices and Misrepresentation to dispose
of non-transferable tickets, which form a
large part of their stock in trade; that
they are practically in combination or
conspiracy to defraud railroad companies.
by inducing. persuading or misleading the
travelling public to sell and buy such nom
transferable ticket contracts" and that in
junctive relief has been accorded railroad
companies by courts sitting in other cities
and states. II. ~

William M. Keane aid to Be Wanted

William M. Keane, fifty years old, was
arrested yesterday by Detectives Baur and

and burglar alarms. The jnducement he
offered was a guarantee Of SIS week on

the police of Newark, N. j.. telling what
they knew of the prisoner message was
also received from st. Louis asking that
Keane be turned over to the authorities
there, as they have charge against him.

CHARGES AGAINST MR.. DRAKE.
Commissioners Have Not Decided Upon
Course to Be Pursued.

The exact nature of the inquiry to be
made by the District Commissioners INTO
the charges filed by the Royal Beneht so
ciety against Superintendent Thomas IL
Drake of the insurance department has not
vet been determined by the Commissioners
At a board session held last evening the
Commissioners merely touched upon the
Drake charges. owing to lack of time
Commissioner mcfarland stated to re-
porter for The Star today that the char
acter of the investigation-in the charges
will not be determined upon by the Com
rnissioners until the early part of next
week.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle expects to
be out of the city for a day or two after
today. and the other Commissioners will
be obliged to give a great deal of their at
tention to other District matters owing to
the approaching close of Congress.
1t is believed that the Commissioners will
get together Monday or Tuesday of next
week and thoroughly consider the papers
which have been filed in the case.
BY that time the detailed reply of Super
intendent Drake to the voluminous COM
munication and charges of the Royal Ben
eft Society will have been submitted and
the Commissioners will carefully consider
all the documents and decide upon the
course of procedure to be adopted. 1t is
not known at this time whether lengthy
public investigation will be necessary or
whether statements and affidavits by both
parties In interest before the Commission
will suffice.
1t can be definitely stated that the COM
missioners will not consent to employ coun-
sci for the benefit society to conduct It's
case against Mr.. Drake. Neither Will the
CORPORATION counsel be designated to defend
Mr. Drake The corporation counsel Will
act in an advisory capacity to the Commas
sioners, and it is thought that perhaps
neither side will find any necessity TO en-
ploy counsel for the inquiry.
Judging from some of the documents re-
ceived by the Commissioners in connection
with the Drake charges during the past
few days. the controversy is developing
into an alteration on the side between the
society and oae of its former employees.
The Commissioners yesterday receivd
statement from Mr.. Ernest r. Niemeyer
former employe of the Royal Benefit So
ciety denying statements attributed 10
him concerning Mr.. Drake, in an alleged
affidavit of Henry j. Green. presented by
the society to the Commissioners.
The Commissioners today received an
other statement from Mr.. N!emeyer, this
later statement being sworn to by Me
never. in which the affiant relates the his
tory of the society and describes some Of
its business methods The Commissioners
today also received a statement from L.
Henry of New York. who appears to be a
special agent Of the society.
