RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF
THE IMMIGRATION LAWS
Sargent's Order will Turn Back Many
Russians Seeking Refuge in
This Country

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-An inves-
tgation of labor conditions in New
York, conducted by Commissioner
General Sargent, has caused him to
direct the rigid enforcement of the
immigration laws, with the result that
many Russians and Russian Jews who
are seeking refuge in this country will
be shut out. No further leniency will be
shown and only those who have the
necessary amount of money or who
have relatives who will guarantee that
they will not become public charges
will be landed.
By order of Sargent inspectors were
sent to the headquarters of all of the
New York tailors' unions. They
found that thousands of tailors were
out of work and that newly arrived
tailors were struggling for work at
from SO so to SIS a week. Other labor
markets were reported similarly over
stocked.
Some arrangement may be made to
divert the unprecedented rush of i'm
migration to the South, where men
are needed, but until this is done only
those who can comply with the letter
of the law will be landed at New York.

Harry Silverberg's Arrest
Deprives Him Of Half
Million Dollar Cleanup
HIS RECORD AS FORGER
Most Widely Famed for His
/. Impersonation of J. Cole
man Drayton of New York
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-After rubbing
elbows for three months at the fash
lonable Ansonia apartment t-house with
such towers of finance as Vice Presi-
dent Gage e. Tarbell Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society and Colonel
William c. Green, the wealthy copper
magnate, Harry Silverberg, interna-
tional swindler, most widely famed for
his impersonation of ]. Coleman Dray-
ton, has been arraigned in the Jeffer-
SON Market Court and remanded to po-
lice headquarters for twenty-four
hours Meanwhile the police are max
ing every effort to present formal
complaint against Silverberg to-mor-
row in connection with the floating of a
mining project, by which, under the
alias of j. S. Young, Silverberg boasted
he would clear 100000.
Silverberg is 35 years old. In the
past fifteen years he has been caught
in swindling operations in America,
Europe and Japan. His father was a
Jewish rabbi and gave him a good ed
ucation.
Among the crooked affairs In which
Silverberg is said to have figured was
the swindling of the Bank of Mexico
of $4,000 by forged drafts, for which
he was thrown into prison, escaped and
returned to New York. He also OBJ
tained. 1t is asserted, $50, 900 from a Chi
cago firm Of builders. under the name
of c. Whitney Jr. His forgeries at the
German Spa are said to have been
enormous.
In Budapest he obtained 10000 marks
by fraud. He fled to Calais and when
in the act of boarding a boat for Lon
don was arrested and taken back to
Austria. At that time Silverberg was
married and his devoted wife effected
his release. Later he parted company
with her and appeared in Baltimore,
where he eloped with a prominent soci-
ETY. girl, whom he deserted ON the
honeymoon after having robbed her of
all the money she had.
In 1901, at the Waldorf Ho-
tel, he prevailed upon a wealthy widow
to marry him. Aided by her money he
made a tour of the world and it was
upon this trip that he met and duped
Lord Curzon. He represented himself
and the woman as -. Coleman Dray-
ton and wife," and in his honor there
were garden fetes, ending with a great
elephant hunt. Before leaving India
he deposited $4,000 worth of fraudu-
lent drafts.

FAVORITE is WELCOMED
His Jokes Are Funnier Than
of Old ''Uncle Toms

San Francisco's loyalty to her stage
favorites was demonstrated in prema-
ture applause for Barney Bernard last
night at the Orpheum. Ere a welcome
curtain had completely shut out a
paln-conveying effort on the part of
Mlstah Cole and Mistah Johnson to do
what neither inherent nor acquired
talent qualified them to do in a pleas
ing way, there was anticipatory pat
terlng or many hands, and when the
little Hebrew impersonator shuffled
into view great storm of greeting
burst and ragged for several minutes.
Inen, 10 an accompaniment or g1ggleS
that frequently developed into mirthful
fcars, he told stories and sang paro-
dies. His gags" were intrinsically
funny and cleverly narrated, and his
paraphrases of popular songs carried
the charm of local application. Per-
haps the best of his ditties was q wall
of regret that he had ever attempted to
introduce the Americanized Yiddisher
to an unappreciative Australian public
The tune, Back to Baltimore" was
admirably adapted to emphasize the
singers gratitude at finding himself
again on OFarrell street.
Josephine Sabel also scored heavily.
She is as 'gingery' as ever, with the
same facility for taking the audience
into her confidence and keeping it
there. A tall man billed as Hayes and

were not aided and abetted by a wealth

LEGALITY OF TRADING STAMPS
To be Tested by New York District Att

New York, Jan. 31.-The legality Of giving away trading stamps will be tested in a proceeding begun by the district attorney to-day at the instiga- tion of the Merchants association of New York. The action is based upon a section of the laws of 1904 and the first move was made when James Harte, a clerk employed by Daniel Reeves, the proprietor of several grocery stores in this city, was arrested on warrant is- sued by Justice olmstead. Harte is charged with giving away trading stamps with goods purchased at one of his employers stores. When the pris- oner was arraigned before Justice OIm- stead he was paroled in the custody of his counsel. It is said that several other arrests will be made on a similar f charge.

sTAY FOR MRS ROGERS.
Belief That She VIII Not Hang Friday
 workers for Reprieve.

' ' 5zi5
 Montpelier, Vt, Jan. 31.-That Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, the convicted slayer of her husband, Marcus Rogers will not pay the penalty of her crime by hanging next Friday afternoon, was fhe confident belief expressed tonight by the persons who for weeks have been endeavoring to have Governor Charles J. Bell grant the condemned woman a reprieve, inasmuch as Cover nor Bell tonight announced his will ingness to listen to new evidence in fhe case, and he will grant a hearing at the Pavilion hotel in this city to-mor- row. *.,.
 There are now three persons actively working for Mrs. Rogers reprieve and perhaps the most interesting feature in this connection is the attitude of High Sheriff Henry H. Peck, of Windsor county, upon whom falls the task of executing the woman. Sheriff Peck has been searching for new evidence in favor of Mrs. Rogers, and tonight he said that if this evidence fails in se- curing a reprieve for the condemned woman, he and his deputies will con- duct her execution under protest.
 While those who will attend the hear Ing tomorrow are Mrs. William J Blickensderfer of Stamford, Conn.,, and her counsel, J. Mccarthy of Hoosick Falls, N. Y.; Sheriff Peck and his at- torney, A. B. Flynn, of White River Junction, and T. w. Moloney, who will act for Mrs. Rogers.

SITUATION IN RUSSIA.
Partial Suppression of Disorder in Warsaw Claimed.


 The dispatches received last night from Russia are briefly summarized in the following statement of the sit- uation. R.
 There has been partial suppression of disorder at Warsaw, and traffic has been restored so far as to permit the arrival of some supplies of food. Mur- derous attacks on individual soldiers, however, are reported to be more ire quent. In other industrial centers, in- cluding Moscow and St. Petersburg, the strike is practically at an end. Grand Duke Vladimir, in the course of an interview with the Associated Press, intimated that the people of Russia would soon be given a measure of representative government, although he declared that anything like general suffrage was not to be considered The committee of ministers discussing the proposed reforms has published 8 re- port with the purpose of showing the people that the plans outlined in the imperial decree of December 26 are being carefully considered. An uncon- firmed report is in circulation that it has been officially ascertained that the discharge of grape from a saluting gun during the ceremony of the blessing of theSwaters on January 19, and which imperilled the lives of the emperor and members of his family, was deliber- ate act of the terrorists, their tool be- ing a private soldier of the saluting battery.
