the state. It is worse than folly for
the state to establish a Bureau of I'M
migration unless Ii is we'll supported
by a liberal appropriation and placed
under good business management. To
establish a Bureau of Immigration
with simply paid officials and no ia
cilities for advertising is a waste Of
money.
The opinion prevails in many sec
lions of the north and west that set
tiers from that section do not receive
a hearty welcome in the south: that
religious and political creeds are made
the test of citizenship. The cause
which brought about these impress
ions are too long to be discussed here.
The intermingiing of the people from
The two sections is rapidly removing
these prejudices and the we'll informed
person living north or west no long
er e~ntertains these views. Let us see
20 1t that the uniformed are convinced
hat all men are equal before the law
and that men are cvalued for their real
characters as much or more in the
south as in any other section of the
world.
Wages have steadily advanced for
the past five years and the demand for
intelligent, competent labor is almost
unlimited, and these people who have
made their homes among us have been
successful in the avocations when
they have chosen as in any other sec
ton of the country.
In advertising the Of the
state great care should be used and on
ly reliable information given. The re-
sources and climate Of the state are so
varied that with proper care immi-
grants can and should be placed in the
section of the state that will be most
suitable to them and where the chances
for success are greatest. If the state
will properly equip a Bureau of I'm
migration and the banking business
interests of the state will supplment
1t along the lines indicated, thousands
of good, sturdy citizens can be at
tracted to the state, and when the i'm
migration question assumes this form
the banks of the state a we'll affard
to encourage it in every reasonable
way.

keane a Bank RObber. Confidence
Man. Inventor and Author.

John J. Keane, the k%idnapper Of lit
tie Charles Frederick Muth, who was
arrested yesterday at the point of a
pistol, has had a varied career. His
history records him as:
k1dnapper.
Bank rObber.
EmbeZZler.
Petty thief.
Wife deserter.
, Confidence man.
Probably burglar.
This is one side of the character Of
Keane, who at last faces life impris-
Onment. The other side of his charac-
ter is recorded as:
Inventor.
Author.
Studied for priesthood.
Fin mathematician.
Chemist.
The AZ years of his life have been
crowded with exciting episodes. He
closed his career in New York By
stealing 500, 900 from the Harlem bank
in 1894. He has since lived here q
life of mystery even to his family, &C
| cording to their story, and his capture
brings to an end the public life Of a
man described by the police as "most
dangerous"
Keane has stolen one fortune, made
,, one fortune and lost both upon the
race track and in the offices of stock
brokers. His desperate curse in cap
turing the Muth boy was to prevent
his arrest for embezzling 1920, and, the
police say, to provide funds for a wo-
man with whom he was intimate.
! Keane m from an excellent New
York family. His parents and n
brother Eugene, live at 967 Park ave
nue., New York. His father recently
died Of apOplexy, and his mother IS a
sufferer from heart trouble.
Two other brothers, Edward and
Thomas, are in the real state Ousi
ness in New York. and a fourth broth
er, William, is to be ordained a priest
at Woodstock, Md. on June Is. Thu
| kidnapper was the black sheep Of the
family.
At the early stage Of his career he
gave no evidence of the evil tenden-
cies which afterward ruled him. He
began life as a student in a Catholic
institution in New York, and studied
for the priesthood. Then the craze TO
make money came to him, and he en-
tered the Office of a real estate broker.
He was unusually quick at figures and
went ahead rapidly. In connection
with the real estate business he be-
came an inventor, securing a patent
for a sanitary lavatory.
To promote this he organized a
stock company and finally sold out his
interest, after having made about 800
900. Meanwhile he had become con
nected with the Harlem bank. He be-
gan specializing in the stock marlet
and quickly lost all his money. As
his diminished he married a
Miss Geroux. With the evident inten-
ton of trying to begin life anew, he
stole $40, 900 from the bank where he
was employed. The bank officials made
every effort TO prevent this crime from
becoming public at the time, but they
have never ceased to prosecute a
search for keane.
The momen he was arrested il
Philadelphia the police received a dis
patch from Inspector Mclaughlin, OF
New York, asking if Keane was the
young man who had robbed the bank
He went to Philadelphia Il years ago
taking a house on North Gratz street
in the neighborhood where the Mu-hs
live. It was this knowledge OF the
ne~ighborhood and the people there
which determined him TO kidnap a boy

he figures showing the increase in val
ues in the other counties, but I am
satisfied they are as great if not great
er han the figures given.
This great increase has been largely
due 20 the importation Of new blood
and the introduction Of new ideas. No
! higher class of citizenship can be found
in any state in, the Union. There has
been no friction on count of any
political or religious creeds. The ma
tive has been benefited alike with the

confidently expect 20 be a part of
the community in which he settled as
much as though he were a native born.

De casteIlane Divorces.

An urgent writ was Thursday
served upon Count Bon de Castellane
making him defendant in the separa-
ton proceedings of his wife, formerly
Anna Gould. This decisive step was
taken after renewed efforts to effect a
reconciliation had proved fruitless.
The count accepted service OF the writ,
even calling upon the countess lawyers
to facilitate fixing upon a place where
the writ could be delivered
The bill of complaint was filed at
the same time 1t follows very closely
the countess prima facie showing,
when she first asked the courts per-
mission TO take action against her
husband. Ii mentions no names, but
particularizes certain incidents in
which the count is alleged TO have par
ticipated, and ii asks for a decree for
what the French law terms "separa-
ton of body and property" meaning
complete material separation without
a dissolution OF the bonds of matri-
mony.
The court holds the bill OF complaint
in the strictest secrecy, but the fore.
going are essential features OF It's con-
tents. 1t can be stated with absolute
positiyeness now that the countess has
finally inaugurated her action that il
is her intention to secure decree at
the earliest date possible. The count
will not contest the granting of
decree.

The Oleo Trade.

Two hundred thousand pounds of
white oleo at 10 cents a pound has
been shipped into Detroit every MONTH
colored in violation of The law, and
sold there in the state and in neigh
boring states as pure creamery butter
at 20 cents a pound. Uncle Sam loses
over $4,000 a month in revenue by
this evasion OF the law.
Several internal revenue inspectors
from Cincinnati have been in Detroit
for the past five weeks investigating,
resulting in a general raid on dealers
which will be followed by arrests. Tons
Of white oleomargarine was found in
residences where ii was to be colored
for the market, The penalty for viola
ton OF the statute is a fine OF from
81 900 to $4,000.
They found that this colored stuff
called butter had crept all over the
city. They traced big shipments from
Detroit out into nearly every city and
village in the state, 10 Ohio and Penn
sylvania cities and towns. They found
that the alleged creamery butter was
being used universally throughout the
city. In one OF the prominent hotels
Inspector Slusser took samples of the
butter" being used and found by
ANALYSIS that it was nothing but the
colored cleo.
