SOUTH is IN MEsHEs
OF IMMIGRATION LAW
tBy William f. Curtis, Special Core
spondence Record -Herald)


WASHINGTON. = The department
OF Justice has been raiding the rail-
roads and the trusts, the timber
thieves and the land grabbers. anc
variety of other offenders againss the
statutes of the United States. and now
II has city and a state to punish
for violation OF the immigration laws.
Several very delicate questions a.e
involved, and the department is like
ly to act with great deliberatton in
the prosecutions for that reason. 1t
is not very violent in its moyemer's,
either. but Is trying to help the of
tenders out of their scrape as much
as II can without knocking the edges
off OF the law.
Down In North Carolina, in the en-
terprising City of Charlotte, the mel.i'
bers OF the Textile club and other mill
owners and planters who are suffer
ing for the want of labor got toge ,cr
about a year ago and decided % adopt
the recommendations of Mr. Sargent,
the commissioner of immigration, AMI
try to divert part of the great stream
OF strangers that are coming to seek
homes in the United States to their
section OF the country. They ap-
pointed committee, which, having
discovered that the state of North
Carolina has no bureau of immigra-
ton and no money appropriated TO
pay for advertising its opportunities
and advantages to immigrants, de-
cided to furnish the funds by private
subscription. The governor Of the
state approved of the project and com
missioned an Englishman named Cos
tello. a machinist working at Char
lotte. as commissioner OF immigra-
ton for the state of North Carolina,
with the understanding that the peo-
pie OF Charlotte would pay his salary
and expenses.
Costello went over to England. but
instead OF doing what was expected
of him in the way OF advertising for
immigrants, he adopted what he con
sidered better plan and offered TO
pay the passage and give a bonus OF
$25 In cash TO every person who
would come to Charlotte to settle,
He told all sorts of wild stories con
cerning wages and manner of living,
promised them everything, and
coached them as to what they should
say to the inspectors when they ar
rived In New York. A party OF
twenty-four arrived few weeks ago
and went down to Charlotte, where
they discovered that Costello had
misrepresented the labor situation
and had deceived them very genera
ly. They began to complain and some
OF them demanded indemnity, Costello
tried to keep them quiet. but they
| would have nothing further to dc
with him, and several left Charlotte
in the hope Of finding more lucrative
employment elsewhere.
| One of the girls came to Washing
ton, where she was picked up by thu
police and placed in the Fiorenc'
Crittenden Home. The immigration
bureau was notified and sent dowI
an official to hear her story. whicl
suggested an investigation OF the en-
tire matter. The inspectors who wen
to Charlotte found no difficulty Il
getting the facts. and upon their In
formation Commissioner Sargent son

MADE. OF ALL STEEL.
First All-Steel Passenger Car to Go
Into Service on the Southern
Railway.

The first all-steel passenger car
for railroad ever made III the Unit
ed States was shipped last week TO
Atlantic City, where it was exhibited
at the convention of the master car
builders. The car will be taken to
shington. where it will begin ac-
tive service immediately on the
Southern Railway The car is the
first OF an order OF three which was
placed by the Southern as an expert
ment. If these three prove to be sue
cessful the entire passenger equip
ment OF the Southern will be replaced
by steel cars. The Pressed Steel Car
Company now has an experimental
order for the Pennsylvania. The lat
ter road also expects to adopt steel
cars if it is decided that they are
practical.
The first steel car IS considered a
beauty by railroad men. 1t IS "a feet
8 inches IN length. GO feet inside
'ength. feet 10 inehes- wide and IA
feet inches high The ntHe. car. is
r ade of pressed steel, and what little
wood is used in the trimming is alb
solutely hreproof. Even the aoer OF
the car is. OF steel, SO it would be i'm
possible for the car TO take fire. Tire
new steel car possesses many sadvafl
tages. In addition to the impossible
ity to set it afire, it is also impossible
for the car to telescope during
wreck and it would be impossible for
the ends to be smashed in. If these
steel cars are adopted generally h
the railroads, as it seems probable
that tey viii be, the danger from
fTightful wrecks will be reduced to
minimum. The greatest disadvantage
Of the new cars is their weight. This
car weighs about IS per cent. more
than the ordinary wooden day coach.
It is expected, however. that the
weight can- be reduced about S per

FROM MIDWAY
AUXILIARY ARRIVED TO-
DAY FROM THE CABLE ISLAND
WITH MARINE GUARD.

The naval auxiliary Saturn arrived
at noon today from Midway after a
pleasant trip from that island The
vessel left Midway last Saturday.
Nothing of special interest occurred
during the trip. She brought to Homo
lulu twenty-one passengers, eighteen
marines Second Lieutenant e. L. Big
Ter, the commander of the marine
guard, DR.. f. w. Tyree, .U.S.N., Oper-
.ator Butler and Engineer Whaley of
the cable staff. The marines comprised
the guard that has been on duty at
Midway for the last ten months. They
were relieved by the recent guard Of
twenty men who were taken out to
Midway by the Saturn.
The Saturn arrived at Midway from
Honolulu on January and remained
until Sunday. She was unable to cross
the bar as she was drawing too much
water Captain Newell had much
trouble landing stores as there was a
heavy swell running. Twenty tons of
stores were finally landed, however.
Nobody from shore went out to the
vessel which was compelled to lie
about 3 miles off shore.
In addltlon to the marine guard, Mr..
Butler a cable operator and Mr.. Wha-
ley, an engineer of the cable company,
returned from service at Midway.
Lieutenant Bigler is to remain on duty
at the local station, probably succeed
ing First Lieutenant Harlee who is to
go East shortly for his promotion. Con-
ditions at Midway are said to be about
the same. There is nothing growing
on Sand Island except a few magnolia
trees. Everybody was we'll

THE TOP MINNOWS
AND THEIR WORK
CAPTAIN PAUL SMITH HAS A
SMALL AQUARIUM OF THEM AT
THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

Captain Paul Smith, the Terror Of
the Mosquito" is happy at last. He
has a miniature aquarium i'm which to
house" so to speak, a respectable as
semblage Of his pets the top-minnows
so that all may see and admire.
Hitherto he has had a few dozen OF
them at the Board of Health in
broken carboy but the constant chang
ing of the water has prevented breed
ing, in the new aquarium he will be
able to draw off the water gently and
not disturb the fish.
II want these up here for samples to
show people what the little fellows will
do, he said this morning. I'VE are
breeding the fish very rapidly in five
ponds at Moanalua and are now i'm a
position to distribute them to other
islands. This will be continued as
fast as possible. Next week we hope
to be able to make a shipment of about
500 to Hilo for distribution there. How
many have we now? Well that is
impossible to say. The first lot were
put. into the Moanalua ponds before I
took charge of the work but o. Under
stand that about $50 were pu, in the
five ponds. Now there must be all of
ten thousand of them, and that is only
a rough guess but the ponds are alive.
THE little fish live on vegetable mat
ter when they cannot get the moquito
wrigglers but they will desert vege-
table food just as soon as any wrig-
glers appear and then it's all off with
the wrigglers. They will even attack
a mosquito who ventures on the sur
face of the water and swallow her in
no time. Anything in the mosquito
| line comes to a top-minnow like duck
does to a man who is used to boarding
house steak.
There were more of the fish placed
| i'm the Pakioani park ponds and at Ha-
! leiwa. These are outside of my juris-
diction but l understand that they are
doing very well indeed. Do 1 think
that there is any appreciable result
to the importation of the fish? Wen,
that seems to answer itself There
are 600 to 700 eggs in every egg raft
a mosquito lays and the numbers of
these destroyed by the fish, with the
progeny they would have produced had
they not been detroyed, must be in
calculable But of course we are only
in the experimental stage now as we
are breeding the top-minnows for dis
tribution at present. When they get
thoroughly established 1 think you will
see a marked diminution i'm the num-
Der of mosquitoes here in Hawaii"

WILD-EYED LETTER
WHEREIN HE SAID THAT THE
BRITISH FLEET STOOD READY
TO SINK THE RUSSIAN.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 3.-The
remarkable allegation that the British
fleet was held in readiness to destroy
the Russian fleet if the battle of the
Sea of Japan had gone in the Rus
SLAMS favor is made by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky in his letter published in the
Novoe Vremya today, with the per-
mission of the Minister of Marine.
Referring to the absolute secrecy of
Admiral Togo in regard to the dispo-
sition of his forces, Rojestvensky de-
clares that this was unknown even to
the Admiral of the British tleet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated
his forces at Wai-Hai-Wei in eXpecta-
ton of receiving an order to annihilate
the Russian fleet if this, the final OBJ
ject of Great Britain was beyond the
power of Japan"
From Admiral Rojestvenskys ac-
count of his tactics in the battle of the
Sea of Japan published in the Novoe
Vrernya, the reader is almost con-
WINGED that the Russian commander
outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every
point and was himself the real victor
He declares he knew Admiral Togo's
exact whereabouts two days before
the battle made his dispositions ac-
cordingly and entered the fight with
his eyes open. The Admiral only
casually states in the course of his
letter that the Minister of Marine is
investigating the causes of the catas-
trophe in order to determine whether
the commander will be court-mar-
tailed for the loss of the fleet.
The charge that the British Admiral
concentrated his ships at Wei-Hai-
Wei, expecting to receive an order to
destroy the Russians in the event of
Admiral Togo proving unequal to the
task, has caused a sensation in diplo-
matte circles, all the more so as Ad-
miral Rojestvenskys letter was pub
lished with the permission of the Min
lister of Marine.
LONDON, January 3.-The st. Pc
tersburg correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says that he has had
conversation with Count White, in
which the Premier stated that the
Emperor and his Ministers alike were
astonished at Admiral Rojestvenskys
allegation that the British Admiral
had laid his ships at Wei-Hai-Wei
waiting an order to destroy the Rus
sian fleet in event that Admiral Togo
was defeated in the battle of the Sea
of Japan. Count Witte said he was
taking measures to clear up the mat
ter, but, he added, it was self-evident
that no level headed man in Russia
would attach Importance to the ale
cation which the Minister of Marine
he said, had not noticed until it ap-
peared in print.
The Times st. Petersburg CORE
spondent says that Great Britain has
been dragged in to help to absolve
Rojestvensky and to prepare public
opinion for his impe nding acquittal
and rehabilitation, which are consid-
cred indispensable for the sake of the
reputation of the Russian navy.
