The voyage began last December. follow

half way around the world. For four days
after the typhoon the ship drifted her crew

CHICAGO. May 23.-War on jury dodgers
and the public officials who aid and abet
them has been declared by Cook county
officials.
Following an order issued by Sheriff Pease
yesterday that employees of his Office should
not aid citizens in escaping jury service, it
transpired that quiet investigation on the
part of several judges has been in progress
with view to graduating the evil.
Scandalous disclosures of the ease with
which influential citizens escape jury duty
year in and year out have been the result
of the inquiry 1t is the belief of the jurists
who have taken up the matter that the
entire system of jury service in Cook coun-

THE IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Bill Providing for Amendment Called
UP in the Senate

Mr.. Dillingham;, chairman OF the commit
tee on immigration. yesterday called up
in the Senate the bill amending the immi-
grafton laws
Presenting the merits of the measure, he
said 1t was intended to strengthen the law
of 1903, which is working admirably. He
did not accept some of the popular the
cries concerning immigration, but held TO
the belief that the influx of foreigners is
regulated by the labor market-that in duh
times the number Is small and in good times
large, as, for instance. 1,023 900 In 1905 as
compared with 10000 in 1898 He also
found encouragement in the fact that a
vast majority, over SO per cent, of the i'm
migrants are between the ages of fourteen
and forty-four years. or at the age when
persons are least liable to become public
charges. This fact he considered not only
reassuring to those who fear an influx of
paupers, but also an indication that those
who come to our shores come on their
own initiative.
Senator Latimer suggested the advisa bill
tty of a provision requiring the steamship
companies to deposit twice the amount OF
the passage of immigrants to pay the re-
turn passage of those rejected but SEN
ator Dillingham; did not believe such a
drastic measure necessary.
