American institutions are endangered by
the continued immigration OF undesira-
bic foreigners, in the opinion of Judge
Henry Stockbudge, Of Baltimore. who ad-
dressed the Sons OF the American Revo-
luton at RauscEer's last night
The attitude and policy of the daily
newspapers, and the activities Of the
muckrakers. were also declared to be a
constantly growing menace to the public
welfare. by the speaker, who took an ex-
ceedingly alarmist view of the existing
conditions, upon which he touched in his
address

their activities deserve. We cannot com
plain if others, who do not belong to our

do not seem TO reach the public eye and
ear. We are not organized to erect mon
uments and buildings, and to put up

danger Of Chinese ancestor worship creep

Judge Stockbridge admonished the
members that there was lots of work 10
be done in the Capital City. He said that
the Sons should be forceful characters IN
American public life. and should make
for the best that is in American citizen

the judge. 'Is no longer what it used TO

From Annapolis to Philadelphia the sun
Is stu hidden, and the weather is very
murky.
Since Sunday bay traffic has been prac-
tCally at a standstill, although a few
venturesome shippers have been able to
make their ports. The Potomac. due in
Baltimore to-day. was held I'D in the
RappahannOck River, and all others are
reported at anchor. Upper Potomac River
shipping was tied up only for a short
time Tuesday evening and yesterday
