1T Will HELP SOUTH
Provisions of New immigration
Measure
NEW ORLEANS GETS AN OFFICIAL
Senator Gallinger's Proviso, Authoriz-
ing the Maintenance of Agencies at
Immigration Stations by States and
Corporations Interested Tackled on
to the Measure.

Washington, Special.-A bill of un-
usual interest to the South was the
immigration act passed by the Senate
on Wednesday.
The bill consists of a series of
amendments to the existing law, all
of them intended TO permit stricter
regulations for keeping out the defec-
tive classes of aliens. The head tax
is,increased from So to S.. The ques-:
ton of sectionalism cropped out dur
ing discussion OH the amendment
authorizing the creation of bureau
Of information for the benefit OF i'm
migrants. On this point Senator Nc
Creary said that especial effort should
be made to secure a better distribu-
ton of immigrants than is obtained
under the present system. Now, he
said, most Of the new comers locate
in the eastern States and large cities,
where they are not needed, whereas
the South, where immigration is de-
sired, is almost entirely overlooked.
In support of his contention he said
that 2S5,O0O aliens located in New
York last year, and only 600 sought
homes in Kentucky. He also called
attention to the fact that the South is
not represented in the immigration
service and criticised the arrange
noent &C cnctinnal;cn
Senator Spooner defended the pres
ent immigration service against the
charge of sectionalism and said the
commissioner of immigration was in
no sense an agent for the States.
Senator Bacon said the provision
permitting State representation at the
stations should be SO extended as to
permit immigration societies to be
represented, his object being to af-
ford railroads an opportunity to
present the advantages Of the country
penetrated by them.
After further debate, an amend
mept offered by Mr.. Gallinger was
modified and adopted. AS agreed to
it authorizes the creation Of division

$4,000 and authorizes States and
Territories and corporations interest.
ed in immigration to maintain
agencies at the immigration stations.
A suggestion by Senator McCreary
authorizing the appointment of a
commissioner of immigration at New
Orleans was agreed to.

Most Powerful Microscope.


Drs. Zeigmondy and Siedentopf OF
Jena, Germany, have devised an "ul-
trarmierescope" by the aid OF which
particles of matter entirely undis-
tinsuishable by ordinary microscopes
of the highest power are brought to
light. The principle acted on Is the
same as that witnessed in the notes
of dust seen floating in sunbeam,
which notes are in themselves In.
anately small but which are made
visible by their Interruption OF the
light. With the new microscope partt-
cles of gold only IL, $50, 900, ,o0Oth Of an
inch in size wore distinguished. Gold
is used for giving the red color to
ruby glass, and under this wonderful
instrument the particles OF gold were
resolved into separate grains of about
that size, whereas under other micro
scopes the gold simply appears as 8
uniform coating.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
Los Angeles Has Not Suffered From
Recent Earthquake.

A number Of exaggerated and mis-
leading reports in regard to the effect
upon Los Angeles of the recent San
Francisco earthquake having been
widely published throughout the East
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merec, by unanimous vote of the
board of dircctorc, has prepared for
circulation the following brief state
ment of facts:
The damage done by earthquake in
San Francisco, outside of the loss Of
life, did not exceed five per celit of
the total damage done by fire and
earthquake. Los Angeles is 500 miles
from San Francisco, a distance equal
to that from Charleston, S. c., TO
Washington, D. c.
Since the founding Of Los Angeles
by the Franciscan fathers, on Sept.
4th, 1771, up to the present date,
there has never been any injurs what
ever done to life or property by an
earthquake shock in or near the city.
Biologists say that the rock foun-
datlon underlying the city of Los
Angeles is Of such nature that it
is as safe from danger of earthquake
as any locality in the United States.
From the earliest recorded history
Of California, down to the date of
the San Francisco earthquake, the en-
tire number of lives lost by earth
quake shocks, within the confines of
the state, have not aggregated over
100, if so much, or less loss of life
than has frequently been caused by
single cyclone or tornado.
Business i'll Los Angeles IS booming,
the manufacturers and wholesale mer-
chants being over-taxed to supply the
extraordinary demands made upon
them for supplies. Los Angeles being
for the time the leading city Of the
Pacific Coast.
Real estate values in Los Angeles
have not suffered at all from the San
Francisco calamity. On the contrary,
prices Of industrial property have
Shown q tendency to increase, owing
to the large number of firms that are
contemplating establishing themselves
here. some temporarily. others perma-

] MUST VI App. ; ! 10 XPORTS
Jurisdiction Of the Government in Ex-
port Freight Rates is Upheld by
Federal Judge Mcpherson at Kan
sas City in Decision overruling De-
murrer of the Burlington Railway.

Kansas City, Mo-, Special.-The de-
murrer Of the Burlington Railway,
denying the jurisdiction of the gov.
ernment in export freight rates, was
overruled in the United States Court
here by Judge Smith MCPHERSON, Of
Iowa. The decision is of great i'm
portanee to shipning interests of all
sections of the country and of particu-
lar weight at present because it tends
to destroy lie contention Of the rail
ways that export rates need not be
made public.
1t means, too, that the Burlington
Railway and the other railroad cor
porations and persons indicted here
in December must stand trial on the
charge of accepting rebates. The trial
Of the Burlington was set for May
81.
Attention was drawn to the report
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion, December Id, 1905, in which it
was said that 'sit was a mooted ques-
tion whether the present act requires
carriers to file and maintain tariffs
under which they transport exports
and imports, but the commission has
number of times decided that the
statutes covered this point. -
"The same section," the decision
says, "finds the same kind of com
merce included by the act, and in-
cludef from the United States to a
foreign country The fact that half
a billion of dollars worth of ex-
ports are shipped from the United
States is a powerful argument in fa-
vor Of the proposition that they should
net be hampered with rate tariffs
difficult or impossible to observe be-
cause ocean rates vary from day to
day. But is that an argument that
can. persuade the courts upon the
question of what construction shall
be given statute if such statute is
valid9"
The statute, Judge Mcpherson says,
forbids lowering the rates except on
three days notice, and forbids rails
ing them except ON 10 days notice.
It is clear, he continues, sn1that car
riers by railways and water inland,
when acting under common agree
ment, are covered by the statutes, as
well as commerce by any method
with an adjacent foreign country.
And as to interstate comerce, it is
included. Because these are specif-
cally enumerated, ii is contended that
all others are excluded. Conceding
the force Of this elementary and rec
orgnized rule Of construction, there,
in my opinion, is the error of the
entire argument of defendants coun-
sci. Congress did not enumerate ocean
commerce, because it would have been
frivolous to do 500
