A Strange Condition.

The constantly increasing trade of
the country appears to make it impos-
sible, even for big institution like the
Interstate schools to supply the de-
mand on them for Bookkeepers, Stenog-
raphers, etc. Thse schools being SO
well known in the commercial world are
besieged from all sides for clerical help
and cannot begin to meet the demand.
1t is surprising that there are not more
OF our young people to take up this line
Of work and prepare themselves for
good paying positions in the CONNER
cial field, particularly when this kind
of training can be secured easily, al
most at their own door. Every young
person should aim to be independent
and self supporting as there is no tel
ling what the future may have in store
for any of them. We hope every young
man and woman who chances to read
this will take our, advice, this time any
way, and prepare to enter the big New
Hampton Business School, Monday,
October 2lst.

profession of veterinary science, while
the bride he has won is in every way
qualified to make him true wife and
helpmeet. A host of friends wish them
a bright and prosperous future and
extend their heartiest congratulations.

Holds STATE Cannot
IMPORT lHNICRANTS.
IMPORTANT OPINION BY BONA.
PARTE INVOLVING SOUTH.
ERN LABOR QUESTION.
LAW THE SAME AS
WITH INDIVIDUAL
Says Louisiana Violated National
Statutes in Bringing Alien from
Cuba Under Promise of Employ
ment-To Be Carried to Courts.

Washington, Oct. S.-Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte has rendered an opin-
ion in an Important case involving
the right of state to solicit immigra-
ton from a foreign country He
holds that in the case submitted him,
the state violated the immigration
laws in paying the passage money of
the immigrant, and that, in this re-
spect, the state does not differ, in
law, from an individual.
Brought Laborer from Cuba.
The case in point has been pending
before the department of commerce
and labor since August 5. On that
date Geronimo Garcia arrived at New
Orleans from Cuba. By the special
board of inquiry at the former place
he was denied admission to the United
States. The investigation developed
the facts that his passage money had
been paid by Reginald Dykers, an
agent of the Louisiana state board Of
agriculture and immigration, out Of
funds regularly appropriated by the
state legislature.
He was given assurance that en-
ployment as farm laborer would be
secured for him, and he promised to
return to the state the money av-
vanced to him to pay his passage from
Havana to New Orleans. No employer
was selected for him, but he was left
free to work for whom he pleased
Case Brought to Test Law.
The case was brought by the state
of Louisiana to test the immigration
law. Several other southern states
were interested in the matter because
they had been engaged in soliciting
immigration to points within their bor-
ders. The case was referred to the de-
partment of commerce and labor, on
appeal, and Secretary Straus submit
ted the facts to Attorney General
Bonaparte for an opinion.
The attorney general has rendered
IN opinion in which he says:
No Exception in States Case. :
The assurances given to Garcia by
the state agents constitute, in my opin-
ion, promises of employment within
the inhibition of the statute. While it
is provided that aliens coming to this
country in consequence of advertise
ments by state of its inducements
to immigration shall not be treated
as coming under promise of employ
ment, there is no exception in savor
of state in reference to specific
promises of employment to Individual
immigrants such as were held out to
Garcia by the representatives of the
State board"
The attorney general holds therefore
that "On account of assurances of en-
ployment that were given to Garcia
as an inducement to his immigration
he should be excluded from adnis-
sion"
viii Be Carried Into. Court.
It is expected that the state of Louis.
lana will carry the case into the courts
in order to obtain judicial determin-
alton of the question which means
much, in the view of the authorities,
to all of the states of the south.

H0NOURAAS TAKE ACAJu7LA
sALvApoREAN PORT is CAP.
TURED BY A LAND FORCE.
News Of tho Battle. Which Took Place
In September Is Declared False
In Washington.

San Francisco, Oct. 9.-The Pacific
steamer San Jose, from Panama and
way stations, arriving in this port
Monday morning, brought word of the
capture of the Port OF Acajutla in
the latter part of September by the
Honduran land forces after battle
with the army of Salvador.
The attack upon Acajutla is said
to have been we'll planned and to have
taken place during the absence of the
United States gunboat Yorktown, which
was to have looked after American
interests on the southern coast. Both
the Yorktown, which was proceeding
north, and the Chicago, were at Aca-
pulco at the time of the capture of
the Port Of Acajutla, and at the de-
parture of the San Jose for San Fran
cisco the full details of the battle had
not been received.
At Corinto the San Jose's manifest
was examined by Nicaraguan govern
ment officials and her hold searched
for ammunition, after which she was
allowed to proceed.
Washington, Oct. assistant Sec
rotary of State Adee Monday night
characterized as IAN absurd canard'
the report from San Francisco that
Honduran land forces had captured
the Port of Acajutla in the latter part
of September after a battle with the
army of Salvador. Mr.. Adee said that
Honduras and Salvador are on friend
ly terms and that no suggestion of
trouble had reached the state depart
ment here, although the Washington
government is in almost constant
communication with the Central Amer.
lean powers concerned.
Minister Ugarte, OF Honduras, said
that he had had cable dispatches from
his government Saturday in regard
to the coming peace conference to be
held here by representatives of the
Central American republics and that
no mention was made Of any difficulty
at Acajutla. The ministers from
Guatemala and Salvador are likewise
without advices in any sense confrma
tory of the reports from San Fran,
cisco.
