WON BY LOCAL TEAM
DEBATE OF GEORGE WAsHING-
TON AND SYRACUSE.

The debating team of George Washington
University triumphed over the young men
representing the Syracuse University In the
forensic contest yesterday afternoon at
Continental Memorial Hall. The question
discussed affirmed that there should be more
restriction Of European immigration to the
United States. Messrs. David Baer, John T.
Kennedy and Edward P. Gates. with James
w. Berry. alternate. formed the local team,
while Messrs. Erwin G. Nichols. James A.
Perry and William T. Wennett spoke for
Syracuse.
The George Washington men had the af-
hrmative. The judges we're Rev. Father
Dennis OConnell, rector Of the Catholic
University; Prof. Karl Kelsey Of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania and DR.. George H.
Shibley director Of the bureau OF economic
research.
Mr.. Baer was the first speaker and as he
arose to address the assemblage a number
Of George Washington men behind the
scenes gave the college yell. Mr.. Baer con-
tended that immigration should be restrict
ed for the reason that disease and crime
creeps into this country with every incom-
Ing cargo of immigrants. no matter how
yigilant the inspectors at Ellis Island may
be.
Dominated by Alien Race.
The speaker added that the horde arriv-
eastern Europe is appalling. and that be-
fore very long time has elapsed the Amer
lean people will be face to face with the
problem Of being dominated in their cleo
tons by an alien race. He pointed to the
fact that the greater part Of the immigrants
OF today, upon their arrival, Immediately
huddle together in communities Of their own
nationalities In the great cities and rarely
become Incorporated into the national life
such as is generally expected that they will.
Mr.. Erwin Nichols of Syracuse was the
next speaker. He argued that immigration
to this country Is a godsend. and pointed
out good done by recent emigrant parties
of Europeans to this country, and particu-
larry those to the south country, where,
the speaker declared, 1t has been found that
Italians are particularly adapted for work
ing on plantations where the labor Is very
scarce. Mr. Kennedy spoke next for George
Washington, and was followed by Messrs.
Perry, Gates and Wennett. At the close the
judges announced their decision by secret
ballot.

charges which have been made that the
prosecutors are Influenced by political
motives ana openly charge that some
of the NEST powerful financial inter
ests of the country have been brought

Heney declares that the greatest criS-
is in The graft exposure is now ut hand
ana that the greatest crisis in the his
tory of san Francisco goes side by side
with il. i meeting was held 4 short

the real motives behind the inVcStiga

Admitting that the 1G confessed
bride takers on the board Of supcTViS
ors have been promised immunity from

step was essential to the carrying out
Of the work at hand. He stated that
every effort To gain legal proof of cor

the confessions We're secured from the
supervisors. and that to secure these.
the promise OF immunity was given In
answer to the Cry which he said had
been raised by the capitalists in This

came forward to their assistance, but
that as soon as they became involved,

In the sea Of Okhotsk the salmon are
suicidal and one Of the most startling
examples of the spendthrift side of ma
ture may be found in the rivers that
run into this sea. When six years old
the salmon begin a voyage of death.
Ascending the river Of their infancy
they race in countless thousands up
stream until lack of food and lack of
elbow room kill them off. A recent
traveller declares that, however many
millions Of salmon may run up the
river, not one ever reaches the sea
again alive. What becomes OF the
rivers Of dead salmon? The seagulls
wheel down upon the scene and feast
upon their eyes, scorning anything less
