DISCUSS PROBLEMS
OF IMMIGRATION :
To AMERICA
READY WITH
ELABORATE REPORT
Goes Out of the Beaten Path
to Shed New Light on One
of the Most Serious Ques-
tons Before the Nation.

Washington. Dec. 14-The imml-
by the last congress and which is
composed of some of the eminent men
of the country capable of making a
comprehensive study of this great
question. is now preparing its report.
The entertaining way in which the
members of this commission discuss
their Investigations indicate that their
report will go out Of the beaten path
way of routine consideration of a
proposition that has been worn
~threadbare by students of economic
problems, and that they will submit to
the congress information that will go
far towards the solution of the whole
VeXed immigration problem.
Verbally the members of the com
mission a reported to the president,
and that portion of their report re-
lating to their inquiries in Europe is
now being put into writing. The com
mission, however, may withhold its
report until il completes considera-
ton of the entire subject matter, 50
that congress may have the informal
ton it seeks as "A comprehensive and
intelligent review of the immigration
situation. There have been MAN. con-
%gressional inquiries into the question
Of immigration and its bearing upon
the economic and political affairs Of
the United States. but no inquiry thus
far made ppears to have been prose-
cuted quite so thoroughly and INTEL
ligently as by the present commission,
which consisted of a certain number
of senator's, members of the house and
well known citizens from private life.
In the first place. the commission
went to Europe, visited the countries
from which come the greatest number
Of immigrants and studied the emil
grant on his native soil. Contrary to
the general opinion, the commission
finds that ii is not the scum Of the
earth, the crook, the pauper and the
criminal classes that are entering the
country. What impels those sons of
Italy, Spain. Hungary, Austria and
Germany TO come to the United States
is the law of the belly" as one of
the commissioners expressed Il in re-
lating what the commission had dis
covered. They are not leaving their
native countries because Of religious
persecution or political affiliations, but
solely for the purpose of lettering
their condition; that they may get to
a country where they may earn more
money and better their physical and
mental condition. They have learned

have their tickets purchased through
to their destinations. They are en-
route to where friends or relatives
have preceded them. Ii has been DEM
onstrated that practically every imml-
grant who leaves his native land is
overcome with ''home-sickness' after
he has been here a couple of months
Among in this condition he
would be miserable. He is not much
better among his friends and rela-
tives. but after he has overcome this
almost uncomfortable desire 10 go
back to the fatherland, his old ambi-
ton takes possession again and he is
ready TO go where the best induce
ments are held out in the shape of re-
Enumeration for his labor. That is why
immigrants taken direct from New
York to the cotton mills of the south
on 90 agricultural communities where
none of their own kind live, will not
remain. The longing for a familiar
face and the sOund of a familiar
tongue is too overpowering for then.
to resist.
How Ia distribute his immigrant
labor is the great problem TO whicf,
the commission will next devote itself

action will be taken TO induce the i'm
migrants to accept offers In different
parts of the country and thus relieve
conditions In n large cities, and par
ticular efforts Will be put forth to aid
the agriculturists In this direction. AS
a rule the European immigrant classes
do not take kindly to agricultural pur-
suits. but on the Pacific coast the Jap
has forced practically everybody else
out of the truck gardening business.
Members of the commission were
somewhat surprised upon their return
10 this country to learn of a colony Of
Jewish armer near Vineland. n. j.,
and went down to visit them. The
Hebrew by nature is a merchant OF
some sort, and has never been identi-

tuition somewhat charitable in its

REAL PANIC MAKES
PRESENT FURRY
A TWO-SPOT
THE GREAT FINANCIAL
SCARES OF HISTORY
Last Previous Excitement Was
Silver Panic Of 1898, When
Conditions Were Not as
Sound as Now,
CRv Revere %Thompson.l

New York, Dec. 1.-THE recent
furry in Wall street and the New
York financial district-for now thai
is practically over we realize that it
did not reach the proportions of a
panic-recalls periods OF the past
when depositors became scared and
withdrew their funds from the banks
and trust companies: and in the light
of this history II Is plainly TO be seen
that the country escaped by no wide
margin a serious financial depression.
There is a very wide and very vital
distinction between a stock market
panic and a bank panic. There are
frequent outbreaks of excitement in
Wall street. but If the trouble does not
extend beyond the "stinging'' Of a few
stock gamblers, business doesn't suf-
fer. When the public, however, be-
gins to lose confidence in the banks
and withdraw its deposits, when il be-
gins TO hoard away its cash instead of
allowing il to circulate through the
arteries Of trade. then IL becomes time
for genuine concern.
The last occasion OF anything app
preaching the widely spread raids on
banks was in 1893, fourteen years ago,
known to financial history as the 'sil-
yer panic"
This trouble was really begun the
previous year In the action of the
mint of East India in closing ia the
unlimited coinage of silver. At the
time the United States government.
under a compulsory law. was coming
each month a large amount OF silver.
There WAS throughout the country a
great deal of agitation for the placing
OF silver on an exact par with gold.
The system then obtaining in this
country was distrusted abroad, espe-
cially in those countries which main
tanned the single standard Of gold. II
was feared. indeed, that the United
States was rapidly drifting to a silver
basis. This fear was expressed in the
withdrawal Of foreign loans. a strin-
gency resulted which could not be
overcome. a crisis was precipitated.
Money poured out of the country,
leaving far too little here on which to
do business. For what followed at
that time the banks themselves We're
too much TO blame. They increased
the stress by calling loans and re-
fusing to make others for the needs
Of The public began TO
fear for their OWL deposits and the
raids were begun. From the conse-
quences Of this disturbance the coun-
try did not recover for at least five
years. or until 1898. The serious side

In the winter of lS1S-19 there was
a panic which was attributed to The

pended on the first suspicion of runs
on them. sharply followed on the fol-
lowing day by the suspension OF AT

to restrain or limit to certain cuan- tity of provisions or drink
 From the above commonly accepted definitions of the word fee and the word 'allowance.' 1t is apparent that there Is decided distinction between the two terms fees and ,allowance and that such distinction is clearly made in the use of these terms in sec tion 4565 of the Code above named.
 Tt being thus clearly demonstrated that the increased amounts to be pss~ to the sheriffs under the recent Act of the Legislature are allowances and not fees they fall under a special ex- ception contaned in section 6S of the Constitution of Alabama. which is as follows:
 '' The Legislature shall have no power to grant---any extra conpen- sation, fee or allowance to any public officer, servant or employe, agent or contractor, after service shall have been rendered or contract made, nor to increase or decrease the fees and com pensation of such officers during their terms of office;-provided this section shall not apply to allowances made by Commissioners Courts or Board Of Revenue to county officers for ex-of- ficio services, nor prevent the Legisla- ture from increasing or diminishing at any time the allowance to Sheriffs or other officers. for feeding, trans rerring or guarding prisoners
 T am of opinion. therefore. that ssid Act is constitutional and valid.

On charge of disorderly conduct, as- sault and battery and carrying con- cealed weapons B. J. Hill. white col- Iector for a money lending establish ment of the city. was arrested yester- day morning at an early hour by Pl- cycle Policemen Patrick and Sprinkie, and fined yesterday afternoon by Act ing Recorder A. L. Tyson $99.
 The warrant charging the collector with assault and battery was sworn out yesterday morning by Leila Ander- son, a negress. who says that Hill came to her home early in the morning with the evident intention of collecting money. Failing to obtain this, 1t is all legged, irrttated Hill to such an extent that he attacked the negress. and she was. quite painfully beaten.
 When searched at police headquarters a pair of brass knuck4 was found on Hill, and the concealed weapon charge was accordingly preferred by the po- lice. The negress claims that Hill beat her with a pistol, though the weapon was not found on the collector when brought to the sergeant's desk
 For the disorderly conduct case Hfll was fined $15 and costs; in the assault and battery case, $25 and costs, and in the concealed weapon case, $50 and costs.

G0VERNORTORETURN
CONFER IS EXPECTED BACK THE FIRST OF THE WEEK.
Much Interest Taken i'm Question As To What Move He VIII Take In Pending Railroad
 CaneM.

A letter received yesterday by Pri- vate Secretary Fort indicates that Gov ernor B. B. Conner will be in the ex- ecutive suite Monday. after spending his vacation in New York and Atlan' tic City. The Governor stated that he would leave Atlantic City last night. and will stop over in Birming- ham until Sunday night or Monday morning.
 There are no matters of urgent im- portance for the Governors attention. Secretary Fort has been keeping right LID with all matters that do not de- mand the personal attention Of the Chief Executive, and as there are no special boards of which the Governor is a member to meet this month, he wtll have little but routine matters to look after.
 The Governors last expressed hope before leaving on his vacation, that all of the railroads which had not ac- ouiesced In the demands of the recent rate legislation would come in before he returned. will hardly be fulfilled. There is no indication that either the Louisville and Nashville. the South and North Alabama, the Centrel Of Geor- gja. or the Western of Alabama, will desert the stand they have taken.
 From now until October 1, those who have been watching the outcome Of this
 
 slatinu, will be on tenter hooks to know just what the Governor will do. He has declared that unless the roads arrange their tariff sheets for the as- sumption of the new rates by octoDef 1, that he will have every man who violates the law arrested and put In jail.
 Governor Conner has said he has the rights. under the law, to make arrests ofs railway employees who, sell tickets for more than the rate prescribed fn the recent Act, and also to arrest those who accept more than the prescrioeo amount for freight on the 11e commod> ities named in the Act.
 Judge Jones. of the Federal court, has assured delegations of railway. 'enl- ployes that they will be protected from arrest at the hands of State authorities. and here is where the case rests. Its final termination will be watched with interest.

INQUIRIES ON TAGS
NEW GTNNERs LAW AROUsEs MUCH
 INTEREST.
Enactenint Requires Label For Every Bale Of Cotton, With Penalties For Disobedience Or
 NeG1eet

Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson has been besfeged recently with inquiries concerning the recent legislation requiring ginners to keep complete record of all cotton ginned by theb, and to properly label or tag each bale with the name or initials of the owner.
 Any ginner failing to comply with the law will be punished as for a mis- demeanor. and county officers are being urged to see that the act is carried out. Commissioner Wilkinson states there are many reasons why this should be done, as 1t protects. the owners of cotton, 1t protects those who accept mortgages on crops, and also keeps a complete record for the information of the agricultural department
 The act in full is as follows:
 Section 1. That from and tfter the passage of this act, every person, firm or corporation who gins cotton for hire or toll in this State, shall keep book in which they shall register all cotton received at their gins to be ginned in the name of the owner thereof: if known, and if not known, then the ginner shall make due and diligent enquiry of the person who delivers said cotton to be ginned, and record in his book the name of the owner as given and the name of the person from whom the cotton may be received.
 Sec. 2. That every person, firm or corporation who gins cotton in this State for hire or toll shall mark or label each and every bale ginned by them with appropriate marks of iden- ti1cation or by the initial letters of the name of the owner as soon as ginned; and that every person, firm or corporation shall record in a book kept for that purpose, said marks or labels to be- kept. together with the name of the owner of said cotton, as known or ascertained, as defined by Section 1 of this act so that said cot ton can be identified; which said book shall be kept open for the inspection of the public.
 Sec 3. That any person, firm or corporation who violates any of the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $1O nor more than $1o0."

With the coming of cool weather and the ending of the vacation period the offices in the State House are being fll- ed again with the regular attaches in each department, and next month the States executive center will be a scene of considerable activity.
 The Pardon Board, the Supreme Court, the Railway Commission and the tax equalizers will all have plenty of work to do. And there is now talk of an extra session of the Legislature, which seems imminent Tn the face of the Governors declaration that he would call one if the railways persist ed in holding out against complying with the rate law. And if that extra session is called? There is talk of a State prohibition bill, of a bill re- qulring all corporations doing business tn this State to incorporate under the Charter of Alabama and hundreds of minor matters that failed to receive att tention at the July session.
