Secretary Root Makes C0mpaT-
 ison on Immigration
ROME'S DOWNFALL RECALLED
Interview Is Given To Vienna News paper In Which Secretary Root Speaks of the Dangers of
 Immigration.

New York. March 14-(Special. )-Dis Zeit, newspaper of Vienna, contains in its number of March 1, received in New York today, a remarkable interview by its Washington correspondent with Secretary Root.
 The Secretary of State went over the whole immigration question, and in the course of his remarks likened part of the aliens now pouring into the United States -Bohemians. Jews, Roumanians, Poles, etc., to the invasion of "barbarians into the Roman Empire"
 At the conclusion of the interview the secretary confessed that he had no rem edy to suggest.
 The interview is as follows:
 Secretary Root-With regard to the im- migration problem, the United States is TOW in the position of the Roman Elm pire invaded by the barbarians who over ran 1t in search of riches.
 The barbarians-Dacians Avarins, etc. were miserably poor, and the rich coun- tries of the Roman Empire irresistibly attracted them.
 "The same people-I mean people from the same countries-Croatians Bohemians Jews and uncultured South Italians-are overrunning the United States now. And as in the olden days, they bring their wives and children, settle down in our midst, pushing and crowding us, and begin life anew, as if they were in a conquered country"
 The correspondent-But the United Cfota ton?
 Secretary Root-Agreed; but circum- stances absolutely require that irnmi- grants assimilate with ouranation. This needed assimilation was quick and easy as long as the immigrants intellect and education was equal to our own-that is during the period when the great masses of future citizens landing at our shnres were Irish, German, French, pritlsh ana Scandinavians. They came In goodly num- bers and were welcome, but never reached present day figures, million or more per annum. Id of this million, 75o0O0 are East Eur peans, people whom Europe itself rega ds as only half civilized.
 q was thinking in particular of the Japs whj n l likened present day immi- grafton Conditions to America, to those in the Roman Empire at certain period. The Jap immigration into the United
 
 race, ready to decamp after securing the coveted loot.
 It's the same with respect to certain grade of Italians-the uncivilized southern Italians in particular. But Italy, even less than Japan, will not allow r to dic- tate whether or not her subjf ,ts come here. And while 1t is clearly Impossible from the standpoint of international poli- tics to prevent immigration altogether, such A. measure WOuld not meet with the approval of the American people either. Americans insist that this is the country of liberty, offering an asylum Co every honest man."
 The correspondent-In your opinion Mir. Root, do you think that the immigration question will become a matter of politics sooner or later?
 Secretary Root-I only know that 1t IS discussed in public with increasing in- terese and that 1t is factor to be recl1- ored with in our relations with all for eign countries"

 TRIES TO KILL ANOTHER

sin. under the courts order, said this afternoon:
 ''I was not in tho least surprised when heard this morning that Alia had at tempted to murder guard at the coun- ty jail in an attempt to escape.
 ''l have always regarded the prisoner as a dangerous man and even while defended him, l had no belief that he was insane. have always regarded him as a desperate and sane man, who would not stop at anything to carry out his ideas"
 Mlchaelo Brunetti, who is suspected of having left the razor where it was found by Alia when interviewed this afternoon denied positively that he had done so or that he had any knowledge as to how Alia obtained the weapon Sheriff Nisbet and the police, however. are convinced by this incident that the murderer of the priest has accomplices or confederates who are determined to save his life if possible. and that they belong to an or ganization.

THE LITTLE SOY THAT DIED.
Pathetic Memories in Small seg

The two men had not met for years. The man from out of town looked the other man over.
 Same old Jim be said. "Awfully glad to see you again. Strange how such old friends will drift apart. So you're married?"
 The other man nodded
 Three years ago."
 Well, well. And I never heard of 1t until I met Jack Ransim last week. Whats that?"
 He was still studying the other mans appearance and his eye caught sight of a segment of coral that dan gled from his friends watch fob. He lifted it and looked at it more closely. The surface of the coral was rough ened by slight intentions.
 Some sort of token, chr he rattled on. You always was a great chap for picking up worthless trihes. That's a queer charm" He looked up and caught sight of the other mans face Why, beg your pardon, Jim." he cried.

Some use. of t.ot Water.

Hot water is far more of a medicinal property than many believe or know The uses of hot water are many There is nothing that so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, gore throat or rheumatism as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly. Headache almost always yields to the simultaneous application Of hot water to the feet and back of the neck. A strip of flannel or napkin folded lengthwise and dipped in hot water. wrung out and then applied round the neck of child that has the croup, will bring relief sometimes ip ten minutes. Hot water taken freely half an hour before bedtime is help ful in the case of constipation, while it has a most soothing effect upon the stomach and bowels. A goblet of hot water taken just after rising, before breakfast, has cured many of indiges- ton. and is widely recommended by physicians to dyspeptics.

DOUBLE BLESSING FOR NICKEL
Mir. olImby Satisfied with Return on
 Small investment.

q confess" said Mir. Glimby. that I never can tell whether a beggar is what you call worthy or not. I am likely to give, because don't like to take even a chance of missing some body that is really hungry. It is not exactly a comic situation for one to be in. being hungry.
 50, when a rather stockily built man, with clothes originally not ex- pensive, and with pretty wholesome sort of conntenance, ranged along side of me the other afternoon, and started on with God bless you I was inclined to listen, and when he went on to say that he was hungry and would I give him something to get to eat. I gave him nickel; which wouldn't get him much in a lobster palace, but would get him considerable food in some places that he and knew further down town.
 And he didn't look at this coin the instant I gave it to him, to throw off the mask. when he had got the money. In fact, he didn't look at it at all, and that impressed me fayorably; he simply closed his hand over it so that 1t wouldn't get away, and he smiled little and said thank you, meaning 1t. as it seemed. and then as moved on l heard him coming after me an- other God bless youl' which may have been just surplusage, or the artistic finish of a beggar with some pride in his profession or which may have meant what 1t said.
 Really. I don't know, but anyhow. I got 5wo God bless yous for nickel
