LITTLE ROCK
 -''' MA MAY BE SUED
For Failure to Carry Out Agreement with Med
 ical School

Little Rock, Nov. 20. Should the city of I tile Rock fail to carry out its agreement with the directors of the medical de- partment of the University of Arkansas, and also with the Lo- gan H. Roots Memorial Hospital the city is likely to have a suit on it's hands immediately after the first of the year. Some time ago it became plain to the city officials thet additional hospital facilities must be secured.
 The city has for a number of years conducted the Logan H. Roots haspital and the medical department of the University of Arkansas has been maintained as an annex. The hospital de- rived it's name through a sub- stantiall gift to the city from thh estate of Maj. Logan ::H. Roots.
 When the city begyn to look around for additional hospital ia cilities, two propositions were made to the charity committee, oJ which George H. Strathman was chairman. one from the College of Physicians :and Sur geons and the other from the medical department of the uni versity and heirs of Maj. Roots. The latter offer, of $10, 900 each from the University and the heirs of Maj. Roots on condition that ths city erect a $40, 900 hos pital was accepted. The agree ment was ratified by John H. Hollis as acting mayor but when w. R. Duley became mayor he oalled a halt on account of lack of funds.

A NIGHT OF SHAME

of his speech at a dinner OF the Ethi-
cal Social league in the Totel Martha
Washington last night Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise of the Free Synagogue called
the dinner rendered to Richard Croker
at Sherry's Monday night "a humilia-
tion to such citizens as are not likely
to forget that the guest of the evening
was the second of a triumvirate. the
first of whom was the boodling
Tweed and the third the unspeakable
Murphy"
Rabbi Wise said that last night
was a night of shame" and that
twelve justices of the supreme court
had dlshonored themselves and the
city alike by joining in the tribute to
Croker"
He declared later on that "tho
Croker gathering was a prologue to
Tammany's attempt TO refasten its
clutches on the life of the city"
The dinner was attended by social
lists, anarchists. single takers. lawyers
doctors, ministers, rabbis, college pro.
tessors and business men.

In His Annual Report the Secretary
Asserts That Labor and Commerce

Washington. Dec. 5.--Important and
unusual statements and recommend
ations are made by Secreary Oscar
S. Strauss. in the sixth annual r,
port of the Department OF Com

day.
Our age" says Secretary Straus.
has been very properly called an
era OF commercial development and
expansion, and the United States,
by reason of its many exceptional ad.
vantages, its boundless natural re-
sources. and possessing az rowing, in.
telligent, energetic, enterprising and
self reliant population, is reaping
greater share of industrial and com.
mercial prosperity than any of the
other nations OF the world"
Secretary Straus points out that
labor and the industries and COM
merce are inter-dependent. THAT
comerce which is developed and ex-
panded to the detriment. either of
the health or of the wage standard
of the laborers engaged therein, how
ever profitable II might be In the
material sense. is harmful to a ma
TONS welfare, and should be die.
couraged."
Particular attention is devoted by
I the Secretary in his report to the
bureaus of immigration and natural
ization, corporations and labor.
Concerning the bureau OF imml-
grafton Secretary Straus points out
| that up to thee lose of the civil war
/ our laws were fra amed to encourage
immigration and that since then
American legislation, while not hos
tile to immigration. has been d.
rected toward the elimination of un-
desirable classes.
As a result OF this legislation. the
percentage OF foreign born persons
in our population has remained prac-
tically stationary for forty years.
Concretely. the percentage OF for
eign born in 1860 was 1872, while
in 1900 II was 1871.
I'm a part OF the last fiscal year"
says Mr. Straus, and extending in
to the present, this country has suf.
fered an industrial depression due
10 number of causes. among others
10 overproduction." The effect OF
this depression upon Immigration
was immediate. the fiscal year 1908
showing a falling off of immigration
Of about 80 per cent.
Deducting the total departures of
aliens from the total arrivals during
the fiscal year the net increase of
alien population was 209, About
26 per cent of those admitted were
iliterate. The total amount OF money
actually brought into the country by
/ arriving alines was s17,79i.226, an ar
/ erage OF almost s25 each.
Warrants OF deportation were isued
| in the cases OF 1895 aliens and
/ lo.902 alier were rejected at the
| port OF arrival.
Considerable space Is devoted to
1 the incoming OF Japanese. which
shows ag radual but sure reduction
! In numbers. In the year the net
increase in population was only g.
S26. Secretary Straus says the Japa
ese and American governments are
cooperating to enforce the law re-
specting the coming Of Japanese la
borers 10 this country.
