PLAN TO DIVERT
IMMIGRANTS FROM NEW YORK

The so-called Galveston movement, to
divert Jewish immigration from New
York to the Gulf port, has attracted
wide attention. The doubt has been as
to the feasibility of the plan. "Would
not>th newcomers, it has been ask
ed, "be dissatisfied in the West and
drift back to the Eastern settlements
of their own nationality?'
The plan has been effective for 50
short a time that sufficient data to an
swer the question positively have not
yet been accumulated. Still, the ex-
perience of one of the most important
distribution centers for the Galveston
movement is instructive. OF approx
mately one thousand immigrants who
landed in Galveston in the six months
following the establishing of the jew
ish Immigrants Information Bureau,
July /, 1907, about 10 per cent were
sent to Kansas City, where they came
under the care of the United Jewish
Charities and of Jacob Billikopf, su.
per'ntendent.
An individual record of each of these
hundred persons has been kept by him.
1t was rarely necessary to furnish
board longer than week, at an in.
dividual cost of between D. and SO.
Within that time places were almost
invariably found. The period covered
includes the months of financial de-
preston which made employment un.
certain. Mr.. Billikopf found 1916 jobs
for his hundred charges. In most in.
stances places were lost through no
fault of the employees. Rarely have
more than half dozen men been out
of work at one time, for the West has
not been so seriously affected by the
financial depression as the East.
All sorts of occupations are repre-
scented among immigrants. There are
tailors. shoemakers, bricllayers, tin.
ners, blacksmiths, butchers, bookkeep.
ers, loeksmiths and woodworkers.
Wherever possible men have been pro,
vided with work at their own occupa-
tions. In many cases, however, this
has proved impossible. and they have
taken whatever offered. AT present
the tailors are making the highest
wages. In some instances their pay
has increased TO $17, $1s and even $50
week. OF the lightweight persons
listed as at work on May /, forty-eight
were receiving wages under $40 a
week. with $3.50, as the minimum.
Thirty.six were getting between $40
and SIS, and four were making SIS or

more, the maximum being 500.
The record kept at the office of the
United Jewish Charities in Kansas
City makes interesting reading. There
is w. b., for instance, soapmaker,
who arrived on July /, 1907. He is
working in a packing house for 50 n
week. Since his arrival he has saved
$175 and has sent for Mis- family in
Russia. N p, n tailor, is making $40
week, has saved 800 and expects to
send for his family. /. H., laborer
in junk yard at SO a week, has sent
more than 800 to Russia. M. g., who
arrived on August 6, out of his salary
maker has saved 800 and has sent
for <his oldest daughter from Russia
M. b., an iron worker, on $l2 week
saved $40, and now has taken small
farm.
So it goes down the list, with only
two dlsc0uraging entries--One man who
was implicated in theft and left
town, and another, who is listed as
an undesirable citizen, working only
occasionally. But fourteen of the i'm
migrants, working for the most part
at meagre wages, are credited with
having saved $l265 since their arrival
in Kansas City
The movement has not yet attracted
the serious attention of the unions
possibly because it is not on an ex
tensive scale. In one instance it wal
found possible to place cornice work
err in union shop with the acquies
cence of the unions business agent
Tt was pointed out to him that the
newcomer would probably become suf
ficiently proficient within few weeks
to earn the union scale. As soon ms
he should reach that point the man
promised to take out card. The agent
took the position that it was better
to encourage such man to enter the
union than to force him into the ranks
of the nonnnion forces. Therefore he
consented that he should work in the
shop on probation. Before the expira.
ton of the period allotted the immi
grant was able to join the union.
Apparently the immigrants diverted
to the West through Galveston are moi
going to drift eastward. At least, that
is the Kansas City experience. Only
half dozen of those who have eom'
to Kansas City have left town, and
while the movement has not been Of
sufficient duration for a test, there
seems no reason to suppose that th'

new arrivals will not be satisfied with
rhe opportunities offered in the West.
AS il is, they are rapidly being trans
formed into Americans. The great So
cial service of the organized Jewish
charities in this transformation process
is self-evident. If these Russian Jews,
ignorant of the language and with their
low standard of living, were pumped
down into the West-into Kansas City,
for instance-wth no one to look after
them, they would starve for a few
DAYS, and then would drift into the
ranks of unskilled labor, with the
chances against their ever rising. With
the aid of the Charity Organization
Society they are. able to start above
the poverty level. So they have n
chance to look about, with view to
improving their condition. First they
see the need of learning English This
is provided for by the night schools
of the Jewish organizations-w which
ought to be supplanted by the public
night schools. And then they begin TO
look for better jobs.
A capmaker, who in Russia had made
only few dollars u month when he
could get work, was started in Kansas
City at $40 a week, which soon was
raised to $l2. That was opulence, and
he lived with the joy of a million
aire until he made a discovery. Then
he went to Mr.. BillilSopf with a griev'
ance.

heard that Cohen, who ism t any better

That discomfort was the evidence Of
the Russian capmaker's Americaniza'
ton. And that is one OF the fruits OF

sEAMEN OR SAILORS?

There is a difference between sea
man and sailor, according to Agent
Liddy. He says that where people
often term seafaring men sailors, they
properly should be called seamen. In
the case of a cabin boy, he states that
the difference is shown, and that the
cabin boy could not be properly term
Ell sailor. The dictionary gives, sail.
or and seaman as synonymous terms,
being anyone, not an officer, who aids

DRE|ER WILL
UNDER FIRE
CFrom Wednesdays Adveriiser.)


The Dreier will contest was con.
tinued all day yesterday before Judge
De Bolt, the evidence of Frank
Thompson, the attorney who drafted
the will, and of the stenographer of
Thompson & Clemens, being heard.
Thompson was put through long
eross-examination at the hands of NJ.
f. Prosser, attorney for w. A. Kin
ney, guardian ad Item of Emil
Dreier, who is protesting the probat-
ing of the instrument.
Cecil Brown, who represents the ad-
of the will, of whom he
is one himself, was present, but had
little occasion TO object to any of the
questions asked Thompson, the witness
himself interposing the objections,
mainly on the ground that to answer
would be a breach of professional con-
tidence. There were number of
things in connection with the prepar-
ing and signing of the will, and of
the trust deed, also, that he had for
gotten.
The trust deed in question, which
signing of the will, appeared to be
as much subject of inquiry as the
will itself, great many of Prosser Is
questions dealing with that.
From the trend of the cross exami-
nation it appeared to be the object
of the contestants attorney to show
that after paralytic stroke suffered
by the deceased, prior to the making
of the will, his attitude towards his
wife and son changed and that he fail.
ed to treat them properly, whereas, be-
fore the attack he had treated them
with the same consideration as the
rest of the family.
KAWANANAKoA WILL CASE.
In contesting the probate of the will
of the late David Kawananakoa, the
effort is to be made to have the man
agement of the estate taken out of the
hands of John F. Colburn, who has
managed it for some time and who il
named as administrator, and turn il
over to the Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company.
The exact language upon which the
contest of the Princess Kawananakoa
to the petition of John F. Colburn tc
admit to probate the will, as it appears
in the contest filed yesterday in the
Circuit Court, is:
"Does hereby contest the probate OF
said alleged will for that contestant
claims that such alleged will offered

Residents of Connecticut Cannot Doubt What Has Been
 Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs-from dis tressing kidney ills-thousands have pub llcly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. People who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testi- mony doubly proves the worth of Deans Kidney Pills to kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. Winifred Jenkins of 42 Fifth St, Ansonia, Conn, says:
 "I am willing to substantiate the former statement l made recommending Doan' S Kidney Pills. Their use cured me of sharn cutting pains in the back and q lameness of the limbs, dizzy spells which made everything black and dark about me, and general weakness due, think, to a debiliated and weakened condition of the kidneys.

KHOMYAKOFF HAS
 WITHDRAWN WORDS
THE PRESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE IS TAKEN FROM THE RUSSIAN DoUMA ON THREAT OF RESIG- NATION OF PRIMER sToLYPlN.

St. Petersburg. May 10.-M. Khomya- koff's sacrifice of his personal pride in order to safeguard the douma has won unstinted praise in all quarters. Yesterday on the demand of Premier Stolypin he withdrew the presidential strictures on the statement made a few days pre- viously in the douma by the minister of course of debate exclaimed:
 ''Thank God, we haven't parliament in Russia yet"
 M. Khomyakoff, from the chair, re- ferred to them inister's recent unfortunate expression, but later he was notified by the premier that he must withdraw his stricture, failing which the premier threatened to resign. In consideration of the fact that Premier Stolypin has been the douma's truest friend, M. Khomyakoff decided to accede to his request.
 M. Kokovosoff's phrase is relished only by the extreme reactionaries everywhere. Elsewhere it is regretted as inauspcious. The finance minister yesterday personally confessed to M Kohomyskoff that it was a slip of the tongue, and that he had not meant to offend the douma so brusquely. He was eager to retrive the wrong and made haste to attend the minor douma commission fast evening, showing special geniaty to the members present.
 The chief gainer by the incident is M. Stolypin whose prestige in the Emperor's eyes has been vastly enhanced by the sig nal demonstration of the parliament's compliance to his wishes, while parla- ment more than ever regards him as it's guardian angel.

ARMY HELPS SUFFERERS.
Envoy Thompson Distribute Clothing
 in Storm District.

Blount Springs, May 10-(Special. )-En- voy w. B. Thompson of the Salvation Army Industrial home at Birmingham visited Blount Springs Saturday for the purpose of distributing the clothing con- tributed to the cyclone sufferers. The distribution was conducted in a most sat isfactory manner. and the message of gratitude sent to the people of Birming- ham was touching in the extreme.
 Previous to the distribution the visitor was driven over the stricken district and he stated that he had never seen such de- vastation in the whole of his life. He visited the families of some of the suf- ferers to ascertain their necessities and was particularly solicitous about the fam fly of Will Thomas, whose little home re- sembles hospital ward.
 The members of this family were prob ably the most stricken of any in the dis trict-motherin-law s years old thigh broken; father, leg broken; daughter, leg broken; second daughter wounded in the leg, and one son killed instantly.
