q resident OF Chicago, was released
from the Ohio penitentiary az Coium

WEST WANTS
$4,000 men
Call for Harvest Hands Heard

to harvest the seasons bounteous
crops comes from the west to officials
Of the department of commerce and
labor, whose functions in part
find employment Wherever possii
the throngs of aliens who come lao
this country.
Fifty thousand able bodied men are
wanted, and badly, too, by the farm
ers of the west, according TO Repre-
sentative Stevens of Minnesota, who
has been in conference with Assistant
Secretary McHarg and other officials
of the department of commerce and
labor. Mr.. Stevens says the west is
literally begging for help to gather the
big wheat and other crops. He de-
clares that the crop situation in the
west Is splendid.
Aliens Lack Resources.
While officials mere are more than
willing to assist they are powerless
to do very much, because of the al
most penniless condition of the thou
sands of aliens who annually reach
American shores. Mr.. McHarg is
heartily in favor Of the "timely sug-
gestion" of Commissioner Williams al
the Ellis Island immigration station
that aliens should at least possess s25
upon landing to prevent their becoming
public charges. He believes that the
problem Of relieving the congested CEN
ters Of the alien population could be
solved by the railroads of the country
offering to. transport them at actual
cost to these sections where profitable
employment could be had. The rail-
roads would in the end, he declares.
profit by so doing, because they would

New York City, July 21.-Comptrol-

self popular not only in his own dis
trict but in many of the boroughs
which constitute Greater New York
Just as he was sailing for Europe on
the Kron Prinzessin Cecilia this week
to inspect some chemical works in
which he is interested, a crowd of
friends were at the wharf to wish him
Godspeed. Right then and there a.
small boom was started for Mr.. Metz
as candidate for mayor OF New
York.
1t Is known that Metz has ambitions
in this direction, but whether he would
accept the nomination if rendered to
him at this time is not definitely
known. He said to the group Of men:
II never turn anything down that
has not been offered me- and thus he
left New York wondering whether he
would be i'm the field this fall or not
He will be back about the middle Of
September and will undoubtedly find
his boom grown to large dimensions in
his absence.
Metz is close to the people, and as
comptroller has established record
OF good management.
