SCOLDS IMMIGRATION OFFICERS
SECRETARY NAGEL FINDS
FAULT WITH LOOSE WORK.
Objects to Arrest and Deportation OF
Aliens Without Thorough In. ),
vestigation Of Cases.

"Of late the arreSting and deporting OF
aliens has increased enormously. and q
tendency is noted In some cases to sacri-
flee quality Of work to quantity. This will
not do.
There must be no merely superficial in
quiry in any cases. Officers must not
submit recommendation for arrest upon
irresponsible. uninvestigated accusations"
This was the sharp rebuke administered
in instructions which have just been sent
out by the bureau of immigr ration to all
commissioners of immigration and inspec-
tors in charge. directing attention to the
failure of investigating officers in max
ing thorough preliminary inquiry espe-
ciaily in cases of alleged violation of the
alien contract labor law
The circular letter of instruction points
out that the bureau of immigration re-
Gently has had its attention directed in
forceful manner to the fact that immi-
grafton officers do not observe in the
handling Of warrant cases the admoni-
tons contained in the immigration regu-
lations which caution officers in .he care
to be exercised in conducting an investi-
cation into cases of aliens believed to be
in this country in violation of the law.
Spite Work Must Stop.
Officers are especially cautioned not to
lend their aid in causing the arrest Of
aliens upon charges arising out OF per-
sonal spite Or enmity. unless the truth
of such charges is clearly established" is
the admonition to which particular atten-
ton is directed.
That the failure OF officers to observe
the bureaus admonitions arises from
either excess of zeal or failure to appre-
ciate the gravity of the power OF arrest
and deportation, or fnexcusable ignorance
of the purport and intent of such adrao-
nitions, is the declaration of the bureau.
1T is necessary, of course, In some
cases. in order 10 prevent escapes, to APP
ply for a warrant of arrest upon meager
evidence, especially in cases OF criminals,
prostitutes and procurors." ii Is set forth.
But investigating officers, or those in
charge. must not fall into the habit OF
submitting applications without the con-
duct of a thorough. preliminary inquiry.
These Desirable Citizens.
1.-The instances in which this failure
has been noted arc principally. but not
the alien contract labor provisions. IN
such cases, particularly. there is no ex.
cuse for precipitancy, for, as rule, there
is no danger the alien will escape. and.
moreover. alleged contract laborers usu-
ally belong to a desirable class IL the alle-
cation is not true.
The instructions were issued by the
direction of Secretary NaGel of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor and
cent ruling in contract labor case in
which he caustically commented upon
the superficial inquiry which has been
made into the matter. --s.

Khartuna.
From the London Chronicle.

Khartum, for which money is wanted to
finish the cathedral. is a young city, hav-
ing been founded in 1923 by Muham-
med Ally. but it has known many fiuc-
tuations in prosperity during it's short life.
A population of 10000 in 1859 dropped in
the seventies to 14.OOO. rose again to 10 600
before the mahdi's revolt. and i'm 1901
was given as 10000. It's Arabian name
of Elephants Trunk was suggested by
the shape of the tongue of land at the
confluence of the two Niles on which
ii stands. Since 1901 khartum has begun
to attract European visitors by its salu-
brious climate. and. as the starting point
for all travellers going inland by the
Nile route it is rapidly increasing in
prosperity and Importance.

A New Peril.

From the Westminster Gazette
Sir William Bull writes TO the papers
to suggest that appendicitis arises from
our habit of sharpening knives. THE
head of every family invariably sharpens
his carving knife he stands before
the joint. This means d shower of micro
scopic steel shayings on the meat APP
pendicitis has increased enormously of
late years. Perhaps our grandfathers al
ways used blunt knives or dissected the
joint In ways of which polite society has
kept no record.

In Five Minutes.

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call 1T Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist and
ask him to open 50-cent case of Papes
Diapepsin and net you eat one 22-grain
Triangule and see if within five minutes
there is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation-foo souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there is
lack of gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become affected
with loss OF appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tenderness
in the pit of stomach, bad taste in
mouth, constipation, pain in limbs,
sleeplessness, belching of gas, billiousness,
sick headache, nervousness, dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and nothing
tempts you, or you belch gas or if you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like lump of lead on your stomach,
you can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there is but one cause
fermentation of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really wrong.
Stop this fermentation and begin eating
what you want without fear of discom-
fort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter of how soon
you take little Diapepsin.

Sporting Notes.

Ralph Laird returned Sunday from
Lowell, Mass, where he was given a
try-out by the New England League
team OF that place. Saturday he pitched
three innings for the regular team
against the second team and allowed
them but one hit. He has taken out a
reserve contract with the team which
calls for his appearance later in the
season, when, no doubt, the weather
will be more conducive to base ball than
snow shoeing.
A basket ball game of national interest
was pulled off at Yonkers, n Y, Satur-
day night, when Co and Yonkers got
together to settle their tie game.
Yonkers won % to 5, and the argument
about the tie which has interested the
basket ball world for some time is at
least temporarily settled.
Judging from the reports which leak
out from Hartford, Conn, there is little
doubt that Ward Brennan, the Beau
Brummel of basket ball, will wear Con-
necticut league base ball togs the coming
summer. The Hartford Evening Post
has the following to say regarding
Wards chances of making the team:
Ward Brennan of Hoboken was out
with the players and he tossed a few
from the fence to home plate in such easy
fashion that the fans present said that if
a bad ball ever got loose in a game
Brennan could throw it into the New
Haven harbor without much trouble"

School Children Scared.

A rock about foot in diameter and
heavy enough to tax the strength of two
husky boys who carried it from the
building, crashed through the roof and
two ceilings of the Paddock Village
school Friday forenoon, landing directly
in front of the scholars. The rock was
thrown a distance of 100 rods from
point where the road is being widened
and two smaller stones were thrown
through the windows in a room on the
second story. Fortunately no one was
injured but recitations and studies were
temporarily adjourned until teachers and
scholars recovered from the shock.

Bright Sayings of New England Babies,

Realizing that many parents are sure
that their child has said "the brightest
thing you ever heard" The Boston
Journal has opened an interesting de-
partment in which it is printing
daily some of the funny savings with
which young New Englanders are anus
ing their little circle of relatives and
friends.
MANY of these are already coming to
the Bright Sayings. Editor, who will,
each week, give one of the new toys
the Billy Possum-to each of the five
children whose wits seemed the brightest.
Here's what some of the little ones have
said:
Little Miss Denehy OF Somerville was
preparing for bed one night and when
her mother asked that she make her
usual prayer she declined and was put
to bed without it. Every soon after
ward" writes her mother, "she called
and said that she was ready to say her
prayer, and this is what she said:
Father, Father, Father, play the hose
on me-"
Mrs. J. J. Derehy, 800 Lowell St.,
Somerville.
When a distant relative was making
prolonged visit Master George Stanley
of ITS Bellevue Street, Boston, refused
one night to remember her in his prayer,
but when reminded by his mamma he
added, "Well, Lord, there's Jennie she is
a silly little thing, but guess you had
better bless her, too"
Baby" Jordan, Roslindale 2-year-
old, fell out of his go-cart one day and
cut his face His grandfather asked:
Why Baby, what happened to your
face?" to which Baby replied, 81 dropped
it."
