SECRETARY sTRAUs PREPARES
 SOME STATISTICS.
Head of Depaftment of Commerce aAd Labor sends Figures to Senator
 F1fRt--Few Are Coming Here

Washington. Jan. 2S.--Seeretary Straus today forwarded g letter to Senator Frank P. Flint. of California, in which he discussed the statistics of the Department of Commerce and La bor covering the immigration of Jap anese to the United States and the em- Ffgration of Japanese from the United States.
 h the course of his letter. Secretary Straus says: i
 You win observe that the entire number (Japanese0 admitted was l2,- 413 for the calendar year 1897. while the entire number admitted was hut 4,47ys for the calendar year 1908. You win also bear in mind that the exec ntive order of the President was ie- sued on March. 14. 1907. but it took considerable time to prepare regula. tions provided for in that order and to put those regulations into effect and for the Department of State. both here and through our Ambassador to Japan. to arrive at a definite under standing with the Japanese govern ment.
 attention to the fact that the entire immigration for the year beginning with November 1, 1907. and ending October s1. 1908. was e.0l7 while the 0nUAfTuFGH TUT bttG oAhtG EOA->fNs 6. .a32, leaving an Increase for inimigra- tion for that year of 1S5.
 .,It Is further to be observed that bee ginning with the month of June, 1908, to october 1908, the emigration of Jap anese from the United States exceeded fhe immigration to. the United states by 1.542, showing distinctly that the trend of the migration of Japanese is from the United states. which ts furth- CT shown by the marked decrease or immigration during the months re- ferred to of 1908. as compared with tns same months of 1907.
 ''The press reports which have seen contain statements made by some of your people In California that these figures are inexact desire emphaf- Ieailx to state that they are absolute lv correct. and that the proof thereof. which is on file in the department, clearly demonstrates the accuracy of the-AGures
 Tt has further beep intimated. as see from reports. that there is 6 large influx of Japansse' over the Mexican and Canadian borders. l am justifed in saying this As not trte. for obvious reasons. That there are some few scattered surreptitious en- tries Is quite probable,' but the ntiIns Der is so small that it cannot be eonss- quentiaL
 sssFinaliy. wish to call your atsep- tion to the fact. which the statements above referred to indicate. that the arrangements which have been called the 'gentlemens agreement we have with Japan fin my judgment Ia working more effectively than would result from any restriction Jaws, be-: cause of the effective embargo Japan has placed upon departure of her sub iects from Japap."

 "In the Northwest and the Rocky Mountain districts, the weather will be generally fair during the next three or four days. with lower temperatures Thursday night and Friday. extending Friday and Friday night. into the lake regions and Ohio valley.

With his throat throbbing and aching and his eyes brimming with tears. the little fell low would not let fall. he walked from his silent home. the door of which was fastened. at Ford and Elizabeth Streets all the way down town to the Kirmtsh store, where he told Mfr. Kirmish his troubles. sobbing out his woes on tlhe- big hearted mans shoulder.
 As in the case of the former arrest Mir. Kirmfsh went to police headquar-s ters to get Mrs. Hsliner out on bond. and his bond was refused. He says he was told that there was a question ofs the woman's sanity. and that she might be sent to the county jail to be exam- ined by aifenists, and then sent to the: asylum at Tuscaloosa.
 Manuel was asked what had become of the horse and wagon his father left in Montgomery. and said his aunt had that. He was not taken to the jail to see the figure of the woman in the. cell bending over her sleeping baby,4 but was led away by Mfr. Kirmish.
