 Views of Commissioner of Immigration. Robert Watchorn, the commissioner of immigration here says there is no reason why the country should not throw off the curse of the Black Hand. It was time, he said, that the United States did something to protect not only its own countrymen, but the thrifty from foreign shores who had become good citizens.
 With morc money and machinery to handle the immigration problem" he said, there is no reason why the prob lem should not be solved. The vicious men of Italy and Sicily, by shipping as sailors aboard hundreds of ships, land on our shores constantly without government intervention. By extend ing the scope of immigration work to include the rigid inspection of all crews landing in our ports-as We now in- spert and admit or reject foreign pas seugers-our government will have a strangle hold on the infamous murder clan.
 Round Up Criminal and DereIict ltaI-
 ians.
 And something else is necessary, too. Steps should be taken by the po- lice all over the country to round up the criminal and delelict Italians and make them give satisfactory explana- tion of how they got into this country. Those who cannot give satisfactory an- swers should be deported at once. There are laws and machinery enough to perform this wedding out process successfully"

 The cleverest detectives in Italy have been sent throughout Sicily under all sorts of disguises and the authorities feel sure that the assassins will cer- tainly fall into their hands unless they managed to escape from the country by sea immediately after committing the crime.

left Thursday evening for Portland.
While here they awakened consid-
cradle interest in the patent ball
bearing, oilless gearing, invented by
Mr.. Lucky. and which they are en-
gagged in trying out. They had with
them a buggy that had travelled 400
miles without oiling and which will
be driven across the continent soon
and without the nse OF oil. Lucky
first tried his invention on a buggy
he made for Or. #. G. Brosius, OF
Hood River, who has a largo country
practice, and is an unusually hard
driver. DR.. BrOsius used his buggy
In his practice for three and a half
years, and though the wheels we're
pretty well worn in that time the
boxes were practically as good az
new. In all that time the wheels
were never taken on. In connection
with this, Lucky has a patent lock
nut, simple in construction but per-
feet IN It's work. With this nut there
are no left-handed threads cut on
the spindles, for the nuts can't turn,
and there Is consequently no turning
OF a nut off In backing a buggy-a
very common accident with the old
nuts. A large crowd gathered every
time the buggy was brought out, and
when Lucky fed sand, cement and
other grit into the boxes, which was
soon ground up and cast out, every
body sat up and took notice.
