ENGLAND A DUMPING GROUND.

Laxfty in Enforcement of the Alien
Act IL Bringing Obvious Results.
The United States Is no longer re-
garded as the dumping ground OF the
criminal classes of the world. The time
was when the British government made
boast Of the fact that she could SEN
tence her criminals to prison or to the
colonies In America. To-day that same
nation is being blamed by continental
Europe for allowing England to become
the spawning ground for assassins,
anarchists and bomb manufacturers.
Laxity in the enforcement Of the alien
act Is claimed to be acting against all
attempts to maintain law and order In
London, and even Scotland Yard finds
ever growing difficulty in keeping the
criminal classes under supervision. Eng
land Is paying a dear price for her
Wanted fright Of asylum" and is ac-
cepting recldivists from the United
States and bad men from all the world.
Statistics show that during the last
year 100000 aliens landed In the Uni
tcu Liz bdLuc TeCOTuS buOW
that Of the entire number only 6O4
were sent back. This Is claimed by
E%nglishmen to be proof in itself that
the alien act which provides for the re-
fusal Of asylum to criminal classes
and paupers Is a sham and a make be-
lief. The one bright spot in the situa-
ton is the common sense alacrity with
which Judges and magistrates cite con.
victed aliens for deportation. But po-
litlcal refugees keep coming and the
mawkish sentiment of the ruling pow
ers seems to prevent decisive action ir
an effort to stem them.
The time was when the criminal in,
~vestigation department in Londor
made the boast that within a few min
utes' notice 1t could draw a Gordon
about Soho and other unsavory regioni
in London, north of Oxford street ant

Industrial suburbs of the marvellous and
constantly growing metropolis.
As an example Of the hopeless efforts
with the criminal classes of the world
the Tottenham case is cited. 1t Is only
one of q dozen or more, perhaps less
serious, but still based on the same
cause and producing the same result
and happening on the busiest thorough
fares of London. The case has excited
comment in the world over and Is one
of the most remarkable affairs that
modern London has seen, reminding
Americans of an episode in the earlier
days on the frontiers of the Wild West.
1t appears from the facts at hand
that Albert j. Keyworth, a messenger
in the employ of Messrs. Schnurrmann
of the India Rubber works, in Chestnut
road, Tottenham. was bringing $500 to
the plant In a motor car and was
speeding at a good rate, when two men
said to be Russians and anarchists
fired several shots through the wind
screen, held up the car, and succeeded
In taking the money and getting away
