Straus' Figures Disputed

The Asiatic exclusion league has
questioned the latest figures given out
by Secretary Straus of the department
of commerce and labor bearing on the
question of Japanese immigration. At
a meeting Of the league held last night
figures gathered from the immigration
bureau were presented TO show that
for the five months ending October 81,
1908. the arrivals OF Japanese numbered
1854 and the departures ZIG, showipg
an Increase in the Japanese population
OF AS. The league also took issue
with Straus statement that entries by
the Mexican border were inconsequen-
tial.
George Benham was instructed by the
league to address communications TO
labor organizations throughout the
United States asking them TO con-
tribute small sums monthly to aid the
work Of the association.
A letter was received from Congress
man Kahn stating that he had given
his attention TO prospective legislation
on the Japanese question. A letter was
also received from Congressman Hayes.
Il think that Il is about time" wrote
Hayes, that the people of the United
States run their own affairs and not
let the mikado run them. The things
that the Japanese are asking are not
allowed foreigners in Japan. They
ask us 10 grant privileges TO them that
they do not grant TO others"

CATHOLIC COLLEGE
RECTOR is NAMED
DR.. Thomas j. Shahan Appoint
ed as Head of Big Institution
in Washington, D. c.


BALTIMORE. Jan. 3O.-A mistake in
cables from Rome announcing the ap-
pointment of an acting rector OF the
Catholic university at Washington has
caused a misunderstanding. According
to press cables DIR. Edmund Thomas
Shanahan, professor of theology at the
university and a BostOnian, is the man,
while the apostolic delegate at Wash
ington has a cipher cable giving the
name DR.. Thomas J. Shahan Of New
Hampshire. member of the university
staff. Cardinal Gibbons through his
secretary, Rev. Louis O'Donavan, said
tonight that Shahan was the new
rector.
DR.. Shahan, who is much better
known to the public at large than DR..
Shanahan, was congratulated when the
first message came in. Fluctuations of
his friends poured in. and some news
papers which knew his career printed
expressions of approval on so admirable
a choice by the authorities in Rome.
Messages of good will came from all
parts of the country, and all agreed
that with his learning. experience
and executive ability, the new rector
would prove nearly ideal for the po-
sition.
DR.. Shanahan also has received nu-
merous congratulations but Cardinal
Gibbons statement that Shahan is the
appointee seems to correct the mixup.
