Attacking a Nuisance.
ON the Columbus Journal.


Our esteemed friend. who directs a
powerful epistle against our humorous
article on ''Dozing,'' taking as the object
of his affront our kind word for the
morning newsboy, should direct his
anathema against the motor cycle, if his
purpose is to demolish a public nuisance.
which that certainly is. Its clatter is
perfectly hideous and the whole town is
disgusted with il. A person has to stop
talking. reading or thinking until the
Notwithstanding vehicle has passed by.
A man has right to peace and quiet.
II Is a real right, and the extent to which
that right is protected is a measure of
the intelligence and culture Of COM
munity A man has right to go rip
ping down a street scattering horrid tu-
multi along the way and turning quiet
homes into bedlams. II is the rankest
kind of disorderly conduct and should be
suppressed by law, or else the brakes
should be. set down or the unearthly
noises be stopped, which il is easy to
do. This incessant clatter along the
street is hurting homes and depreciating
property.

Last of all, one sees a pretty young
girl of eighteen from BeSsarabian vii
lage in the south of Russia. She peers
timidly from beneath a shawl which is
wrapped round her head like A mill girls.
After travelling half across Europe she
has reached England without so much
as a penny piece i'm her pocket, nor has
she a scrap of luggage. A soiled and
crumpled letter in her pocket bears an
invitation from her sister, who Is mar
ried and settled in Whitechapel. When
Informed that the officers cannot pass
her she bursts into passionate fit of
weeping and goes back Sobbing to her
quarters.
Right to Appeal.
All aliens who have been rejected in
this manner have the right to appeal to
the alien immigration board. and very
few ignore the precious privilege. They
come up in the charge of the ships Of
ficers. The law enacts that if an alien
is rejected on arrival in this country he
must be returned by the shipping COM
pany at their expense to the port at
which they embarked him. Further, they
are held responsible for his safe custody
while the ship is in England. The Brit
ish act took as its example the Ameri-
can law on the subject.
NO eloquent counsel pleads the cause
of the rejected before the tribunal of

few are lucky enough to have relatives
in England ready to befriend them, but
often enough there is no one to say a
word for the stranger who is at the
gates. The proceedings are usually brief.
The facts of the case are stated to the
board, the alien answers such questions
are put to him. and then comes the

WIFE and DAUGHTER
STAKED BUFFERS
Stepson Testiies That They
Bought Ticket to Africa for
Fortune Seeker

OAKLAND, Sept. 14.-David S. Ed
wards, who was private secretary of
his stepfather, the late Henry Buffers
for IL years, was the principal witness
being made against the will of his
mother, the late Lucie B. Buffers, by
some of her children. Edwards de-
clared that his mother was of unsound
mind.
His examination was conducted with
great latitude. and. he was permitted
to give the life history of Buffers for
the II years of his close association
With him. For one thing he told hov
his mother and his sister, now Mrs. r.
A. Bray, once staked Buffers to a
steamer ticket to South Africa, in the
hope that he would make his fortune
there. The women divided the cost be-
tween them. The venture was a sue
cess, for Buffers came back wealthy.
Edwards estimated the fortune left
by Mrs. Buffers at $450,0o0, and ac-
counted for it as follows: Block at
San Pablo avenue and Sixteenth street,
100000; Alta Vista, the Buffers home
in Piedmont, $4,000; claims against the
estate of Henry Buffers. $4,000, and
the remainder of outstanding notes and
personal effects.
The witness testified to his mothers
frequent lapses of memory after her
separation from her husband. He
would frequently report to her as to
her property, but she seemed to forget,
Edwards said. what he had told her
almost as soon as he had said it.
