Taft SEES OUR NEW CITIZENS
Mr.. TAFT VISITS ELLIS ISLAND
IMMIGRANTS.
Aide Welsh Miner With Motherless
ChiIdren-Gets Ideas On
immigration. a

New York, Oct. 19.-President Taft
had his first view Of that wonderful
piece of machinery on Ellis island.
where the aliens of many countries
undergo their first gruelling on the
road to American citizenship. He
spent five hours in the one place in the
United States where the rights Of
human liberty temporarily are sus-
pended by executive action alone,
while the work of separating the mod
erately good immigrants from the
wholly bad goes on day after day.
The human interest side of the work
at the big immigrant station appealed
to the president keenly. He saw the
process of handling the aliens from
the moment of landing, through their
wide-eyed wondering and docile COM
pliance with all Of the rigid rules
or mental and physical examination
and segregation up to the moment of
final discharge, when, with tear-stream-
ing eyes, they rushed into the arms
of waiting friends or relatives.
It was this last phase of the work
which struck the president most deep
ly. With nerves strung to the break
ing point over the detention, the
strange surroundings and the doubt
as to final admission, most of the wo-
men among the new arrivals gave way
completely to their emotions as they
were released from the wire cages
which greet the eye ON every side.

FISH AND GAME LAW
Warden Lincoln Makes Recon-
mendations in Biennial Report
FAvORS REVISING SEINE Law
Would Prohibit More Than Two
Hooks on a Trot Line and Make
1t Unlawful for Children to
Carry Firearms.

Des Moines, Oct. 1S.-In his 5iea.
NAL report to Governor Carroll
George A. Lincoln, state fish and
game warden, makes several recon.
mendations for changes in the fish
and game laws of the state. Those
recommendations are as follows:
A law making the possession Of u
seine unlawful; a law prohibiting
the use of over two hooks on a trot
line; law defining game birds and
declaring the ownership of them to
be in the state; law forbidding the
use of ferrets in hunting game;
law making it unlawful to take or
offer for sale black bass under eight
inches long; striped bass under eight
inches long; blue or channel cat UNI
der ten inches long, pike, pickerel
or perch under ten inches long, and
croppies under six inches long, and
a law making it misdemeanor for
children under II years of age to car
ny firearms on the public domain. All
these laws are asked for in the in
terest of game and fish preservation.
Warden Lincoln also declares against
the establishment OF state game pre-
serves and says that private game
preserves are un-American and re.
minders of feudal days in Europe.
His report shows that he prosecut.
ed 449 cases, getting $lO.G17.22 in
fines, 3S Jail sentences and IS acquit-
tails. He destroyed 112 seines, 261
hoop nets, ESQ trot lines, 101 traps,
1877 dip nets, SO spears and boats,
the total value Of which was $4,000.
He has put out $3.50 eggs of ring
neck pheasants to IT'S applicants in
80 counties. He believes this to be
the proper method Of propagation OF
these game birds.
Two men, he says, made $1,000 OF
of German carp taken from the Mis-
sissippi river. One man caught co.
900 pounds, for which he received ST.
400, and one man caught 2l7,0OO
pounds, for which he received $l0,.
