NATIVE BORN; NOT CITIZEN
Ellis Island Held Not to Be American
Soil in Case of Immigrant
Woman's Baby.

A child born of an alien mother,
during her detention at Ellis island
Is not an American citizen, since the
status of the parent does not change
until her acceptance by the immigra-
ton authorities. This is the decision
reached In Washington in the case
of Mrs Bahia Ouat, Syrian, who
gave birth to a son while at Ellis is
land and whose eligibility to enter the
country because her son was born OH
American soil puzzled the immigration
authorities
Mrs. Ouat arrived at Ellis island,
unaccompanied and without money.
She was considered subject to depor-
tation as liable to become a public
charge Upon her claim that her hus-
band was later coming to meet her
here, having tarried behind to dispose
Of some real estate, she was detained
pending an investigation of her hus-
bands whereabouts.
In the meantime a son was born to
her, and as the immigration laws pro-
hibit the separation of families the
question was raised as to the right to
deport the son as one born on Amer
lean soil and therefore entitled to cit
lzenship upon coming of age. The I'M
bureau, however, holds that.
broadly considered. Ellis island is not
American soil.

HAS VERY UNIQUE OFFICE
New Quarters of the indian Commits
sioner In Washington Are
SpIendidy Decorated.

Mention of government offices
brings to the mind of the average
Washington man a picture of great
room, Uttered, one may say, with old,
red-imitation mahogany-desks. hung
with drop lights. and ornamented
with electric fans.
The contrary is the appearance of
the new offices of the commissioner Of
Indian affairs His rooms in the pen
sion office building are spacious, but
they are artistically arranged. Oiled
oak desks have supplanted the old red
ones. The floor, highly POLISHED, is laid
with blankets of the Navajo and of
other famous Indian tribes, which are
gazed upon covetonsly by lovers OF
unique decoration.
On the walls are hung pictures OF
Indians, civilized and primitive, and
on the grill work above one of the
doors is a string of pennants OF
number of the Indian schools. Ger
tainly no other government Office is
so unique in appearance.

Look of Fatigue Emphasized on His
Return to Capital.
WashingtOn.-The president is over
trained.
Upon his return from his trip to
New York and Newark, his friends
noticed that the tagged look he has
worn for the past week or two was
greatly emphasized and that he
seemed worn out.
1t is believed that he has been TAX.
ing too much exercise, and that this,
combined with the physical exertion
of his trips and his business cares,
have told in some measure on his
vitality.
All through this winter he has every
morning gone through a pretty siren
uous regime of physical training with
his physical instructor, DR.. Barker.
In addition to this, he has been walk.
ing four or five miles eveary after.
noon. The result is that, in the par
lance of the prize ring, he is "Over-
trained" and has tried to do too
much, with the idea of keeping him.
self in good physical condition.
His friends are advising him to cut
down the exercise, both in the morn.
ing and on the afternoon walks and
horseback rides. Some have suggest
ed that he would do we'll to leave
Washington for complete rest of
a week or ten days and go to some
point where he could have absolute
freedom from the cares of his office.
This he has so far refused to do.

SAYS WOMEN ARE TO BLAME
Lafe Young of Des Moines Tells Why
Department Stores Have
Grown.

A group of men were discussing the
parcels post system in Washington
and there was the general statement
that the big department stores would
drive out the small country merchants.
Then Lafe Young of Des Moines, Ia,
made an interesting statement. "The
women are responsible for the big de-
partment stores" he said. "It all
grew out Of the cost of delivering
goods A womaz would buy 25 cents
worth Of stuff at a store and insist
that it should be delivered The small
merchants could not afford to main
tain delivery systems. and they gave
way to the big department stores"
Yet. if Col. Lafe would sit up and
take notice, he would see that nine
out of ten women carry packages.
whereas only about one man out of
ten will be bothered with even small
packet The evening paper is about
all the average man carries home.

RACES CLASH.
Militia Called to QueI Disturbances
In Arkansa.

In Arkansa.
Eldorado Ark.-Following the
wounding of three white men, the
formation of a mob and an attack on
the negro section of the city, Edo
RADIO has been under control of the
military and what threatened to de-
velop into a serious racial clash has
been suppressed, for the time being
at least.
The disorder began when a white
man was crowded from the sidewalk
by negro. Bystanders took hand
and the negro, drawing a knife, made
a lunge at one of his adversaries. No
one was injured, however, and the ne
gro escaped
A posse of citizens started search
for the negro and when they entered
a resort the invaders were greeted
with a fusilade of revolver shots.
Three of the party, Oscar Reynolds,
Edward Reynolds and Roscoe Mont
gomery, were wounded, the last
named probably fatally.
The mob quickly formed and had
begun the destruction of negro cabins
and property, when Governor Dona-
ghey was appealed to and the local
militia company was ordered out.
The rioting then was short-lived, the
crowds dispensing at the approach of
the soldiers.

CiT GOVERNMENT BEAN SOUP
i'eosicrs Cook Vegetable Sent Out for
Seed. Says information Received
by Congressman.

Representative Ralph W. Moss, who
is making red-hot fight to bring
about the abolishment of the so-called
free seed graft" threw a bomb into
the ranks of the free seed advocates
III congress by springing a surprising
revelation.
Moss has received information that
In Indiana beans sent out by the gov
srnment are being used to make soup
instead of being planted in the regu-
lation way for the termination of the
future bean crops. This use OF the
government bean is something entire
ly novel. and Mr. Moss believes that
the information he has received will
assist him materially in waging war
on the free seed business.
The information came to Mr.. Moss
IN letter from former member of
the legislature. residing in Terre
Haute. He says he can supply the
names and data. and is entirely will
ing it shall be used in the good cause
OF stopping the government free seed
distribution
1t seems. according to Mr. Moss in
formant. that packages of seeds sent
out for distribution at a certain place
In Indiana have been opened, the
beans extracted and used for making
soup. This is not regarded as a fla
grant sin in these days. of soaring
prices for food products. but the
Terre Haute man merely sends in the
information to show the contempt in
which the government bean is held
out in Indiana.

JURY INDlcT3 THEE.
White Men and Negro Held For Afro.
cious Savannah Murder,

ClOQS Savannah MuTUcTs
Savannah. Ca-David L. Taylor,
alias c. ]. Hunter, w. H. Walls, both
white men, and John Coker, colored,
have been indicted by the Chatham
county grand jury for the murder OF
Mrs. Maggie Hunter, wife of the first
named, one Of the three women WHO
met terrible death in the Perry street
"house of murders" in this city, early
in December last year.
The indictment came as a surprise,
which is not mitigated by the fact
that the indictment is a blanket m"
and does not mention Mrs. Eliza
Gribble and Mrs. Carrie Orland +,
mother and daughter, two other vic
tins Of the triple murder.
The three men mentioned in the is
dictment have been in prison almost
since the day following the discovery
of the crimes. 1t is recalled that Mrs.
Hunter, while in delirium before her
death at local hospital, declared
that it was a white man who had
struck her the terrible blow that
broke her skull and caused her death.
The murders were particularly afro
cious, the three women, one of them
70 years old, being battered down
with some blunt instrument with
blows that served to crush their
