CONDITIONS IN
U. S. NOT SO BAD
IMMIGRANTS HOMES IN LARGER
CITIES INVESTIGATED BY
coMMIssIcN-coNGREss
GETS REPORT.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The crowding
of immigrants i'm the congestcd dis
tricts of large cities Is much less
prevalent than is popularity supposed,
and common report of bad living con-
ditions among such immigrants is
much overdrawn, according to an ex-
haustive report upon immigrants in
cities. transmitted to congress today
by the immigration commission.
The report which was prepared I'M
der the direction of e. A. Goldenweiser
and makes a volume of approximately
500 pages, is based on a study of over
5000 households in some of the most
congested districts Of New York, Chi
cago Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland,
Buffalo and Milwaukee.
1t shows that the population of con-
gested districts is composed mostly of
recent immigrants, one-third of the
families canvassed having been in the
United states less than FIVE years and
two-thirds less than ten years.
Average 2.32 Per Bedroom.
In the cities covered It was found
that there was an average of 134 per-
sons per 100 rooms occupied, includ-
ing kitchens and an average of 232
persons per 100 sleeping rooms. The
number Of persons per 100 rooms oc-
cupied in the different cities follows:
Boston 144; Philadelphia, 141; New
York and Cleveland, 1879; Buffalo, 1873;
Chicago, 1876; Milwaukee, lis.
out of every ten families visited,
one family owned its own home. This
home ownership averaged i'm i'm
Milwaukee, i'm in Chicago, Cleve-
land and Buffalo, I in Is in Philadel-
phia, / in 90 In Boston and / in 200
in New York.
Good or a fairly good condition of
cleanliness was found i'm five sixths of
all the houses investigated though the
streets were usually dirty, due in
many cases to municipal Indifference
to out -of the-way districts.
Sanitation Up to the City.
Sanitary conditions were found to
depend largely on the city rather than
on the occupants of the homes, and
certain races, the inquiry showed, at
tached more Importance to cleanliness
and sanitation than others.
The growth of foreign colonies in
large cities is attributed by the CCm-
mission to immigrants generally Join
ing their friends or relatives and re-
manning near them for time, but a
more general distribution of the older
immigrants has been brought about
by desire for better surroundings.

TAFT and HARMON
Fighting FOR OHIO
PRESIDENT AND DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR ARE ENGAGED IN
OPEN STRUGGLE FOR
BUCKEYE STATE.

Columbus, O., Feb. 2.-Controf OF
Ohio-and control of Ohio is the big
gest thing in American politics today
lis the prize i'm the fight between
President Taft and Governor Harmon,
which began in the open today, with
the reference of the pet reforms OF
both leaders to committees OF the
legislature.
IL Harmon can win his reforms. il
is conceded his campaign for re-elec-
ton may be successful That would
make him the logical candidate of His
party for president. Harmon carried
Ohio, though Taft won the state bv
about 10000. Harmon's chief strength
In his first campaign for governor was
the way he courted the farmer at the
county fairs. His defeat Of Farmer
Andy Harris, surprised the republi-
cans and made him presidential pos
sIbility. IN his first message to the
legislature he advocated radical re-
forms The republican leaders de-
clared that instead of blocking Har-
mon, they would ut-bid him. Taft
himself supplied Speaker Mooney
with the public utilities bill, one re-
form feature Harmon omitted. That
omission will be republican thunder
later on.
1t will be coupled with j. p. Nor
gan's open Partially to the railroad
administrators.
So far the republican measures that
followed the game path as those adj
vocated by Harmon have tn. right of
way, but the governor Lad the first
word with his message to the legisIa-
ture.
Also Harmon did not forget his
promise to the farmers. His investiga-
tors have been steadily at work in the
state records.

PARDoNs INDIAN MURDERER.
President Lenient TO Man Who Killed
Spirit Doctor.

Washington, Feb. 2.--An ancient In
dian tradition on the Umatilla reserva :
ton in Oregon, indirectly has been re-
spected by the administration.
Columbia George, an Indian on the
reservation. had an infant which be-
came i'll. He called in a woman spirit
doctor and the child died He was told
that in accordance with tradition OF
the tribe it was his privilege to kill the
doctor. George got intoxicated and
also gave the old woman whiskey
dosed with strychnine. "A life sentence
was given him. George apparently
was most Indifferent, but somebody in
terested himself in the case and an APP
plication came to Washington for
Georges pardon. and President Taft
decided to commute the sentence to
expire Immediately.
