the aliens throughout the country. 1t
is understood that this last provision
has the approval of Senator Root,
formerly secretary of state. j. IL.

Representative Burnett. who escaped
censure at his hands. Professor jerks

criticised sharply by Mr.. Macon, but

probably open the headquarters IN
Chicago early in the and
