the secretary of the interior. In
his letter of transmittal Commits

educational preparation for definite
occupations in life, and particularly
for the several trades, is under
serious consideration in the United
States. The relation of trade edu-
cation to general education is one
of the important aspects of that
question. This relation was sum-

in saying: What science and prac-

THE advance made in the pres

subject are now less indefinite and

THAT THE IMMIGRATION
COMMISSION |SPLAY|NG POLITICS
Congress Cuts Off Deficiency Appro-

Rv Associated Lress

by ASStCtdteu ETeSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-By cut
ting off the deficiency appropriation
of $125,000 for the national M
migration commission the house to-
day lent the support of several
members, led by Representative
Macon of Arkansas, who denounced
the commission, and it's work, and
threatened it with immediate ex-
tinction. Unless the fri.s.lds of the
commission succeed in having the
item restored to the urgent def
cheney bill by the senate it VIII
be compelled to suspend io- 'ack IF
funds.
The commission was created by
an act of congress of February 90,
1907, and has brought forth a
number of interesting reports deal
ing with the conditions of imn,i-
grant ships, and the lives of aliens
after their arrival in this country.
Senator Dillingham; is the chairman
of the commission and the other
members are Senator Lodge, Repre-
sentatives Howell, Bennett and
Burkett, Professor jerks of Cor
nell university and William Wheel
er of San Francisco.
Macon made a point of order
against the appropriation on the
ground that it was not deficiency.
Then came the general assault
against the commission Mason
charged the commission had gone
junketing on an expedition abroad,
had spent $657,993 and accom-
plished practically nothing. He
said jerks devoted the first part
of each week to duties at the Cor
nell institution, which he charac-
terized as playing politics all the

secretary of the Merchants Ship
ping association of San Francisco
drawing 10000 a year and $500

the latter Office as a political sine
