MAY NOT ADMIT
JEWS To LAND
Secretary of Department of Com
merce and Labor Wants Test
Cage Taken to Courts.

WASHINGTON, r C., July 22.--The
question of the accessibility OF the
United States to Jews induced to fee
from Russian persecution to this coun-
try by the American Jewish Aid So
ciety came up again today In the de-
partment of commerce and labor
through the news that another ship
load of Russian Jewish immigrants is
destined to arrive at Galveston. next

Secretary Bressler. Of the Jewish Aid
Society. and representative Bennett. of
New York, called on Acting Secretary
Cable OF the department of commerce
and labor with delegation of promi-
nent Jews TO learn the attitude of the
department on the admittance of the
immigrants.
Cable told them that every case must
be considered by Itself. He said that
he was strongly of the opinion that in
sofnueh as each immigrant viii pro-
baby present an Identification card
made out by the Aid Society's agents
In Russia, II would appear that they
came at the instigation of the society.
If, also the testimony Of the immi-
grants show that they had received
aid from America and had been prom
ised employment after their arrival,
he said they could not be admitted un-
der the immigration laws.
Cable told the inquirers that he
would be glad to have a test case on
this question taken into the courts
so that the matter hight have a final
decision upon which to base future ac-
ton.
This is the second shipload of Rus
sian Jews sent to Galveston this year,
and 1t is admitted by the society that
this is only the beginning of the immi-
grafton of Jews into the southern part

studied art and spent two years in
Chicago and one year in New York
City to this end On the ninth Of June
1909, she was married to DR.. Lee w.
Prescott of Sloan, Iowa, where she re-
sided with her husband until her death,
Jan. Is, 1910. Mrs. Prescott was for
many years an earnest and loyal mem
Der of the First Congregational church
of this city and was especially active
in its Sunday School. Many of the
young people of Cresco will retain un-
til their dying day the memory of her
sweet influence and gentle teachings,
and we shall all miss her. Her splendid
accomplishments, her unaffected k!Edli-
ness of manner and her loyalty to her
friends leaves upon the hearts of all
who knew her an ineffaceable perfume
of loving and regretful memories.

She was a pioneer. No one of the
younger generation can pay proper
tribute to the pioneer, because we can
never know the sacrifice they have
made for us. The most we can do is
to humbly acknowledge the debt. Mrs.
