ADVOCATE RELIEF IN HOMES
Speakers Discuss Subject at
Child Welfare Exhibit.

Robert w. Hebberd, secretary to the
State Board of Charities and former Coh-
missioner ef Public Charities OF this CITY
spoke yesterday on Home Relief" ut the
Child Welfare Exhibit. In the list Regiment
armory He urged private charity or
CARNATIONS 10 make & clean breast 10 the
public OF their inability 10 raise enough
money by private subscriptions TO carry
on public Outdoor relief In the way II
should be carried on and 10 do their best
10 secure public money from tho city for
tbs purpose.
Mr. Hebberd added that no one CUES
toned the honesty and wisdom Of the exec
utors OF any Of the six big charity or
CARNATIONS in New York He believed,
however. that. the societies should not ac-
cept the oty's money unless they agreed
10 spend every cent on the Crude material
relief and not OH the administration OF
charitable work"
New York is unique in that II gives prac-
ticslly no public relief TO people In their
homes. Incompetent distribution through
public officials put stop to that long ago.
Now, these on :ials ere not really dis
honest. but II is practically impossible for
charity commissioners to go before the city
with worthy plans for the relief OF the
poor in their homes. There is Alderman So
and So. who steps UP and says, See here
sou didn't help Mrs. O'Brien when ] asked
you to- and, consequently Alderman 60
uud So uses his vote against the commits
sioner," said Mr.. Hebberd.
Mrs william Einstein president o. the
Widowed Mothers Fund Association, in
dorsed Mr. Hebberds ideas. saying that II
ADEQUATE relief were given 20 worthy

COURT DENOUNCES STATUTE
Saws Inhuman Treatment Is Pos
sible Under Alien Law.

Judge Lacombe, OF the United states
Circuit Court, decided yesterday that the
statute recurring steamship companies TO
carry back AZ their own expense undesir-
able aliens brought to this country was
not retroactive when the cause OF unde-
sirableness developed on the arrival Of the
aliens.
The decision was made on 2 demurrer
interposed TO the two test suits brought
by the government against The North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company and the
International Mercantile Marine Company
10 recover passage money tor the deporta-
ton Of two alien women OF immoral char
acter. In the opinion handed down Judge
Lacombe said that the statute SO far as the
slien was concerned was very drastic and
that under certain conditions 1t could lead
to inhuman treatment.
He described the Hypothetical case OF a
girl who brought to this country as
small child by her parents, might after
living here many years, be forced by ad-
versity into conflict with that statute and
then be deported to the country OF her
birth. penniless and perhaps so estranged
to n that she would be unable TO speak
the language OF that country.
1T is certainly startling TO find such a
piece of legislation upon the statute books
of a Christian country" Judge Lacombe
said concerning this law.

from Albany yesterday that one Of the

The appointment OF guardian ed Item

FURTHER DROP IN COFFEE
Decline Due to Reports OF Finan-
cial Troubles in Brazil.

Coffee prices took another sharp drop IN
the local market yesterday, the declines
running from Il to A. points in the vari-
Gus OPTIONS The break followed severe
slurnp In the Havre market due to rumors,
which were later denied, of financial diff
culties Of leading Brazilian coffee interests
The market was greatly excited during the
early trading. and the bear element had
everything its own way for a time.
The denial OF financial troubles in Brazil
gave the bulls courage, however. and as e
result prices recovered substantially in the
later trading 1t the low point OF the day
prices were about ESQ points down, or prac-
ticauy pa cents pound. from the high
point reached last January. There was
rerort that Eugene G. Scales, the well
known cotton operator. was operating on
the bear side in the coffee market, and that
il was largely due TO his efforts that the
decline in prices IN the last three days has
taken place. This runnor was, however. de-
med by Mr. Scales. who declared emphat-
ically that he was "a cotton man and not a
coffee man." and was not interested In the
coffee market.
Leading coffee men laughed az the re-
rort that the operations OF bear pool had
anything to do with the recent decline in
prices. They said that the reaction was
a natural one and was influenced largely
by the prospects Of a heavy coffee crop In
Brazil.
AS q result of the great activity in the
market the board of governors of the Coffee
EXCHANGE have reconsidered the decision TO
close the exchange tomorrow, Monday be-
ing devoted to the observance Of Lincoln's
Birthday

BIRTHS IN JANUARY. 12,o57
Increase of 462 Over January, 1910,
Nav Be Due TO Better Registration.

The number Of births in the city Of New
York IN January was 12,057, as against
1885 for the same month in 1910. The
increase OF 462 for the first month. during
what is considered by the department as
normal period is thought by Commissioners
Lederle TO be due 10 the activity Of the de-
partment in enforcing the registration Of
births.
The department insists on the reporting
OF births within ten DAYS, but up 10 last
October many physicians waited for weeks
and months before notifying the depart
rient. Since october fifty actions have
been taken against violators of the ordi-
nance. and forty-four OF these ended in
convictions and fines. There arc still fifty
eight cases pending. Only two cases had
been prosecuted by the department from
1905 70 october. 1910.
In regard to the continuance Of the prose-
cutions. Commissioner Lederle said:
1.-THE filing Of all records Of births is a
matter Of more vital Importance to the city
ana its inhabitants than many people real
ize, and the department will continue una
bated its activity in enforcing compliance
with the law

dicted for Customs Frauds.

The refusal Of Alexander Hollander'
customs broker, who was arrested In Ma
pies. Italy. last July and brought back TO
this country for trial, TO plead TO the IN
dlctment returned against him. was over
ruled yesterday by Judge Hand, In the
United States Circuit Court.
Hollander, who was charged with GUS
toms frauds aggregating nearly SOo.Vo' re-
fused to enter a plea on the ground that
the court had no jurisdiction and could not
put him on trial for fraud when he hau
been extradited from Italy on charges Oh
forgery. He said this would constitute
violation OF the treaty between this couh-
try and Italy.
Judge Hand decided that II was no part
OF the courts duties under any circurn-
stances to consider whether or not the
prosecution OF a person brought within the
Jurisdiction by extraditlon proceedings was
a violation OF the treaty between the SOW
eregn and the extraditing power. lie
ruled that the question OF fact whether the
crimes charged In the indictments were
identical with those on which the Italian
government acted should be decided by the
jury before which the Gaze will be tried.
