To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Hats off to Joe McGinnity; he has
done more for baseball in Newark than
any other manager we ever had, not
excepting George Stallings. Joe liz a
wise thing in bringing that post-season
series to the eyes of the magnates, and
having II adopted. 1t is being talked
about all over and the fans are just
anxious to see how II will turn out. l
for one will see those games no matter
where they are played, and believe me-,
1 have q bunch that they may be
played right In this vicinity, despite
adverse opinion. We haven't got the
team just now on paper, but wait until
the season opens and then do your talk
Ing. Joe McGinnity mas q habit of

ge. a good finish, too.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Every year we hear that the Newark
Club is going to get a system whereby
people who live in different parts of
the city can tell without coming to the
-Four Corners" or going to the grounds
whether a game will be played or not
on a rainy day. l hope that now that
Joe McGinnity has taken the bull by
the horns and Is making some much
needed improvements he will take this
into consideration. The roof OF the
Fireman's building or the STAR office
would be an ideal place. REGGIE.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
While Joe McGinuity probably knows
his own business and whomever he
chooses for the captaincy of the Tigers
will be the right a l would * to
suggest that II be Benny Meyer.
Joe is wise in making special ar
rangements to accommodate the ladies.
He will gain many new friends by his
improvements that will benefit the Ia
dies. Some of these letters written
by the ladies are evidently intended for
Jokes. think hat the writer's were
fooling, for the first thing that a lady
would ask for If she had the nerve TO
ask for all those things would be an
escort. THOMAS J. MAXWELL.

New York. June 1.-Not until Car

boys was responsible for the death of
John Male.

Four of his playmates. from ten to
fourteen years old were arrested, and
while they admitted that he had been
killed by one of the four. each claimed
his own innocence.
Piombino wept as he told the story,
and dropping on his knees called upon
the spirit of his dead friend to forgive
him. He said he had shot Johnny ac-
cidentally while they were struggling
over money. After that the boys con-
fessed they took the dead boys

To Become Two Nations.

New Orleans. La. June 1.-Nicara-

The scheme provides for the making
of Independent republics out of the
Atlantic and Pacific provinces. In the
west the Conservatives would rule,
while the new Atlantic republic would
be dominated by the Liberals who par
'ticipated in the revolution that re-
suited in the deposition OF Zelaya.

IMMIGRANT CROP LIGHT.
Imported Citizens Show Decrease
During Last Twelve Months.

During Last Twelve dmontnS.
Washington June 1.-When the gov
ernment's fiscal year ends, June 80,
and the bureau of immigration starts
to add up the totals for the past
twelve months it probably will be
found that the United States import
ed about 10000 fewer new citizens
than IL did. I'm the preceding year. In
other words. the number of immi-
grants who arrived in this country in
the last six months of 1910 and the
first half of 1917 is not likely to eX-
ceed 100000 The figures for the
prior year is 1.O41,57O.
The only general reason assigned for
this decrease is the smaller demand
for labor of all kinds. Thus 1905, 1906
and 1907 represented the high water
mark for foreigners who came here to
make their homes. Each Of them
passed the million mark, while 1907
reached the high total of 1.235,349.
Following that there were two lean
years. 1908 and 1909. neither of which
showed n total much I'm excess of 15O'
900. Then there was a Jump Of more
than a quarter OF a million ana now
there Is another reaction.
The distribution of these new Amer
leans among the states OF the union
| is an object lesson in economies.
Most of them find their way to the
industrial and commercial centers. II
Is true that several hundred thousand
find their way to the farm land oi
the west and middle west. yet they
are but a small percentage of the
