cough syrup free from whiskey is the
prime need. A cough indicates in

of evils in the enforcement of laws
governing the admittance of European
Jews into the United States and the
suggestions for the amelioratfOn of
these conditions formed the program
of the morning session here today of
the council of American Hebrew con-

A lengthy address criticising immi-
grafton inspectors for seeking now
almost to a man-merely to reach the
results which their superior requires
and urging elimination of abuses was
delivered by Max J. Kohler.
Ex-President Roosevelt, Mayor Gay
nor. Oscar S. Straus, the Rev. Dr.
David Philipson of Cincinnati and
Judge Josiah Cohen of Pittsburg are
on the program for speeches at a ban
quet to be held tonight at the Hotel
Aston.
Jacob H. Schiff will preside.
Charles Nagel, secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
listened attentively to Mr.. Kohler's re-
marks and at their close said:
"More people are coming here but
they with few exceptions are actuated
by the desires and patriotism of earlier
DAYS. The problem today is largely
social and political.I am opposed to
the illiterate test as question of fit
ness for admission of the immigrant.
Take good healthy, uneducated
workman and the fact that he does not
known how to, read and write makes
him all the more desirable, as he will
the quicker assimilate American ideals
and customs and the language of his
adopted country" 7HHE
