IMMIGRATION.
REDISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

some sort of a system of distribution of
immigrants is to be had in map prepared
by Peter Roberts. He takes a United
States map and draws "a line from At
lantic City. to the southeastern corners of
Illinois. Then he draws another line from
that point to the northwestern corner of
Minnesota. The little slice of territory
inside this angle bears about the same
relation to the whole United States as
one slice of pie to a whole pie--it repre-
sents only little more than one-siNth
of the country's area, and yet within
that comparatively small territory live
grafton to America.
The work Of the division of information
OF the bureau OF immigration affords an
interesting indication of what may be
done in the direction of distributing inrmi-
grants. and of the interest immigrants
themselves take in the work. More than
10000 applicants received information
during the year 1911, and it is estimated
by Chief Powderly that these applications
represented at least loo, 600 immigrants.
The division directs no skilled craftsmen.
miners or other underground workers. 1t
simply gave them information as to places
where they could settle in villages and
towns. where they could follow other lines
of activity and avail themselves of gar
den plats and low house rent. The d.
vision does not arrange contracts for en-
ployment, but simply gets a list of
reputable employers who need help, and
furnishes a medium through which the
man who needs work can be brought into
touch with the man who needs help.
In addition to this the division gathers
and disseminates information concern
ing the resources, products and physical
characteristics of the various states. CIV
ing the immigrant the name and address
of the state official in each state, whose
duty it is to encourage and aid immigra-
ton into the state. Its work has been
highly Endorsed by the Southern CONNER
cial Congress and by the National Board
Of Trade. which also strongly Endorsed
the recommendation of President. Taft
that immigrant stations be established at
one more additional gulf and south At,
lantic ports with view to turning part
of the incoming tide away from New
York.

of Eighteen Year Term.

EBENSBURG. Pa. December 21.-
that's hell of sentence! I'd rather
b hanged than go to the pen for that

the Western penitentiary for the murder
of Michael Bradley in Lily last May.
krumenacher was put on trial We'd

pleaded to the charge OF murder he de-
clared he was guilty. His attorney plead
ed mot guilty for him. and Krumen-
acher ordered John II. Mccain. the law

To accept his plea of guilty and made him
stand trial
Experts We're called to prove that he
was insane at the time of the murder.
krumenacher's mother testified 10 the same
thing. This so angered the slayer that
when his mother went to the Jail to say
goodbye to him he refused to talk to her.
Krumenacher believes that only through
being hanged can be atone for the killing
of Bradley.

TULSA, Okla, December 21.-Tradition
and sentiment have saved a giant tree
known as the Creek council tree, which
stands in the center of South Cheyenne

the old council ground in Georgia when
the Creeks came to the Indian Territory
more than seventy-ffve years ago. Where
the tree stands the first important meet

Work of Supreme Court.

At last nights session Attorney Cen
eral George w. Wickerham spoke on the
Supreme Court and the successful man
ner in which it has settled disputes be-
tween the states. He said in part:
Confidence. general public confidence
in the learning, 1mpartial.ty and integrity
of the justices of the Supreme Court has
made possible the continued exercise by
them of the high jurisdiction We have
been considering. No one can imagine
that If these Judges had been chosen by
popular election for short terms they
could possibly have maintained the high
standard of. impartiality and freedom
from the influence of momentary popular
prejud &c which has characterized. this
great tribunal from it's foundation.
Surely it is humanity possible to estab-
lish and maintain a tribunal of equal
merit for the purpose of deciding ques-
tons arising between sovere'gntleS less
closely united than the states of the
American Union.
Strong terms were used by Everett p.
Wheeler of New York in placing before
the conference his argument last night
urging that the United States is bound
by all Of its treaty obligations with
Great Britain to submit to the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague the
determination OF the question of tolls on
shipping through the Panama canal.

w. C. Dennis Speaks.

W. c. Dennis of Washington in his
speech referred to the discussion which
all attempts to codify municipal law have
created, and pointed out that interna-
tional law was peculiarly in need of unity,
which is the great virtue OF a code, but
said that this uniformity may he pur-
chased at too great d cost. Each ration
must decide whether or not il can afford
to sacrifice its own peculiar views III
order to adopt an international code.
Addresses were also delivered today by
Prof Henry W. Rogers. dean of the Law

Various Views of
Subject Taken.

They point out that the same fear was
expressed when his own people began
to come and continued to come to Amer
ica but that American wages are higher
and American workingmen's standards OF
living are better than they We're before.
Likewise they point out that nearly 30
per cent of the immigration from many
southern and eastern European countries
comes to us from the village and the
farm. and that to say they are not phys
iCally or mentally fitted for anything else
than to herd in congested communities
is not just statement.
1t is further pointed ont by those who
oppose the conclusions of Mr.. Keefe that
neither Congress nor the immigration
commission has agreed with him, but
have taken the opposite view. Congress
created a bureau of Information for
the purpose of collecting information cont
corning opportunities for immigrants and
dissemina ting it among them. with Il
view to encouraging beneficial distribt1-
ton of immigrants The main purpose
was to cooperate with the several states
in acquaintin immigrants with their adj
vantaGeS.

Reason for Seeking
Congested Cities.

where 1t says that "a large part of th'
immigrants were agricultural laborers at
home, and their immigration is due to
desire to escape the low economic condl-
lions which attend agricultural pursuits
in the countries from which they come
With no knowledge of other conditions,
il is but natural, therefore, that they
should seek another line of activity IN
this country.
1t is pointed out that the thing to do
is to plant the immigrant where he can
secure a plot of ground and build a
house on it, because there goes on most
RAPIDLY the process of characterization.

MACRAME HANDBAG IS LIKED
Especially With Evening Wear They Make Most Charming Addl-
 ton to the Toilette.

We have developed a new mania for macrame handbags, and for eve ming wear these represent charming addition to the toilette. The founda tion of the bag is carried out in ivory or colored poplin, or some other stout silk, the macrame lace completely covering the whole, and being finished with deep fringe at the base. These bags are looked upon as fully worthy of the handsome gold and silver mounts which form part of the scheme. Many women, who are clever with their fingers and naturally fond of work of this kind, find it very sim. pie matter to evolve the bag them. selves. Another type of bag which is popular is entirely covered with strass and beadwork, in rich and multi-col ored designs, and this is also often the fruit of the girls industry when emancipated from the routine of school work.

IITTIE NICETIES FOR BABY
Manufacturers Constantly Engaged In Turning Out Pretty Articles
 That Find Ready Sale.

The fascinating little afghans for the baby's carriage are made of white handkerchief linen. First a strip of the material is cut into three-quarter wide by one and one-half yard long proportions, then a half yard of the length is turned back from what is to be the upper end of the spread.
 This turnover is daintily embroid cred in white and trimmed at either end with huge bows of pink or blue satin ribbon. The lower end is rather more closely hand-embroidered and finally the entire afghan, including the folded over edge, is bordered with wide cluny, put on flatly.
 One of the most substantial and effective afghans is made of macrame of appearance similar to those oi handkerchief linen. But instead ot folding over the top of yard and a half long strip of the macrame all over, the apparent turnback wells coarse unbleached nets, and to this is attached the under section, after which the macrame edging is sewet fiatly upon/the sides of the entir, spread.

FRAGlLlTY OUT OF FASHION
Girls of Today Seek Health and Take the Right Way 70 Secure
 the Blessing.

It is no longer fashionable with the fair sex to feign delicacy, nor are the girls of the coming generation actuat- ed by an insane desire to appear fra gile and genteel at the expense of health. The scores of buxom, bright eyed young ladies one will meet in any of our public thoroughfares any afternoon is ample evidence of the truth of the assertion, says Woman's Life. No longer do the fair ones seem wan and pale to look upon, nor is their style of locomotion suggestive of eff fort; but, on the contrary, nearly all seem strong and 1.-the of limb, and with cheeks suffused with the ruddy glow of health. Doctors generally agree that there is far less sickness among the sex than had formerly been the case, and this could be attributed solely to the glorious practice young , ladies have of late acquired of testing their capabilities as pedestrians, and in engaging in other forms of light physical exercise. It is to be hoped that the good work will go on.

UMBRELLA CASE OF VALUE
Idea Is to Match the Costume, and the Vogue Is Rapidly Becoming
 Fashionable.

Because of the tremendous vogue Of velvets and the number of cos tunes in that material that are being made up, the velvet-encased umbrella has come into being. Made on a slender but substantial frame, which folds closely. and covered with silk taffets spread, the umbrella when closed and encased appears like a walking stick of velvet from ferrule 10 top. A solid silver monogram plate caps the handle. which, ten inches down it's length, is ornamented with a double ring of silver.
 Decided colors are now the smart thing in silk umbrellas. All the fash ionable shades of purple, blue, mauve and the new reds are in demand for spreads, which are mounted upon frames that press tightly about a slender stick and give the convenience the appearance Of siiken cane. This fashionable fad is to procure unique handle for the umbrella that is car ried with the tailored walking suit, and while some of the effects are ar tistic, others are actually bizarre. Among the latter are the cat, parrot and monkey heads in natural colors with jewels for eyes. In the former class are all manner of beautifully carved handles of rare woods and ivory, and when money is not an ob- tect, of jade, amber, rock crystal or solid silver and gold.

coIored Caps.

A rather daring departure has been made in the matter of boudoir caps. Aside from the finest Irish linen and lace of the same manufacture. colored ribbons are now being run through the lace openings at the bottom of the cap. and in some cases caps of gayly colored linen, with white lace, are being shown. This is strikingiy new, because of the fact that white has al ways been the predominating color for morning cap. In the ,colored caps Irish linen is not being used These caps may last, but 1t Is unlikely as milady is discriminating and may refuse to depart from the elegant white linen cap.

 Nearly all ruffs are fastened with loops and ends of velvet ribbon Some times these are long and heavy but this Is not usual. Short smart bows are just as good. Narrow velvet rib bons in rosettes and many falling ends, or narrow satin ribbon of good quality make equally effective finish ings, all depending on the taste of the wearer.
