FIVE KILLED BY TRAIN.
Two Others Probably Fatally Hurt
When Carriage Is Struck.

DENNISON, Iowa, January 4.-Five
persons were killed and two probably
fatally injured when Chicago and
Northwestern train struck a carriage one
mile from here shortly before midnight
last night. The dead are John Evars and
his six-year-old son, John Reimers. his
wife and five-month- baby.
The injured-John Reimers, aged six,
and Minnie Reimers, aged fourteen-were
taken to q local hospital. where, it is
stated, neither can recover.
A sharp curve at a point just east of
the crossing made it impossible for the
engineer to see the carriage until it was
too late to stop, and it is thought the
noise Of the vehicle made it impossible
for the driver to hear the train ap-
preaching.

So far as the coming of immigrants
from China. Japan and Korea is con-
cerned. conditions are now regarded as
satisfactory. The Chinese exclusion law
operates SO well and the agreement with
Japan is carried out with such good
faith by the Japanese government that
there are no changes recommended by
the immigration commission. But there
is another tide of Asatic immigration
that is giving much concern to the Pa
cific coast This is the stream of hui
mainly coming from India. These East
Indian coolies are Aryans, and belong to
that immigrant tide which swept out of
the cradle of the race far up in north
western Asia and down through the lands
of the Modes and Persians into India.
But, according to the findings of the inn
migration commission, they are, from no
point of view. desirable members of the
community The British government
whose subjects they are. acceded few
years ago to Canada's desire to exclude
them. That turned the tide to the Pa

to induce the British government TO stop
their coming to the United States by the
same policy that Japan prevents Japa-

that there are fewer Chinese in the cities

Favors Legislation.

Senator Gallingers attention having
been called to a statement made by Col.
Judson before the subcommittee OF the
committee on appropriations of the
House yesterday, during the considera-
ton of the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill, in which Col. Judson criti-
cised the method of Incorporating in
situations of learning in the District of
columbia, the senator said that the SUBJ
Ject was not a new one to him. as he
had long believed that something ought
to be done in the way of legislation to
correct the evil.
In that connection he called attention
to d bill, $. 1855. to amend subchapter
one. relating to institutions Of learn
ing, etc, which he introduced into the
Senate January 80. 1912, which bill
was promptly referred to the Commits
sioners of tha-District for examination
and report, but which is still in their
hands.
The senator suggested that it was a
matter requiring very careful consdera-
ton, with a view to intelligent and proper
legislation. and doubtless the Commits
siOnerS are giving it their close attention.
