Department of Labor should be, as ex-
pressed in an address last night at the

Commissioners Newman and Siddons also
addressed the gathering.
Better hours of labor and better wages

rotary Wilson. They are also trying to
get better educational facilities for their
children, better standards of living, SAM

SEEKS SMUGGLING TIP.
Immigration officials Think "Black
Rock" Nav Hold Chinese Secrets.

A Caminetti, commissioner general
of immigration, today telegraphed to
the immigration inspector at Chicago
to make an investigation into the
"black book" found by the Chicago
police Saturday to see if it contained
any evidence of the smuggling OF
Chinese across American borders or
contained information Of the transpor-
tation Of girls for white slave pur-
noses. The book was found by the
notice during their search for a clue
to the identity of the murderer of
Charles Sing. Chinese merchant
there. 1T was apparently the prop
erty of one high in some Chinese
smuggling ring.
Mr. Caminetti said the government
had no thought of taking the investi-
CATION out Of the hands of Chicago
nolice. He also said that in his ex-
perience with Chinese he had found
them to be willy, and he was doubtful
if they would ever put in writing any
thing which could be used against
them. 1t is possible. he added. that the
police have run up against some China
man. secretary of some Chinese or
ganization whose affairs were so great
that he was forced to maintain rec
ord in order to keep tab on his affairs.

CAMP PERRY. Ohio September s.
Palma day is this at the international
rife tournament-the day of the eighth
contest by teams of eight from the
United States and foreign countries for
the historic Palma trophy. This trophy
was first shot for at Creedmore. N. Y,
in 1876, as the Centennial trophy. the
name of which was changed in 1878 in
honor of Senator Palma, who contribut-
ed $1,000 to the fund.
The Palma contest, with the national
army weapons of the respective coun-
tries, fifteen shots at 800. 800 and 1000
yards. entities the winning team to the
long-range championship Of the world.
This distinction the United States has
won four times-at Creedmore, in 1876,
from Ireland. Scotland, Australia and
Canada; at Creedmore, in 1877, from
Great Britain, by ninety-one points-3,334
to $40; at Rockcliffe, Canada, in 1907,
when the United States world record
score of Lip beat the Canadians by
forty-one. Australia by fifty-nine, and
Great Britain by 1874; and again in 1912,
at Rockcliffe, when the / 100 world record
board, by the team of which Capt Ralph
Alderman of the District was a member,
led the Canadians by five points.
Canada won the trophy at Seagirt,
n. j., in 1901, by twenty-eight points
1.522 to ,F94-the first time the army
rifle was used in the match Great Bri-
tain. in 1902. at Rockcliffe, with 1,459, de-
feated the United States by twelve points
L. 59 against 1,H7-when Canada was
third. 1873 At Bisley, in 1903, the United
States score gave it the match, but on
discovering that the rifles used were not
strictly speaking, the service weapon, the
National Rifle Association returned the
trophy.
