ONDON, Eng, Aug. 6.-From ter
to fifteen thousand men and wo-
! - men are turned away from the
| portals of the United States every year
| and sent back to the countries whence
! they came, in theih ende2vor to enter
the land Of promise. The reason Is
that they do not meet the requirements
set for immigrants by the American
authorities.
This condition constitutes one Of the
most difficult problems faced by the
American department of labor, and In
an effort to solve it, the department
mas sent W. W. Husband, one of its spe-
clal agents, to Investigate and report
on emigration conditions in England
and on the continent
Every year, in spite of the efforts OF
the steamship companies to exclude
such passengers from their lists, near
" l5,OO0 immigrants see the gates of
Ellis island closed against them, and
with the earnings of years swept away
by the expense Of the voyage, they are
compelled to resume the battle of life
under the conditions from which they
sought to escape by immigration. The
department does not either desire or
seek, according to Mr., Husband, the
lowering OF the present standards, but
secretary Wilson is anxious to devise
Ier1ng incident to being turned back
after sighting the shores of the prom
lSed land may be prevented. In an eff
Tort to do this. special agent Husband
VIII Investigate the booking of pro-
SpecIlVe immigrants by transportation
agents, with the idea of devising some
method whereby only those who are
pracucally certain Of entry into the
United States will be permitted to en-
bark on this side of the water.
Women Fool Detectives.
1t is so easy for the suffragets TO
hoodWink Scotland yard that the wo-
men are wearying of the sport
The latest case is that of Ewry Clay
ton The police were after Ewry, who
was critically i'll, and to make sure he
would not escape, they posted detect
ives to guard his house night and
day As soon as he recovered suffici-
emily to walk abroad he was to be
gathered in. Every day members of
the suffraget organization visited
the Clayton cottage, bearing fruits, jel-
" and flowers for the sick man. The
police felt secure as they saw the suf
Iragets come and go; they would get
their man on his recovery. Finally the
visits Of the women ceased. The pO-
lice. wondering, drew their ranks closer
and finally entered the house. EWry
was not there but in America The
house was filled with flowers. fruits
and jelly, enough to last Mrs Clayton
for weeks to come. EWry had slipped
away and taken a steamer a fortnight
back, and the daily visits of the women
were simply a blind
The suffragets took all this trouble
for Mr.. Clayton because he is the chem
1st who was sentenced to penal servi-
tude on q charge of cOnspiring with
the members of the WOmen's Social
and Political union IN that he supplied
them with explosives for some of their
arson Outrages. He went on hunger
strike" and was released under the pro-
visions Of the cat and mouse bill" He
went home i'll, and Scotland Yard was
watching to rearrest hiEl when the
WOmens ruse was put into such sue
cessful operation
The leaders of the militants declare
they did not desire the sacrifice Of
mans life in their cause and, when they
were informed by his physician that q
return to jail would probably result
in Mr.. Clayton's death, they persuaded
him through the mediation of his wife
TO leave the country They viii not say
where he is, cOntenting themselves
with the statement that he is safely 10
Gated at least 1000 miles from London.
Censured for Paying Fine.
The payment Of a fine by Miss Zelie
Emerson, when she was arrested for
assaulting the police in connection with
Sylvia Pankhurst's Downing street
riot has caused the American suffra-
gets to lose caste with some of the rul-
ing powers, and 1t is said that only her
saved her from being disciplined by the
war cabinet Of the ". S. P. y.
A number of the militants asserted
that in refusing to go to jail, Miss En-
erson gave the impression to the public
that the morale of the forefront of the
fighting line of the organization was
weakening at the very moment that It
IS straining every effort to nullify the
effect of the 'cat and mouse bill The
Michigan girls first term in jail, when
she was forcibly fed, was the result of
q. raid she made with Sylvia Pankhurst
on the windows Of Bow and Bromley,
since which time she has enjoyed a
close friendship with the Pankhurst
family Shortly after her release after
a. prolonged hunger strike, Miss Emer-
son was operated on for appedicitis and
she defends her course in paying a fine
by asserting that even a. brief stay in
jail at this time would so impair her
health that she would be unable to take
her place on the firing line for many
months to come She feels that she
can be Of more assistance out of rather
than in Jail
