Conducted.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-With the air
OF an expert Investigator, President
elect Wilson examined the immigra-
tion bureau Of Uncle Sam at Ellis
Island today.
From end to end of the huge build
ing he went, noting the methods for
government inspectors, watching
keenly the expressions Of those who
gained or were denied admission to
the United States and quizzing any
and all with whom he came into con-
tact
Il am here for information; not for
/ thought" he said.
In contrast to the impassive de-
meanor of the president-elect was
the impulsive, almost childish interest
of his two daughters, Eleanor and
Jessie, who were quick to show the
4 effect made upon them by the actions
! of those detained in the ward rooms
! of the station. Mrs. Wilson, too, was
demonstratiye at times, especially
when the party stopped to witness
the meetings of those who had come
across the sea to join relatives and
| friends.
/ The trip to Ellis Island was suggest
ed by Mrs. Caroline r. Alexander, .
4 personal friend of Mrs. Wilson. The
party included Mr.. and Mrs. Douglai
Robinson, Mayor III. Wittpen of Jer
sey City, Mrs. H. Borden Hartman

i lsey. Rev. T. A. Conover of Bernards
Vile, N. J., Mrs. G. Grant Lafarge
! Prof. r. Meeker of Princeton Uni
! versity, Mrs. Wilson, wife of the
president-elect, and the Misses VIII

i Landing at the island shortly before
noon, the party was escorted to the
Immigration building by Commission
er of Immigration William H. vii
liams. In quick succession they visit
ed the departments where prospective
i aliens are examined as to their ply
sical and mental conditions. Governor
Wilson listened attentively while
the inspectors asked a stout Ger

his parents were, who was the king o.

and many other questions.
At the special board of inquiry, the
president-elect witnessed the forma

Jealousy is the arrow Of
criticism. Don't complain if
an iaterloper comes into your
town and makes a business sue
cess. Successes make cities.
Ultra conservatism is the We
hicle that never varies from
the beaten path, never ven
lures, never tries anything
new. An occasional Rufus
Wallingford is sometimes the
salvation Of a community.
Ample school facilities new
er caused an exodus. Bond is
sues are the means to an end.
Sanitation and sense, buildings
and brains, sufficiency and ef-
ficiency, industry and integ-
rity, push and perseverance
form mutual CO. partnerships.
Many an Indebtedness form
ed the foundation for a for
tune. Every city in the land

Bluff is the prod that has
built more than one industry.
Aggressive competition puts a

Curb your criticism unless

Work where you are best

ward comes to the man who is

LONDON, Jan. 25. Hope for speedy
eace in the Balkans was greatly
rengthened here tonight by the fall
re Of the Balkan peace envoy to
srminate peace negotiations, and by
he declaration by. the Turks that they
elieved the st. James palace confer.
pce would be resumed next week.
The Balkan delegates, called togeth-
BY Dr.. s. Daneff. the Bulgarian
hIef plenipotentiary, held meeting
tie this afternoon, but 1t was unpro-
uctiye OF definite action, because the
fontenegrins had not received In

food that all OF the other representa-
Ives OF the allies were given carte
lanche instructions to act in accord
nee with their best judgments. They
herefore had discretionary powers to
resk off negotiations and that they
i'd not do SO was regarded as prom
b.
sing for peace.
The delegates stated that they plan
led t. meet again tomorrow after
Don, when the Montenegrins hoped
have instructions similar to those
iven their associates.
The Turkish plenipotentiaries did
pt meet any Of the Balkan delegates
pday and took no formal action Of
