DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

Commissioner Of immigration Caminet-
Il returned to the department Monday
after an official visit to Ellis Island.
Oficials Of the immigration bureau are
wondering over the following story, which
comes from Ellis Island:
It appears there was a certain young
Japanese at the station, who was being
held for deportation. the charge against
him being that he was mentally unsound.
HIS mania was to commit suicide.
However, being an inveterate cigarette
smoker, he could not depart this life
without q farewell smoke.
Il will smoke one more cigarette. he
declared calmly, in a tone Of voice that
indicated that after the last puff had gone
up in smoke he would likewise pass away
with evident enjoyment the young
Japanese blew clouds Of aromatic smoke
into the air. Little by little the cigar
cite was consumed. At length the last
puff was reached. The young fellow
threw the stub from him. Then
Well, he did not commit suicide. Now
what thte immigration officials are won
dering about is whether the cigarette had
ANYTHING to do with II or not.

Despite the failure Of the fasteners to

quested by chairman Shelter, who per-
sOnaUy closed the arrangements in New
York, those working for the races here be-
lieve that by concerted effort the races can
be made the biggest racing boost southern
California ever has had
Bad weather served to make these races
a failure when held in Milwaukee, October

money which still is due him Savannah at

the conditions imposed kept the racers alOof
and the races were called off
That the races will attract the largest en-
try list in their history when held at Santa
Monica is the belief of those in charge. The
entrance fees have been literally sliced and
the purses offered are the largest ever Civ
en- for the events.
And Santa Monica purses are paid. A
new record was set at the course last Au-
gust when $4,000 was paid out to the
race winners With the exception of the
July 4 race, this is the largest purse eveF
paid for a road contest in the history OF
automObiling The racers over the county
generally know this. They know that what
they win they viii receive.
Much has depended on chairman Shelter
in getting entries At the New York show
he had opportunity to get into direct touch
with all the speed teams Of the country.
Also he opened up negotiations with for
eign teams.

The purpose Of this road is to provide
for the commercial possibilities Of the San

the road so attractive from q scenic stand
point that transcOntinental motorists will
follow it on their way 70 the Pacific coast
In order to make this a through route, the
Old Spanish Trail association is proposing to
improve the road from Pueblo through

Connecting with the transcOntinental sys-
tenn the new route may enter Los Angeles
by way of Needles BarstOW, NictOrVille, San

wards. The Improvement of the road from
Needles to Los Angeles has been steadily
going on, and with the bonds shortly to be

more funds for this line Of travel, it is
assured that all present difficulties will be
eliminated.

That the highway commission Of Colorado
is IN favor Of the route is shown in the fol-
lowing statements from a letter written tC

Of the Colorado advisory board:
1.-THE Durango section Of Colorado is very
much interested in a highway connecting

strucGOn from Denver to Durango and
through to Mesa Verde park, or the Cliff

now putting in bridge across the San Juan
