ENJ0INs N. Y. CENTRAL,
LAKE SHORE BOND ISSUE
New York Judge Holds It to Be Vio-
lation Of Sherman Law in Cap
italizing Consent.

NEW YORK, December 2s.-Justtce
Arthur s. Tompkins Of the supreme
court. sitting in chambers at Nyack,
has handed down a decision granting
an injunction against the New York
Central Railroad Company. restraining
IT from consolidating with the Lake
Shore and from issuing $4,000, ,0OO
consolidated per cent bonds in the
place Of BE per cent bonds. which the
corporation seeks to refund. pending
trial Of the case upon its merits.
The Injunction was asked by the Con-
tinental Securities Company, as, a
stockholder, through ]. AspinWall
Hodge of New York
The action of the plaintiff was based
upon the ground that the proposed is
sue or per cent bonds in exchange
Tor the 3k per cent Lake Shore COL
laterals would be in effect a capitali-
zation of consents given by the Lake
Shore bondholders to the proposed con-
solidation and a violation of the Sher-
man law. Justice Tompkins, in his de-
cision. said:
Il cannot avoid the conclusion that
an added burden of between $500, 600
and 100000 each year for a period of
nearly eighty-f1ve years. by way of
fixed interest charges, materially in
creases the debt of the consolidated
companies, and, in effect, is an issue OF
bonds as a consideration for the con-
sents necessary to bring about the
consolidation"
This he held was violation of the
railroad law
New York Central officials said that
the decision could not undo the con-
solidation with the Lake Shore as that
had already been approved.

COL. ROOSEVELT VISITS
NY. CITY LODGING HOUSE
Shakes Hands With Inmates, Cues
tions Them and Samples
the Pea Soup.

NEW YORK. December 2s.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt visited the mu-
nicipal lodging house last night. About
ESQ men were in line waiting to get
supper tickets when he arrived in a. big
automobile. He shook hands with
many of them. addressing some by
name He did not explain how he hap
pened to know them.
When he entered the dining room.
where he took a seat, Col. Roosevelt
found 200 more of the city's homeless
at supper.
Gee, it's pretty hard times when a
former President has to come here for
something to eat" one of the dodgers
remarked.
Col. Roosevelt Joined in the laugh.
and smacking his lips over a bowl of
pea soup. exclaimed, That's bully"
The former President spent more
than an hour inspecting the lodging
house. In all parts OF the building he
aimed a rapid fire of questions at the
men, asking them their occupations.
where they came from, when they
worked last and their chances OF find
ing employment. For the most part
the men took his questions in good
part and answered them frankly.
Although Col. Roosevelt would not
explain the purpose of his visit, it was
said he intended to deliver series of
lectures on the question of unemploy-
ment, the proceeds to be given to the
city in which he speaks, in order to
provide work for those who are jobless.

for instance, from one examined at
Wilmington, n. c.. to 1,009,S54 at the
port of New York during the last fiscal
year. In addition to this. S0,322 immi
grants arrived at Boston. 40.24S at Bal
timore and 60,4S3 at Philadelphia dur
ing the last fiscal year, the total being
as stated above.
As a result of the examination of the
aforementioned 1,4S5,957 immigrants
41,236 were certified as having diseases
either deportable or reportable under
the immigration laws. In order to
give the medical examination to such a
large number of immigrants 1t is nee
essary that the officers of the public
health service detailed for this duty be
specialists in the various lines of dis
eases.
These officers, when they examine
large numbers of immigrants, at once
seek first to eliminate the perfectly
sound persons which they are able to
do with remarkable accuracy on ac-
count of their long practice. The re-
naming immigrants are then disposed
of in the order of the Importance of
their diseases. For example, if an i'm
migrant has slight deformity which
will not bar him from entering the
country he is detained only long
enough .or a record to be made of this
deformity. This soon leaves only those
immigrants who are to be subjected to
a careful examination to determine
whether they are likely to become pub
lie charges If admitted to the country.

IMMIGRANTS REACHING U. S.
TOTAL 1,485, ,957 IN YEAR
Public Health Service Shows Great
Difaculty In Medically In
specting All.

Railways and steamship lines brought
into the United States in the last fiscal
year a total of 1,4s5,957 immigrants, ac-
cording to a statement of the public
health service, just issued. These immi-
grants entered this country at eighty
points of entry, including twenty-five sea-
ports, and they came to the land of the
free from twenty-five different foreign
gorts.
These figures are given in the public
health services statement to show the
magnitude Of the task of medically in
specting the vast horde of aliens that
enter the United States each year More
than 100 steamship lines bring immigrants
10 this country, and by reason of the
fact that some of the ocean lines have
vessels arriving at from two to five
American ports, it has been found that
there are 173 lines Of immigrant travel
from foreign countries to the shores of
Uncle Sans domain.

Apparent Duty of Congress.

1T would seem to be the duty of
Congress-, having absolute jurisdiction,
to contribute largely toward the main
tenance of Washington. Every man is
obliged to support his home. and natur-
ally the nation is called upon to care
for the home of it's government.
Without the consent of our land
owners. everything here is, very prop
erly, dictated by Congress upon a ma
tional scale of Importance commensu-
rate with the needs and gratifying to
the pride and interest which the peo-
pie of the United States have in their
capital city. Therefore, as Washing
ton and the demands of Washington
are national and cannot be compared
with any other city in this country,
there is consequently a duty and an
States, representing millions Of people,
to contribute to and assist the few
thousand taxpayers who happen to
own property here in their effort to
make Washington what it ought to
be.
TT would appear to be absolutely
necessary that Congress should do one
or the other of two things: Either per-
nit the taxpayers to dictate their own
improvements, collect their own taxes
ond disburse the proceeds as they may
deem judicious and proper (and this. we
apprehend. Congress will not do, and
perhaps ought not to do), or. on the other
hand, continue in the future, as it has
in the past (Which, we submit, is rea-
sonable and proper). to control, regu-
late, and prescribe everything pertain

as heretofore, its proper proportion OF
the cost. Surely. to deprive American
