IMMIGRATION CHARGES
Labor officials Give Out Facts on
Which Will Be Based Inquiry Into
Personnel of the Service.
SEVEN COUNTS AGAINST LARNED

The Department Of Labor yesterday
gave out the preliminary information al
hand upon which will be based an in
vestigation OF the personnel OF the i'm
migration service. predicated upon
charges against Immigrant Inspector
Frank H. Ainsworth. of the San Fran
cisco station. and the counter-charges
made by that oficial against the As
sistant Commissioner General OF Immi-
grafton, down to the incompetency OF
subordinate officers Of the service.
Charges preferred against Inspector
Ainsworth were of conduct unbecomins
an officer OF the government" under
which were specified the acceptance of
certain foodstuffs for the use Of his fam
lily at less than cost price from con-
tractors at the Angel Island station In
San Francisco harbor. and the accept
ance from the Federation of Federal
Civil Service Employees OF reimburse
ment Of hotel expenses while in Wash
ington. acting as the representative of
that organization. when in point Of fact
the expenses Of the inspectors trip to
Washington had been paid by the Fed
eral government
Inspector Ainsworth came back with
the charge that Assistant Commissioner
Gen. Larned had been guilty Of NAL
feasance in office under no less than sew
en- counts. He charged him with Sc
lecting an inappropriate site for an i'm
migration station at Baltimore. He add
ed TO this charge that Mr.. Larned had
accepted valuable presents from Chinese
He charged that Mr.. Larned had misled
the department in releasing from arrest
two aliens under arrest coupling the
charge with the inference that Mr. Lar
ned had received 4 valuable considera-
ton for his action. He charged
Mr.. Larned with incompetency as
fourth allegation. basing his
attack upon the instance Of the selection
OF the Baltimore station. Also he charged
Mr.. Larned with being ''dissolute." but he
did not specify in this regard. His sixth
charge had to do with the improper fur
nishing of outside parties with informa-
tion concerning official matters, and
lastly, he alleged that Mr.. Larned had
been neglectful OF his official duties in
failing to institute criminal prosecution
in addition to the deportation of an alien
who had once returned to the United
States after previously having been de-
ported.
Also, Inspector Ainswo-th attacked In
spectors O'DonnelI. HeberIe and Taylor
To the foregoing the inspector added
the general charge that Assistant Com
missioner Larned and Inspectors O'Don-
nell. Taylor. and Heberle had conspired
to injUre him.

FOOTBALL GAME
UP TO congress
Two Bills Offered to Stage
Annual Army and Navy
Battle Here.
SUCCESS SEEMS CERTAIN

Measures Fear Little Opposition
In House or Senate.
SUCCESS SEEMS CERTAIN

Definite action in the campaign to Sc
cure the Army-Navy football game for
Washington, as an annual fall event,
was taken yesterday when Identical bills
were introduced in the House and Senate
providing for the staging of the annual
battle in this city. The introduction OF
the bills was the direct result Of the
combined activity of the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce. the War Depart
nent and the Army and Navy Athletic
Association.
Members Of the trade bodies, which
have been working to secure the Army
Navy game for Washington, yesterday
were encouraged over the Introduction Of
the bills and the attitude OF members
OF both houses toward them. Private
and careful canvass during the last few
weeks has, indicated that there Is little
concerted opposition to the plan.
Mr.. Mann Causes Worry.
The attitude Of Minority Leader James
r. Mann is causing some worry. as Mr..
Mann has declared that he Is not par
ticularly enamored OF the plan He has
not, however, come out openly in opposl-
ton.
The feature of the plan as it now
stands, which is OF greatest interest to
Washingtonians. is that no money guar

The House bill, introduced by Repre-

one OF the Republican leaders on the
ground that public parks should not be
turned over for such uses. This opposI-
ton is not expected to seriously hinder
