LABOR AGAINST ASIATlCS'
A. F. of L. Wants Japanese
Barred from Citizenship.

The American Federation Of Labor,
making IT'S observations from workers
In the lesser skilled trades in the fed
GRAFTON. approves OF the immigration
measures before Congress. and wants
the laws restricting Chinese naturaliza-
ton extended TO all Asiatics. The i'm
portance Of this attitude. according 10
J. w. Sullivan. editor of The Fedora
ZIONIST" who spoke at Judson Hall yes
terday. IS that 81 or 90 per cent of the
Immigrants themselves enter these less
er skilled trades.
In their swarm organization lies
the strength Of the Japanese, and la
borers who move by swarm. living in a
bunk house on a rice diet and with one
suit, can "underlve" and so survive the
American laborer. This was Mr.. Sulll-
vans explanation of the unions objec-
ton to the Orientals.
With such an organizat ion, the Japan
csc can lay siege 10 the real estate or
the labor situation Of district and re-
duce values by as much as IS per cent.
Further charges against the Asiatics
were that the traditions OF centuries
make Il impossible for them TO change
their domestic institutions and their love
for imperial government-the important
factors In the assimilation of group OF
immigrants.

LEG WORTH OVER $4,000
Judge Hand Criticises Jurys
Damage Suit Verdict.

Judge Hand. of the Federal District
Uourt, yesterday refused TO set aside the
verdict Of 5000 obtained by Michael
Sharon, laborer, against the Mason e.
Hanger Company, which has a contract
Tor section Of the Catskin Aqueduct.
As result of an accident while at work,
Sharon lost leg, and he sued for dam
ages Judge Hand said:
Il must confess that | cannot see how
twelve men could suppose that 5000 was
an adequate compensation for the loss
OF leg ana the attendant suffering this
man has endured. The plaintiffs wages
were 81 day. which. at six DAYS a
week. would be 1924 a year. 81 he were
employed regularly and all the while.
The sum Of $4,000 taken at per cent
would buy for him a yearly income Of

number Of suggestions. based on his own
done. and on his having removed 1913
cubic yards of snow at his own expense
from the block in which he lives.
He suggests that the city should have a
number OF storage battery sweepers, and
says that fifteen OF them would keep
Fifth avenue clear up to 10th street

street.
His other suggestions are that removal
should begin AT the river: that carts and
laborers should be proportioned. so that
the men would not have To fiddle about
waiting for carts, as he had seen them
doing: that more use should be made OF
the sewers; that the police should pre-
vent trucks from getting I'm the way ~

cles should be made an offence, and that
the Dock Department should provide more
dumps and the removers be shown where

Mr.. Whitridge SAYS that one day he saw
fifteen or sixteen carts go half a mile
when the Harlem River was not fifty

FISH AND SNAKES
IN QUEENS WATER
Foreign Matter in Drink Leads to
Dispute Between Connolly
and Walsh.

Fish snakes. lizards, decaying vege-
table matter and mud. according TO AS
toria folk, are plentiful in the water sup
piled 10 their section. This condition.
they declare, has prevailed since last fall.
when the Water Department shut down
several pumping stations in Long Island
City and began TO supply the district with
water from Brooklyn.
AT recent conference physicians de-
cided that if action were not taken soon
by the city TO remedy conditions they
would do so themselves They decided 10
bottle up some of the water and send il
TO Mayor Mitchell. and the bottles will
arrive at the City Hall early next week.
As result Of this condition a controver>
sy has arisen between Maurice h. Con-
molly, Borough President of Queens, and
the officials Of the Water Department
The Borough President has 10 control
over the water supply. but the people
called upon Mr.. Connolly for help, so
he sent chemists TO analyze samples Of
water. They reported that the water was
not At for use.
President Connolly submitted th. re-
port TO Deputy Commissioner NJ p.
Walsh, Of the Queens Water Bureau. Mr.
Walsh replied that chemists of his depart
ment had made frequent analyses ana
found absolutely nothing the matter with
the water. The commissioner said all the
employees in his Office were drinking il,
and none had shown any i'll effects.
President Connolly sent yesterday
communication TO Mr.. Walsh, stating
that he had commissioned his chemists to
make another examination OF the water
and requested that representatives Of
the Water Department accompany his
men and supervise the analysis that will
be made.

ECKERT CONTEST UPHELD
Sons to Share Alike in Estate
of Telegraph Man.

The verdict Of a Supreme Court Jury
that declared void the will Of General
Thomas +. Eckert, who was president Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
was upheld by the Appellate Division yes
terday.
The will OF General Eckert gave his son,
Thomas r. Eckert. the bulk of the estate,
valued at about 81. 10000. James Glen
denim Eckert, another son, who received
$1,000 outright in the will Of his father
and the life interest in S1OOGo contested
the will in the Surrogates' Court where
the instrument was upheld.
The contesting son thereupon brought a
suit in the Supreme Court. He alleged
influence on the part OF his brother over
General Eckert and alleged that the tes-
tator was not sufficiently strong in mind
10 overcome the influences exerted by his
son Thomas. The jury gave a verdict i'm
favor of breaking the will. which, now
being upheld. will give James C1endenn
Eckert the same share IN the estate that
HIS brother will receive
Justice Mclaughlin, who wrote the
opinion of the Appellate Division said.
The evidence fairly showed a testator.

ROGUE LIVES As OFFICER
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 24-A rogue with a
sense of humor has played a double
trick on a military officer and on the
landlord of a workingmans hotel at
Sheffield, which has made both men
the laughing stock of Yorkshire.
The officer in command at the Shelf
field barracks received one day re-
Gently an invitation by telephone to
billet 800 recruits at a new working
mans hotel owned by ap rominent
citizen. The officer was, of course,
accepted. The manager of the hotel
was then called up by the same voice
and ordered to prepare quarters as
we'll as supper for 300 recruits under
his majesty's transport officer Ridley.
The men arrived and so did the mys-
FERROUS Transport officer Ridley" who
thereupon chose one recruit to shave
him, another to clean his boots, while
third was placed as sentry at the
door with orders to keep absolute
quiet in the hall while the commander
slept. Ridley's next order was to post
this notice:
"This is a military institution, and
the men are under the authority of MIR.
Ridley, transport officer. If he calls
upon any man to perform any action
he is bound to do SO, else he will be
guilty of crime against military law,
for which he will be punished by the
military authorities"
Transport officer Ridley remained
several days in unquestioned command,
when he became i'll. As he refused to
have doctor, the manager Of the hos
tel telephoned to the barracks. A real
officer appeared, and to enlighten him,
Ridley produced a note purporting to
bear captains signature. The officer
left for further investigation, where
upon Ridley left the hotel and ldisap-
peared
