Quay Renews Attack on Finn

Philadelphia, Oct. 16.-"'We arraipn

Progressive party almost at its birth. .
''Wc hail Mr.. Finn as the new boss

These quotations are the keynotes Of
statement last night issued by Rich
ard r. Quay. of Pittsburgh, Roosevelt
delegate to the Republican National
Convention of 1912 and Washington
party leader since the start of the
Progressive movement. With the issu-
ance of that statement, under the aus

allegiance to the Finn leadership in
the Washington party and reioined hi,

father, the late Senator Matthew Stan

A part of Mr.. Quay's statement wa
copy of letter he wrote to Colonel
Roosevelt on September II. In that
letter Mr.. Quay recited, for the benefit
OF the. Colonel, the secret political
manipulations of Finn which finally
led to the so-called g fusion deal' with
the Democratic State leaders, by which
William Draper Lewis, Washington
party nominee for Governor, withdrew
in favor of Vance c. Mccormick.
Quay spoke thus of lPinchot, one of
the Colonel's close friends:

the German invasion of their country
has created.
The British press to-day is inclined

The arrival of the Germans near Os.
tend, however, straightens out their
line in Belgium so it runs almost due

WASHINGTON IRISH?

A few years ago a ST. Louis clergy
man spent his vacation days in
Europe trying to trace the Washing
ton ancestry back to the earliest
Norman King of England Washing
ton was not fond of kings, and he
would have taken no pride in rela-
tionship to a brigand king like Will
lam |. But a genealogist once did
worse than this for the Father of His
Country He traced Washington's an
cestry back to Odin, who is identical
with the deplorable Wotan of Die
Walkure" and a parsonage of most
Objectionable morals. AS a matter of
fact there are more Washingtons in
the County of Roscommon, Ireland,
than in all the English-spealSing world
combined. and the facial resemblance
of those Irish Washingtons to our
first President is, to say the least
very remarkable. Immigrants from
all parts of Ireland settled in Virginia
and the Carolinas in the early days
Why not the Washingtons of Roscom-
mon? And George Washington noted
partially for that race lends weight
to the suggestion. The first Presi-
dents relationship to a somewhat dis
tinguished North of England family
has never been satisfactorily settled.
George Washington, however, had a
decent and law-abiding parental
grandfather, which is more than many
eminent Americans can boast. and he
was a good enough man to get along
without a drop of Norman blood in
his veins.-New York World.

TAIL AS UMBRELLA.

One of the old natural history
stories that have been only half be-
lieved is that the South American
anteater uses its great bushy tail
as an umbrella whenever it takes it's
walks abroad in shower. The story
is partly true. And the tail has other
excellent uses, as one might suppose
of so extraordinary an appendange,
for perhaps no other animal of the
woods has so much tail in proportion
to body. The tail is like a huge
plume, but differs from the feather
and from such fiat, feather-like tails
as form the rudders and balancing
poles OF the squirrels in having its
hairs arranged in two enormous sur
faces of the tail-not along. the sides
of it. The benefit of this arrange
ment is that when the anteater lies
down at rest, with his tail bent side
wise, as is his wont, the long hairs
of the tail completely cover the body
like a cloak or umbrella and shed the
rain like a sloping thatch. The hairy
covering is also useful in keeping
away troublesome or dangerous in
sects, and it's dull gray tint har-
monies so well with the lights and
shadows of the forest that it ac-
tually helps to hide the animal from
its enemies while 1t sleeps.-Yo uth's

ITALIAN
BY MAKN ROYLE O,REILLY.

NAPLES, Italy, March 4.-Greater
hordes of south Europeans than ever
have sailed over TO the New World
will soon be hocking to the United
States-and to a new region, By the
hundred thousand they will descend
upon the whole Pacific coast, direct
from the Mediterranean, via the
Panama canal!
In Italy alone over 900 passages
have already been issued, on the in
stallment plan, to prospective mem
bers of this great transit Panama mi
gration Several steamship COM
panies have formed a pool to encour-
age the exodus. INSCRIPTIONS agents
are counting on profiting enormously
from it.
1t was consideration of this, doubt
less, which led the State department
at Washington to send to our Med
iterranean consuls the following
order, which | have had the oppor-
tunity of seeing:
You are instructed to report at
once what steps have been taken by
steamship companies or individuals
to promote emigration from Europe
to the Pacific coast via the Panama
canal"
After talking with consular agents
on the subject, and interviewing
members of the Italian Royal Emil
grafton Commission, | have learned
the following facts about this possible
undesirable exodus from the south of
Europe:
There are some thirteen steamship
companies concerned in promoting il.
Seven are Italian, sailing from Genoa
or Naples. These Italian lines have a
combined carrying capacity of $500
passengers per trip. Their vessels are
unsanitary and crowded.
Other than italian lines, the Austro
American line will undoubtedly be in
the pool, it is said, and will bring
from Trieste hordes of Greeks, Slavs
and Magyars, while two lines that
sell tickets in southern Russia will
bring Armenians and Roumanians to
the Pacific States.
From the Pireaus, port of Athens,
two lines, notorious for their unsani-
tary and poorly equipped ships, will
bring Syrians, Greeks and Mace
domains. On so long trip these boats
Will become veritable hotbeds of dis
ease even if the immigrants start in
good health

age,% however are selling tickets to
people known to be suffering from
tracoma and other maladies excluded
from the United States, and are even
issuing insurance guaranteeing Their
passage money back if they are not
admitted at the American port! Be-
sides the diseased, 1t is certain that
the great migration will bring to
America thousands of criminals.
What can be done about it?
1t is already forbidden by law, in
Italy, to encourage emigration. Yet
there are over 100000 steamship
agents who can do so verbally with
out being caught. Moreover the com
panies themselves are offering special
rates.
AS an inducement, they are selling
tickets on the installment plan at the
rate of 81 a week.
They have already booked 100000
passages for Pacific coast ports from
Italy alone by this means.
Because of their reductions over
the common rates, the thirty day trip
to San Francisco will probably cost
only $50. The twelve-day trip to New
York alone costs $40.
The Italian government is as much
worried over this prospective emf
grafton which will come with the
opening of the Panama Canal as is
the United States.
| asked Commadatore Egisto Rossi.
of the royal commission on emigra-
ton. how Italy would meet it.
I'VE cannot stop emigration" he
said, but Italy does not encourage
emigration to the western part of the
United States. We realize that in
that region the Italian emigrant,
without money, would be a mere
laborer working harder for his wages
than he would in Italy, and possibly
he could find no work at all If emf
grafton is too heavy.
SHOULD this bruited pool material
ize, and the threatened exodus de-
velop, it will be our duty not only to
warn emigrants, but to take what
measures we can to prevent them
from going!"
Other than Italy no south Euro
pean government has done anything
to prevent the proposed wholesale
emigrations upon the opening of the
canal. In those countries the "jackals
of the steerage" have been given full
sway to book passages via Panama,
and to paint in glowing colors the
mild weather and glorious opportuni-
ties of the Pacific coast.
