Secretary Wilson Urges New Use of

California.

Unqualified Endorsement of the bill
proposing to turn Alcatraz Island. Cal,
for many years a military prison. over to
the immigration authorities for an immi-
grafton station was given in letter
sent last night to the House committee on
military affairs by Secretary Wilson of
the Department of Labor. The letter
took the form Of report on a bill now
pending in Congress providing for the
transfer of the army property to the i'm
migration authorities. The urgent need
of making some new provision for sta
ton at San Francisco. was pointed out
in the letter. particularly in view of the
fact that the station will be a source of
much interest TO the millions of visitors
to the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Alcatras Island where it is proposed
to locate the new station, declared Com
missioner General Caminetti of the
bureau of immigration last night, is
just opposite the exposition grounds and
can be plainly seen from any part of

If the bill to turn the island over to

Island six miles from the mainland.
They are of frame construction and are
in danger from fire, furnishing a serious
menace to the many thousands Of immi-

part of their time in them.
The prison buildings on the island
where it is proposed to have the new sta

migration needs. He points out, however,
that $4,000 will be needed to make GER

some time has been sentenced
to serve from one to Twelve
years in the Washington pcni-

the accident he was taken fo

ter up as yet but there seems to
be no question but what, if all of
the legal requirements have been
fulfilled, they will have no dis
cretion in the matter but Will be
Obliged to order the question TO
De submitted.
So far no objection to the Pc
tition has been filed with the com
missiOners and no opposition to
the placing of the question upon
the ballot is anticipated unless
it should come from Plumn'er,
and it is not likely to come fiom
there as they have a county di-
