Big INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION

During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913, 1,197,927 immi-
grants came to this country, an in
crease of $685. 2O over the previous
year. OF. those 800, 1886 were be-
tween ID and "A years of age, 147,-
1853 were under IA years and 64,-
379 were as or over.
Twenty six per cent of the aliens
admitted were totally illiterate.
The bulk Of the immigration came
from the countries of Southern
Europe. only Is per cent coming
from Northern and Western Eur
ope.
While the immigration increased
43 per cent during the last year,
the number of exclusions of arriv-
ing aliens was increased only "a per
cent. That was due, the report in
dicatss, to the financial and phys
ical inability of the Bureau of Inn
migration properly to supervise the
great number of arriving aliens.
Under existing arrangement of
the $3.50 japanese who applied for
admission during the year, sS are
excluded.
Difficulties in enforcing the SO.
called Chinese Exclusioh-Law were
discussed, with a Wow to the en-
actment Of additional legislation and

coming in line and honestly admit
ting that the Wilson administration
is not spelling ruin to the nation.

There can be no truer index to

ing shout is always that the
masses r unemployed" and con-
sequently the country is going to
the dogs. He delights in cobwebbed
factories, smokeless chimneys and
workmen and their families
searching the gutter for crusts.
His chief argument is that nobody
is working. What can he say,
then, in the face of long lines of
wage earners and small salaried
men and women swelling the de-
posits in the savings banks to the
largest point in history?
The savings banks in New York
city yesterday reported that their
deposits for the first ten days of this
month were $4,000, 900 greater
than for the same period of last
year. and they are still growing
steadily. The first ten days of 1913
say Withdrawals of nearly $780, 600
in excess Of deposits, but yesterday
every savings bank in the country
reported the greatest access of de-
posits in its history. These deposits
are the wages of the workers. This
can only neal that everybody is
working. and that their wages are
far greater than their needs.

LAWLESSNESS REIGNS
IN mexico CITY
Looting and Disorder on Every
Side and Battle in Progress
Near the Outskirts.

Mexico City, Nov. 24.-Serious dis.
orders occurred in the capital tonight
when a mob gathered in front of the
National Palace.
Later they marched to stores where
arms and ammunition were kept, bat.
tered down the doors and sacked the
places of their contents. There was
much shooting, but thus far, accord.
ing to reports, the casualties are
few. $50
The police were powerless, as the
few who remained to guard the city
were stripped of their arms by the
mob.
Later in the evening the mob
which had been constantly growing
broke up into smaller bodies and the
lOoting of pawnshops and other es-
adjustments in various sections of
the city was begun. The trouble be-
gan at O'Clock in the evening, and
at late hour still continued All
street car traffic was stopped except
the Red Cross service, which was
taking care of dead and wounded
brought in from the fighting around
Tacubaya.
AT s o'clock bodies of civilians and
former Federal soldiers were formed.
They paraded the principle streets
and marched to police headuarters
and the Brazilian legation, where
they were armed.
1t was hoped that this force
eventually would be able to control
the situation.
The reports of unrestrained riot
ing in the Mexican capital indicate
that all of the organized Constitu-
tional forces have left the city either
to meet the forces of General villa,
coming from the North, or that of
General Zapata, which have been
threatening the capital from the
South.
The mention of fighting at Tacu-
baya, which is only five miles south
west of Mexico City, would make it
appear that the Zapata forces are vir-
tually at the doors of the capital.
General Blanco and force of sew
eral thousand men composed the last
organized force that late reports said
remained in Mexico City, all other
armed forces having left last week.
With them went all the national,
federal and district and city officials.
II seems likely. judging from the re-
ports of the rioting. that General
Blanco left with his troops to take
part in the lighting either to the
North or the South.
