Becomes Violent and Six Men Are
Needed to Bind Him.

6. W. Applegate, $50 Lincoln way
E. who suddenly became insane at
4:3O o'clock in the drug store conduct
ed by him and his father at CoifaN
av. and Michigan St, became so Vio-
lent Friday night at the county jail
that it became necessary to strap him
to his bunk Physicians attended him
Saturday forenoon and pronounced
that he was in a serious condition.
An effort will be made To have him
put at once into some private asylum
inasmuch as accommodations cannot
be given now in the state hospital.
The insane man suddenly began to
rave in his cell when his wife came
to see him. He called so that he
could be heard at a considerable dis
tance from the building and finally
he climbed up onto the bars and beat
his head against the ceiling of his
cell. When the men came TO tie him
down il took the combined strength
of six men to handle him, although
he is of slight build. His scalp wounds
had caused the blood to almost COM
pletely cover him but later 1t was
found that the wounds were not deep.
The patient raved all during the night
over religion He was exhausted
when the physicians cared for him In
the morning.
Applegate went insane while writ
ing a letter in the drug store friday
afternoon and attempted TO as
sault the drug store clerk, Theo-
dore Learner, S15 +. Lasalle av. lie
also attempted to take his own life by
lying down on the street railway
tracks in front Of the CoOnley drug
store at Michigan st. and Washing
ton av. after he had chased Learner
that far down Michigan st
According to the story OF Learner.
young Applegate was writing letter
at desk in the store when he faint
ed. Learner bathed his head to re-
vive him and as he recovered Apple
gate remarked:
WAS it you that 1 am to kill?'
Learner says that he then started
toward him in a threatening man
ner. at which he (Learner) ran out
the door with Applegate at his heels.
The latter was saved from the car
wheels by Patrolmen Abby and Ko-
czorowsh. who took him TO the drug
store. He was removed to the county
Jail where he will be held pending an
Worry resulting from
and probably loss OF some
property on Lincoln way f. is said by
the father TO have caused his tenn
porary derangement Of mind.

Confess Blowing Pipe.


Sheriff John D. Conard and other
officers of this county lost no time locat-
ing the vandals who dynamited the Y in
the pipe line of the Frederick city water
works. Scarcely week passed until
two men were arrested and confession
obtained. The first party arrested was
Warren Harley, he duplicating George
w. Bartgis. The latter was arrested
Saturday night and confessed to Sheriff
Conard. Bartgis claims young man by
the name of Harris was connected with
the affair, but the officers think Harris
knew little about the affair, he having
proven that he was not with the other
two on the night of the explosion. Har-
ley claims Bartgis was the originator of
the scheme. The following is the con-
fession made by Bartgis:
Warren Harley said to me, Bartgis,
let's 60 out along the water line and
break and throw the tools away then
let's take dynamite back and blow up the
Y. Roy Harris, Warren Harley and my
self went out together, P. D. Shankle
furnished the wine. He knew all about
it. He furnished the wine if they would
do the work. We paid rs cents a quart
for the wine to do the work. Shankle
said Brady owes me $2.OS. Harley said
he knew where the dynamite was. He
saw it the night before near Staley's
farm. They laid the dynamite on the Y
Is sticks, l cut the fuse. Harley put
the cap on and Harris lighted the match.

The War And immigration.
An UnintentiOnal Experiment
In Restriction.

For years the restrictionists have
sought to have law placed on the
statute books which would cut down
immigration. What they have been
unable to accomplish themselves the
war has done for them. In the years
1913 and 1914 the totals of aliens adj
mitted to the United States were
l ,427 ,227 and / ,4O3, OSl, respective
ly, and the gains in alien population
after deducting the numbers of those
who returned to Europe or elsewhere
were Sl5, 1903 and 1926. The in
crease in alien population in the
course of the immigration year which
ended June Both was 5000. The
number of aliens who were admitted
was 434 ,244, while the number who
left was 3Sl, IA. The most drastic
restrictive legislation could not have
cut down the flow as the war has
done.
Not only has the war fulfilled the
desires of the restrictionists in respect
to wholesale reduction in numbers,
but also in respect to the racial char
acter OF the immigrants. The re-
strictionists have argued that those
from central and southern Europe
were undesirable because they were
not closely allied in blood with the
original settlers of the country, and
because their political institutions
and social habits were different. One
of the results of the war has been that
, the majority in l9l l-l5 came from
countries fronting on the North Sea
and the Atlantic Ocean. OF the big
number who went home, in many
cases to join the colors Of their re-
spective countries, by far the larger
proportion were of the class of So
called undesirable nationalitics.
The period of reduced immigration
is likely to continue more than a
year, and the indications are that it
may last for three or four years. 1t
is not generally believed that peace
will be concluded within a year. Fol
lowing the war there will be much
constructive work to be done in all
parts of Europe. 1t can be said with
confidence that the countries now at
war, or which become involved, will
not encourage emigration.
1t is evident, also, that the war is
rapidly depicting the ranks of those
who emigrate. These are the men
under forty five years of age. The
stupcndous casualty lists suggest that
there will be many in this class who,
because Of physical or mental disa
bilities, will be unable to meet the
requirements of our immigration law
regarding capacity to earn liveli-
hood, and mental soundncss.
With a much smaller immigration
we shall have in opportunity to study
the social and economic effects of re-
striction without committing our
selves to the policy. We have knowl
edge based on exp rience of the re-
suits of large immigration. BY
permitting proposed legislation to lie
upon the table for a while we shall
be enabled to decide upon our future
policy with greater knowledge at our
command. scientific American.
