FLOOD OF Immigrants
COMING AFTER.THEWAR
Uncle Sam Must Be Careful
to Bar the Unfit,

Washington. - Eternal vigilance is
needed on the part of the immigration
department in restricting the number
OF unfit immigrants trying to enter this
country. Although immigration has
had tremendous drop, paupers, in
sane, epileptic and feeble minded per-
sons, professional beggars. those likely
to become a public charge, contract la
borers, assisted aliens, those living Oh
immortality and others debarred from
entering this country still seem to be
emigrating. though probably in smaller
numbers
Last year 33,O41 individuals were re-
fused entrance to this country, pro-
portion to the total number Of aliens
Immigrant and nonimmigrant) landing
Of 2.3 per cent, while for the half year
ending January, 1915, 15.2OS were de-
barred, being 81 per cent of the total
immigration during that time
OF those trying to enter during the
: last six months 249 were idiots, imbe-
Giles or feeble minded, CT were insane
or epileptic, liza were suffering from
loathsome or dangerous contagious dis
eases, $500 were likely to become a
public charge, 1,746 were contract la
borers, 344 were assisted aliens and III
were coming for immoral purposes.
Many people see in the fact that there
is little reduction in the numbers of
the mentally. physically and morally
unfit who are attempting to enter this
country an indication Of what may be
expected in the near future. At the
end Of the war Europe will try to keep
its strong, its ablebodied and it's healthy
individuals, while enormous financial
burdens will probably induce a marked
tendency toward emigration. actively
encouraged perhaps. Of those who are
apt to become burden on the state.
Such problems as far as possible will
be shifted to other shoulders through
process of emigration. Only strin-
gent regulations on the part of the
American government and extraordi-
nary efficiency in its immigration serv-
ice will prevent such an unloading of
the unfit upon the shoulders of Uncle

Mary Phagan, fourteen years of age,
was employed in the factory. She call
ed on holiday to collect her wages
and failing to reappear at her home,
search was instituted and at o'clock
the following morning her body was
found in a remote part Of the plant,
showing evidence Of murder and as
sault.
Suspects were taken in by the police,
and then suspicion attached to Frank.
He was convicted mainly on the testi-
mony Of Jim Conley, negro, who said
he had helped Frank to dispose Of the
body after the murder. Local senti-
ment was against the prisoner almost
from the start. Remarkable stories Of
his alleged immortality were told.
The defense tried to fasten the crime
on Conley. the negro, who was an en-
ployee Of the factory. A note which
purported to have been written by the
murdered girl just before her death
was a link in the testimony. It was
found torn in scraps near her body and
purported to be addressed to her moth
er, in which she charged the crime on
negro without naming him.
The handwriting bore a slight resem-
blance to Franks writing, but Conley
after first denying that he wrote the
note or that he was in the factory on
the day of the murder, finally con-
fessed that he wrote the note. but at
the direction Of Frank.
Leo NJ. Frank is native Of Brook
Ign, a graduate Of the Brooklyn high
school, who won scholarship in Cor
nell university and is also we'll edu-
Gated along technical lines. He has a
family in Atlanta and up to the time
of the murder had reputation general
~ in the community Of being success
full business man Of good moral reputa-
ton.
The courtroom was crowded in antici-
patton Of decision in the Frank case
and many people stood in line outside
unable to gain admission. Since the
case has been before the supreme court
a nation wide agitation has been carried
on In favor of the prisoner and it wac
evident that his friends were many and
influential and that money was not be-
ing spared in an effort to influence pub
lie sentiment in favor Of the prisoner.
