Immigration Chief Warns Ma
ton Against Yellow Peril.
Looks for Great Influx of Ash
atics Within Few Years.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
strong probability of a vast movement
of immigration from western Asia to
the United States within the next few
years should demand attention in ad-
vance. according to the annual report
of Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Caminetti to congress today.
This movement was just commence
ing and was temporarily stayed with
the breaking out of war, says the re-
when it will begin anew. when doubt
less the history of previous large mi
grations will be repeated.
Immigration from eastern Asia,
says the report, which has been one
of our most serious problems for
years has not yet been solved. Mod1-
fications and additions to the present
immigration laws to cope with this
Oriental invasion are urged. A provi-
sion to the Burnett bill, which has
already passed the house and been re-
ported favorably by a senate commit
tee, is suggested as an ideal solution
Yellow Peril Inconsistency.
1.-The fact that no person OF the
Monaghan race, no matter how long
his residence here or devotion to our
country and institutions, can ever be-
come a citizen, while a Monaghan by
the accident of birth here may be-
come such in spite of adherence to
of his people, is an inconsistency
which detracts from the dignity of
American citizenship in the opinion
of the commissioner"
Regarding the necessity for exclud-
ing aliens on economic grounds
which question has been before the
judicial and legislative branches of
the government, the report says: 1T
is just as undesirable from the point
of the communities affected that an
alien shall become public charge be-
cause he cannot find a job in which
he can make a living, as it is that he
shall become a public charge because
he is of poor physique or in i'll health
or cripple.
Advocates Larger Medical Force.
During the fiscal year, 1914, aliens
to the number of 1,218. $50 migrated to
the United States. In 1915 the total
dropped to 326,700 and in the past
year only 298,S26 entered the country.
Increase of the medical force for the
examination of immigrants is recon-
mended, a more intensive physical
examination" having shown by expert
ment rejects a greater percentage of
those unfit for admission.
The service has been particularly
active in the past year, according to
the report, in combating the evils of
white slavery" Prosecutions were
instituted in eighty-six cases and sew
enly cOnVlcLlOnS secured. Inc COR
responding figures for 1915 were
sixty-six and fifty-three.
During the past year the division of
information placed 1916 persons in
employment, 5S,263 of whom were
American citizens. F'ifty-four races
land sixty-six different occupations
+ were represented. Figures show that
of the applicants, citizens now pre-
ponderate where aliens formerly did.
The report carries a recommendation
for favora BILE action on the measure
to increase the limit of cost for the
new station at Boston, recommended
ton also for additional facilities on the
Mexican border.

net lacked firmness, decision and in

days Giornale DItalia. 1T was in

muddle and the Rumanian disaster
1t is to be hoped that the ministry

May Mean Earlier Peace.
Amsterdam, Dec. THE resigna-
ton of Premier Asquith clears the sit
uation according to the Koelnische
Zeitung. Commenting on the English
political crisis the paper says:
The enemy's last forces will now
be brought into the field ard when
they, like others, have hurled them
selves vainly against the strength of
Germany we shall find England ready
for an honest peace
The Cologne Volks Zcitung says that
the Germans can view political events
in England with complete composure.
THE leading man. it says, ''.in the
most powerful of the enemy countries

hope that a decision will come all the

BLAME ON BANKS

Five Bankers and Five Packers
Are SubpOenaed.
OFFICIALS AFTER big" men
Packers Own or Control Many
Storage Plants.
All Kinds of Food Held by
Meat BarOnS.
OFFICIALS AFTER BIG" men

Chicago, Dec Federal officials
investigating increases in food prices
were prepared today to continue their
examination of Chicago bankers. A
preliminary investigation revealing
that one bank had loaned more than
$1,500,000 on warehouse receipts will
result in an effort to determine just
how much money is advanced for the
purpose of aiding commission brokers
in holding foods from the market.
Complaints have been made to
Charles f. Clyne, United States dis
trict attorney, that if it were not for
the money loaned, storage men could
not keep food products in storage long
enough for a scarcity to be created.
Millionaire packers and bankers
were implicated in the soaring prices
of food by federal officials who are
| obtaining evidence for the federal
grand jury. Officials of five packing
companies and five banks were sub
poenaed to bring their records of
| loans and of produce in storage before
the grand jury.
The packers were Louis F. Swift,
head of Swift & Co.. Thomas E. Will
son, head of Wilson & Co.; Arthur
Meeker, vice president of Armour &
Co; Edward Morris, of Morris & Co.
The bankers were John P. Olson, vice
president First National bank; D. V.
Webster, secretary First Trust and
Savings bank; H. NJ. Garretson assist
ant cashier Illinois Trust and Savings
/ bank; William N. Jarnagin, assistant
cashier National City bank; W. F.
Gleason, assistant cashier Nation Pro-
duce bank.
jury were J. w. Brown, head of the
produce department of Armour & Co.,
and w. F. Burrows, president, Libby,
McNea1 & Libby.
Packers Own Warehouses.
From one packer came the informa-
ton that the packing interests are
heavily interested and in MANY in
warehouses that store all forms of
food products.
Federal Investigators went direct to
several banks in search of information
and one reported that he had found
records showing that one bank loaned
! one warehouse more than $1,500,000
each month last summer.
Federal officers also asserted that
in looking up the ownerships of the
warehouses they had discovered that
several were dominated by the pack
ing interests and some, they declared,
were merely subsidiary companies of
packing companies.
Only One Was Sat Home"
The news that the federal grand
jury called the packers created stir
at the StOckydrQS To-Day and million
d1re packers were not to be found in
their offices when the officers called
with the subpoenaes. Louis F. Swift
was the only one who was reached.
The packers were merely SUBJ
poenaed to bring their records before
the grand jury. None will be permit
ted to testify, which would mean i'm
nnunity, it was announced.
Assistant District Attorney Michael
L. Igoe declared that the government

BLOW CONVINCING"
Emperor Charles Considers Victory in
Rumania Decisive.

London, Dec. IA Reuter- dispatch
from Amsterdam says Emperor
Charles spent yesterday at Austrian
headquarters discussing with his mill
tary advisers the military and politl-
cal situation brought about by the
capture of Bucharest and Ploechti.
1.-The emperor sent a telegram to
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria express
ing joy at the achievements in Ru-
mania and the hope that we will sue
coed in the near future in convincing
the enemy of the futility of further
bloodshed."
A similar telegram expressing the
hope of a speedy and final victory
was sent by the emperor to the sultan
of Turkey.
