M'ADOO FOR $255,OOO
ALIEN STATION HERE
Plans for $4,000 Inspection
House Jnwise, Says Secre-
tary of the Treasury

An inspection house at the Philadelphia
immigration Station to cost $255,O 900 has
been recommended by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo Word was received
from Washington this afternoon that the
Secretary had urged such a structure I'm
letter to Congress and advocated the
erection of a building which would be
abreast of the times,
Mr.. McAdoo pointed out that although
plans had been made for the erection of a
building to cost $4,000, in accordance
with a recommendation of the Secretary
Of Labor, it would be unwise to limit the
cost to this sum because it would compel
the erection of a building of inadequate
size and of cheap materials,
He said that after a careful review og
the situation had been made. IT was esti.
mated that in view of the increased price
Of equipment IT would require S25,OOO for
furnishings alone In conclusion he said:
THE department is reluctant to pro-
Ceed under the present authorizations, and
is of the opinion that it is inadvlsable
10 eNpend funds in the construction of a
building, which, on account of its made.
quate size and the cheap materials which
il would be necessary to use could be
considered only of a temporary character
II is recommended therefore that the
limit Of cost be increased by the sum of
S2O5,O00 making available for the work
Of construction of the Receiving Building
S255,O0O as above stated"

"FINGER-PRHNT" CASE
GOES TO THE JURY
Only Evidence Offered in Sec
ond Trial of Decker, Ac-
cused of Burglary

NORRTSTOWN, Pa. March 9.-With
only fnger-print evidence to prove his
guilt, Benjamin Decker. of Philadelphia,
carpenter and peddler, was tried here a
second time. charged with robbing the
Taylor home at Wyncote. in Cheltenham
township. over a year ago, and the bur-
glary case went to the jury at noon, after
a charge by Judge Swartz, in which the
value of the islands, curves and lines of a
person's finger as testimony was elab-
orately explained
At a previous trial the jury was not able
to agree after being out for 30 hours. AT
that trial Chief Lever, of the Cheltenham
police, was the. only one who went before
the jury as an expert on finger prints At
this trial the Commonwealth had two fin
ger-print experts to Corroborate Chief
Lever.
Decker has been in the NOrristown Jail
year. When he was asked on the wit
ness stand why his wife was not in court
to intercede for him, he replied:
MY wife is a Christian woman and
she pleaded with me not to bring her into
the case"
Decker, who was the only witness for
the defense told the jury that he had
never been in Wyncote in his life. When
shown his own finger prints and those
found on the cellarette in the Taylor home
he admitted that there was similarity
He is 80 years old, and when not EN-
ployed at his trade of carpenter he sold
shoestrings and collar buttons in Phila-
delpha.
Faurot and Haley, fnger-print experts
connected with the New York police de-
partment, both declared that finger prints
were positive identification. Haley has
compared about 5000 finger prints in the
last year. He never heard of the finger
prints of two persons being Identical lie
was shown the finger prints found on the
cellarette in the Taylor home and those
made of Decker after he had been ar
rested and declared that they were iden-
tlcal. He found 81 points of similarity and
said that more could be marked out
Judge Swartz was very particular to
have the experts explain to the jury how
they were to find the sImlarities in the
finger prints themselves in the jury room
Carrie Smillick of Philadelphia testified
that she was not sure that Decker was
the man from whom she bought silver
ware a year ago, which was subsequently
identified as the property of Mr.. Taylor.
When a picture OF Decker was produced
by the District Attorney, she said that
when 1t was shown her at the time of
the recovery of the goods, year ago she
had said that 1t looked like the man
from whom she had bought the Taylor
silverWare.

Colonel Herbert j. SlOCum, commander OF

camp at the town limits when the MeNi-
cans attacked.
"Thc town was aroused by the first vol

armed tried to help the troops. But the
first rush Of the McXicans on two sides of
the town carried them through the patrol

SPURNED BY HIS WIFE,
FIGHTER TAKES POISON
Joseph Haley Attempts Suicide
as Amateur Actors Club
Looks On

MONITORS of the Anderson Dramatic
club, following rehearsal in the home
of Charles Loud $50 North 63d street,
witnessed tragedy of everyday life
when Joseph Haley, a young lightweight
pugilist. attempted suicide after his wife
had refused to consider reconciliation
and to drop divorce proceedings against
him.
The club members were rehearsing a
play last night when Haley called at the
Loud home and demanded TO see his wife
When Mrs. Haley came downstairs, Haley
pleaded with her to forget all differences
and return to him. This she refused to
do, and cut short the interview by going
to her room. Haley was standing dis
cOnsolatc in the paror when the rehearsal
ended. and the amateur players trOOped
into the room for their wraps.
Mr.. Loud was stirred with pity at
ITayls detected condition and he said to
the young man: "The only thing for you
to do, Haley is to do the right thing and
try to win back your wife's affections"
The amateur players looked curously
at the young husband. and they were
startled when Haley quickly placed a vial
of carboIic acid to his lips and drank the
contents He staggered and groaned with
agony az he was assisted to a chair. His
lips and mouth were fearfully burned.
Loud mixed some eggs and milk and
forced the connection down Haleys throat.
This seemed to relieve the puglist, who
thrust a piece of paper into the hands of
Loud, gasping out the words: 'If / should
die give her this" on the paper was
written: 81 am sorry to have to do this,
but | cannot live without you. Kisses
for yourself and the baby. Good-by.'
The police were notified, and Haley
was taken to the West Philadelphia
Homeopathic Hospital. where a stomach
pump was used with such excellent re-
suits that Haley was able to leave the
institution within an hour.
Haley lives at 10 North Ruby street,

New War Secretary Makes Report to
President

WASHINGTON, March O. - With a
green" Secretary of War in the chair the
United States was today confronted with
reports from the Mexican border that in
dcated another concerted and we'll.
planned effort to force American inter.
venton, or at least n repudatlon of Car
rama, had been launched,
Secretary of War Baker, within an hour
after taking the oath of office received
from General Funston official reports that
real warfare was in progress along the
New Mexican border. The reports indi.
Gated that if Francisco Villa was not
actually in command of the forces that
shot up and burned" parts of Column
bus N, NJ, the bandits were part of his
own bodyguard and must have acted un-
der plan that had his sanction.
Secretary Baker. after convincing him
self that General Funston had sufficient
troops available to carry on strong opera
tions to combat the "invasion," sent all
of the information received by him to the
President at the White House.
Mr., Bakers report embodied the follow
ing message from General Funston at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas:

No official statement was made, but it
was said by officials there that the EXecu-
tive felt certain the latest outrage was
part of the Villista program to force Amer
lean Intervention at any cost.
General Funston has free hand and
can utilize all of the regular troops under
his command in any reprisals he may be-
lieve necessary so long as they do not
cross the border,
At the same time, the State Department
will make the strongest representations to
General CaTranZa, demanding that he at
once crush this latest manifestation. The
Mexican Embassy here was without any
official information. but designate Ambas.
sador ArrendOndo has wired General Car
rama that his good faith will be ques-
toned If immediate steps are not taken to
punish the invaders.
The official report of the Columbus bat
tie created a mild sensation in Congress,
particularly in the Senate, where oratorl-
cal battles over the Administrations

Senators crowded into the press gallery

official report was received the situation
