Clash at Inverness
Sequel to Arrest Of
an American Sailor

Inverness, Scotland, April 26.-An
investigation today of the encoun-
ter between the local police and

police arrested one of them. His
friends went to his assistance and
he escaped. Three policemen were
slightly hurt in the melee.
One sailor was finally arrested and
turned over to theh United States
naval authorities.
The young Scotch wife of an
American seaman pleaded guilty in
police court today of having used
abusive language toward two Ameri-
can naval officers during the disturb
ance. A small fine was imposed in

LABORERS FROM ORIENT.

Chicago, April 26.-Immigration
of 100000 foreigners, mostly Chi
nese and Japanese, every year for
the next SO years was predicted here
today by Abraham Bowers. immi-
grafton secretary Of the Y. M, c. A..
in the course of All address before
the Illinois State Americaniza tior
committee.
Mr.. Bowers based his prediction
on thes assumption that the growth
of the United States for the next
half century will require hordes Of
common laborers.
They must come from the Ori-
ent," said Mr.. Bowers. The Euro
pean labor now in this country is
fast graduating into more skilled oc-
cupations, and further immigration
from that source doubtless will be
greatly curtailed owing to depletion
Of man power in Europe by the

The response was thunderous
shouts of "yes."
II never doubted it," continued
the premier, "for l know the soul

work"
"The second question is to esti-

Washington, April 26.-A ruling
today by Comptroller of the Cur
rency Williams virtually removed
all limitations on loans by national
banks where Liberty bonds or Vic
tory Liberty loan notes are de-
posted as security to the extent oi
los per cent or more of the amount
borrowed. The action extended un-
til January ], 1920, the period in
which national banks are permitted
to make loans on security of Lib
erty bonds or Victory notes in ex-
cess Of 10 per cent of their capital
and surplus.
The comptroller also reported
that analysis of statements of na
tional banks as of March 4, 1919
showed that although majority OF
the $4,000, 100000 of Liberty bonds
issued were placed by national
banks, nearly all of the bonds went
to the customers of the banks, and
not to the banks themselves.
