BOY STARTLES THE EXPERTS WITH HIS
 NEW INVENTION

SEATTLE, Dec. 17.-Eiectrical experts are being greatly pug zIed in the examination of an in- vention made by Alfred Hubbard, a 1s-year-oId boy, who claims to generate electrical power from the air. He claims by his process power and heat can be operated indefinitely without application to other sources of energy.
 Father William E. Smith, pro- lessor of physics of the Seattle College. says the machine invent ed by the boy is destined to re- place all existing power general ors. He says the boy stumbled on to the principle, which scientists never believed existed.
 The invention, if it shouie prove effective, will advance the whole theory of electrical power and heating and revoiutIonize present methods.

DEFECTS OF
 ELLIS ISLAND
 ARE REVIEWED
Seven Recommendations Proposed For Laws With View of Curbing Ac-
 tivity of Reds

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Some of the defects of Ellis Island and seven recommendations which the Congress sional committee will make to the House for tightening up" of i'm migration regulations throughout the United States, particularly as they apply to anarchists. bolsheyists and other ultra radicals, were indicated here today by officials of the United States Immigration Station and by Representative Isaac Siegel, mem Der of the committee which has been investigating this port of entry.
 These recommendations, according to Mir Siegel, will include CD Ma turalization Courts in large cities; (2) a method of requiring all young Americans to take the oath of ale glance upon reaching 21 years; () abolition of the office of Commission CT General of Immightion; (4 ap- pointment of an Assistant Secretary of the Department of Labor to super wise all immigration affairs; (5) man. datory legislation providing for more rigid inspection at Ellis Island where 80 per cent of incoming aliens ar rive; (6) a military immigration patrol ,on the Canadian and Mexican borders; CD more drastic penalty for ship owners who permit alien mem bers of crews to, desert.
 You cant teIl Red by looking at him." declared one of the Ellis Island officials. You can't catch Red by cross-examining him. They are far too willy and shrewd. It is only after they have been in the country for sufficient length of time that you discover their pernicious beliefs and when you do no time should be lost in deporting them. No exam ination, prior to entry. can give the protection intended by the law. It Is necessarily perfunctory and ineilig dble aliens are bound to slip through because of our wrong methods"
