; 500 Aliens Leave for Home With .
$0,O00,OOO Thew "Saltad" in u. s.

Three steamships have left New
York bound for southern European
ports, taking as passengers $500
aliens 1t is estimated by the gov
eminent officials that each alien rep
resents an average of $4,000 saved
while working in this country, and
that great majority will never re-
turn to the United States. The $500
represent $8,000.00O "salted.''
Since the restrictions governing
during the war, have been lifted
there have been many applications
for passports by aliens to return to
their native lands. A majority are
from Italy, Greece, Portugal, Czecho-
Slovakia and the Balkan States.
The sailing of the three liners for
southern European ports was the
reason for the big rush of appli-
cants, government officials say. The
liners are the Re dItalia, carrying l.
240; the Caserta. with 1850, and the
Giuseppe Verdi. with 1850, for Med
iterranean ports.
All of those applying for pass
ports had to show the government
agents that they paid their income
tax, and, that they were not taking
out of the country and contraband
bank notes or coin. None are per-
mitted by law to take with them
more than $1,000. and that in letters
Of credit, bank books and bonds of
certain kinds. a majority of the ap
plicants are men.
One official said that the appli-
c2nts would be divided into three
classes in regard to their reasons
for wanting to go home. First, there
are those who made it a custom to
leave America every autumn and re-
turn every following spring. Persons
in that class, principally Italians,
have found it impossible to return
during the war years and fourfold
richer than ever before, are sailing
this class are many who will not
return for three or four years at
least.
Then there are those who wanted
to see what damage war had done to
their home countries and to gather
lies. In this class is included those
men who were reservists in the ar
mics of their fatherland, but who
were unable to respond to the call
of their sovereign because of lack of
transportation. Nothing excuses
these men from military duty, and
they are going back to clear them
selves of official v1spleasure I'm or
der that they may not be regarded
as fuSitiVeS.
The third class IRE those who's like
the great majority of south Euro
peans came to America to make
their fortunes that they might spend
their later years in ease in their ma
tive villages. The high wages of tine
war years made the desired fortunes;
quick of attainment, and these men
are returning years before they would

cant represented an average bank

This became known today when

While finding antiquities in Ar

nature, Mr.. Hughes takes chief ex-
ception to articles XXI and x, which
concern the Monroe doctrine and the
liability of the United States to pro

the assumption that the treay would

and negroes are accustomed to swim
in Lake Michigan, although the two
races are separated by an imag1n-
airy line. This version of the affair
says that a negro boy on raft cross

boys threw stones, knocking the ne

lad. Negro bathers from another

force to the rescue and soon stones
and clubs were hurled in all direc-
lions, many people, both white and
black being injured by the missiles.
After the fighting near the beach
had been uuelled, trouble broke out
further west, near the center of the
negro district. John O'Brien, po-
liceman, was attacked by mob at
Twenty-ninth and State streets,
after he had tried to rescue TEL

clubs.
The two negro men who were shot
at Twenty-ninth street, where one
