Hoover Sounds Warning
Against Foreign Agitators
Declares that Americas Door
to Immigrants May Be
Partly Closed.

Buffalo. N. ". Nov. 12.--U. N. ST.
Warning that Americas door to Euro
pean immigrants may be partly closed
and that prejudice may grow UP in
this country against any person speak
Ing a foreign language. because OF the
destructive activities of foreign agi-
tators. was sounded today by Herbert
Hoover. In an address before the Polish
conference here.
Mr.. Hoover's remarks on the citizen
ship obligations of foreigners In the
United States were regarded as timely
in view of the !. W. w. outbreak at
Centralia. Washington. yesterday IN
which four soldiers were shot and an
|. w. w. agitator was afterwards
lynched.
After telling Of the relief work in
Poland and her few needs, Mr.. Hoover
said:
"You and your ancestors have come
to the United States to free yourselves
from oppression and TO participate in a
country Of greater prosperity and high
standard of living. You have been
given the privilege Of entrance into this
community without restrictions. and
YOU have. slbeeHe bcnefitted- by its~ -picsss
ings. 1t is right that you should have
tender heart for the country OF your
| origin. but your first primary duty is to
the country of your adoption. The
people of the United States are today
themselves facing great difficulties of
social and industrial character. II we
are to solve these difficulties. 1t will
be by the undivided support of our in
stitutions from which we have OBJ
tanned the blessings we now enjoy.
MANY foolish ideas are being circu-
lated among the foreign-bor popula-
ton of the United States. Many OF
these foreign born are interesting them
selves in the destruction Of our primary
institutions and defiance of our laws.
The American people are fast losing
patience with this attitude. 1t may de-
velop out of this that open door to-
| wards you will be in a large measure
| closed. But. worse than this, there
may develop out of 1t prejudice
| against extending aid to those coun-
tries In Europe from which our foreign
| born population spring.
'If reforms are needed in the United
| States they will be carried out by those
whose parents have grown up amidst
| our institutions.

business part of the city, the stranger
expressing wish to be taken to Ca.
nal street.

dova paid little attention to the route
taken by the stranger and. did moi
become alarmed until GENTLY road
at the extreme downtown section oi
the city, was reached. Where are
you going" he then asked. you'll
find out very soon," was the reply
The car was stopped and tht
stranger produced two pistols, firins
several shots at both occupants of the
rear seat. DR.. Cordova apparently
was killed almost instantly. while
Mrs. Cordova received wounds which
led the bandit to believe she was
dead.
Ward Dickerson, who conducts &
general store near the scene of thu
murder, saw the two bodies in a ditcl
when he was preparing to open uI
his place early today. The pockets O.
the clothing were rifled and jewelr,
