SPANIARDS COMING
N LARGER NUMBERS
immigration to the United States Is
Likely to Break All Records
Crowds in Spain Seeking
Passports.

New York, March 27.-Cable dis
patches describing crowds seeking vises
on passports at the American consul
late in Madrid intensified the belief of
immigration authorities here to-day
that the number of emigrants from
Spain TO the United States might
break all records.
"They are of cultured class and
will undoubtedly make good citizens"
said Representative Isaac Siegel Of
the House immigration committee
Practically all of them will be able to
pass the literacy test"
Immigrants from Spain in the last
year before the war totalled 1922, the
number having increased from 6,l67 in
1918. From July ! to Dec. !, 1919, the
last period for which tabulations have
been made, the number was 1907. The
influx has been at a considerably high
er rate since then.
Mr.. Siegel predicted that many Span
ish-speaking people would emigrate
from Saloniki, where there are 100000
descendants of Spanish Jews who are
dissatisfied because they are not en-.
franchised.

Wheat or Flax for Export.

Warsaw, March 27--Confusion and
wretched conditions generally prevail
throughout Russia, according to re-
port made to British and American
representatives. here by technical ex-
pert who has spent months in Russia.
There is absolutely no wheat or fax in
Russia for export, he says, and wool is
scarce as sheep throughout the country
have been killed for food.

manufacturing districts and is emphat-

They are Fighting for Now.

Falkenstein, Saxony, March 20 (By

troops entered Gotha this morning tc
round up leaders of workers and search
the city for arms and ammunition. A
long column of troops was passed by
the correspondent when he left Gotha
and his luggage was searched several
times by soldiers before he was able to
get clear of the armed forces gathered
there.
During the long trip here govern
ment troops were met several times. At
Jena everything was quiet and the
workers were organizing guard. A
few miles further on the village OF
Germewitz was found to be occupied
by small band of armed workmen,
who declared they 'had nothing to live
for" and that if the troops attacked
the place they would fight to the last
man.
1--WE didn't know why we fought the
allies" said the leader to the cores
pondent, ''but we know what we are
fighting for now
At Gera the correspondents car was
stopped by workers guards and es-
corted to the old Reuss ministry build
ing, the windows of which bristled with
machine guns manned by workers
wearing red badges Regular govern
ment officials continue in authority at
Gera, where there has been a merger
of majority socialists, Independents
and communists.
This is the first time since the war
that Gera has been disturbed. Troops
that were being demobilized were dis.
armed and confined in the schoolhouse.
They did not resist, but volunteer stu
dents put up fight resulting in IL
being killed and 40 wounded.
Representatives of the Kapp regime
fed the day after they arrived at Gera.
and a detachment of Baltic troops
sent TO the town was disarmed by
workers outside the place after five
had been killed. Officials asserted
workmen in Gera as well as elsewhere
were engaged only in police duty.

RUSSIANS ARE LEADING.
Have Placed Themselves at Head of
German Workers.

Rotterdam, March Hundreds of fu-
gitives from the Ruhr district are near
ing Dutch frontier, according to a cor.
respondent of the Courant. Some ar
rived at Steernburg last night, bring
ing stories of the red terror" in towns
through which spartsoists have driven
armored cars.
They confirm reports, the correspond
ont says, that the workers forces are
being led by Russians or other for
eigners.
The government at Muenster, it is
said, had to contend with soviet die
tatorship after the Russian model,
which has been getting help from
Moscow.
Spartacists forces in the Ruhr valley
have enough ammunition, but their rs-
tions are very bad. In addition TO for.
cign officers there are many Prussian
,mmanders directing operations in
that district.

mountain regions. Hearing report
this afternoon that troops were ad'
vancing toward this city, Herr Brand,
Ter instructed outlying districts to
stand off the troops, if they appeared
until reinforcements arrived.
The executive committee to-day sent
a number of demands to the Saxon
government. 1t asked that the siege of
Leipsic be raised that officers of the
Reichswehr be dismissed; that Dresden
students and volunteers be disarmed !;
that miners be armed and placed under
control of the executive committees of
workers; that the government be re-
modelled so that workmen could be Civ
en- guarantees and that a new Saxon
legislature be elected.
In an election held March Is, two
days after the Kapp revolt in Berlin
an executive committee, composed of
10 communists, nine majority Social
lists and one Independent Socialist, was
chosen. Immediately after the election,
a general strike was called and work
ers took charge of the munition store
house and the barracks and disarmed
a small force of government troops
there. Student volunteers resisted, but
were disarmed without bloodshed. The
strike was called off later, said Herr
Brandler to-day, because it did not
serve any useful purpose after workers
were in control
1--WE expect to retain CONTROL he as
serted, until our demands are granted.
1t is all nonsense to imagine we in
tend to establish soviet form of gov !
The mayor of the town confirmed
Herr Brandler's declaration that work
ers were cooperating with the munich
pal authorities without interfering
with the latter.
There was no sign of the workers
guards when the correspondent entered
Chemnitz to-day. The regular police.
men were at their posts, and the city
appeared normal Herr Brandler ex-
blamed the workers did police duty at
light to prevent possible looting.

mediate vicinity of Berlin alone, $500

together with other information in pos

TYPICALLY SCOTCH
Was Interpretation Of "The Cotter's
Saturday Night"

From scenes like these auld Scotia g
grandeur springs" Typically Scotch
and interpreting in life one of the inn
mortal Scotch poets works, Robert
Burns "The Cotter's Saturday Night"
attracted large gathering in the
opera house last night when the Scot
tish Musical Comedy Co. of Boston,
under the management of j. f. DAN
iels, presented what turned out to be
one of the most enjoyable entertain
ments that one could listen to. The
same was given under the auspices of
Clan Gordon, No. IL, 0. S. c., and was
a success.
Picturing as it did the home life of
an ordinary peasant, who, weary with
the weeks toll, gathers his BARNS
around the kitchen table, there to give
thanks for kind and thoughtful Prov
idence, the piece impresses deeply and
shows the true worth of character, so
firmly espoused by Burns.
But the piece was not wholly given
over to the soberer things in life, for
sparkling comedy and laughable Incl
dents with many favorite Scotch air
rounded out an evening of entertain
ment long to be remembered. To many
who saw the same company here three
years ago, even greater praise was ac-
corded them ON their second appear
ance.
Some of the stirring numbers and
those which brought out the greatest
applause were "Hurrah for the High
lands" by Daniel Ross; "a Mans a
Man for a. That" by James Singer;
my Laddie," by Margaret Alexander;
"The Aud Scotch Sangs" Jeanne
Hunter Tanner, and "Scots Wha' Haze"
by the entire company. Victor Gilbert
possessed a sweet tenor voice and his
work among the soloists stood out
as did that of Mr. Dan
iels Mrs. Alice Pillsbury Gilbert at
the piano added appreeiably to the
numbers.
The characters were: Margaret An
derson, the cotter's wife, Jeanne Hunt
er Tanner. JEANNE, the daughter, Mar
garet Alexander; John Anderson, the
cotter, John L. Daniels; Robert Doug
las, the laird's son, Victor Gilbert;

lei Ross.
Immediately following, a public
dance was held in Clan Gordon hall, a
arge number finding additional pleas
