FOR HOME, REPORT
(By United Press,)

New York, July S.-More than
two and a half million foreign born
residents Of the United States are
waiting to go back to the land of
their birth, P. A. Baker, superin-
tendent Of the department of immi-
grafton, said today. Lack Of
steamship passenger facilities, I'M
settled conditions in Europe and
currency deflations are some Of the
reasons for their being unable to
return to their homes, he said.
OF those who have gone to
Europe with the intention of
settling there, he said, large ma
jority return to this country within
q few months. They discovered
the H. c. Of L. has made the trip
to Europe likewise.
Since 1918 departures have ex-
ceeded arrivals and immigration
has been unstable and not compar-
able with that of pre-war days, he
said. The reasons, he said, in
clude more stringent passport
laws, both here and abroad, and
the present European unrest. What
nationalities will comprise the next
tide OF immigration cannot be pre-
dicted, he said.

Trksworks, int eshrdluateino
Fireworks, interrupted by the
rain Monday night, were dischar(
ed last night in the wake Of fur
Their showers at Prospect park, Mo-
line. About one-half of the pro-
gram was fired last night, as guam
titles Of set pieces, bombs and aer-
ial bursts remained from Monday
in condition. The show pieces were
in most cases damaged beyond re-
pair by the rain.
The hit OF the evening was the
Niagara falls showpiece. Several
of the other expensive pieces, how
ever, were complete failures, al
though workmen spent yesterday
trying to repair the damage done
them by the rain Monday night.
! William Rohr OF Chicago had
charge Of all firing. as his brother,
injured by premature explosion
Monday night, was unable to leave
the hospital. There were approx
mately 1000 persons to witness the
display, about half the number who
gathered in the park Monday
for the first part of the program.

the worst and remained through
the entire performance despite oc-
casional showers and a threatened

A. M. Cam. residing in a hut
near the end Of Campbell's island
bridge, WATERFOWL, was arrested
by East Moline police today on a
charge of larceny. Cam is said to
be discharged patient of Water
town hospital. On complaint Of
motorists who had parked their
cars with Cam before crossing to
the island and returned to find ar
ticles missing. police visited Cams
home early today. They discovered
q suitcase filled with mems and
women's new shoes. automobile
tools, inner tubes and top cover
believed to have been taken from
parked automobiles.
Cam admitted taking the auto
mobile parts, but said he purchas-
ed the shoes in Davenport and was
reselling them. According to one
Of the motorists, suspicion was first
aroused by Cam boasting Of his
successful attempts at taking arti-
cles from the cars parked in his
yard. The motorist, thus inform
ed, searched his own car and found
tools missing. When he reported
his loss to Cam, the latter prompt
ly returned the articles.
