Ban on Erniggrant
Inspection in Italy
Delays Ships Here
Examination of Vessels i'm
This Port Holds Them Up
SO Hours; Appeal Made
to Government at Rome

Port health officers who are obliged
to disembark about 1000 Italian immi-
grants each week at Hoffman Island and
examine them for signs of typhus, bu-
bonic plague and smallpox, are ex-
perienclng an unusal hardship 1t re-
suits from the failure of the Italian
government to recognize the right of
American consular agents abroad to
pass upon the health of these immi-
grants prior to embarkation.
For the last three weeks, according
to DR.. Leland Cofer, port health officer
at Quarantine. incoming Italian liners
have had to be detained for twenty-four
to thirty-six hours before debarking
their passengers. Consequently, the
physicians at Hoffman Island, where
the examinations are made, must forego
Sundays and holidays off to avoid an
Cofer, Italian steamship lines here,
Acting Italian Consul Rochiara nor
officials Of immigration at this port
could explain the Italian governments
action.
Never Objected Before
Since 1898 American consular officers
have been invested with powers of ex-
animation of foreigners embarking for
the United States, DR.. Golfer explained,
and. until recently these powers were
never questioned by any foreign nation.
AS this time when so many foreign
ers are embarking for this country
and there is known to be considerable
'typhus bubonic plague and smallpox
in central and southern Europe" said
DR.. Golfer, "it is necessary for us to
make rigid examinations of these new
corners. We find that many of them
carry typhus breeding parasites and
are utterly ignorant of the danger to
which they and any one who comes in
contact with them are exposed. Be-
cause of some misunderstanding on the
part of the Italian government, it is
necessary now to debark every Italian
liner at Hoffman Island, examine each
passenger and thoroughly renovate the
ship. This makos delay of twenty.
four to thirty-s1x hours, with the re
suit that the Italian lines are greatly
Inconvenience, as are also the port au-
thorities."

charge of the consulate while Consul
Tritonj is in Italy on vacation, told a
Tribune reporter that the italian and
American embassies are comforting on
the matter and he was confident, he
said, that a settlement would be
reached soon.
Speedy Settlement Expected
Tritonj's trip abroad, he said, was
purely vacation trip and had no sig
nificance in the existing port difficulty.
"The difference will be settled with
out trouble" said the vice-consul.
diplomatic conferences are now in
progress at Washington which will
clear up the situation. There has been
a misunderstanding, which 1 am sure
will be corrected"
Deputy Commissioner of Immigration
Uhl said he would not attempt to ex-
plain the matter because it was not

the patients. Grating of bone has been
effective in many cases.
DR.. Thomas B. Hartzell, of the Uni

Carfare Raise Denied
Proposed Increase of BROOKLYN
Line Held NOT Inst

The Public Service Commission yes
terday denied the APPLICATION of the Van
Brunt Street and Erie Basin Railroad
Company, a short trolley line in Brook
lyn, now charging three-cent fare, for
an increase in fare to four cents. The
company offered to sell eight tickets
for Is cents. The franchise for part
of the present route was granted by the
Common Council of the City of Brook
Ign, October IS, 1861, and provided that
the company should not charge more
than three-cent fare.
Later, however, the Legislature au-
thorized the company to extend it's
lines, with permission to charge four
cent fare when the extensions were
completed. The company contended
that the extension provided for was
completed several years ago, and that
it had right to charge four cents.
Morgan T. Donnelly, Deputy Public
Service Commissioner, who conducted
the hearings in the matter. decided
that the company had failed to sustain
the burden of proof and show that the
proposed increases in the rate of fare
were just and reasonable.

Bella Kun Sent to Russia
With Communist Group
Former Dictator Sought by
Hungary Said to Have So.
VETS Promise of SheIter

VIENNA, July 16 (By The Associated
Press) .-Bela Kun, former dictator of
Hungary, and all the Communists
whose extradition ha sheen demanded
by Hungary, left Vienna last night for
Russia by way of Germany in a pris-
oners' convoy.
The release of the Hungarian Com
munist leaders, who were given refuge
in Vienna after their downfall in Hun
gary, was ordered by the government
after lengthy deliberations. 1t is
understood the government was in
fluenced in its decision by the Soviet
threat that no Austrian prisoners in
Russia would be repatriated unless
Bella Kun and his associates were given
safe conduct to Russia.
Another factor is said to have been
fear that bourgeois government would
come in with the approaching elections,
with the possible surrender of the
refugees to Hungary, where capital
charges lie against them. Certain of
the great powers are understood to
have opposed the release Of the Com
munists.
Recently the police arrested a num-
Der of German protiteers and other I'M
desirables whose conveyance to Russia
was decided upon, and it is believed
the government agreed to include the
Communists in the party.
There are rumors that reactionary
elements, under Hungarian inspiration,
may attempt to overtake the train
which is carrying Bella Kun and his
colleagues to Russia.
A Vienna dispatch of March 81 re-
ported that the Russian Soviet govern
ment, through Victor Kopp, it's repre-
sentative in Berlin, had formally
offered Bella Kun and other informed
Communists safe conduct through Ger
many to Russia. The Communists were
promised shelter should they reach
Russia, the dispatch added.

FRENCH VIEWPOINT

PARIS, March 30-It was said at
the French foreign office today that
the French point of view regarding
Turkey and Armenia is in agreement
with that of President Wilson on the
desirability of the largest possible Ar
menian state and the expulsion of the
Turks from Constantinople.
"The question raised. however, as
to how these ends are to be achieved
without force necessary to deal with
trouble certain to result from among
the Musselman population, is a vexing
one," it was said.
1T will require force of several
hundred thousand men to back up this
decision and eject the Turks entirely
from Europe. The establishment of
an Armenian state of large dimensions
would also involve the necessity of a
military force to protect it.
"This task" the foreign office de-
clared. "has always been considered a
great humanitarian task for President
Wilson to perform"
"The question was" it was added,
"as to whether he was ready to furnish
the required force"

WILL BE PLENTY OF MELONS
There is little use in specializing as
to the probably number of cars to
come out of the valley this season.
They are coming and when they start
they will come fast and steady so that
the eastern trade will have to simply
clear the decks and give California
cantaloupes the right Of way For one
thing the season will run at least IL
and perhaps Is weeks. Which in turn
means that the peak will come early
and will not be near so heavy as last
season. There will be two and possibly
three peaks with slow decrease as
against the usual heavy drop after the
peak. The increase, however. from a
few cars day to % and so and then
100 cars will be rapid-for the weather
has been so favorable that scores Of
plots have made nearly equal prog
ress the past fortnight. 1t is one of
the peculiar features of cantaloupe
growing that two patches which NAV
appear greatly different one month
will be nearly the same. so far as ma
turity is concerned, the next month.
A run of several weeks Of favorable
growing weather seems to even up
things all around.

F|RST-LEG IS
FAVORED BY
SEVERAL At
MEETING
Important Actions May Be
Taken Late This After
noon; Opposition to First
Leg Develops; All-Ameri-
can Canal Asked.

Discussion of the first leg plan to
meet the demands of the Yuma
Water Users association formed
the principal matter to come before
the board of directors of the Inn
perial Irrigation district this morn
ing, although several other matters
Of interest. including the resignation
of General Manager c. n. Perry
were in the background.
Several members Of the board OF
directors of the advisory board Were
present and when the wier problem
came up expressed themselves. From
those present, who admitted that they
were speaking for themselves alone
it seemed the first leg plan to connect
from Laguna dam to Hanlon's head
ing was favored, but spirited opposi-
tion to anything but the proposed All
American canal bond issue was pres
ent, although not active.
A resolution of the Imperial County
Farm bureau, signed by all but one of
the IA farm center directors lay before
the board, requesting the calling of
bond issue for the entire canal. This
has been unacted on during the past
TWO meetings.
President Walker of water company
No. 8, President Will Fawcett of
water company No. /, President Best,
Mr.. Marsh of water company No. s
and Mr.. Webb, former president OF
water company No. 7, all spoke on the
proposed first leg plan.
The first. three mentioned favored
the construction of the first leg. Mr.
Marsh was decidedly against its con-
struction and in favor of the plan OF
fighting Yuma, and Mr. Webb of No
7 stated that his company had taker
no action. The board itself took nc
action.
The only formal action which the
board could do this afternoon, it was
pointed out, is to present the matters
before the state engineer through the
state bond commission.
From sentiment expressed on al
sides it seemed that the first leg plar
is favored at this time but only as ;
beginning of the solution of the water
problems of the valley.
1t is known that there will be
spirited campaign against the frs
leg plan in case bond issue is callet
for bonds for it alone and in the cas-,
both issues are placed before the pub
lie there will be a tremendous cam
paign waged to pass the All-Americal
canal bond issue. which includes tn
first leg
