ASKED POST
Describes Ellis Island Situa.
ton as Critical in Confer
ence with Officials.
tBy Universal Seryice.)

Louis F. Post, Assistant Secre-
tary of Labor, yesterday conferred
with officials of the State Depart
ment regarding means to relieve
the food of immigration now ar
irving in New York.
Post, just returned from an in
spection trip to New York, described
the situation at Ellis Island as "vcry
bad" Aliens are arriving at the
rate of about 5000 a day. and ac-
commodations at the Island are so
crowded that many have to sleep
on the stone tagging outside the
buildings. An additional supply OF
10000 army blankets has been sent
to Ellis Island within the past few
days.
The situation has become so Sc
rious that Post has asked the Ship
ping Board for permission to use
the Leviathan and other liners now
out of commission as temporary
housing quarters for new arrivals.
1T is evident" said Post, that
the Bureau Of immigration must
largely exceed the appropriation
granted by the last Congress.
Immigration figures for 1890
promise to be the greatest in the
history of our country. 1t is pos
sible that the number may reach
!, 900, ,00O."

Man Arrested for Telling a Friend
Where He Could Buy a Little Drink

The charge against Boland states
that he told one Jack H. BucksIcw
where to set whisky. BuckaIew
was not an agent Of the police and
it is said that his inquiry to BoIand
was a perfectly legitimate ono as
far as the relationship of the two
men to each other was concerned.
1t just happened that Policemen
Messer and Salkeld, of the First
precinct, overheard the conversation
and followed the two men. Later.
after Buckalew was able to connect
with the bootlegger and make his
purchase, for an amount said to be
sl2. the police stepped in. Bucka-
lew forfeited small amount OF
