Commissioner Wallis Seeks
Better Treatment for I'M
migrants to America
r
Immigrants Will Be Requested to Take
a Bath and Have Clothes Sterilized
Warm Milk Provided for Babies
Asks Railroad Cooperation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-sweeping
changes are being made at America Is
gateway-Ellis Island-by Immigra-
ton Commissioner Frederick A. Wallis.
who proposes to make the big immigra-
tion station more comfortable for the
newcomers to the United States.
Freedom and sunshine is being
planned for the new arrivals by the
commissioner who has just announced
plans for improving conditions in gen
eral on the island. Larger buildings are
to be asked he said, sanitary condi-
lions improved, additional cots pro.
vided for those unable to get beds and
many other conveniences for the immi
grant are to be installed.
Kind and decent treatment for al
new arrivals has been demanded by
Commissioner Wallis who has already
announced the discharge of some of the
veteran attendants for alleged harsh
ness or inefficiency in receiving immi-
grants. Their places have been filed by
more courteous, attentive and younger
men.
81 propose to make this receiving
station representative of all America
promises, - he said.
Commissioner Wallis asserted that he
planned to install baths at the Island
in order that every individual entering
the country will be given a bath and
have his clothes sterilized before he en-
tiers the station.
"They made our soldiers do this ,
he said, $50 why not make our immi-
grants. This will be a big step toward
preventing disease from entering ouI
gates and will have a great moral and
physiological effect"
One of the latest improvements by
COMMISSIONS Wallis has been the sup
plying of warm milk to mothers with
babies. This was done as soon as the
commissioner learned that chilled milk
made the infants sick.
When he learned that hundreds o.
immigrants were iammed in the deten.
tiOn pens the commissioner ordered the
liberation of the occupants and gave
them the freedom of the large examina
tion hall.
Commissioner Wallis has appealed tc
Washington to remove the alleged rad
icals and anarchists detained at the Is
land for deportation, because OF
crowded conditions at the immigration
station.
s'They are a defiant lot and should
be deported,' - he said. "They occupy
a room that could accommodate a cou
pie of hundred immigrants"
Railroads have also been asked by
the commissioner to provide better
transportation facilities for the immi
grants and stop employees from "graft
ing'' from the newcomers. He also
wants them to be properly fed while be
ing detained for entrainment.
While funds are not Immediately
available for improvements at the Is
land, Commissioner Wallis said, he viii
ask congress to provide the money. Fl,
said that he had already asked permits,
sion to raise funds by public subscrip
tion if the necessary money could not
be provided by the government.

by rev. VI. y. DLeeTe OF west heTlueH,
Conn.
A married lady, living in a neighboring
town, discovered while combing her hair
some very disgusting looking worms on
her head and upon examination she
found her chignon badly infested with
the same horrid insects. Her husband
also found one in his hair. The lady
consigned her chignon to the flames at
once.
We learn on good authority that the
works of the Stanley Rule and Level
company of this village are soon to be
removed to New Britain, Conn, where
the principal business of the company is
located. 1t is a matter of no little re
greet, inasmuch as it will probably lead
to the removal of some of our best citi-
zens and mechanics, about 20 of whom
are employed in this branch of the
works.
On Monday evening about half past
seven o'clock, fire was discovered issuing
from the slaughter house of w. F. Rich
ardson, located near the old camp
ground. Mr.. l.. ID. Reyes was the first one
TO notice the flames and he promptly
raised the alarm. Owing to the highly
cOmbustible nature of the contents of
the building, the main part, together
with two adjoining sheds, was totally
consumed before the engines could arrive.
Fortunately no live animals were de-
stroyed. The stock lost consisted of two
dressed beef creatures, several dressed
lambs, eight barrels of lard and a a
tity of hides. There was no insurance.
AT the temperance, meeting of last
Sunday the opening remarks were made
by a newly reformed drunkard whose
name we failed to learn, but whose Ian
guage indicated the depth to which he
had fallen and the earnestness of his
present determination.
Charles Harris of West Brattleboro has
raised this season from one potato of the
Climax" variety 90 pounds of potatoes,
measuring a bushel and a half. Have any
of our farmers done better?
We are glad t. learn that arrange
ments have been made whereby the fur
nlture business of the late firm of Hen
d Bassett will be continued. @. B..
Douglas of Brattleboro, in connection
with l.. W. Hawley of Windsor. Vt,
has purchased stock, tools and book ac-
and assumed management of the
firm. Mr.. Henkel will remain as will
most OF the former workmen. Messrs.
Douglas and Hawley are young men of
flrst rate business capacity and we feel
assured will command success.
