$1,100,00O Sugar Suit
Is Won by Importer
II Buyers and Crocers Must
Pay for Goods Contracted
For at % Gents

Justice Cohalan in the Supreme Court
yesterday denied the applications of
twenty seven wholesale grocery firms
and buyers of sugar for injunctions to
restrain ~Lamborn G. Co., sugar i'm
porters, OF 1872 Front Street, from col
lecting on credits established for the
latter with various banks in payment of
sugar purchased by the petitioners for
the injunctions.
The sugar was contracted for last
spring at % cents 4 pound 1t was
shipped from Java by Lamborn g. Co.
to the order of the twcnty-seven firms
that asked for injunctions. but when
the sugar was delivered in Baltimore
the price Of the commodity had
slumped to 10 cents pound.
The purchasers brought suit on the
ground that Lamborn & Co. had not
lived up to the terms Of the purchase,
in that the firm substituted another
vessel for the one designated by the
sugar purchasers as the bottom that
should carry their order.
The amount OF money involved was
about s1,l00 900. but the decision by
Justice Cohalan, if sustained upon ap-
peal, will affect deliveries amounting
to millions of dollars executed on
sugar contracts by refining companies
under what is known as irrevocable
credits.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-.When a
man deserts his wife it is i,enerally
the woman's fault, according to a deci-
sion reached by the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. AS result. the
subject will be gravely debated by the
United States Senate behind closed
doors within the next few days.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Mas
sachusetts, will lead the negative side
with only one supporter in the com
mlttee, Mr.. Lodge favored ratification
or the treaty with Canada providing fo-
extradition of wife deserters. Mr..
Lodge promised to carry the fight to
the floor of the Senate and seek to WIN
two-thirds vote for ratification there
despite the heavy vote against him in
committee
Inc affirmative side of the debate
Will be led by Senator Atlee Pomerene
OF ONO. Mr.. Pomerene insisted with
some neat in the committee that, as A
lawyer for wives who had been desert
ca Dy thelr husbands, he had on occa-
sion found it advisable to keen the
woman in the case out Of tho ~ court' 'rte
room, on the theory that if the iudre
and jury could hear her sharp tongue
there would be nothing but sympathy

f.nNrOVernont

New York must adopt and pursue an
adequate plan of port development or
the Federal government will take the
management of the port out Of the
hands of the city, B. F. Cresson said
last night at a meeting at the En-
gineering Societies Building Mr. Cres-
son is consulting engineer for the New
York-New Jersey Port and Harbor De-
velopment Commission, which is to
make report soon.
Belt line railroads must be built to
serve the whole watersde, he said, and
harhor facilities throughout the port
must be developed in such way as to
render the port as whole more eff
cient. The so-called "West Side Man.
haitian Railroad" must be built, he
said. to bring rail service direct to the
water fronts Of the Bronx, Brooklyn,
Queens and Richmond, and he suggest
ed system of coming either as to
trade routes or commodities.
Machinery for loading and unloading
vessels and cars would not in itself
solve the problem, he said, but he
thought that such machinery should be
. installed. There must be modern
system of markets, he said, and more
unified control of trucking.

Come From Europe

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Immigra-
ton from Canada during the last fiscal
year broke all records. and there was a
tremendous increase in immigration
from Mexico, as we'll as from the Eu-
ropean countries, Anthony Caminetti,
Commissioner General of immigration,
says in his annual report, made public
to-day
Aliens admitted from Canada num-
bered 90,025 and those from Mexico to-
tailed 52,36l
Europe sent total Of PAS 295 immi-
grant aliens to the United States in the
last fiscal year, while 256.433 cmirrant
aliens left the United States for Eu-
rope, causing d decrease in alien popu-
lation Of 1913. Immigrant aliens ad-
tied from Asia numbered 1906 ana
emlgrant aliens departing for Asia
numbered 9,441.
Resumption of immigration on q
large scale and efforts to deport alien
anarchists made the last fiscal year the
busiest of any since the inauguration
OF the immigration service, the report
says.
Increase From the Orient
N''i4ieoC iHiIHlS @LiOH, Luo report
continues, "shows an increase over the
preceding year, the number Of adms-
sions having risen from 3,340 for per-
manent residence in 1919 to 1890 in
1920.
Immigration from Japan to the
United States shows an increase of l3
per cent over the preceding fiscal year,
while that to Hawaii shows a decrease
OF = per cent, the admissions in figures
being 1888 to the mainland and 3,3O5
to Hawaii, as against IL, ,404 and $500,
respectively, II 1915.
"As stated in the last annual report,
the practice then obtaining as to the
admission of proxy brides as alleged
brides of Japanese in this country WAS
not satisfactory to the department. and
the result was new rule which prom
lsed a solution OF the question. Con-
trary to this expectation, the numbc r
Of arrivals OF such wives increased
from 3,lS9 in 1919 to 8 GIG in 1920. THIS
tendency caused continued study of the
subject. Finally Japan fixed by deere G
February 20 Of this year as the last day
upon which passports would be issued
to sc-called proxy brides, and, as the
holders Of such documents had six
months in which to apply for entry,
September |. 1920, saw the end of this
system. The granting of passports un-
der the gentlemen's agreement, with
the exception mentioned, will continue
as heretofore by Japan.
May Have Proxy Bridegrooms
"In the last report reference was
made to laws of Spain and Portugal
which permit person. native of either
Of those counties, who may be in a
foreign jurisdiction to name by power
of attorney an attorney in fact to rep
resent such persons in a marriage ccre-
mony to be consummatcd in the home
country in the absence of the bride or
bridegroom, as the case may be. Pro-
ceedings have arisen where an alleged
bride had made application for admis-
sion to the United States to join an al
legged husband. Thus, as the proxy
bride experience on the Pacific Coast
is about to cease. t. IS possible to have
it continued on th. Atlantic side, with
the probable addition of a proxy bride
