Big Rush of Immigrants
Expected at Ellis Island
Authorities Are Preparing for
the Largest Influx in the
Countries History

Authorities at Ellis Island are re-
organizing their departments and in
creasing the number of their subordi-
mates in preparation for what they be-
heve may be the greatest influx Of i'm
migrants in the history of America.
TO see that the local immigration
bureau is doing all things necessary to
meet this unexpected influx, Alfred
Hampton, Assistant Commissioner
Genera of immigration, came to New
York from Washington yesterday to
confer with Acting Commissioner Uhl.
There are indications that this
country is on the eve of a very great
rush of immigration" he said at NAV
pc such as we have never seen be-
fore
Until very recently there have been
more persons going out Of the country
than there were coming in. Last No
vember about 10000 departures were
llsted from New York There were
only about 10000 incoming For the
month of January there was a marked
increase in arrivals. Many of those
VINO went over are coming back, and
they are bringing with them their
brothers, sisters and other relatives"

corporation of Newark and plaintiff in
the action brought against Joseph L.
Bodine and Charles V. Duffy, United
States Attorney and Collector of In
ternal Revenue Of New Jersey, respec-
lively. The action aims to prevent the
application by the defendants of the
prohibition amendment and the Vol
stead act against the plaintiff corpora
ton.
An attempt on the part of the Anti
Saloon League of New Jersey to make
itself part defendant in the case was
held up at the start. Application was
made by George S. Hobart, represent
ing the Anti-Saloon League, for per-
mission to file brief. This Mr.. Guth-
RE opposed with the argument that the
interests of the government and of the
league were identical and there was no
necessity of third party in the case
Mr.. Guthrie argued, also, that the late
filing of an Anti Saloon League brief
would give counsel for the plaintiff no
opportunity for study of the new as
pect presented, and would retard the
action. Judge Rellstab announced that
he would give decision in few days
Mr.. Guthrie opened the argument for
the plaintiff with the assertion that
the prohibition amendment was void
because it conflicted with the implied
limitations to the amending powers Of
the constitution. The Eighteenth
Amendment, he declared, was really not
ar amendment at all, but legislation
governing the conduct of individuals.
MIR. Guthrie insisted that the Eigh-
tcenth Amendment was invalidated by
reason of failure to comply with the
provisions of Article V of the Consti-
tuition, which says that a constitutional
amendment shall only be presented
after it has been determined by two
thirds vote of both houses Of Congress-
This, it was asserted, had not been
done, and the question of the prohibit
tion of alcoholic liquor had never, Mr..
Guthrie said, been passed upon by
members of Congress. who had thrown
the issue upon the various state lcgis-
laturcs instead.
The definition Of half of 1 per
cent alcoholic content as the limit of
a Notwithstanding beverage, Mr.. Guth
rie asserted, was "little short of being
preposterously arbitrary and lacking
foundation in fact" This he argued
was particularly evident in view of the
fact that during the war 2.75 alcoholic
content had been helv to be non-in
toxicating.

Fog Plays Strange Tricks
In Hurb0r and Manhattan
Ferry Lost on River, Shipping Is Tied Up and Com.
muters Struggle Against Handicap of Disorgan-
lied Transit Conditions; Accidents Not Serious

The weather man, looking out Of his
observatory on the Whitehall Building
Ato an impenetrablc curtain of mist,
last night predicted for this morning
repetition of the seasons heaviest
fog which turned the curses of pedes
trians near-frozen on Monday toward
the frolicsome whims of rising tenn
peraturc.
Following swift upward bound Of
the mercury from zero to 80 degrees,
a fog began settling over the Atlantic
coast from Block Island to Philadel-
phia early Monday night. 1t probably
will linger late to-day, the weather
man predicted, giving way to rain or
snow and colder weather The reason
for it all was a high pressure area
over the Middle Atlantic States.
The metropolitan district had hazy
morning yesterday. While mortals on
land CROPPED and choked in an equal
mixture of fog and smoke, harbor traf
tic battled with ice foes and fog blind
ness.
Commuters Fug-Bound
Shortly after Monday midnight the
ferries began playing a laggard game
of hde-and-s seek with the haze. Some
stopped altogether, others ran on dizzy
schedules. With dawn the situation
ceased to be merely funny when thous-
ands of commuters found themselves
fog locked.
The Fort Lee ferryboat Leonia
played Maid of the Mist up and down
North River for two and a half hours,
beginning at 500 a. m Her engines
being too weak to force the boat
through huge foes Of ice, the Leonia,
utterly lost, moaned her way about
like a lost soul and finally returned to
her Jersey berth. When the tie-up
was finally broken the crowd, half Of
whom had not paid their fares,
swarmed over the gangways on to q
waiting ferry and left the distracted
gatemen the memory of hectic three
hours.
The wind however, later blew ice
foes to the Manhattan shore, so many
boats had to make four or five at
tempts before making their slips
Everywhere the ferries ran from ten
minutes to half an hour behind sched-
ule, forcing "a crush in the Jersey
tubes when many persons sought that
means of getting to work.
In the harbor only few tugs and
lighters crept about. their shippers
leaning frequently on the whistle

Gas Kills Five Men Day
After Arrival in u. S.
Sixth Body Found With Young
Spaniard's in Lodging
House in Newark

Within twenty -four hours of their
arrival in this country from Andalusia.
whence they had come with visions of
gaining fame and fortune in the West
ern world, five young Spanards were
found dead early yesterday morning in
a small room in a lodging house at 351
Market Street, Newark, N. j. A sixth
man, who had been in this country for
one month, had died with them. Death
was due to asphyXiation caused the
police believe, by defective gas fix
ture
The dead men were Espren Mora. Be
nito Peres, Jose Castro, Dominica Es-
tobos, Agostin Postas and Emilio Mo-
rono. All except Morono reached New
York on an ocean liner on Monday af-
ternoon and were sent to Newark, there
a shipyard in Port Newark A messen-
ger came for them just as their bodies
were being removed to the Morgue.
After an investigation by County
Physician Warren, the police arrested
Jesus Grana, proprietor OF the rooming
house in which the men were found
and charges of criminal negligence may
be lodged against him. Both windows
in the room We're tightly closed and
Grana told the police the foreigners,
unaccustomed to gas, had blown it out
on retiring. DR.. Warren examined the
fixture, however, and it is alleged found
it impossible to stop the flow of gas by
turning it off.
The bodies of two other men, gas vic
times, were found at % Hobson Avenue,
Laurel Hill, yesterday. They were
James and John Hyman, brothers, thir-
ty-thrce and twenty-siX years old re-
spectively. Dr. Boozer, of St. Johns
Hospital, Long Island City, said they
had been dead for forty-eight hours

could not be made out, while not
ship moved in or out Of the harbor
after 5:62 Monday afternoon until we'll
toward yesterday noon. Among the
steamships fogbound somewhere be-
tween Quarantine and Sandy Hook
were the Arapahoc, City of Savannah,
Re dltalia Roma, Minkckahda, San
Juan, Ponce, Ell Almirante, Ell Norte
and West Eldara.
Along the water front in the morn
ing pedestrians met and passed like so
many ships in the night. For time
1T looked as If the lower part of the
town were populated by spirits of Sir
Oliver Lodges conjuration.
During the day thousands who came
to work prepared for zero weather
sighed for touch Of the self-same
cold. Ankle-deep slush. spray-hinging
automobiles and thousands of persons
with overcoats over their arms trans
formed the streets into a scene ordi-
narily common to early spring. The
Street Cleaning Department set gangs
of men to work cleaning the down
town pavements of slush
The fog decorated the Custom House
and Barge Office with white coat of
frost where the mist had completely
IL VEN'' NNVi llIclI giving tnc
edihces the appearance Of fairy ice pal
aces.
Accidents Due to Fog
Two minor transit accidents due to
the fog were reported during the day.
A tie-up Of subway and elevated trains
between Long Island City and Manhat-
tan occurred early in the morning
when Second Avenue elevated train
crashed into the rear of westbound
Grand Central subway train at the
Long Island City Lowery Avenue sta
tion Of the greensboro extension. The
rear car of the subway train was de-
rallied and the wooden front car of the
elevated train was shattered.
Some passengers were injured by
flying glass. Mrs. Antonio Mahowski,
Of 116 Grove Street, Winfield, tainted
and was taken to St. Johns Hospital
suffering from shock.
Passengers on train of the White
stone division of The Long Island Rail
road, due in New York at 9:25 a. m.
were severely shaken when freight
train crashed into the rear car outside
of Woodside
The lmm igrant, the little boat that
usually takes customs officials down
the bay to meet incoming vessels, did
not leave her berth at the Barge
Office early yesterday morning, as no
vessels had been reported in at Quar-

Poet Signs Contract for One

Good morning!
This is February a!
The weather to-day will
probably be snowy or rainy
There is much
talk and lots of
newspaperisms

these days about labor and capital,
which some persons discuss as
though capital and money were
equivalent and interchangeable
terms.
Capital is bigger word than
money because capital includes
intuitiveness, integrity, mentality,
executive ability, sagacity and
skill absolutely necessary to the
industries that require money to
float and further them.
Some of the fine old business
concerns of fifty years ago in
New York and Philadelphia have
gone down and disappeared for
lack of the genius of their fathers
and founders. But some of them
left million dollars in their wills
to their sons, who easily let the
hard earned money slip away in
speculations.
Money is only metal # men,
tality is not back of it.
Andrew Carnegie and Henry
c. Frick, Alexander Graham Bell
and Thomas A. Edison started
life with no other capital than
their healthy bodies, brains,
strong fingers and good eyes.
Stop the idle talk and gossip
of great concerns and business
men of affairs. who richly de-
serve all they have acquired.
Such men have made our coun-

you HEAR that can bless
you and inspire you.
A piano isn't music.
Striking the keys doesn't
produce music.
MUSIC lies hidden at the
end of a long, long road, over
which ninety-nine out of
every hundred men and
women haven't got time to
travel.
And so they have gone
without music-gone with
out that which is as sunshine
to the soul-except when, on
rare occasions they have
gone to a good concert or to
the opera.
But they have MISSED
music. They have desired
it. And generations of eff
fort have been directed to
the satisfying of this univer-
sal desire, eliminating in
the AMPICO Reproducing
Piano, which you may take
into your home, and which
will unfold for you, when
ever you wish, as often as
you wish, whatever you wish
of the worlds best music, as
played by more than one
hundred master pianists.
Through the CHECKER

HEAR music-real music
in the wonderfully sweet
tones of the oldest piano of
America-the ALL2Ameri-
can piano--the piano to the
accompaniment of which

ters of a century ago.
