coal operators and miners in the
federal court at Indianapolis and
who resigned after differences with
Attorney General Palmer over the
evidence to be used, has been sum-
moned to appear before the senate
committee investigating the coal
situation.
The committee was to have con-
tinued its hearings tomorrow, but
decision was reached today to post

"Immigration from Japan to the
continent of the United States
shows an increase of l per cent over
the preceding fiscal year, while that
to Hawaii shows a decrease of 6 per
cent, the admission in figures being
12,86s to the mainland and 3,3O6
to Hawaii as against 11,404 and g.
500, respectively, in 1919.
Surprise is Found
GAS stated in the last annual re-
port, 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 q
new rule which promised solution
of the question. Contrary to this ex-
pectation the number of arrivals of
such wives increased from 3,189 in
1919 to 3,s16 in 1920. This tend
ency caused continued study of the
subject. Finally Jajan fixed by de-
cree, the 29th of February Of this
year, the last day upon which pass
ports would be issued to socalled
proxy brides and as the holders of
such documents had six months in
which to apply for entry, September
l., 1920, saw the end Of this system.

ton from Canada during the last
fiscal year broke all records, and
there was tremendous increase in
immigration from. Mexico as we'll as
from the European countries, An
thony Caminetti, commissioner gen.
eral of immigration, says in his an
nual report.
Aliens from Canada admitted to
the country, the report says, num-
bered 9O,025 while aliens departing
numbered 1866 leaving. an excess
of S2,957. In addition 1885 aliens
in Canada who applied for admis-
sion were debarred, while 5,328
were refused examination, the re-
port says, because of inability or
unwillingness to meet the head tax
requirement.
Admission of aliens from Mexico
totalled 52,361, while the number Of
aliens going to Mexico from. the
United States numbered $500 leav-
ing on excess of 45,755. During the
previous fiscal year the admissions
of immigrant, aliens from Mexico
numbered 29,S18. !.
Europe sent a total of 246,295
immigrant aliens to the United
States in the past fiscal year, while
256;433 emigrant aliens left the
Unied States for Europe, causing a
decrease in alien population Of TO-
1873. Immigrant aliens admitted
from Asia numbered 1865 and
emigrant aliens departing for Asia
numbered 9,441, leaving an excess
of S,S44.
Resumption of immigration on a
large scale and efforts to deport
alien anarchists made the last fiscal
