IMMIGRATION
BILL IN ma
TIONAL HOUSE
Interview with COm.-Gen.
w. w. Husband on
Its Merits
washington Correspondence

washington Correspondence
Selection of immigrants-to- at
the source through the machinery
of the American Consulates abroad
is the aim of a new constructive
immigration bill introduced in the
House of Representatives on Sat
urday by Congressman Albert
Johnson, of Washington, chairman
of the House Committee on Immi-
grafton and Naturalization. It's
author maintains that the bill Gem
bodies the permanent immigration
policy of the United States.
Commissioner General of Irlmi-
grafton w. w. Husband, who was
consulted by Mr.. Johnson before
the bill was submitted, believes
that while the measure is "a step
in the right direction" it is by no
means a panacea for all the inyn-
grafton ills and the Commission
er points to the perpetuation of the
passport system unuer this pro
posed legislation as one of its chief
defects, in this respect taking a
position directly opposite to Con-
gresham johnson, who believes
that its continuation during peace
times is highly desirable.
Briefly, the Johnson bill provides
for the examination of prospective
immigrants at American consulates
abroad, authorizing the assignment
Of experienced immigrant inspect
ors and physicians to act as vice
consuls, and denying authority for
the granting of visas immigrants
except after examination by such
vice-consuls. Mr.. Johnson stated
that the bill had been carefully eX-
amined by many of the country's
foremost students Of the immigra-
ton problem.
"This bill "said Mr.. Johnson,
Gains to place the passport visa
system on a peace basis insofar as
the immigration service is con-
cerned. 1t is intended to prevent
the departure from foreign ports

2 sioner Wallis Says.

New York, Jan. 24.-Smuggling of
stowaways and members of ships
crews into the United States is be-
coming so prevalent that an organi-
zatioll has been formed which draws
lucrative fees from European crimi-
mails wishing 10 escape. it was report
cd by Commissioner Wallis.
Ranifications of the organization,
which charges $50 to place each
stowaway on ships leaving Europe,
extend not only throughout shipping
centers abroad, but also to steamship
officials, longshoremen and others in
this country, according to detec-
tive agency which discovered the Or
ganization.
The principal methods employed,
it was said include obtaining jobs
for a certain number on steamships
and these in turn hide others in holds
of ships. On arrival the Grew"
members lend their passes to the
stowaways, who escape examination
by immigration authorities. Through
collusion with longshoremen the
passes are returned to their original
holders who then come ashore.
Within the last two months, 1000
of these "seaneh" alone have unlaw-
fully entered this county, Mr.. Wallis
said. The practice is most prevalent
on Italian ships, he said.

Death Ends Long
Fight 6 for MADE"
Land in Chicago
"Cap'n" Streete1, Who Waged
Battle to Hold Rights on
Gold Coast" Found
Dead on HousebOat.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 24.-"Captain"
George Wellington Streeter, pictures
que, pugnacious claimant to 100 acres
OF made" land in Chicago's gold
coast" has given no the battle. He
was found dead this morning on his
houseboat at East Chicago. He had
apparently died Saturday night.
The houseboat was the scene OF
his exile ever since he was finally
ousted =from the "district of Lake
Michigan" by superior court order.
He ~had been living on the house
boat for several weeks.
"Capn" Streeter was 80 years old
and for many years has been IN the
courts, defending what he considered
his right to the "deestrlk" which
nature had created around him. He
was the Gabrielle d'Annunzio of the
district and he had about the same
ideas regarding law as has his coun-
terpart in Fiume.
tCap'n" Streeter's entrance into
the affairs of Chicago was as pictur-
esque as his career. A storm drove
his boat ashore, the gale wrecking
his schooner and leaving it on the
sands. That was in June. 1886, and
all he had left was the clothing he
was wearing and large quantity OF
driftwood. He continued to live in
the wreck OF the schooner and the
sand began to build around the
wreckage. In course of time this
amounted to more than 100 acres, iii
the richest district of Chicago's resi-
dental quarter. The city and gov
ernmcnt maps showed that all this
made land was beyond the
'cap'n's" wreck so he claimed it.
He tore apart his schooner and with
driftwood built cabin. Other ad-
vcnturers were attracted to the spot
and the "cap'n' organized a small
but efficient army and set up squat
ter's rights.
About this time began a series OF
battles to oust him which, during the
years they have ragged, have caused
two deaths, many bullet injuries, and
uumberless law suits. Wealthy resi-
dents Of the neighborhood began the
war by efforts to have Streeter's un-
slightly shack torn down. Up to that
time there had been no particular
question raised as to his ownership
of the made" territory. However,
it was valuable-Worth, at low es-
innate. $60,00U,000 to Sl00000,00O,
and many attorneys and spectators
broke into the game.

Kyle has admitted coh1plicity and

theft. All the cash has been recov-
