The Decreasing Foreign Born.
(New York World.)

From the figures of immigration for the year ending June 30 just given out S05,228 the idea might be gained that the influx of foreign -born when halted on June 30 by the Immigration Law had almost resumed it's oldtime importance. Quite the contrary is the
 During the year PATHS immigrants left the lcountry, and the departures of nonmmgrant aliens lactually exceeded arrivals by 5000 Death meantime temoye well POOL 900. The net increment O. some 350.000 foreign born did appreciably add to their percentage of the total
 That percentage sharply fell during the war de cade, the number of foreignborn increasing durins the ten years only one-hth as fast the genera total In 1910 the foreign-born population of New York State was nearly 90 per cent; in 1920 it Was 261 per cent Most surprising of all is the in New York City the gateway of the New World. Ihe percentage of foreign born decreased during the last decade from 404 to 354.
 That the Immigration Law must be recast is con ceded. The revision need be undertaken in pan c fear of being swamped by foreign hordes" In pro portion to the total population. the foreign borr population of the United States is decreasing

MANY COMMITTED
FOR TRESPASSING

According TO NJ. s. Plummer. war
den OF the New Castle County Work
house, lack OF employment and the
wholesale arrests being made for
railroad trespassing such as rid
ing freight trains. has caused such
an increase in the population OF the
workhouse that the warden fears
the institution will be overcrowded
within a short time.
There are now $50 inmates at the
workhouse; OF this number sixty are
men arrested for trespassing. steal
ing rides in "sidedoor Pullmans." or
for similar offenses. according to
Warden Plummer. The present
population OF the workhouse COM
poses the limit that can be accom-
modated there without making speci-
al arrangements for housing addi-
tional guests" Mr.. Plummer said.
Most Of these men arrested for
trespassing are by no means men
OF criminal tendencies" the warden
stated. They are largely men who
are willing to work and who were
on their way trying 10 get work when
they were arrested; and some OF
them were probably glad TO be ar
rested and gain a place to sleep and
eat and work for an interval.
1T the winter was here we would
have many more such cases. Men
would be committing crimes just
for the sake OF getting arrested and
getting in out OF the cold. AS IL is
now, there are many men. ordinarily
good living men, who. because they
are unable to find work, are on the
bum sleeping in woods, with the
sky their only roof. Unless condi-
tions improve between now and cold
weather I expect that many OF these
men will be arrested because they
cannot find employment, and will be
relying on prisons to furnish the
comforts OF home
Mr. Plummer said that the men
who are confined TO the workhouss
on sentences for minor offenses
such as illegal car riding and tres
passing. are placed at work on the
farm and have demonstrated tha'
they are not only good workers, but
are anxious to work.
