U. s. Passengers in Fury.

Il Nht ld W HltItlN SiipuidtCu thdt when a nation had sent us 3 per cent of its 1910 population no more would bc admitted there would be no difficulty: the overflow could simply be shipped back home, with Uncle Sams regrets But this 15 of 3 per cent each month business has them all guessing. Or did at first
 It didn't take the willy foreigner long to catch onto the joker and turn the trick against us. Eight lit- tie nations used up their quotas dur ing July, which was the first month. When it came around toward the last of he month, did the liners bring immigrants to this country put in, learn they were too late be- cause the months quota was full, and put back?, They did not.
 Much to the disgust even to the fury, of some hundreds of American citizens who happened to be passen- gers, eight big transatlantic liners due late in July calmly delayed their arrival in New York until the first of the month. One, the Megali Hell las, Greek liner, with 130 Ameri- cans aboard. arrived off Fire Island July 29 and despite the rage and hair tearing of the United States citizens, dropped another and stayed there. just outside the three-mile limit, until August dawned. The Joker Has Brother
 Several other liners, one big one rom Italy among them, followed nit. On the stroke of midnight, when July became August, there was grand rush across the line With a footing of whistles the inn migrant-bearing cavalcade swept town upon Ellis Island Their pas ~engers would have been in excess of the first months quota, but this was August now, and that was an other matter.
 It is reasonable to suppose, immi- sration officials say, that this per formance will be repeated around September 1 and again the first of each month until at midnight, No vember 30, the last grand rush begins.
 To cope with the situation it has been decided by local officials that all surplus immigrants shall be ad- Enitted upon personal bonds, if they gan find. them, until October .1.A It Is hoped that a Federal law, some what less exciting, will be enacted before that time. It is believed the framers of the present measure, which is temporary, failed to fore zee the jazzy effects of estheir leg islation.f " 8S gk
 So ,thes Immigrants who waits out idle the line until the new month begins are really wasting their time. )ecarse they could get in, anyway. But they don't know it-so the game is just as exciting as though it were real.

1OO,OOO.OOO VOLTS IN

Scientist Declares Man Can

100000 Volts.

Schenectady. Oct. DIR. Charles Is.
Steinmetz declared Wednesday after
noon at a dinner OF the Kiwanis Club.
speaking on the subject of Light
ming, that only in the last few years.
with the advance of electrical engi-
neering, has science become able to
understand and explain the electrical
phenomena of the thunderstorm. 10
calculate the voltage and the energy
o. the lightning flash, and finally we
have been able to reproduce lightning
experimentally in our laboratory"
He said that corroborative evidence
had shown that the voltage of a light
ming flash was usually between 20
100000 and 100000, 900 volts, averag-
ing probably about $4,000 600 volts.
DIR. Steirmetz continued:
1t is hard to conceive what l 900. 600
volts means. Five hundred volts viii
kill a man.
Today We are sending electric DOW
er across the country at 22O, 600 volts
Thus in the forty years since Edison :
first installation we have increased the
voltage in our electric circuits a thou-
sandfold. We have produced and
played with over 100000 volts. and
the voltage of the thunderclouds i~
only fifty times higher than what man
has produced"

JOE JACKSON SUED
 FOR TAINTED KALE

Greenville, s. c. - Joe Jackson, former Chicago White Sox outfielder, may have to pay upwards of S1,200 meme tax and penalty on the S5,0OO he is said to have received during tho world series of 1919, according 10 a statement today by James H. Price, a local attorney, who has been retained as counsel by Jackson Efforts were started by treasury department off, cfalS to collect income tax on the S5,000 shortly after Jackson was al leged to have made his confession, Mr. Price said
 Jackson failed to include the S5.OOO in making out his income tax return, taking the view, it was said that it was received as a gift. MT. Price. who will appear as associate counsel for Jackson in the hearing at Chicago next month. has been engaged in the income tax phase of the case and has presented Jackson's claim to the treasury department, lit is expected a decision will be given soon by treasury officials.
