ALIENS ADMITTED I
DESPITE DEFECTS
AND DISEASE

washington, Feb. 9-Figures were
laid before the House immigration
committee today by the public health
service to show that of 10,0O2 immi-
grants who arrived at Ellis Island in
the last six months of 1920 and who
the health service certified as unable
to earn living because of disease or
physical defects, 9.779 were admitted
by immigration officials. The figures
as presented also showed that of 112
persons certified as having mental
defects fifty We're admitted and that
OF BOO persons classed as having loath-
some or contagious diseases 1877 were
allowed to land.
Surgeon General Cumming, who pre-
sented the figures, said such admis-
sions had had bad effect" on the
morale of the public health service.
The committee, obviously impressed
by the surgeon generals testimony, at
the close of its session sent a tele-
graphic request to DR.. ]. w. Kerr,
public health official at Ellis Island
to appear before it.
Reports from Rupert Blue, former
surgeon general. now in Europe, DR..
Cumming said, led him to believe ev-
cry precaution was necessary to pre-
vent typhus from getting into the
United States. The surgeon general
asserted that measures to permit COM
MERGE to go on and to safeguard at
the same time the nations health
were causing him considerable wor-
ry.", There was every indication, he
added, that typhus would spread in
Europe.
Italy alone had objected to inspec-
ton of immigrants and ships by rep
resentatives of the public health SER
vice, DR.. Cumming continued AS a
result, American consuls at Italian
ports have been instructed to with
hold from the vessels bills of health,
he said.
DR.. Cumming said that he knew of
no provision of law which would per-
NIT the landing of persons affected
with dangerous or loathsome diseas-
es," and that the public health service
was not authorized to follow up per-
sons whom it had certified as inadmis-
sable, but who had been admitted.
Replying to a question from Chair
man johnson, DR.. Cumming said
Health Commissioner Copeland of
New York City had suggested that
Camp Dix be acquired as a detention
camp for immigrants.

Troopers Twice Forced
to Fire on Rioters -
Scores Hurt When

va d e d -Strik e.
Breakers Injured by
Flying Stones.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 9-Rioting more
serious than any previously report
ed occurred late today in connec-
ton with the street railway strike
of the United Traction Company's
1900 employees in Albany, Troy and
surrounding municipalities.
State troopers twice found it
necessary to make use Of their fire
arms to quell disturbances in which
non-union workers of the company
were showered with stones and
bricks from house tops in the vicin-
ity of the North Albany barns of the
company, where the men were at
work repairing broken trolley wires.
Orders by the chief of police of
Troy to his men "to shoot to kill''
and the stoning of a car were report
ed in Troy, where there was some
improvement over yesterday in the
rioting conditions.
In Albany for time late this aft
ernoon it seemed that the disorder
would get out of control of the state
and city police. Use of clubs and
firearms was resorted to before order
was finally established. Scores of
persons in the crowds wrich attempt
ed to force their way inside the
police lines We're slightly injured as
the police brought their batons into
play, and half dozen strike break
ers We're hurt by flying stones, one
Of them being seriously injured.
No attempt was made to operate
cars in this city today because
wires for many blocks north and
south OF the, company's barns had
been torn down by strike sympathiz-
ers yesterday and last night.
The trouble in Troy occurred at
midday. The only car operated by
the company was stalled by cut
wires. The car was stones as soon
as it was brought to a stop and
mounted patrolman was injured on
the head by stone. The crowd
surged forward but it was dispersed
by the police, who, after surround
ing the strike breaking crew. and the
accompanying guards, fired shots
from their revolvers. One man was
arrested.
Although the situation in Albany
was considered serious the author
tiles declared that they were conf
dent that the city police, assisted by
the lstate troopers who went on duty
today in compliance with a request
by Mayor Watt. would be able to
preserve order. No request. they
said, would be made to have the
national guard called out.

Head Gives. Views to
Bay State Fruit Men

Boston, Feb. adjusting trees is
better than spraying them as a pre-
tentative of pests, the Massachusetts,
Fruit Growers Association was told
today by F. n. Dudley, State horti-
culturist for Maine.
busting has been proven by tests
in Maine to be quicker and more CT
fective than spraying, he said. A
crew can dust 300 trees in 81 min
utes. The material used is arsenate
of lead, sulphur and tobacco dust.
Cost will depend on the proportions
of the mixture.
The spraying method was discussed
by P. T. Parott, entomologist for New
York state. The leaf hopper which
causes leaves to curl up and harden
was more pestiferous last year than
in quarter of a century, he said,
and he advocated spraying rose bush
es against it's activities by the first of
June.

can act relating TO the taxation of
steam railroads during the years 1921,
1922 and 1928" drew a large crowd
Wednesday afternoon to the hall of
the House of Representatives, where
the committee on Taxation gave
hearing on the question of abating
taxes on all steam roads in the State
for the next three years. The hearing
lasted from 2 to o'clock.
1t was stated by Chairman Allen
in opening that the proponents of the
bill would first be heard. then the OPP
ponents, the session being then open
inquiries to be made and answered
through the chairman.
Charles H Blatchford. general coun-
sci of the Maine Central, had charge
of the presentation of the proponents
case. He introduced Norris McDon-
aid. president of the Maine Central.
who explained at length the condition
Of his road. which he said was appli-
cable to all the roads of Maine. Mi.
Mcdonald said:
Statement of President Mcdonald
Mr.. Norris Mcdonald, president of
the Maine Central Railroad Com
pany, made an exhaustive state
ment of the conditions which the
Maine Central road is undergoing.
He introduced his remarks thus:
1.-THE railroads of the State OF
Maine are today confronted with the
problem of meeting their financial
obligations. 1t is not alone a prob
lem of securing necessary funds to
pay return on property invest
ment and making needed replace
ments, betterments and extensions,
but it is the question of finding
means to meet current operating eX-
penses. This problem confronts ev-
cry railroad of the State. and what
I shall say of the Maine Central
Railroad is true in greater or less de-
gree of all.
THE Maine Central Railroad Com
pany operates 1,216.41 miles Of road,
1,022.73 miles of which are in Maine.
Until overtaken by present con-
ditions the Maine Central has been a
prosperous road. 1t has never earned
or paid large dividends and has not
attempted to do so. In years past
as the volume of it's business in
creased its rates were decreased so
that they have always compared ia
vorably with the rates of roads en-
joying much greater density of traffic.
1t has sought to foster and serve
Maine industries and be a useful
agency in the development of the
State. In this endeavor it has met
with reasonable measure of sue
cess.
"Since 1914 when. the control of the
Maine Central Railroad by the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad terminated.
the Maine Central has been regarded,
and has regarded itself as a State of
Maine enterprise. All but 1872 of the
holders of its common stock. and all
but Is of the owners of its preferred
stock on January rs. 1921. resided in
New England. Nearly 1870 of the
common stockholders and almost
300 of the preferred stockholders
are residents of Maine. This is true
because it has been the policy of the
State and of the Company to make
