young Irish-Bohemian poet in a

win kisses from one thousand girls

NO NEWCOMERS
SENT, BACK HOME
RESTRICTIVE IMMIGRANT ION
LAW NOT so RESTRICTIVE AS
HAD BEEN ANTICIPATED.
SURPLUS OF POLES AND
TURKS PUZZLES OFFICIALS.

New York, July 21.-The restric-
tive immigration law which went in
to effect June 80 thus far has barred
no newcomers who have been able
to reach these shores.
Officials at the Ellis Island immi-
grafton station said today that while
European embarkation had been some
what curtailed, and there had been
some delays in admission of immi-
grants, none had been turned back
here because his country's quota has
been filled. The only persons ex-
cluded have been those unable to
meet the usual physical, mental and
moral tests.
At present, there is surplus of
only two nationalities. The July
quota for Greece of 657 already has
been filled with an excess of 40, while
Palestine has sent two more than its
quota of eleven.
These extra immigrants have ap-
piled for a hearing before they are
departed. AS there are no ships
sailing for Greece from New York
this month, the 49 at least will be
here in August and it will be up to
Washington to decide whether they
are to be admitted in the quota of
that month.
Ellis Island faces the prospect of
being crowded with Poles and Turks
for the July quotas are filled and
large numbers from these two coun-
tries are ON the high seas and due
before the end Of the month. "
Therefore rulings from Washing
ton are being eagerly awaited on
whether these Poles and Turks are
to be held over for charging against
the August quotas or shipped back
home. 80
Officials pointed out if premature
arrivals were admitted, quotas for the
last few months of the thirteen that
the restrictive law is in effect soon
would be used up.

arrangements in the new offer have
given considerable, trouble to the

Of Austin's Chamberlain the govern

BASEBALL PLAYERS
TELL OF SCANDAL
STATE TURNS FULL. STRENGTH
OF PROSECUTION ON WHITE
Sox scHEMERs TO BRING
ABOUT THEIR CONVICTION.
FOR THROWING SERIES.

Chicago July 19.-The state to-
day turned it's full strength into the
prosecution of the Chicago White
Sox baseball players and others
charged with the alleged conspiracy
which resulted in the 1919 world
series scandal by sending Bill Burns
who admitted being an accomplice
Of the defendants and who turned
states evidence in return for i'm
munity to the. witness stand to tell
the inside story Of the reported sell
out of some of the games greatest
players to gamblers who wanted the
series thrown to Cincinnati.
Burns, who was only about one
third through his story when court
adjourned for the day, was ques-
toned long enough to name Arnold
Rothstein of New York, Abe Attell,
former featherweisht pugilistic
champion; David Zelser of. Des
Moines,. one of the defendants, Billy
Maharg of Philadelphia, and himself
as among the organizers Of the al
legged conspiracy. He drew vivid
verbal pictures of numerous meet
ings between the players and the
alleged fixers in Cincinnati hotels
the day of the first two games of the
1919 series, saying that the athletes
agreed to make the series "made to
order sone," throwing games just as
desired. /. o..
Burns testified that Eddie Cicotte
one of the American leagues great
est pitchers, said he "would throw
the first game if he had to throw the
ball over the fence"
Burns identified David Zelser as a
man he had known as Bennett dur
ing the forming Of the alleged con-
spiracy and declared that Bennett, or
Zelser was present at most of the
meetings when reported sell-out
was arranged.
Burns said Abe AtteN had termed
Rothstein a walking bank" who
would pay all he promised but that
after the first game Attell refused to
give him any money, saying he could
not pay the players until he col
lected the bets made. The players
were to get $4,000 after each game
lost, Burns said.
Rothstein testified before the
grand jury last fall that he was ap-
preached on the deal but refused to
60 into it and that his name was used
by Abe Atteh without his permission.
Burns testimony was broken by
repeated arguments by the Vari 'us
attorneys who succeeded in having
some of his testimony barred, par
ticulary that dealing with CONVEX
sation with Cicotte in New York
prior to the series.
