IMMIGRANT IS LABOR HEAD.

Washington, D. C.--Forty years age
IN immigrant boy eight years old
from Tredegar, Wales passed wistfully
through the old immigration station al
Castle Garden to the land Of oppor-
tunity which was to accord him high
public honors in later life.
Recently this boy, James ]. Davis
now Secretary Of Labor, stood among
the immigrant throngs at the Ellis
Island station. He was making the
first OF series of inspections in q
general survey Of immigration stations
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, for
the purpose, he said, of improving the
service "along common-sense and
heart-sense lines"
Secretary Davis was not long in
putting the heart sense" idea into eff

would have deported recently widow
and her four little children and a pref

ordered that an appealing Spanish
stowaway, clad in rags and wearing
broken shoes, from which his bare
feet protruded, be outfittcd.

Wis displayed in recommending several
changes which he believed would bet

EMBRYO CARUSO
FOUND IN MINE
italian Coal Digger to Get
Grand Opera Chance.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July 1.
An embryo Caruso has been discovered,
33, an Italian coal miner Of Papeton, near
here, according to the belief of Professor
Brown, head of the School of Music at
Colorado College, and through the gem
crosby of wealthy locaI residents Gheno
will egiyen an extensive education in
music In an effort to fit him for grand
opera.
Gheno who cams to this country FIVE
years ago, was discovered by Prof A. P.
R. Drucker Of Colorado College, at an en-
tertainment in Papeton, when the Italian
sang several songs Of his native land. The
singing was so remarkable and the tone
and volume so tremendous that Drucker
was astonished. He sought out the miner
later and had his voice tested by Pro-
fessor Brown.
Gheno's voice so surprised Professor
Brown, who has trained many notable
soloists, that he insisted upon Gheno at
once taking up the study of music. Gheno
at first demurred, because of lack of
funds.
Il have to make money to support my
wife and two children" the miner told
mines all day and am too tired at night
to study
But the two college professors raised
a fund to care for Gheno and his fam
lily during a year Of study. It Is pre-
dicted that it will take nearly that time
to train the Italian for concert work, as
he has no knowledge whatever Of the
technique Of music. Despite the fact that
he cannot read A note, 1t is said that
his tenor voice offers tremendous posi-
bilities as he has been singing the Ital-
ian folk songs for many years.
Gheno's training VIII start this week

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, June l.
Swinging with the tide in q sheltered
and landlocked harbor. $40O 10000
worth of merchant shiDs ride idly at
anchor in the James River.
These ships are vessels built by the
United States Shipping Board during
no use.
Two hundred and fifty Of the craft
are built of wood and 1S5 are Of iron
and steel.
Capt. F. J. Walcott is custodian of
tins Dautical graveyard, but insists that
it is a storehonse and not a graveyard.
The wooden ships are in frstclass
shape and ready for tction, Captain
Walcott declares. He further states
that the 5000 900, 600 Uncle Sam spent on
the wooden ships was not thrown away,
but that a use will be found for the yes
sells.
Machinery has been removed from
most Of the ships and sent to Norfolk
where 1t has been properly oiled and
slowed away IN Government warehouses
Decks have been protected with liberal
coats of paint and canvas and rigging
have been likewise cared for.
The craft are anchored in units Of
seven each and dot the river for any
miles.
Some shipping experts claim that be
cause of limited tonnage the vessels can
not be operated proftably.
Swaying in the gentle swell of the
river these vessels seem a wrath of the

GOLD SUPPLY
Is INCREASING.

The influx of gold into the United
States continues. The net balance Of i'm

about S320.0OO0OO. the net gain through
importation in the first five months Of
this year. For eight consecutive months
imports Of the metal have exceeded ex-
ports.
Owing to adverse trade balances
with the Orient and South America. the
United States lost gold In 1919 and the
early months Of 1920. with the result
that our stock OF gold was reduced to
50. 646 100000 on May l. 1920 This rep
resented a reduction Of S4T5. 600 900 from
the stock OF the metal held at its pre-

permitted the payment of dividends
amounting to 5.21 per cent o" the reve-
nues and the appropriation Of 2.47 per
cont for sinking funds, reserves, and bet
terments. When the roads we're returned
to private operation, operating expenses
had been increased to such an extent
that they absorbed 80 per cent of oper-
ating revenues, and taxes had increased
so that practically nothing was left for
II terest, dividends or surplus.
During the war, horizontal rate in
creases were made-flat increases which
added the percentage to all of the then
existing rates without regard to the fact
that although some commodities could be
marketed On an economic basis despite
the increases, others could not. During
the war and the period of speculation
which followed, the effects of these hori-
zontal rate increases were not felt so
severely
The situation now, however, with
many commodity prices dropping sharply,
Is dihcult. The problem is to bring
about readjustment by which lower
rates will be provided for commodities
that cannot bear the present levels, and
not to effect horizontal rate reduction
which will take away from the railroads
all that they hope to save through the
forthcoming wage reduction and econ
omies made possible by the abrogation
Of the national agreements.
Furthermore it must not be over
looked that considerable progress has
already been made in rate Establishments

railroads and shippers, have been sub

THE essential thing is to restore the
credit Of the railroads as rapidly as r0e-
sible, and that can be done only by put

which is possible only by permitting the

FARMERS NEED
GOOD CREDIT.
1.-THE relationship of the prosperity Of
agricultural interests to the economic
life of the country as a whole is receiv-
ing Increasing recognition. This is evil
denced by the numerous efforts which
have been directed in recent weeks, in
and out Of Congress, toward the provi-
sion Of additional farm credit. There
is cause for qualification in the fact that
definite progress has teen recorded in
the organization Of machinery of a prt-
vate nature for this purpose, with cor
responding Iessening Of the probability
Of further reliance upon direct govern
mental activity.
Among the bills before congress de-
signed to aid farmers and live stock
producers generally or particular classes
of these are: The bill authorizing the
treasury to furnish 100000 to the
War Finance Corporation for advances
on live stock; a proposed loan by the
treasury of $J0.OO0,000 to the Federal
Farm Loan Board in order to increase tbs
working capital of the Federal Land
Banks. and the proposed formation of
Government corporation, to be supplied
with 500, 100000 from the treasury, for
financing exports of agricultural prod
ucts
1.-THE wisdom Of the proposed direct
participation by the Government in the
provision Of credit. either through an
expansion Of the activities of the war
finance corporation or the creation of an
additional corporation, is doubtful. Such
credit as may be extended on purely
business basis may be had through ex-
listing credit agencies of a private nature
or those which may be formed under
laws now in force. The granting of
credit through Government bodies can
scarcely he more broadly effective than
that by private agencies-save az the ex-
pense of the taxpayers. representing I'M
warranted distribution of favors ana
burdens. The favorable response which
bankers have given TO the suggestion
that they organize the necessary machin-
cry for providing additional credit &C
commOdations TO live stock growers IS
evidence that private sources of credit
may be made adequate to meet the dem
Onstrated needs
