WRONGS AGAINST, NEGROES
 PERPETRATED IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 13.-Coincident with the announcement that peonage indict- ments had been served against a farmer and two of his tenants, one of whom is a negro, in connection with the death of another negro, United States District At torney Hooper Alexander in a statement today said that wrongs were being perpe- trated against negroes in this state that run all the gamut from the meanest of petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder" He indicated that federal off, eers would conduct a statewide investiga- tion of conditions.
 Comparatively little effort is being made by the proper officers to end these conditions" the district attorney in his statement said. ''In large proportion of the cases judicial processes are issued by magistrates that are used in the most shameless manner in the aid of crimes. and the attendant circumstances are such as should call for indictment for. mal- practice. Cases have occurred in which there is the gravest reason to fear that other officers of the law have been active participants in the gravest kind of wrongs. The things of which I speak run all the gamut from the meanest of petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder. If the people of the state permit the con- | tinuance of conditions that now prevail | sooner or later, and in some way, we. will suffer a dreadful retribution".

NEW PLAN PROPOSED TO
 REGULATE IMMIGRATION

Washington. Jan 13.-A new plan for regulating immigration to the United States and dInerentiating desirables from undesirables at the source. was present. ed 10 the senate immigration committee today by Harry A. McBride, chief of the vise section of the state departn ent. He recommended the creation by the gov ernment of 2 commission to have general supervision of immigration and to work Ia cooperation with the existing agen- .es of the state and labor departments.
 The commission would direct immi- grants 10 places in the United States where they were most needed. The problem Of selection would be solved by using the wise system and having American consuls abroad write the pros I.ective immigrants occupation, destina- ton and other qualifications as part Of the passport wise.
 For instance" said NIT. M!Bride, 'the commission would receive al order for 1000 farmers from some section of the country where they were most needed. That order would be cabled to consul in Europe having charge of a good az ricultural section. instructing him to wise TlsSports Tor that number of farmers"
 Mir. Mcbride declared that there was "1 flood" of immigrants in Europe try ing 10 reach the United States but that The Johnson bill would not reduce the number of arrivals in the United States. Hc declared the exceptions the measure allowed. would fill the ships to their ca racity."

HARDING DISCUSSES LONG
 LIST OF PUBLIC QUESTIONS

Marion, O., Jan. 13.-With his con- ferences here nearing a conclusion, President-elect. Harding devoted today to discussion of a long list of incidental public questions. The days confer ences revealed no development in regard to cabinet appointments nor any of the other important problems awaiting so- lution. -s
 Speculation here regarding the cabinet Snow centers about the question of wheth- CT Charles Evans Hughes of New York is willing to accept the post of seer etary of state There Is nc evidence that a formal offer of the appointment has been made, but it is understood that some time ago feelers were put out to learn Mr. Huges' attitude. So far, 1t Is said, the result has been inconclusive.
 Developments in I.gard to virtually all other cabinet places bid fair to remain at standstill for some weeks. Most of the information MT. Harding has collect ed on the subject has been tucked away in a pigeon-hole, where present indica. tions forecast that it will remain at leas until after his houseboat excursion ir Florida.

CONDITIONS IN IRELAND
 sFa DESCRIBED BY O'CALLAGHAN

Washington, Jan. 13.-Lord Mayor O'Callaghan of Cork described today be- fore the commission from the committee of one hundred Investigating Irish condi- tions his efforts to function as chief eX- ecutive of city of 100000 population while lon the run.
 Officials of the city of Cork. the lord mayor said, found it impossible to devote their best efforts to administration of the city when they were in daily fear of ar rest or assassination. The lord mayor said he had not slept in his own home for two years and that in his absence his home had been raided eight times by the crown forces. Visits to the city hall, re- gently destroyed by fire, the lord mayor said, were few and far between and ad- ministration of public affairs was carried on wherever he happened to be living.
 The mayor in appearing before the com mission to present his testimony and thereby accomplish the object of his visit to the United States as a ,stowaway and without passports, wore an American made business suit and gave his recital of conditions in Ireland in voice devoid of l Irish accent but too low to reach the out skirts of a large crowd that packed the l hotel ballroom where the commission | holds it's sessions. He Seemed wholly un- perturbed over the possibility of de- cision from the American government or dering his deportation before completion of his testimony, which will continue to- | morrow.
 The only mention made / ng the days session of the lord mayor :. status in the United States followed a reference by the witness to the coroners jury which found Premier Lord George guilty of murder in connection with the killing of Lord Mayor 1 MacCurtain of Cork
 Our immigration laws, then, would bar Lloyd George from the United States
 remarked M. J. Doyle. counsel for OCal-
 laghan.
 But the state department would let ] him in,' interjected Senator Norris of
 Nebraska, a member of the commission
 The lord mayor presented number of I instances of what he characterized as out
 rages on the people of Ireland and con- ilcluded his day tefore the commission with
 an attack on the American newspapers as 1 British controlled, declaring that "out-
 rages in Ireland" receive little publicity
 in the United States.
 "The killing of young man in Ireland the injury of his sister and other indigni- ties to his family" he said :"received five lines of publicity on the back page of one
 of your newspapers" In addition to his verbal presentation to the coRmission, O'Callaghan caused tc be entered into the coInmission's records thirty affdavits detailing killings, burn.
 1ngs, robberies and tortures which he as Iseretd were committed against the Irisl by British military and police. He dwell largely on the execution of the law ant
 the working of the Sim Fein courts ir lIreland, and in that connection read sev I eral of the afidavits. He explained tha the4 brought affidavits deseFib4ng case. that -hey thought were representative; nat

other lines said all they could hope to obtain was the overflow of travel.
 Harris Livermore, president of the United American line, told the commit tee that construction Of many trans7At- lantic vessels had been contemplated, but that with this hanging oyer, us we can not go ahead until the question is deterrl- ined." Half a dozen witnesses represent ing many corporations, testited that as the law stood today it gave distinct and tremendous advantage to foreign traders because foreigners and a multi tude of Americans refused to travel on dry ships if they could book passage on others where the serving of wines with meals was not crime.
 Mr. Wheeler alone was heard in oppo- sition to the plea of the steamship folk made at a hearing on bill by Represent ative Edmonds of Pennsylvania, ranking republican member Of the merchant ma. rine committee. to exempt passenger ves- sels engaged in foreign trade from pro- visions of the Volstead act. Asserting that many ships were now 'bootlegging, Mir. Wheeler said the amendment would multiply the difficulty-of the dry laws enforcement, and that it would be a bad precedent to rush to the relief of every body whose business was damaged by prohibition.
 The steamship companies are unduly alarmed" MT. Wheeler declared. "The company that adopts a s3und policy look ing to the moral felfare nd protection of the people will win ln in the end. The public wants service-not booze. AnG let me say that the company that renders good service and less liquor finally VII dominate.
 Representative Edmonds. in urging ap proval of his amendment, said he looked a it strictly as business proposition.
 "If we wait, for the world to go dry while other nations are going ahead witt their shipping he added. i've won have any flag. We are dealing with { condition, not theory, ana right now i means that construction. re ..,i1ing up int he millions, must stop, because the Amer ican companies cannot compete squarel! with the rest of the world.
