signed to Avoid Future Controver-
sizes

Washington, Jan. l9--Jurisdiction
Of the state department in cases of
aliens arriving in this country without
a passport is recognized by the Depart
ment of labor in a formal statement
sent today by Secretary Wilson to the
chief Of the immigration bureau.
1t was announced, however, that the
decision OF Secretary Wilson that DON
aid J. O'Callaghan lord mayor of
Cork, should be allowed to re-ship on q
foreign vessel by reason of the ruling
that he occupied the status of a sea
man." has not been rescinded.
The labor secretary's letter to the
cision that O'Callaghan be permitted to
re-ship foreign should be ''consummat-
ed at the earliest pos sibie moment"

nounced that the labor secretary had
written to O'Caliaghan's counsel direct
ing that the lord mayor be surrendered
promptly" to the immigration in
spector at Norfolk.

in the custody CT his counsel, Judge

now in New York. but whether he will
appeal to the courts has not yet been
announced.
The announcement Of Secretary Will
son as to the jurisdiction of the state
department in all cases similar to thos,
OF the lord mayor is understood to be
in the nature of an agreement betEeen
the two departments through which it
is hoped to avoid in the future contro-
versi.,s similar to the one which arose
in O'CallaghaHs case owing to the
failure Of Secretary Wilson to honor
the ORDER of Acting Secretary Davis
that @ Callaghan be deported imme-
diately.
New York, Jan. 19.--Harry Boland,

counsel in this country and in no way
by BoIand's office.

tel here and called on Boland today.
He intends in no way to attempt to
circuinven, American governmental de-
sires while he is enjoying liberty on
parole, leland said.
