Shores UncIeanSed.

Washington, Jan. 5. -
Testimony by Commissioner
Wallis of the Ellis immigra-
ton station, that Europe
was literally moving to the
United States" and that a
flood" of aliens was immi-
nent, still left members of
the senate immigration COM
mittee doubtful as to action
on the Johnson bill prohib-
iting immigration for one
year. Several members ex-
pressed doubt as to whether
any measures to stop or re-
strict immigration would be
enacted at this session.
Committee Impressed.
The committe obviously was i'm
pressed with Commissioner Wallis
statement as to the need for in
spection of aliens before leaving
Europe and for more rigid exami-
nations after their arrival here. He
recommends that facilities be es-
tablished overseas for such inspec-
tions and declared 80 per cent of
the immigrants now arriving would
ge denied admission if they were
examined at ports of embarkation
by American officials. A system of
examination in Europe and upon
arrival, Mr.. Wallis said, would pre-
vent an imminent flood of those
diseased in body and mind.
Fortunately" he added, steam
ships can bring only 100000 a
year. 1t is in the limited transpor-
tation facilities and increased ex-
aminations that we will get the
best protection"
He declared that reports of the
public health service indicated
eastern Europe today sis in the
grip of four epidemics-typhus
typhoid, dysentery and tubercu-
losis-' The war has undermined
the health of those countries and
their emigrants are Dangerous to
the public health of the United
States" he added. Mr.. Waller re-
minded the committee "that not a
mothers son who went to war in
Europe was allowed to return until
he had taken bath in strongest
disinfectants and his clothes had
been cleansed"
"Yet these people come here un-
cleansed and diseased" he added.
One of the greatest troubles we
have at Ellis island ~ getting rid
of their yermin."

He was covered with vermin and
dirt, but boasted proudly of having

was not inclined to place much
credence in the youths bloodthirs-

Loudmila Manetzkaya, an IL
year-old girl, first caught the ad

Admiral McCully, who is So, has
been on duty in Russia and nearby

Examination of the report pre-
pared by stephen S. Roehl, former
county assessor, showing that the
taxes allotted to the city have in
creased from $72,612 in 1916 to
$169,349 for 1920. prompted the
explanation by the commissioners.
while on the face of the figures
it appears that there has been a
great increase in the cost of oper-
ating the city government. this IL
not true" said Walter M. Connell,
chairman of the commission. THE
city's levy is 1857 mills or less than
a fourth of the total levy of 42.723
mills for all purposes"
And of this levy about half. or
522 mills, is being used to create
sinking funds and pay the interest
on bond issues made before the
present city commission went into
office.
These bonds were issued. some
of them, in 1899. some were as re-
cent as 1909. and the latest issue
was the water bonds which were
issued in 1917. According to Mr.
Connell the city is using this year
only $76,S40 for actual operating
expenses. The remainder. more
than half, is being used to pay the

The admiral said he had called
a family council" to meet at An
derson and added:
II hope that my niece will take
over the big job Of supplying the
necessary feminine influence in
their lives.
1T is my intention to give them

Because this show is to be Judged

attended, he said, to all legal mat

No difficulty was encountered, he
said, because of the terrible condi-

children were living.

SAYS DE VALERA WAS
IN ENGLAND 2 NIGHTS

London, Jan. 5.--Eamonn de
Valera stayed at least two nigths
and three days in Manchester last
week on his way to Ireland, the
Manchester correspondent of the
Times says. He arrived in an or
dinary train, undisguished, and
walked through the streets to keep
an appointment with leaders of the
Manchester Sim Feiners.
The Irishman who vouchsafed
this information added:

state has considerable tiffle remain
ing to perfect its appeal in case it
decides to make one. Until the
time for filing the appeal has
lapsed. Judge Neblett would issue
no order. and in case 1t is filed, the
matter will be tied UP until a deci-
sion is promulgated by the supreme
court.
While the tax has been fought in
the courts, the gasoline companies
have gone to extra expense to pro-
tect their patrons. They have CONF
plete records showing the amount
of gasoline supplied to distributors
and proprietors of gasoline sales
stations. AT the filling stations
records have not been kept in avail
able form in all instances. but with
every purchase the customer has
been given receipt for the pur-
chase showing the number of gal
Ions sold. Some of the stations
have special forms for the refund
while others have been stamping
the sales slips to show that a re-
fund will be made il the tax law Is
held invalid.
The Continental Oil company,
the Texas company. the Magnolia
Petroleum company and others
have declared that their records to
the stations are complete and that
the money will be available when
ever a court order provides for its
return. If customers at filling sta
tions have preserved their sales
slips, refund tickets or garage bills,
no difficulty will be experienced in
securing the refund Of the 2 cents
charged from the tax.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
TO REDUCE BUILDING
COSTS IS LAUNCHED

Chicago, jan. 5.-A national
campaign to reduce building costs
was launched by lumber manufac-
turers at meeting today.
Lumber has come down in price
an average OF 80 per cent" said
r. B. Goodman of Marinette, Wis,

has absorbed its war inflations and
we feel it is up to other building
commodities to follow Lumber
represents only about 80 per cent
of the cost of the average building
and not more than S5 per cent of
the cost Of a wooden building"
Plans were made for calling rep
resentatives of the brick, cement,
tile, roofing and plumbing indus
tries into conference. An advertis-
ing campaign also was advocated.
