Secretary Davis returned to the Labor
Department to-day after q conference
with Fred A. Wallis. Commissioner of
immigration at Ellis Island He said
the situation so far as Italian immi-
grants were concerned was serious.
Many hundreds in excess OF the June
quota, he said, have arrived at New
York and under the law they cannot
como into this country. They are watt
ing their turn, but only In special cases
will they be admitted. the law provid-
Ing for the free entry OF educators,
farmers and special trade representa-
tives only.
Suggestion was made to Secretary
Davis at conferences IN New York that
he ask special legislation to pass Ital-
ians now awaiting on steamships or at
Ellis Island, and have the total checked
against the number permitted entry for
the year, but he holds the view that
such action would merely reopen the en-
tire immigration question and perhaps
bring another similar situation.
The new immigration law became op-
erative June 8. Under II only 8 per
cent. of the total number of italians
here in 1910 are permitted to land in
the ensuing year.
The total has been prorated on q
monthly basis On an annual basis OF
42.o21, this makes the June quota only
1924, and it is said that those already
here. admitted OH Ellis Island or on
ships ready to land is far in excess OF
this number.

country / wish I could in some way
tighten the burden of sorrow which ]
know TO have suddenly fallen upon you.
If the knowledge of the high regard in
which he was held will In any way miti-
gate your grief, I can assure you that
he was highly esteemed and much be-
| loved"
LOUISVILLE, June 7.-Mr. Hert left
Louisville Sunday night. apparently in

ncsted mails at hourly intervals its
collection and delivery was greatly
facilitated.
That fact is not realized by ordinary

Mr.. Lister expressed the opinion that
IL would neither be necessary to increase
the force of carriers nor the hours of
collections and distribution should Mr..
Hays plan become effective. The same
machinery which is functioning now
would function under the new order,
but its labors would be more equitably
