Grand Island, Neb., Aug. O.
Especial Telegram )-William Soth-
man, building contractor and mem-
bsr of the frm of Goehring- Sotfmarl
company, was instantly killed late
this afternoon, when his run
about collided with City Attorney
Harold Princes sedan car at the
corner of Cleburn and First streets.
Mr.. Prince was not injured, nor
was his car seriously damaged.
Mr.. Sothman's car was badly
wrecked and the impact was such as
to throw the occupant across the
parking to the cement sidewalk. The
fall fractured the skull.
Mr.. Sothman was approaching the
intersection from the south. Mr..
Prince was driving toward his home
from the east. Witnesses say that
both cars were going at fairly
good speed, that they collided at
about the center of the intersection,
and that both were hurled or
swerved to the north side of the
street, although the heavier sedan
was not as severely damaged as was
the lighter car.
Mr.. Sothman had been a resident
of the city practically all his life.
He leaves a wife and two children,
his mother and brother and sew
eral sisters. His youngest child is
only a week old.

Germans Gaining

Under Seamen Act
Hundreds of Aliens Ship at
One Cent a Month
Desert Ships at Amer

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. 6.--With Ger
mans shipping as seamen at cent
month on American bound vessels
and deserting at every point, exist
ing laws to the contrary notwith-
standing, the statement of Secretary
of Labor Davis in regard to this
and other violations of the immi-
grafton law under cover of the sea-
mans act brings to the front once
more a condition against which inn
migration officials have heretofore
protested in vain.
The number of deserving seamen
in 1920, according to the report of
the commissioner general of immi-
grafton, was l3,543 as against 1888
in 1919, in spite of the fact that
22,738 vessels were boarded by i'm
migration officials, 288,710 identif-
cation cards issued and ATS seamen
afflicted with loathsome or con-
tagious diseases removed to- hospi-
tails for treatment, or permitted to
depart foreign on the vessels on
which they came.
Formerly a deserting seaman was
subject to arrest and return to his
ship on application of the shipmaster
to the port authorities. Abrogation
CT this provision in the treaties be-
tween the United Staes and foreign
countries, following the passage of
the La Toilette seamans act, was
promptly taken advantage of.
That registration alone is ineffec-
tive, either in the case of alien sea-
men or other aliens, is demonstrated
by the fact that in spite of registra-
ton accompanied by photographs,
the number of seamen who entered
the country in violation of law of
la tsyear exceeded by 10,l55 the
number who remained in the coun-
try unlawfully after deserving in 1919.
