based the charge against the Calabria

in too many Greeks.
Ellis Island officials were unable to

hitting the difficulty Of fixing upon

follows: Greek, 657; Armenia, 31S;
Palestine, II; Smyrna, S8; Syria, 1871;
other Turkey, AZ; other Asia, 49,; Bull
gara, CO.; Rumania, ,483.

White Star liner Cedric, from Liver
pool, bringing S62 passengers; the
Ryndam, from Rotterdam, with 6i first,
1871 second and 225 steerage passen-
gers; the iceland, from Antwerp, with
116 first, 293 second and /, o28 steerage,
and the Latvia, from Danzg, with six
first, 40 second and $40 steerage pas
sengers. The Megah Hellas carried
1870 first cabin, 1863 second and 470
third class OF these 5S3 were Greeks.
On the Calabria there were 462 passen-
gers. 12t of the number Greeks. The
Cedric was not counted among the inn
migrant ships affected on this trip by
the ruling.
The transport Cantigny brought from
France the bodies Of 1903 American

The two vessels were among six

SLAYER OF
IOWA GIRL
WILL HANG
Judge Sets Date of Earl
Throst's Execution for
March 9, 1923.

Waukon, Iowa, Dec. 27.-Earl
Throst, who was sentenced yester-
day to hang in March 8, 1928, for
the murder of Miss Inga Magnusen,
Allamakee county school teacher,
will be taken to the penitentiary
at Fort Madison tomorrow. He will
be executed there.
Judge H. E. Taylor's decision to
impose the death penalty caused
some surprise, as it was believed
that Throst's action in pleading
guilty to first degree murder, thus
waving jury trial, would result in
a sentence of life Imprisonment.
Insanity May Save.
The murderer's alleged mental
weakness has been stressed by his
counsel and his seeming indiffer-
ence throughout the hearings was
pointed to by his attorneys as bear
ing out their contention that he is
mentally unbalanced.
Judge Taylor in pronouncing
sentence, said that he had purpose
ly set the date of execution far
ahead to give prison officials an
opportunity to observe Throst's ac-
tions, and if in the opinion of the
experts on mental diseases, he was
not normal, he would not be put to
death.

through the apparent Indifference
of their parents, seek the dance
halls, cabarets and movies, not the

forgotten games of yesterday be
resurrected from the dusty corner
of memory-"blindma buff, :"

fudge on the kitchen stove.
The Rev Phillip Yarrow, head of

with Mr. Burgess.
