New York, February l5.-A third death
from typhus, reported to city health de-

on boats directly from Europe or by
steamships or trains from other Amer

officer of the port of New YORK, has ex-
tended his plans for delousing and cleans
ing all arriving immigrants. At the same
time Commissioner of immigration Wallis
went to Washington for conference
with labor department officials.
At the port Quarantine station prepare.
lions were made to turn 1t over to fed
eral control by the state officials III
charge. The change, 1t was said, would
make available larger staff of physi-
clans and inspectors. In this connection
state health officials denied reports that
a 12-day detention period on incoming
ships had been ordered. 4
pr Copeland today notified railroad of
ficlals at Boston and other ports to in
form him when immigrants who disem-
b5rk at those points prepare 70 start tor

UP TO POST AUTHORITIES
Ellis Island, maintained under jurisdic-
ton Of the United States immigration
service, is not responsible for the defer
mination and quarantine of ships carry
ing contagious diseases, or the cleansing
OF vermin-infested passengers and bag
gage. Superintendent p A. Baker OF Eilis
Island explained today. These duties, he
added. were those OF the port health Of
ficers which in all ports Of the United
States except New York are under the
United States public health service

not responsible for.
immigration officers. Mr.. Baker SAID,
are not permitted to visit incoming ships
or to have contact with passengers I'M
til they are cleared by the health Of
ficers First and second-class passen-
gers are examined on board ships, and
steerage passengers, due to their great
numbers are sent TO Ellis Island. where
they are maintained at the ships expense
until released
The examination at Ellis Island is both
mental and physical as to the arrivai
qualification to land under the existing
laws The physical examination is MADE
by public health surgeons attached to the
Immigration service and concerns mainly
mental and physical conditions which
might result in the arrival becoming

Precautions are also taken to prevent

HARRY NEW MAY
TAKE HAYS JOB
AS c. 0. P. Chief
Finances Continue to Bother
Republican Party and Hefty
Assessments Are In Pros
peCt - Situation Bad

St. Augustine, Fla, February 15.-(Spe-
ciaI)-Senator Harry New of Indiana is
slated to become the next chairman of
the republican national committee.
The present chairman, VIII H. Hays, on
March next will become Postmaster
General Of the United States in the
Harding cabinet, and win resign his as
sociation with the national committee
Senator New is understood to be Mr.
Hardfngs choice for the chairmanship,
and of course the President-elect has the
power to dictate the selection. The chair
man of the republican committee does
not have to be a member of the COM
mittee before he is chosen.
The democratic ofnmittee has diff
ferent rule under which no man can be
named as chairman unless he is regu-
larly selected member In the last cam
paign the republicans went so far as TO
permit Harry NJ, Daugherty of Ohio to-pe
member of the executive committee OF
the national committee despite the Fact
that Mr. Daugherty was not the repre-
sentative of Ohio on the national CONS
mittee proper.
HAYS SUMMONED
Chairman Hays was summoned to st.
Augustine this week by Mr.. Harding TO
discuss matters as. the President-elect
der There is not the slightest doubt
that Senator Harding still is worried over
the big deficit in the national committee
campaign funds, and he is desirous Oh
knowing what steps have been taken and
what progress have been made toward
wiping out the Indebtedness
The general impression here is that
Chairman Hays has not been making
very great amount of progress. In his Ell
fort to assess states at the rate or ~
cents for each republican vote cast, Mr..
Hays is running counter to the best judy
ment of some of the older members OIL
the committee, and some of them are
practical men connected with the repuo-
lican politics. These older hands at the
wheel have had the experience which
teaches them that it costs anywhere
from SO to 100 cents on the dollar 70 coli
lect administer and account for funds
raised in small amounts.
MAY RAISE ANTE
Mr. Hays, according to the best in
formation obtainable here, is proceeding
independently of the national treasurer,
Fred w, Upham of Chicago, in arrang-
ing the campaign for wiping out the
deficit This may be because of the TACT
that Mr. Hays feels that the deficit was
largely due to him, and he personally
would like to see it obliterated before ne
gives UP the craftsmanship. The time IS
SO snort, however, between INV o.i'
March a. it would seem impossible for
Mr.. Hays to succeed
Ii the deficit is not made up by March
i Mr.. Upham unauestionably will be
called upon to 60 out and raise the money
as he sees fit. which means simply ne
would raise the limit of contributions
from $1,000 to something like $500 or So
00o. Mr.. Tpham knows there are plenty
81 men in the republican party willing
to give large sums who are not looking

Forty-Seven Witness Examined
Yesterday and 125 Are Wit
nesSeS-PartiaI Report to
Be Returned Thursday

Jasper, February 15.-(Special. MEM
bers Of the special Walker county grand
jury, empaneled to investigate the muir
der of William Baird, young miner.
taken from the county jail here January
IL and shot to DEATH reconvened this
morning. Judge Horace C. Wilkinson,
special attorney general, is conducting
the inquiry.
1t is understood that report will be
returned Thursday afternoon. when the
present batch of witnesses will have been
examined and an adjournment taken,
pending further call, 1t is merest spec
ulation, but, it is understood, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the present SEES
sion will result in any indictments 1t
is not improbable that the evidence adj
duced at this three-day session may be
held and combined with evidence which
may be adduced at Some future inquiry.
This speculation, it is stated is based
wholly upon the fact that the grand jury
will not be finally discharged following
its report Thursday afternoon.
MANY WITNESSES
Forty -seyen witnesses were examined
by Judge Wilkinson today. The witnesses
included merchants and farmers in
Townley and the territory between that
city and Jasper Approximately los more
will be examined Wednesday and Thurs
day morning. 1t is probable that hum
dred will be called before the grand ju-
rors tomorrow
''Of the total number subpoenaed. said
Judge Wilkinson. there probably are not
more than half dozen union miners
am not at liberty, of course, to discuss
the nature of the testimony but | can
state that the number of union men is
exceedingly small--the witnesses are
largely merchants of Townley and farm
ers between Jasper and that city. | also
can state that Red Jenkins, who
claims to have been threatened and who
left for trip into Oklahoma, Kansas
and Missouri, has not been summoned
and will not be witness before the
grand jury"
ADJOURN THURSDAY
Many in Jasper and its vicinity are in
clned to think that the present inquiry
is in the nature of a cleanup. Evidence,
it is thought, was obtained by Judge
Wilkinson during his recent visit 10
Townley which, In his opinion, the grand
jurors OF Walker county should have,
and the present session is for that pur-
pose. This idea gained credence from
the report that the jury probably will
make only partial report Thursday aft
ernoon and adjourn, subject to call.
Jasper, grown used to excitement, ~
attending strictly to normal business.
The corridors of the courthouse and the
lawn were filled with men throughout
the day, but they were witnesses await
ing call. The townsfolk are not expec'.-
ant of any unusual development at the
present session Of the grand jury, but
are more expectant as 70 the outcome of
the trial of Sergt. Glenn r. stephens,
which begins in Hamilton next Monday.
Stephens is one of nine guardsmen IN
dIcted at former session of the grand
jury and charged with iynching young
Baird.
