DENIES STORY
OFBETSY ROSS
Army Officer Says Tradition Of
Flag Is Without Histor-
ical Basis.

b. raifed Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 9.--Do you doubt
the story in our school history books
which taught us that Betsy Ross designed
the American Flag in l776? Louis Bare
croft Runk, an attorney and major of or.
dinance in the reserve corps, declares
that the story is a fake. Runk. in e
book he has just published. entitled Tho
Birth of Our Flag and Flag Etiquette, =
says Betsy Ross story 'rests solely OF
her own testimony" which is absolutely
uncorroboraied, and the best historians
today consider il without historical basis
1T is earnestly claimed by the 'descen-
dants Of Betsy Ross that on or about june
|, l776, she was waited upon at her
house, 239 Arch street, Philadelphia, BY
General Washington and an alleged com
mittee Of fhe Continental Congress; that
they asked her 10. make a flag and thai
she promised TO Try; that they showed
her drawing whose proportions she cri
ticised and that General Washington him
self altered the drawing according tc
her suggestion" says the book.
Betsy was a lady Of lively imagina
tions and short memory, as is shown by
her ability to wed three times in ten
years"
The book declares that Washington
visited Philadelphia in l776 for only two
weeks and neither he nor the alleged Con
gressienal committee nor its records eve;
mentioned such a visit to Betsy Ross.
Runk, in his book, sites several other in
cidents in history which he says substan.
tiale his claim.

sTRANGERs AT QUE GATES.

In an effort to satisfy the demands
of union labor congress passed an i'm
migration law which resulted in
bringing about a disgraceful situation
at Christmas time. Hundreds of i'm
migrants were held on Ellis island
because the quota allowed by the law
already had been admitted. If for
efgn immigration be inimical to the
country's welfare, why did congress
temporize with it? Why did it not
prohibit it entirely?
Now it is proposed to remedy the
situation by passing a special law ad-
hitting those held on the island over
Christmas.
The New York Herald, reporting on
the situation, declared it would be the
"gloomiest Christmas ever known for
those. who sought refuge here" And
the punishment to which these immi-
grants are subjected extends beyond
the holidays, for it is stated that
families who sold theirtdittle cottages
or novels and spent practically all
their money in getting to seaports and
paying steamship fares, on their ar
rival here had the prospect of more
prosperous existence in America
changed to a vision of a return in
winter time to their own impoverished
countries without even the homes they
sold, and the work they had to en-
able them to exist"
1t appears that these poor creatures
have been the victims of insensate
greed, and the recommendation OF this
secretary of labor that a certain large
foreign shipping line be fined the
limit for it's share in bringing such a
situation about is a fair indication OF
where the immediate responsibility
may be located. 1t appears that the
vast majority of these immigrants
knew notAing of the Dillingham; i'm
migration law restricting newcomers
to per cent of their racial stocks al
ready in this country.
The fault apparently lies with the
foreign shipping concerns, which, re-
gardless of the law, have crowded
their vessels with passengers wishing
to escape the unhappiness of the cid
world and to begin life anew in Amer
lea. They have been herded into
these ships like cattle without the
slightest regard for their origin and
with no intimation as to whether or
not they would be held up at the is
land because their racial quota had
been exhausted. The idea seems to
have been. Get the money and take
a chance"
