FIGURES CONFUSING
SAYS CUNARD line
Letter Terms Accusation Of
0verstepping immigration
Quota UnjustifiabIe.

Accusations against the Cunard
Line recently made in a communica-
ton sent by Secretary Of Labor Da-
Wis to the Secretary of State and At
torney General were absolutely un-
justified" according to letter pre-
sented TO Representative Albert
Johnson. chairman of the House inn
migration committee, by Thomas J.
Stead. local representative of the Gu
nard Steamship Company. Ltd.
Calling attention to a statement ia
the letter TO the Attorney General
that a cunard Line steamer brought
more than 800 Hungarians in one
load. 'in the face of the fact that on
December i the Hungarian quota was
quite exhausted" Mr.. Stead declares:
You Will note that Secretary Da-
Wis bases his accusation against the
Cunard Line because Of an alleged
excess carrying of Hungarians on the
Aquitania. which sailed from Cher
bourg December 3. 1921. The figures
issued by the bureau show that $40
Hungarians were still admissible on
December ). $50 on December 81 and
IS on December 81, in spite Of the
fact that blanket order was issued
admitting excess quota cases Decem-
Der "a.
Believed Passengers Eligible.
From the above figures only one
conclusion can be drawn. and that is
that every Hungarian who arrived on
the Aquitania and was denied admis-
sion as being in excess of quota was
eligible for admission at the time of
the arrival of this steamer"
Declaring that a matter Of fact
there has been much confusion caused
abroad by the issuance by the bureau

the figures of actual admission Mr..
Stead in his letter. states:
Il have submitted this statement to

of immigration, and on the ground of

above is substantially correct ] feel
that a gross injustice has been done
the Cunard Line by the publication of
the letters of the Secretary of Labor.

VITAL,
SAYS Mr.. COOLIDGE
Vice President Pays Tribute
to Alexander Hamilton at
Club Address.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. January 12.-AleXander
Hamilton bequeathed to his country a
great heritage when he said: The
aggregate prosperity of manufac-
lures and the aggregate prosperity
of agriculture are intimately con
nected," Vice President Coolidge told
the Hamilton Club of this city in an
address here. in celebration of the
anniversary Of the birth of the great
statesman.
THE products of agriculture are
consumed by the Industrial popula-
ton" Mr.. Coolidge said They are
the customers of the farmer. If they
be prosperous his markets will grow.
ON the other hand. the great outlet
for manufactured products is on the
farm. a prosperous state of agricul-
ture is the foundation of ali national
prosperity. The manufacturer must
look to the farmer. not only for his
supply of food. but for the sale of
his commodities"
The Vice President paid high trib-
ute to Hamilton as statesman, SOL
dier and patriot.
Speaking of President Harding, the
Vice Pre- sident said:
The ancient power of leadership
has not left the republic. The wis-
dom and craftsmanship which con
tributed to its beginnings and sup
ported its continuation az" with Us

 "At this stage of the proceedings thought I saw a chance to retire the side by catching Cobb mapping stood up in the dugout and yelled:
 Do it again.
 'Leary drew back his arm and tossed the ball even higher than be- fore, and away Cobb went, this time for second base, with no intermed- fate stops. Weilman reached high in the air, grabbed the ball and threw it in the dirt at Lavan's feet. It went into short centre, and Cobb rush for third.
 "The centrefielder had backed up the play, and Cobb figured to be out mile. The ball beat him by yards, but Austin fumbled momentarily, and right then and there Cobb showed that he either has brains in his feet or he isn't human.
 "The ball was lying out there be- tween Austin and the runner for only fraction of a second, but in that instant Cobb did more thinking than the average ball player does in a season. Instead of sliding for the base he slid for the ball, feet first, gave it kick that sent it into the dugout and then went on to the plate with the winning run.
 "It was a clear case of interfer- ence, but the umpires couldn't see it that way. And, besides, the game was over. You never can win an arg ument after the umpires call it a day.

RICKEY HANDS FAVOR PALM
 TO TY COBB

NEW YORK, Sept. z. When speaking of great ball playing, as he | frequently does, Branch Hickey, man. ager of the St. Louis Cardinals, starts and finishes with one man only. That man is not Rogers Horns bv. although the good MT. Hickey might be pardoned for being a bit partial toward the Texan in view of the fact that Hornsby is a member of his ball club.
 Neither is he George Sisler, whom Rickey really developed while coach ing the University of Michigan ball team. If bounded and harried about the matter MT. Hickey may be per- suaded to admit that he did a good iob with George and that certainly Hornsby is something of an asset to the Cardinals.
 COBB THE GREATEST
 But when it comes down to the greatest of them all, Hickey knows only one ball player, and his name is Cobb.
 One of Branch Rickey's favorite stories, if that noted racounture can be said to favor any particular an- ecdote. deals with the game Cobb won from the Browns by base on balls. At that stage of his check cred career Hickey happened to be manager of the Browns. Hence the occasion remains fixed in his mind much in the same manner that cornerstone remains fixed in a building It has been his singular contention ever since that Cobb has brains in his feet.
 'The score was tied, with two out in the ninth," says Hickey, in his best platform manner, when Cobb came up and worked Carl Weilman for q pass. He immediately took
