RED TAPE FORCES
WIFE TO TRAVEL
BACK TO EUROPE
Child of Chicago Couple Re-

immigration Limit.
BY AlExANDER HERMAN

NEW YORK. August $40 COW
er the hundred yards from the de-
te11ion room here to the New York
ferry, a young Belgian woman and
her Syear-old son have been forced
to take an extra 6000mi1e trip 20
Europe and back.
All because they arrived three
and a half hoprssahead of schedule.
And the migration authorities
could find no way OF cutting the
red tape which barred them.
So another chapter of sor-
row was added to the tragedy of a
young family which had been rent
apart in the aftermath of the war
With his business wiped out by
war RENT Carton left Belgium

His wife came with him But
they had TO leave their boy behind
with relatives.
They worked hard and prosper

family bank account. they decided
to get their boy.
Goes for Son
Mrs. Carton went for him. Be
ing resident of this country. she
knew she could be readmitted here
without trouble But she didn't
know about the restrictions gov
erning the admittance- of her son.
She started to return in June
The Belgian immigration quota
for the fiscal year ending June 80
; had been filled.
Mrs. Carton was advised to post
pone her return until the next sail,
ing. This ship was not due in New
York until July l.
But the boat was fast and the
weather good so the mother and
boy reached port several hours be-
fore they expected The authorities
decided that the youngster could
not he admitted for the quota had
been filled
But couldn't they forget that he
arrived three and one-half hours
! too soon and consider him
as July arrival? The mother ar

Case Goes to Washington
They took it up with the immi-
grafton inspectors. The case was
carried to board of review In
Washington. "A month went by.
The boy had to go back He could
return on the same boat and apply
for admission under the new quota
but he had-to go back.
It's hard to be so near-and yet
so far" sighed Mrs. Carton when
she heard the final decision. 81 can

Swarthmore in 1891. His people owned
a farm in the Pennsylvania Dutch way
and the governor likes to call himself
a farmer. He is the owner of the
Chester Times" and the Morning
Republican" of Chester.
His political career has had Harris
burg as its center. He went there in
1895 as a state senator, and was a
part and parcel of the machine that
dominates the state and plays such a
wide part in the national situation.
Five times he was reelected to the
upper house of the legislature.
In the meantime he branched out in
big businss. He organized the Sea
board Steel Casting company, which
eventually went into the American Lo-
connective company. He was the or
ganizer and president of the General
Refractories company, controlling 10
big plants. Banks, mining, traction
and other lines of industry claimed
his attention. In all of his ventures
he was successful, and the new boss
of the big state brings large amount
of personal ability to his job.

An American as Pope

Dispatches from Rome telling of the exist
ence of strong current favoring the election of
an American cardinal as pope are of surprising
interest to all Americans irrespective of their
religious affiliation. His election as supreme
pontiff would be a great compliment to the
Catholics of this country and to the nation a
whole.
Ground for the possibility of such action, cor
respondents say, lies in the pressure which has
been brought to bear upon cardinals to support
certain men who might be favorable to certain
European countries.
The effort of the nations to win victory for
their own candidates has become so strong that
one cardinal is quoted as saying:
"The only salvation is the choice of an
American cardinal, born and bred on the Wash
ington doctrine of non-interference"
Another cardinal is quoted in this morning
dispatches as follows:
'0The election of an American cardinal seems
to be the only happy solution. An American

After Dinner Stories

John Charley Chepson was a new
member of the American Press Hum
orists' association, and at the con-
vention in Philadelphia his loud laugh
was heard above everything when
some speaker pulled a gag that Chep-
son liked. After two days of public
luncheons and dinners at which this
boisterous laugh had attracted almost
as much attention as the comic
speeches themselves, the veterans de-
Cided to spring a practical joke On the
unsophisticated Chepson. They passed
the word that Chepson was to be call
ed on suddenly for a speech, and ct
his first attempt to be funny the plot
tiers were to laugh in q concerted roar
that would break up the meeting.
Chepson arose and said For two
days ! have been industriousIy laugh

lie sat down. The plotters were dumb
founded. In fact, Chepsons loud
laughter had been sincere. But he
was witty enough to forsee that they
were loaded for him and that he must
spike their guns.

pope would represent to the world the same ad-
mrable and serene justice which characterizes
American history"
In pointing to America as the only dlslnter-
ested country in the elevation OF new pope, the
cardinal quoted above is authority for ascribing"
the following motives to European countries for
their interest:
Great Britain wants pope to placate Ireland.
France wants one who will uphold her in her
stand against Germany.
Italy wants pope to wipe out the old feud
between the Vatican and the government.
Germany seeks church head to help her es-
cape PREPARATIONS payments.
Austria wants pope to help her regain her
old prestige.
The correspondents of the various news or
CARNATIONS and the Rome papers themselves that
are discussing this phase of the Forthcoming
conclave may have magnified an issue or they
NAV be badly misinformed. After the first eX-
pressions of sentiment, the participants OF the
conclave probably will forget all political consid-
erations and select candidate who is adequately
trained and fitted for the high spiritual post he
is to occupy irrespective of his political leaning.
In any event, however, the selection of an
American cardinal as pope, because he IS pos
sessed of eminent qualifications for the spiritual
leadership of the hierarchy and secondarily is not
interested in the European political situation,
would be warmly received in this country. 1t
would be the first time that an American card
nal had received this honor.

BERLIN, Jan. 25-The search of
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university
for "moonshine" gold came to an abb
rupt end today, when he was informed
by an unidentified scientist that the
German who had claimed the dis
covery of a synthetic gold process was
a fraud and had prison record.
DR.. Fisher will leave tomorrow for
home. He came tor Berlin primarily
to study the German currency prob
lem. His investigation into synthetic
gold was incidental.
IN a typewriter statement to the
newspaper correspondents he said to-
day that the purported inventor Of
fered to demonstrate his process for
making synthetic gold, but that for
some unexplained reason Prof. Fisher
did not accept it.
Submits Samples of Gold.
The alleged inventor submitted
samples of gold to President Haven
stein of the Reichsbank, which he al
| legged he had made. This gold was
| found to be SO per cent pure, but Herr
Havenstein was without proof that the
gold had been made artificially. This
occurred in 1917, but why President
Havenstein did not investigate fur.
Their Prof. Fisher does not explain in
his statement. After recounting his
! investigations, Prof. Fisher says:
But distinguished German scien
fist has just told me that the man (the
supposed inventor of synthetic gold)
is a fraud and has a prison record
! My friend, who gave me the original
information, said he had known the
man for years and assured me that
the one thing he was sure of was that
the man was not a fraud. however
| mistaken he might be about his sup
posed invention. I am now disposed
/ to believe that he was misled"
! Scientists Interested
Prof. Fisher said the German gov
eminent had not taken much stock
in the mans synthetic gold story, and
