While the official figures show a large
immigration from countries like Italy,

Failed to Extend Period.

The immigration committee announced
at the time of passage OF the new bill it
would extend the period of residence In
the countries named from one year to
two years or five years. Evidently that
was overlooked. as the bill ma passed
the House without that change
During the last year immigrants from
countries whose quotas have been filled
have been flocking to Cuba. Jamaica,
the Bahamas, Central America and
Mexico. with the intention OF either
waiting a year or Of taking their
chances of getting in when immigration
authorities were not looking.
European steamship companies have
winked at this effort to dodge the pro-
visions OF the immigration law and have
been carrying passengers by the thou
sands TO these points. 1t Is estimated
that 10000 persons are now either In
Mexico or in the islands adjacent to the
southern coast waiting their chance to
slip in. From Cuba a thriving business
Is done in the smuggling of immigrants.
while the elimination cf the passport
Mexico makes 1t practically impossible
to guard that border.
Regardless of whatever exertions may
be made to stop Illicit immigration at
border points, II is recognized that the
privilege to come into the United States
after a year of residences in the coun-
tries specified as exceptions TO the gem
eral prohibition nullifies the regulatory
features of the law. TIL ese immigrants

SpeciGl Dispatch TO TuF Nrw YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
WASHINGTON. -. C.. Feb. 2f.
Examination of the immigration bill
passed by the House yesterday has
disclosed the fact 1t leaves the door
wide open for the "bootlegging'P of
immigrants into this country.
Omission of remedial legislation in
the new bill is so patent that Senate
leaders already are comforting with
authorities of the immigration bureau
in an effort to close the door TO immi-
grants who are flooding the country
by way Of Mexico. Cuba, Canada and
from islands in the caribbean. Regis
tration of immigrants will be one of
the amendments offered in the Senate
The feature by which immigrants may
avoid the restrictive feature of the pres
ent immigration law Is in the form OF an
exception to the provision which limits
immigration to "3 per cent. of the num-
Der of foreign born residents of such
nationality resident in the United States
as determined by the Unied states cen
sus OF 1910"
The exception In question says the
prohibition shall not apply to "aliens
who have resided continuously for at
least one year immediately preceding the
time OF their admission TO the United
States in the Dor7inion OF canada. New
States in the Dominion of Canada. New
foundland, the Republic OF Cuba, the
Republic OF Mexico. countries Of Central
America or adjacent islands
1t was recognized at the tire of the
passage of the original bill year ago
that this provision made 1t possible for
immigrants to colonize in these adjacent
areas for a year, after which hey could
enter the United States without let or
hindrance.

HARTMAN NATIONAL BANK
Fifth Avenue and 44th Street
NEW YORK
A Real Leader

Lest there may perchance be those who little
interested in their couEtrys welfare to have reg
lected to follow the stand of the Administration
against the Bonus Bill, the Hartman National Bank
would like to call their attention the single item of
the Presidents final word in his letter to Congress
1t is not possible, he stated, to commend either
program of taxation a Treasury obligation to meet
the financial needs of the proposed legislation. "It
continues to be my best judgment that compensa
ton legislation enacted at this time ought carry with
it provisions for raising the needed revenues and find
myself unable to suggest any commendable plan other
than that of general Sales Tax"
Is there anybody who, after reading this brief
reference the letter find therein any just ground
for criticism, or, more important any doubt to who
is the real leader in Washington?
Yet again have the times produced the man, and
this time when the outlook dark for the relief of
tax burdens Here is irmness rarely to be met
with in craftsmanship and the decisiveness and fear
lessness of the American capita n of industry.
The true character of the Bonus has long been
evident coaked raid upon the United States Treas
ury The Hartman National Bank still wonders, how
ever if the Senator'S and Congressman who back the
Bonus recognize the full significance of the vertable
flood of protest that certainly have reached their
ears, if their understanding. Do they think that
they have contributed in any to the main
of such confidence their constituents minds
shall warrant their standing for endorsement
Election Day? 1t may be SO, but doubt it.

TRANSIT OFFICERS
GASP AT APPRAISAL
Not Ready to Reply to Board,
but Hint Figures Are
RidiculOusly Low.

The Transit Commissions appraisal
figures of the city's traction lines. as
recommended in the report Of its bureau
of valuation. fell yesterday into the
camps of the various railway corpora
tions with Jolt.
A high officer of one of the rapid
transit companies most deeply concerned
expressed the sentiment seemingly prev
alent among his fellows when he turned
from a perusal of the tabulations with
hopeless wave Of the hand and ex-
claimed. Thank God the courts still are
left TO us!"
To all this the commission replies, in
effect: "You can't make an omelet
without breaking eggs; no more can
YOU squeeze out 5000. 900. 900 of water
without somebody getting wet"
When a Anal valuation is reached
after the companies pleas have been
heard 1t is none of the business of the
commission, it was explained, what kind
of arrangement the Interborough or any
other company may make with the hold
ers of it's outstanding stock.
The bond and note holders, who have
the first lien and are the real owners
of the road, il was said, may eat the
entire apple themselves or they may. at
their owl. discretion. give a small bite
to the stockholders. But the final APP
praisal will be the measure OF the new
securities in the municlpalized corpora
ton which each particular group of com
panies will receive in exchange for title
TO its properties-title which in thirty
five years will vest in the city outright.
Third Avenue Road Meets.
The executive committee of the Third
Avenue Railway Company met in SC
Broadway, S. w Huff president of the
company presiding. In reply to in
quiries following the meeting members
of the committee said they had given
consideration to the valuation placed
upon the companies of their system, but
they declined TO comment upon those
appraisals except to say that they were
'absurdly low"
1t was asserted by one who desired
to remain anonymous that the proposed
figure of s33,e67 ,430 would not be suf-
ficient to enable the company to retire
it's bonds at face value, despite the fact
that during recent months the opsrat-
ing revenues had been sufficient to
meet full interest charges upon those
bonds.
The Transit Commission will resume
public hearings tomorrow. The next
topics to which it probably will address
itself will be inadequate service and the
estimated future earning capacity of
each company. Since the purchasing
power of the nickel has grown. many OF
he companies have been disposed OF
