Unfolding the findings OF the public
health service, the Labor Department
yesterday ordered Sammy Goldman,
fnineteen-year-old Rumanian boy. who
has failed in four mentality tests to
meet the requirements of the immi-
grafton law, deported.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Carl
r. White announced yesterday that he
had approved a recommendation of
the immigration board of review that
| ondsmen in the case of Goldman be
required to produce this feeble
minded alien" for deportation to Ru-
mania, the country from which he
came. Goldman. the Labor Depart
ment pointed out. has taken four diff
ferent examinations in order to give
him a chance for a possible certifica-
ton as to normal mentality, and the
department, it was declared, has
stretched the law to the breaking
point.
Failure of the youth to pass the last
test, held ten days ago. made it man
datory for the Labor Department to

SCIENTISTS TO VIEW
SUMS TOTAL ECLIPSE
State Department Reports on Con-
ditions in Mexico for OBJ
servations.

The State Department. through Con-
sui Leighton Hope, in charge at En-
senada, Mexico, has given the Smith
sonian Institution a report OH the con-
ditions at that place. on the west
coast of Lower California, in regard
to the observation of the total solar
eclipse of September 10 of the pres
ent year. The eclipse is total at En-
senada at 2:02 pm. on the 10th of Sep
TENDER. and is to be observed by the
astronomers of the United States.
1t is said that the weather condi-
tions at that point in Lower Califor-
MIA are generally excellent for astro-
nomical observations, which will, no
doubt, serve to encourage observation
parties to make the trip to the Pa
rific coast in the interest of as
tronomy.
Ensenada is a small village. which
may be reached from San Diego by an
auto stage line over a rough. but
passable route in about five hours.
Various points of vantage along the
path of totally can be reached from
Ensenada by automobile or by burro
pack train. but, it is said, the facfl-
tiles for such Transportation are eX-
1remely limited there. so that trans
I,ortation should be arranged for In
advance at San Diego.

Much Interest in Case.
The Goldman case has aroused con-

the public health service to be feeble
| minded and therefore mandatorily ex-
cluded from the country under the
| law. Since that time, four different
examinations have been given him.
but he has failed to pass them. His
mentality is declared to be that of a
boy of nine years Of age. 1t was eX-
planned at the Labor Department to-
day that the action taken is not
fusal to interfere with the working
of the mandatory provisions of the
law excluding feeble-minded aliens.
Many Cases Pathetic.
Announcing the deportation Of Gold
man, the department says: The La :
Dor Department recognizes the fact
that more or less hardship exists In
every deportation case. There are
still in this country a hundred aliens
certified as mentally defective, who
We're temporarily admitted by the
previous administration. Their cases
were all continued to April l, 1923. at
the request of various Interested par
ties. in order to give them the bene-
fits of any possible legislation that
Congress might enact. Congress ad-
journed without acting.
Most OF these cases are more pa
thetic than this particular one. Stay
after stay has been granted. and re-
examination after examination or
dered The public health surgeons
again certify that. In their opinion.
this child is feeble minded The sit
uation Is solely a medical proposition
as far as permanent admission OF this
boy is concerned. and in view of the
recertification by the public health
service. his deportation is mandatory
and the Secretary of Labor has no
alternative"

Of nearly three hundred thousand dollars.
According to census taken at the outset
Of the present administration the pOp1ja
ton of this island was 5000 people, but
that number is rapidly trea5lnS As a
result of the p@0ple cOh lntly leaving
the island. One can readily see by the
work done by the Sub Cnmmittee on this
tax ordinance that we are endeavorlng to
work together with Government for the
welfare of this island and its inhabitants
The Chairman Of the Sub Committee,
a medical man, and a man who has
much to do, called meetings of the
Committee as often AS it was possible
for members to attend and gave much
of his time and attention to the matter.
With these remarks | recommend to the
favorable consideration Of the Council
the Committee Report which was adopt
ed. by the Committee of the VII lie CJun-
Gil on August q, 1923.
Government Secretary (ZaRe) remark
ed: Mr.. Vlca,Chair nan. Rae Sub Con-.
mittee Report on this ordinance reached
bis Exceliency th2 Governor only Je8ter-
day; the DeSpatching Secretary brought
over a copy with him. From a casual
view it appears to be almost Identical
with the committee report issued some
time ago. Government has had no op-
~portunity Of giving it the careful study
it undoubtedly deserves. 1t does appear
however that there still remains the
fundamental difference between the at
titude of the former Governor and the
Colonial Council with respect to the per
sOnal tax feature; and it would appear
that to get anywhere it would be neces.
sary to effect 9 compromise, If not salts
factory to both sides, at least sufficiently
satisfactory, so that we can get some
where with it. | therefore suggest that
| be given an opportunity OF addressing
the Committee Of the whole Council be-
fore the Council proceeds with the adOp-
ton or rejection Of the Amendments.
The VJce- Chairman re marked: Hon
0rable Members you have beard what
the Government Secretary has said. |
conclude that if would be fair to give
him a chance to place his views before
us. The Government Secretary is a new
man and he should be given the oppOr-
t1nity Of acQuainting himself with con-
ditions. The matter therefore will go
over until after the recess.

Alta Appointed Member (BinckWJ0d)
in introducing the Committee Report
said,-Mr. Vice Chairman. | ha 4e been
appointed speaker on this Committee Re
port much against my wishes, however
/ will try to introduce it to the best Of
my ability. | presume that every mem.
bar has a copy Of the Report, so | do not
think it necessary for me to read it. At
the last meeting Of the Council His Elk
c~ellency the Governor remarked that two
years and two months is a long time for
an ordinance to be before this Council
without either accepting or rejecting it,
and | endorse his remarks, bdt in j~ustiti-
cation of the time spent on this matter |
wish 10 make a few general remarks.
Our Governor and other officials who are
here for a few years cannot see condi-
tions as we who are living our life's
interest here see them. | think | can
say with a great deal of truth behind it
that this is one of the hardest problems
the Colonial Council of st. Croix has
been called upon to solve. According to
report received from the Clerk to the
Council the Committee Of the whole
Council, between December %. 1921 and
July 10, 1922, held Z meetings in which
this ordinance was discussed without any
practical result. And from July q, 1922
to December II, 1922 the Sub Committee
of the Committee Of the whole Council
held 8 meetings upon it and as a result
you have the amendments which are now
being introduced. The Sub Committee
worked hard and co~nscientiously on this
ordinance, and have exhibited its willing
ness to work in harmony with Govern
ment.
While comparisons are Odious | think
now is the proper time to review the
ancient history OF the island. According
to the Ce Isus aiken on the 9Th of Octo-
Der, 1890 the population was 10 783 and
the land in sugar cultivation was Is, 478
acres. There were WHO esale houses in
each town importing and exporting pro-
duce, each supporting a house stevedore
that gave employment to twenty-five or
thirty men. There was keen competition
between these houses in purchasing
sugar, molasses and run. there was
money in circulation and the purchasing
power of the island was very good. In

LITTER FOR ROCKER ARMS.

A tool for lifting the rocker arms
on overhead valve motors is one
which will always find a welcome.
Such tool. handy for both the re-
pair shop and the individual car own
er. can easily be made by means of
round metal rod. bent and securely
riveted in a handle of either hard
wood or metal BY pulling upon
the end of the handle. the valve is
pressed downward. and the spring is
compressed until the rear end of the
rocker is clear of the push rod. which
may then be removed This tool will
be found useful either for releasing
the push rods or testing the valve
action.-Automobile Digest

CARE CAN prevent
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
Caution on Part of Pedes-
trians and Drivers Urged
to Cut Fatalities.

In the spring our fancieS lightly
turn to thoughts of the great out
doors. The spring fever we all get
makes us want to get out and away
from our winter surroundings and
we take our automobiles. or we walk
out into the open and because some of
us are thoughtless or even positively
careless. accidents occur. We drive
too fast. we don't pay attention to
what we are doing, or We step into
the highway without looking for ap-
preaching vehicles, or we dash mad
ly in front of them and take chance
that we viii get away safely.
The great increase in public accI-
dents is now the cause of nationw ide
concern. An authoritative estimate of
the motor vehicle fatalities in 1922
horrifies us with the statement that
$4,000 lives We're lost in the United
States That is an average of approx
imately thirty-eight men. women and
children sacrificed in accidentS-most
of them preventable-eyery day of
every week in the year. The records
show that the greatest number of ac-
cidents occur during the spring, sum-
mer and fail of the year. and that the
accident curve begins TO rise with the
opening of spring and subsidies rapid
1y with the opening of the following
winter. That means that from now on
this year. each one of us must be
doubly careful. when walking or driv-
ing on the streets and highways of
our country.
Can he Prevented.
We must face the fact that as
motor vehicles become more common
SO motor vehicle accidents will be-
come more and more common unless
we. each one of us. take reasonable
precautions for our own safety and
spare no efforts to assist the authori-
ties in the enforcement of the traffic
