Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June s0.-The waters
of Gravesend bay have witnessed
strange scenes, but perhaps none that
encompassed SO many human emo
tions as that of tonight.
Picture the darkened and gaunt
hulls of ocean steamers bearing
within them human freight to the
number of thousands of men, women
and children Immigrants seeking
admission to the promised land.
They are the first under the fresh
quotas OF the new fiscal year, which
begins at midnight tonight. to apply
for entrance to the United States.
Only once before in American his
tory has there been spectacle sa ,sas com M
executive order, the lands of the
Creek and Seminole nations in the
Oklahoma territory were thrown
open for settlement by homeseekers.
The opening provided extraordinary
scenes. thousands OF prospective
the new lands, and at IL o'clock noon,
at a given signal, mad race began
for farms, town lots and city sites.
Whole families, the men on horse
back, the women and children In un-
wieldly farm wagons ana pra!rie
schooners drove at breakneck speed
in the wild search for favorable land;
But these people were Americans and
talked common language.
Talk No Common Tongue.
Tonight it was different. The great
linera flying ensigns of nations the
world over, hove to- an imaginary
line. anchored silently and waited.
The line marked the limit OF the
waters Of New York harbor, and the
liners waited for a given signal, At IL
o'clccok midnight, which permitted
them to steam up the narroWs ano
into the harbor with their cargoes OF
hopeful men and women. These PEG.
pie talked no common tongue. but
most of them gave thanks to com

The American immigration prob

to the attention of the nation be-
cause of the mad scramble across

Hostess, She Says

Good Samaritanism was handed
a stiff blow last night after Mrs.
r. H. Ruddy of 1866 Ingleside ter
race had taken pity on two young
boys at 10th and u streets, who
asked for ride to Park road in
her automobile.
They were polite urchins. They
thanked the hostess as they en-
tered for the ride. They took OF
their hats and bowed and smiled
their thanks at the conclusion or
the ride.
Lovely youngsters" Mrs. Ruddy
probably was murmuring when she
bethought herself Of the pocket
book which should have been
adjoining the cushion beside her.
1t was gone. When the boys left
the .pocketbook also took it's de-
parture. police at the tenth pre-
ofnct were informed last night.

CORONA OFFICERS IN BAD
 OVER BOOZE AFFAIR

A private telegram received from Valdez stated that the grand jury had indicted Harry Nettleton and George Stewart of CordoYa former fire chief and patrolman, respective ly, on the charge of conspiracy to violate the liquor laws. Not a true bill was returned against w. A.. Taylor. former deputy marshal on the same charge.
 The evidence of the government showed that shortly after last Christmas one Eddie Miller was ar rested on a charge of violation of the liquor laws Miller was arrest ed and was given a fine of S200 and 50 days in jail and he also at the same time agreed to turn in his li- quors to the marshal's office for de- struction which liquor was cached on a small island near Cordoya and consisted of about 75 cases of whis- key and some barrel goods.
 When Prohibition Officer Kava- naugh went to get the liquor to de- stroy it, the kegs were found but the 75 cases were gone, It is charged that the officers, after the plea of guilty of Miller, stole the cases and disposed of them in violation of the law.-Seward Gateway.

SPRIG OF FAMOUS TREE
 THRIVES ON CAMPUS

Although the famous Washington elm, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, under which George Washington stood to take command of the Con tinental army. has been pronounced dead, it's lineal descendant is flour ishing clear across the American continent.
 Another Washington elm. sprung from a shoot of the original tree, stands on the campus of the Uniyer- sity of Washington, in front of one of the women's dormitories there.
 In 1896, Arthur Collins. grad nate of the University of Washing ton, went to Harvard for graduate work While there he obtained per from the city officials to place a box of soil in the limbs of the old Cambridge elm. A twig pressed into that soil took root.
 This root he carefully packed and sent across the continent. In the spring of 1899 the baby elm tree was planted in front of Lewis Hall, which at that time had just been completed.
 The University of Washington elm has grown two sturdy trunks, but because of fear of injuring it both have been allowed to grow. So far as is known it is the only child of the famous tree in. the West.

RECEIVES FUNDS FROM
 NATIONAL FOREST REC0URCEs

The Territory of Alaska has re- ceived S5.77S.37 from the United States Department of Agriculture, as it's share of the receipts from na tional forest resources during the fiscal year 1923, accoding to an an nouncement by the department. Notice to this effect has been sent to Governor Scott Bone at Juneau.
 Alaska contains two national for ests, embracing 20.571. .549 acres from which sales of pulp timber were made during the last twelve months. The record breaking sale of pulpwood, involving about 3.340, ,000 cords of timber, made recently from the Cascade Creek district of the Tongass National Forest will heir swell the total receipts from Alaskan forests during the fiscal year 1924.
 One fourth of the moneys received by the department from timber sales. grazing permits. and other uses of national forests lands is turned over to the States in which such lands are located on a pro rata basis in accordance with an act of Congress. Such sums are for the school and road funds of the coun- ties containing these lands.
 The total sum turned over to all States containing these forests dur ing the fiscal year 1923 amounted to S1,321,422. Twenty-seven States and Alaska shared in the distribu tion of this sum, which exceeded the annual average for the previous five years by about s250, ,000. Increased sales of@timber were largely respon- sible for the record-breaking re- ceipts of 1923.
