3 Whales Fight Draw
With School OF
Porpoises

NEW YORK, June 22.--An-
other tale of a fight at sea-,
three whales against a school OF
porpoises, was told when the
liner Munamar arrived from
Cuba.
The whales swan abreast the
ship for a while, then bobbed up
close to one side, and the por-
poises appeared and headed for
them.
Suddenly the sea was churned
to foam. As the porpoises dart
ed into attack the whales whip
ped the lobes of their tails in a
frenzy, occasionally humping the
side of the ship, in plain view Of
scores of passengers, who lined
the rail.
AS if by a signal the por-
poises turned and darted away
with no apparent reason. E. j.
McNihel, the purser, paused to
count out the losers, and called

Husband Wants Ship Lines

A movement to compel steamship
companies TO maintain immigration
stations in all leading American
ports, was launched today by Com
missioner General Of immigration
w. W. Husband. in answer to crit.
cism in the British Parliament on
the treatment Of British subjects
at Ellis Island.
II successful, the Government will
abandon Ellis Island in New York
harbor, Angel Island at San Fran
cisco. and it's other immigration sta
tons in Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle
and New Orleans, which are costing
$1,000 900 q year for maintenance.
Duty Of Ships Lines.
Commissioner Husband. declared
the Government was not legally
bound to maintain the immigration
stations. He termed it. duty, of
the steamship lines which bring
aliens here as commercial ven
ture." He said the Government was
only paid actual cost OF meals and
q supercharge Of rs cents q day A
man which caused a loss to the
Government in it's six immigration
stations of 81 900 900 a wear
The commissioner decried criti-
cisrn from foreign nations on the
treatment of immigrants at Ellis
Island He declared that the sta
ton was not built to house cabin
passengers who are being held there
on account of filled quotas.
Husband Starts Move.
Husband today made formal re-
quest on the solicitor of the Labor
Department for an opinion on the
legality of the move. He announced
that IL legal steps will be taken
at once to force the steamship COM
panies to maintain these immigra-
ton stations. If existing law Is
insufficient bill will be introduced
in the next Congress to provide the
authority, Husband said.
1.-THE United States has been sub.
Jected to the criticism OF the world
on account of a gift said Husband.
For twenty-five years We have sub.
sidized the steam ship compan MES
bringing immigrants here, and In
return receive a small, part, only a
smart part, of the cost Of service

This cost totaling $4,000. 900 in
the last quarter century has been
paid by the Government while the
steamship companies added It to
their profits. We will ask that the
burden be shifted to the steamship
companies in the future, and il
