more than 200 stockholders
financing the establishment of a
Republican daily wspaper,

a dozen Democratic dailieS while
they have not had a newspaper
to champion their cause.
The location of the new daily
will be decided by a committee
Of ten which was appointed at a
meeting Of Republicans held in

POLLARD GIVEN
SECRET DATA
ON AFFAIR
Governor Report Prepared by
Military Board; Mills at
DanviIIe Still Operate

DANVILLE, Va, Dec. 1.-THE
death of Lockwood Pickett, "a
year-old Forest Hill, N. c., man.
shot early yesterday by a Virginia
National Guard patrol on strike
duty, is expected at any moment.
Pickett, who was said to be
attempting to run so gallons Of
liquor through, was shot when
he refused to halt his car near
SchOOIfield, four miles from
here, headquarters Of the troops.
Bullet Enters Back
One bullet entered his back
close to the spine, paralyzing him.
Doctors say there Is no chance for
his recovery. A military board
met last night to investigate the
shooting and sent a secret report
Of the affair to Governor Pollard.
Several thousand strikers met
last night in Dansylvania Hall,
their headquarters, and protested
against the stopping CT cars on
the public highway by the troops
and the searching for explosives
or suspicious" persons.
They also protested against
the shooting of young Pickett,
who has no connection with the
strike.
Complaints Are Numerous
Numbers of complaints have
been heard here from working
men and tourists who have been
halted on the highway at the
point of rifles and searched.
The strike seems now to have
settled down to a long-drawn-out
waiting game, to determine which
will win, the strikers or the mill
owners.

his home in lion, N. Y, so that
he could be near his fiance.
In asking clemency, Clayton's
attorney said he believed the
youth, who headed his class, was
unable to conceive the conse:
quences of his act.

derstood, does not include applicants
for admission who are deharred at inn

aliens who for one reason or another
more or less extended residence here.
HUH II Chief oficiaI.
The enforcement OF the immigration
law Is primarily vested In the Bureau Of

sioaer general Of immigration, Honor
able Harry e. Hull Of Iowa, 10 the chief
Ofsicial and George J. Harris Of Texas
the second In command. The Bureau
OF Immigration is d part Of the De-

work Of the immigration service, how.
ever, Is carried on In the IS field dis
tricts which cover the entire United
States, Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii.
A total Of AIS immigration stations are
maintained ct seaports and ports Of
entry along the Canadian and Mexi-
can borders, and In some Of the larger
cities of the interior. The total au-
thorized field force of the service Is
about $500, including 1850 immigrant
describe, and an Immigration Border
Patrol Of about $50 picked men, whose
function it Is to prevent alien smuggling
over the land borders and ut certain
danger, points on the Gulf Of Mexico
and In Florida. There are no finer or
more useful ofiicers in the whole Coy
eminent service than these Immigrant
and patrol inspectors. They are truly
guardians Of our gates" and to any
Of them who may be listening I'M at
this time at far away posts Of duty, I
want to extend appreciative greetings
from their coworlxers here in Washing

Just how the machinery Of the immi-
grafton law works perhaps may best be
explained by following the course Of q
typical immigrant from the time he de-
cides to come to the United States UNI
I'll he 10 finally admitted or refused i'd

country Of which he Is q native. At
most Of the consulates, especially in
Europe, he will ind . long list Of prior
applicants and for the time being can
only have his name added 10 the wait

are obliged to conform TO the rule of
first come first served.
When his turn has been reached On
the waiting list he must appear I'm per-
