NINE BATTERED IMMIGRANTS TO
 BE DEPORTED
They Arrived in New Bed. ford After Being Buffet ed By Storms for Fifty- nine Days

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 10- (UP)-Nine underfed and seasick immigrants aboard the ancient packet Arthur s. James faced pos sible deportation today after frightful Atlantic crossing only Il days faster than that of Columbus four and a half centuries ago.
 Buffetted by terrific seas since Columbus Day, the little schooner, her sails in shreds and her fore topmast gone, rode into Butler flats late last night at the end Of a coast guard tow rope. Fifty-nine days had elapsed since she left the Cape Verde Islands, off the African West coast, for a 300-mile coyage normally completed within month.
 The coast guard destroyer Dav- is had picked up the James, drift ing helplessly in a stormy sea 100 miles south of Marthas Vineyard. late Sunday, and yesterday had turned over the crippled schooner to the cutter Marion.
 The nine immigrants aboard the packet, who paid $50 each for passage, were to have come to this country under the October Cape Verde Quota. This quota now has been filled and the attitude of im- migration officials toward these late arrivals was not known.
 As the James tied up at quar- antine coast guard boat carrying newspaper men came alongside.
 Several passengers and some of the crew of 13 rushed to the rail and begged for cigarettes. Other woman aboard, remained below, too seasick to move.
 Suddenly there lunged out of the hold a -visaged seaman wear ing a sou-wester and overcoat. He stormed against the rail.
 What do you want?" he de. manded, staring at those aboard the coast guard craft. It was cap'n Elijeu Neves of New Bed ford. navigating officer of the pac- ket.
 What did you go through. cap tain?"
 "I went through nothin'."
 Neves couldn't understand why reporters should come out to meet his ship. They never had done so before.
 Are you lubbers tryin' to fool me?" he believed.
 Satisfied of their sincerity, the captain submitted to an over-the rail interview which went like this:
 Did you have any trouble"
 Not until october PA month out"
 We just ran into storms-one right after another. o Nor Easter she was carryin' a sea cyclone"
 "We understand your food and fuel gave out"
 "We had all the food we needed. We were short of sugar. Nothing | else. We had all the water want ed. (Coast guards had reported | that those on the packet clutched | ravenously for food tossed | aboard)."
 After denying he had called for help, Neves was asked if he could | have brought her in unassisted.
 And why not?" he roared.

 ''I am convinced that fhe suc- cess of the conference will pro- duce great universal benefit"
 without mentioning the tariff question, the king called the att tention of the nation to the fact that in the general election it gave "a clear and emphatic man. date" to the national government to carry out any proposals deemed necessary to revive confidence in British finances and to restore a favorable trade balance. The con- servatlves, who control parliament by a large majority. have demand ed establishment of tariffs. The king then referred to the national, financial and economic emergency which has forced the entire nation, including the. royal family to economize. It did not dim the splendor of the ceremonies of formal opening of parliament.
 "The serious financial and econ omic situation of the world deeply concerns my government, said the king. "It will do its utmost In cooperation with other govern ments and in a spirit of mutual helpfulness to find ways for re- storing the volume of international fPaden

New York = c. F. Adams, treas urer of First National Stores, m statement today to members of the National Chain Store Association, acored the extravagant spending now being indulged in by nationai, state and municipal authorities and charged governmental extraVa- rance with responsibility for rising tax burdens. He said: |.
 sThe public must be advised that the Increasing cost of govern ment means heavier taxes, wnicn increased the cost of living ana eventually are paid by the consum- . soThe growing burden of taxes falls upon virtually every industry. 7 increases the cost of doing business 5 and is reflected in hgiher rents and higher cost of a suit or dress, !. shoes, fuel, trolley fare, railroad ticket, and our most modest amuse- ments and recreations.
 "The alarming increase In taxes ! is plainly shown by a recent state. ment of the National Electric Llgni Association that out of every doi- s lar of revenue from sales 10 con ' sumers 10.2 cnts were paid III taxes. "A comparison of the taxes paid s by electric light and power com panies and revenues from domestle !. service shows that from 1912 te 1890 gross revenue from domestic service increased approximatelS
 700 per cent, but taxes in the same
 period increased 1.450 per cent. : such figures are ominous, anc there is but one remedy: extrava. gant spending by nation, state anc

E. H. Forbush at
 Posts College
Talked This Morning Hs- tory and Origin of Names

At the weekly assembly of Posts business college this morning at o'clock, the speaker was Erwin H. F'orbush of Springfield, Mass, edu- cational director of the Price & Lee Co, city directory publishers.
 MT Forbush first gave an outline of the history and origin of names. 'Names when originally given were significant-they had 8 direct bear ing upon the person to whom they were given. Surnames did not be- come hereditary until the 18th and 18th centuries. While names have adding and taking away of letters, practically all names can be traced to five main sources. These are:
 Personal or baptisma1-such as Johnson, the son of John; William son, the son of William, etc.
 Local or geographical names such as Hill, Brooks, Rivers, Dale, Rock. Stone, etc.
 "Of1icial names, such as King Judge. Priest, etc.
 "Occupational names, such as Farmer, Butcher, Baker, Carpenter ect.
 "Nicknames, for color such as Brown, White, Black, for flowers vegetables. birds. animals and phy- sical or mental qualities"
 He used names of different stud- knts as illustrations.
 While names as originally given were significant, continued the speaker. your name to-day is what you make 1t. Without names this would be funny world-every in- centive to ambition would be lack , ing. But we do now have before us ever. incentive to make our names well and favorabIy known and re- kpected".
