4 THE DAILY RECORD, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1909. No. 967. UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION. COMMISSION’S VAST WORK. (Daily Record correspondent.) New. York, March. Facts showing the far-reaching character of the work of the joint commission on immigration, which was appointed by Congress on Feb. 20, 1907, were recently presented to Congress through the publica tion of a preliminary report by the commission. This report deals with practically every phase of the immigration question, including Oriental aliens and other excluded classes, peonage, charity among immigrants, white-slave traffic, conditions of steerage, congestion in large cities, alien criminality, competi tion of immigrants, schools, administration of the immigration laws and distribution of immigrants. No conclusions have been reported by the com mission, but the scope of the work is shown in a manner which presages extensive legislation in the future. The report was printed to show the necessity for an appropriation of $250,000 to carry on and complete the work. Thus far the expenses of the commission from April 1, 1907, to Feb. 27, 1009, have been $344,796-. There are 198 persons employed under the commission. The commission says it is generally admitted that, notwithstanding that the present law proposes to provide for the exclusion of every undesirable im migrant, thousands of undeniably undesirable per sons are admitted each year. A feature of the work is connected with evasions of the law resulting in the importation of excluded classes. Notwithstanding the expenditure of about $500,000 annually to en force this law, the commission finds that it does not prevent the coming of Chinese labourers in con siderable (numbers. An extensive investigation is being made into the importation of women. The results show that many women are being constantly imported under condi tions which amount to absolute slavery. The com mission’s inquiries have resulted in a marked de crease in this importation. Importance is attached to the inquiry into alien criminality. The higher criminal courts of New York City are, at the request of the commission, keep ing records of each person convicted of crime, and it is intended that a study of foreign-born criminals and criminals of the second generation will be made in that city. The investigation is not' confined to the larger cities. The most extensive work undertaken by the com mission is the general field investigation into the economic and social status of immigrants. The most important topics covered are the race of employes in each occupation, years each race has been em ployed, hours of worik and discrimination for or against immigrants in employment, wages and hous ing. In taking up the congestion of immigrants in large cities the commission is observing communities inhabited principally by members of one race, as to whether the clinging together of members of the same race handicaps them in their struggle for ad vancement and prevents their rapid assimilation and Americanisation. A careful inquiry among wage earners who are forced to compete with immigrant labour is being made. A’ special field investigation is being conducted in: selected localities in the south, and it will cover the sentiment of legislation bodies affecting immi gration. Inducements and obstacles to immigration, such as climate, character of soil, free or cheap> land) amount, variety and regularity of work through out the year, the wages paid and hours of employ ment will be shown. Information is being gathered also concerning the employment of women and chil dren^ the prejudice against races, the presence or scarcity of fellow countrymen and church and school facilities^ The investigation of oriental immi gration h*e been confined thus far to the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast sections and special em^ phasis has been placed upon the inquiry concerning the Japanese. The school is declared by the commission to be the most potent influence in promoting the assimila tion and Americanisation of the immigrant. Treat ment accorded to steerage passengers at sea has been given especial consideration and the agents of the commission in many instances have come from foreign ports in the guise of immigrants. It was found that there is still room for improvement. CHURCH SERVICES: DRESDEN. All Saints’ (Enolish) Church, ' Wiener Strasse. Friday, April 16th.

Hermann Hohle, Meissen FURRIER = FUR BRACELETS == Telephone 456 == “LE REPOS DE DIMANCHE.” The French have come to look upon the King as a sort of unofficial Sovereign, who owes them Royal patronage just as they give him loyal admira tion (says the Bystander). I have seen even an en thusiastic French peasant give a shake of his head and speak familiarly of His Majesty as “Oncle Edouard,” as if he knew all the King’s little weak nesses and loved him for them. And in the same familiar way the King was reckoned upon to adorn with his Royal presence the Sunday races. They have never quite understood the King’s refusal of their kind invitation on the ground of “le repos de Dimanche,” which in France is purely an Act of Parliament observance. After I had explained the King’s reason for declining, an old French lady only observed, “I fail to understand” ; nor have I ever been able to explain in France our Sabbatarian views. BRITISH PROGRESS IN AVIATION. (Daily Record correspondent.) London, April 14. According to statements in the London newspapers, the Aero Club of Great Britain has received a con cession from the War Office for the use of land for experimental purposes on Salisbury Plain. The Aerial League of the British Empire has induced Mr. Haldane to appoint a special' committee to consider the subject of defence of seaport towns against attack by airship. The War Office has decided to set aside a tract of land in Wilts not far from Amesbury and Stonehenge, for the purpose of ex periments. Sheds are to be erected for the shelter of aeroplanes, and building operations will be be gun at once. The buildings will be protected by unclimbable fences, and will be placed in charge of the county police. The War Office aeroplane is to be brought to Salisbury Plain for further experiments, and a piece of the training ground has been set apart for Mr. S. F. Cody’s use. The Aerial League of the British Empire has been in correspondence with Mr. Haldane for some weeks past on the subject of strengthening the Territorial Army by the creation of companies specially train ed in the defence of seaport towns against attack by airships. The league undertakes to assist if the War Office will give certain specified facilities to wards the establishment of a technical college for the training of aeronauts. This assistance will main ly take the form of a substantial grant-in-aid and the use of public lands as trial grounds. They have also asked that officers of the naval and military forces in active employment may be permitted to associate themselves as members of the league, which is strictly non-political. Mr. Haldane has appointed a special committee, presided over by the Master of the Ordnance, Colonel Sir C. F. Hadden, to report on the extent to which the War Office can assent to the above proposals. THE MILLIONAIRE’S PARADE. (Daily Record Correspondent) London, April 14. A correspondent, signing himself “An American,” sends the following letter to the London press:— I am very tired of the so-called American “news” published by certain London newspapers, which are apparently determined to educate untravelled Britons in the belief that America is a land of mad mil lionaires, extravagant chorus girls, “freak” society women, murders, divorces, and two-headed calves. Any lie is apparently worth cabling from New York so long as it shows that Americans are either mak ing fools of themselves or robbing some one. I read in a newspaper today that there was a “millionaires’ parade” in New York on Easter Sun day. Every American knows that Fifth-avenue, the Park-lane of New York, is crowded on Easter Sun day with clerks. and typists, who compete with the wealthier classes in the variety and splendour of their Easter raiment. It is no more a parade of millionaires than the Sunday night procession of East End folk from the Bank to Charing Cross and back is a parade of undertakers. The “down-trodden” working people of America live under the blessings of a tariff which enables them to wear good clothes. Their prosperity, how ever, does not mean that they are millionaires. DISPUTED TITLE TO FAME. Fame achieved in past ages-every now and again has“to meeC some attack, the result of research. Perhaps’ the latest victim is Villebrord Snel, or Snellius, as he is more generally known, the Dutch mathematician, professor at Leyden, the discoverer of the law of refraction. Up to the present he has been considered as the inventor of triangulation. But Dr. Van der Plaats of Utrecht disputes the claim of Snellius, who expounded his theory in 1617 in his “Eratosthenes Batavus.” The Utrecht pro fessor says that the discoverer of the method of triangulation was Reinier Gemma, who died thirty- six years before Snellius was born.. Gemma was a man of great distinction, a friend of Mercator, the geographer, and Charles Quint. In 1553, ac cording to Dr. Van der Plaats, Gemma enunciated the principle of triangulation in a little work bearing his name and written in Flemish. A NOVEL LODGE. •* Some time ago we heard of a Masonic Lodge which had been acquired by the Church in France, and the lodge room turned into a chapel. Now a contemporary cites a very different case. At Aix, the convent formerly in the occupation of Carmelite nuns, has been acquired by the masonic body, and the choir of the chapel has been turned into a temple. WEATHER FORECAST FOR TODAY of the Royal Saxon Meteorological Institute. Moderate south-westerly winds, less cloudy, no more heavy showers, somewhat warmer.
