PRICE: TESTIMONY OF WIDOW AND NIECE DIFFER AS TO SHOOTING OF PHILLIPS Immigration Com mittee Returns From European Trip. MANY COUNTRIES VISITED ON TOUR Important Recommenda tions Ave To Be Made to National Lawmakers. New York, Sept. 3.—The members of the United States immigration com- mission returned from Europe today on the eteamshlp Adriatic with new views on the important subject and Ideas which will be placed before congress It, next session. In most countries visited the attitude toward Immigration was unfavorable. The members who returned today are Senator William P. Dillingham, Sena tor Lodge, of Massachusetts; Senator Latimer, of South Carolina; Congress, man Howell, of New Jersey; Congress, man Burnett, of Alabama, and Con gressman Bennett, of New York. Upon arriving at the dock, Senator Dllllng ham Issued a statement telling In general way what had been done. The. statement Is altogether descriptive of the Investigation, but with the excep tion of stating that a report will be made to congress It does not tell what action will bo taken In the future. Investigation Expensive. That the government places great Importance on the result of the Inves. ligation Is evident from the extent and great expense of the tour nnd that the ' rrant-sceklng sections of the country look for relief from the recommendations of tho committee also has been evidenced while they were abroad. Tho committee looked Into the methods employed by transportation cnmpahles In handling Immigrants, giv ing specific attention to this feature so as to determine the responsibility of the companies for the Introduction Into the United States of an undesirable clns, of people. The question of pre venting the coming of criminal classes tn this country also was a chief sub ject, and Senator Dillingham states that Important recommendations on thla matter will be made to congress. It has been learned from conversa tion of the members that what the commission learned on this first prac Meal movement to solve the Immlgra tlon question Is most Important. It believed the commission will visit va rious parts of tho country and continue their Investigation. What Burnett 8ays. I don't think the South needs Immt gratlon,” said Congressman Burnett, mean of the kind she Is getting In part ot this time. We have the negro ques tion In the South and we can't afford <o have a similar question at thts time. We have, seen Immigration of the un desirable sort which continues now, and I want to say that I am a restrictions. ' don't believe In letting every kind of people come In here. I believe In an educational test.' Congressman Burnett, of Alabama, has no faith In the suggestion to over tome the negro question by bringing lb any kind of Immigrants to take the places of the negroes. An undesirable class of Immigrants would only disturb the peace of the Southern states and ‘Mr up more trouble. "There would the a Sicilian question the same as the negro question If they “re to be permitted to enter the South in sufficient numbers," he said. All the members of the committee expressed themselves as opposed to i tain classes of Europeans and some radical action will be taken to keep out the criminal classes. The general Im- prcKion Is that restrictive laws will be enacted and the entire system of Im migrant Inspection will be remodeled as a result of the Investigation. Suoh a measure will surely make provision for regulating tho transportation com panies which are Interested only In the hordes of people they can shove Into America and not In tho class at all. as hmg as the price of transportation is pold. This Is particularly true of transportation agents on the other side. New Laws Are 8ure. In fencing oft questions as to what report will be made, the commissioners wanted It understood that they did not act as Immigration agents, but simply r.ede observations end carried on thetr inquiry to form opinions which proba bly will be the opinion of congress. ■Senator Dillingham made this state ment for the sntlre commission: "We visited every European country from which we receive any. considera ble number of Immigrants and studied the more Important phases In each country. "A strong sentiment against emigra tion has developed. Al large proportion "f males leave their countries at the “ge they are liable to military duty, and this produces a strong prejudice against emigration. "There Is a decided tendency on the part of the aliens of certain nationali ties to send back to their native coun- t rles the larger part of their earnings tn the United States. The total amount of money thus transferred each year lx enormous. "The chief muses of emigration from l .'trope are: A widespread knowledge ' jut labor Is more generously reward- *7 In America than at home; the ad- v*«a i-^d the financial assistance of .

Council Passed the Bell Franchise In Face of City Attorney’s Opinion At a meeting of general council on September 3 the city attorney was asked his ruling on the pending ordinance making grant to the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. He stated that, in his opinion, the grants by the city to the telephone com pany for privileges on the streets, etc., would expire with the charter of the com pany. He was then asked as to the legality of the pending ordinance, where it ex tended the grants or privileges. He replied that his opinion being that these grants would expire with the life of the company—THAT IT WOULD NOT BE LEGAL TO EXTEND THESE GRANTS EXCEPT DURING THE LAST YEAR THEREOF, d He stated, however, that the position on which the ordinance was reported was that there was a contest as to the term of these grants, and it was claimed that in order to settle this contest the present ordinance was offered. He also stated that his ruling on this point was that while council could compromise any contest, the contest must be real and not casual or assumed. HE HELD, BESIDES, THAT ANY SETTLEMENT OR COMPROMISE BY COUNCIL COULD NOT, IN ANY EVENT, CHANGE THE LAW, WHICH WOULD HOLD AN EXTEN SION OF GRANTS OTHER THAN DURING THE LAST YEAR VOID, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE DISCRETION OF COUNCIL, IF THE POW ER TO SETTLE SAME WAS DENIED. Being asked his opinion on the point made that the renewal of charter re newed grants held, he replied that he did not think a renewal of charter had such effect, but that the grants must be likewise renewed.

Most of them have been beaten by mobs, and all are hungry and half clothed. , The cause of the uprising was the fact that dally white men were being replaced In the mllle by Hindus. The native Indians became exceedingly bold, and Inaulte to women and chil dren were dally occurrences. White women were pushed from the side walks and subjected to many other In- di Trouble has been brewing for a long time, and the action »f the mob In driving out the Invaders Is clearly ap proved by public opinion. It Is hardly Ikely that the leaders In the affair will be prosecuted. The matter, how ever. Is to be laid before the Canadian authorities, the beaten Hindus being British subjects. At the first cry of "Drive out the Hindus" 600 men gathered and began the attack. Mills where blacks were working were raided and the Hindus dragged forth. Lodging houses were Invaded and the Hindus driven from their rooms to the limits of towrn, where they were Informed that It was to their Interest to get as far away aa possible. , . , All authority was paralyzed for up ward of five hours. The police were helpless. 00000000006000000000000000 0 BLACK HANL LETTER 9 RECEIVED BY ROBBED MAN. 0 „ Augusta. On., Sept. 3.—L. F.
