THEL DFP TD E The President’s Daughter and Her Husband to Visit Most of Northern Europe. Royalty Will Receive. New York, June 2.—More than the usual number of prominent society folk thronged the American Line pier at the foot of Pulton street today to witness the departure of the steam ship “St. Louis.” A large number of those present were there to bid God speed to Representative and Mrs. Longworth, who were among the pas sengers on the “St. Louis.” As the big steamship was pulled out of her berth Into the North river the great crowd on the pier waved an enthusi astic adieu, while Mrs. Longworth, with her husband at her side, gracious ly acknowledged the salutations as long as the pier was In sight. Mr. and Mrs. Longworth plan to spend the “season” In London as the guests of Ambassador and Mrs. White- law Reid, and will later pay a visit to Mr. Longworth's sister, the Viscount ess de Chambrun, In Paris. In every country which they visit— and this will Include most of the Im portant nations of northern Europe— Mr. and Mrs. Longworth will be en tertained by royalty, and it 1b thought Inevitable that diplomatic significance will be attached to their doings. Al though In the United StateB, Mrs. Longworth is simply the wife of an Ohio congressman and holds no offi cial position by virtue of being the daughter of the president, It already has been found vain to try to divest the minds of European diplomats of the thought that in a sense she repre sents the United States government.

A few days ago an Associated Press Washington dispatch to The Herald stated that the sundry appropri ation bill had been completed by the committee. The clispatch then went on to say that the bill carried the largest total ever reported in a similar bill, .and gave some of the items for public buildings, river and harbor appropriations/ for Georgia. An item of $100,000 for the public building at Macon, which building we understand to be already under course of construction, was men tioned, but no' reference was made to an item for a pub lic building at Albany. The failure, of the, dispatch to make any reference to Albany led to the impression that Congressman Griggs had lost out in his efforts to procure an appropriation lor a public building in this city. The Herald still had a lingering hope, however, that all was not lost, and yesterday- the following tele gram was' sent to Congressman Griggs: Albany, Ga., June 1, 1906. Hon. J. M. Griggs, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. Did wou lose out on item for public building at Al bany? Fact that dispatches reporting completion of bill make no mention of it, while other such appropri ations are mentioned, has created impression you lost. Please wire day press our expense. THE HERALD.' “Albany Public Building All Right.” Shortly after 3 o’clock tile following reply came from Judge Griggs: Washington, D. C., June 1, 1906. Herald, Albany, Ga. Your message delivered after three. Albany pub lic building all right. Bill not yet reported, but will be soon. J, M. GRIGGS. And so Congressman Griggs hasn’t yet lost out on the appropriation for a public building at Albany, and The Herald doesn’t believe that he will. II ’5 E ATLANTA, Ga„ June 2.—J. B.

Albany Business League Ac tively Interested in Work for Securing Needed Leg islation in this State. The Albany Business League has become much interested in the move ment that is assuming definite shape in Georgia to the 1 end of turning a more generojus share of desirable im migration to this state. The recent Immigration convention at Augusta has attracted a good deal of attention, and the work accom plished there promises to bear good fruit in the not distant future. , The Albany Business League Inter ested Itself some time ago In Immi gration matters, and has had some in teresting correspondence on the sub ject. Secretary Betjeman would have attended the Augusta convention had It been possible for him to leave home; but at any rate the League has become Identified with the movement, and will encourage it in every 7,ay possible. The Immediate aim of the present movement in the interest of increased Immigration to Georgia Is to Induce the state authorities to make provis ion for a state bureau of Immigration and for Its maintenance. There will be made to members of the legislature strong representations on the sshpect, and it is hoped that at the coming ses sion of the general assembly a bill covering the. ground thoroughly will be introduced and passed. Heretofore Georgia has received but an Infinitesimal portion of the great volume of annual implgration.- Out of 1,026,499 Immigrants reaching the ports of this country in 1904, but 518 came to Georgia. Other Southern states fared much better, thanks to their bureaus of immigration. Ala bama received about 5,000, and Mis sissippi fared quite as well. It Is necessary, if anything substan tial la to be accomplished In this di rection, for the state to make ade quate provision for the support of such a bureau as Is proposed, and the in terest manifested by commercial or ganisations justifies the hqpe that the legislature will not delay action, once the matter Is brought to Its atentlon. No seelon of the country is more sadly In need of more and better la bor than Southwest Georgia, and the active Interest of the Albany Busi ness League In this connection is to be strongly commended.
