PAGE FOUR Where Aliens Are Smuggled Desperate Effort to Be Staged to End Tide of Contraband Aliens Now Running By LARRY BOARDMAN WASHINGTON, May 17.—The U. S. Bureau of Immigration is or ganizing its forces in a desperate effort to stem the tide of contra band aliens now pouring over the country’s borders via the smuggling route. By enlisting a band of border rangers, 450 strong, the bureau Shopes to hold back the illegal im migration flood. A law authorizing the ranger or ganization, and appropriating ?L --200,000 for its work, is pending in Congress. Immigration authorities are confident of its speedy passage. Meanwhile, with thousands of miles of border to watch and onl,. a handful of inspectors stationed at scattered points, bureau officials are faced with a virtually hopeless task. This is admitted by W. W. Sib ray, assistant immigration commis sioner general, in charge of the work. “Look at a map,” he says, “and you will .get some idea of the job that confronts us. “The Canadian border stretching from the Atlantic to Puget Sound; the Mexican border, from the Paci fic to the Gulf. That’s the answer Aliens from countries which have exceeded their immigration quotas are being smuggled in by the thou sands—-and we have no facilities to stop it. “Mexicans, Greeks, Syrians and Italians are stealing in from Mexi co, English and Germans from Canada and Chinese from both. “Theey have asked 97 men, 9 patrol boats and 15 motorcycles to combat this condition when the proposed patrol is organized. But , even with a band of 450 rangers, we will still be faced with a gigan tic task, and the Detroit officials will be lucky t 0 get half the men and equipment they have asked for.” GEORGIA OSTEOPATHS WILL VISIT KIRKWOOD ATLANTA, May 17.—Through out Georgia, plans are being made -ftfr a pilgrimage of osteopaths to Kirksville, Mo., the last week ih ii May, when the osteopathic profes celebrates its fiftieth anni ■■ versary.

May | 26 will be the chief celebration day,, with addresses by the governor of Missouri, and nationally known statesmen, as well as leaders in the. osteopathic profession. Dr. A. T. Still made his first an-1 nouncement of the discovery of osteopathy, in 1874, and located at Kirksville the following year. Mis souri, therefore, will have the big gest place in the celebration, but when it comes to the parade, each state will strive to outdo the others, with prizes offered for the best representations. A man on a vacation will spend more mimey accidentally than he will on purpose at home. The balance of power in Europe depends chiefly upon their balance of mind.

METHODIST BISHOP FLAYS IMMORALITY WASHINGTON, May 17.—Tes timony before the house judiciary committee at hearings on pending bills to legalize 2.75 per cent beer was momentarily diverted to the question of prescent day American morals when Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, told the committee he thought there was “more im morality than drinking” among the younger generation. The bishop’s opinion was given in reply to a question by Re presen tatave O’Sullivan, Democrat, Con necticut, as to whether he did not. think there was more drinking among young men and women un der prohibition. “An alarming and inexplicable attitude,” the I -Loj- a.-.-erted, developed among women towarl morals and things are done now which would not have been tolerat ed several years ago.” Bishop Cannon declared ihe “free moral life of France” had made its impression on American morals and that the young me , who served over-seas during the war had been different since thei ■ return. From his observation when he was sent to France by'th • government to study moral condi ’ tions of vice such as they had never seen before. Asked for his opinion concern ing stories of high school boys car rying flasks in their hip pockets, the bishop said there probably I were exceptional cases where boy. might do this out of a spirit of ad venture. In response to questions con cerning the intoxicating effect of beer, the bishop said he had been somewhat out of cantact with be< i drinkers “since my college days,” but added that some of hig ckis. mates “used to get drunk enough” off of beer. Harry S. Warner, general sec retary of the Intercollgiate Prohi bition Association, testified that the “students of 1924 certainly are not drinking more than students of past years, and they do not favor modification of the law.” Such drinking as is found, he said, “is spectacular, exceptional and gain-' undue publicity.” A bottle in the auto is worse than two in the road, THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER $75,000 FORSYTH ECND ISSUE SOLD FORSYTH, May 17.—Bids for ■ $75,000 bond issue for the purpose of paving and improving the streets of Forsyth closed at 3 o’clock Wednesday.

TAMMANY DEPRESSED; FOLEY NOT TO ACCEPT NEW YORK, May 17—Tam many Hall, which spent the day re joicing in the fact that Surrogate James A. Foley had accepted the leadership of the organization, was thrown into consternation last night when the surrogate postively de clined to accept the pose est va, cant by the death of his st-pfather in-law, Charles F. Murphy. He said he was not physicially fit to as sume* the responsibilities. The surrgoate’s decision came as a stunning surprise to the Tiger.

Rumored Re-Marriage of Fam ous Actress Pair Brings Acid Comment From Wells TORONTO, CANADA, May 17. —“Have we arrived at the day and age of commercialized w’eddings?” —asks the Rev. R. J. Wells address ing the Ministerial Association here today and commenting on the rumored remarriage of DeWolf Hopper to his former actress wile Edna Wallace Hopper, acclaimed as America’s youngest beauty of 62. “The commercial emphasis which these people place on an institution that is held more or less sacred and is based on more than mere money getting impulses, makes me wonder how many of Hopper’s six mar riages have been for advertising purposes. He seems to let him self into > marriage by giving some women the key to his heart, but in sists on her leaving the door open; fthis open door policy has given him six wives already. “The Oschner. theory of elimi nation might have an appreciable effect on the standard of marriage if applied to those who regard this sacred union as they would the change of neexties, to be changed to suit the mood. “Isn’t it altogether possible,” the Rev. R. J. Wells continued, “that DeWolf Hopper has as much claim to distinction as a good publicity seeker as he has on his love mak ing propensities? Like as not he 1 makes it a practice of meeting up with some other star of fading’ lustre and contracts a wedding without even the formality of a kiss. It seems to be a good way to let the world know he isn’t dead. “The apparent disregard for the solemnity of the marriage rite which Hopper so widely typifies, leads me to surmise that his re-j ported remarriage t 0 the eternally youthful Edna hasn’t dimmed his idea of the value of keeping h!m self before the public. “There isn’t s 0 much difference after all between the principle of Hopper, exponent of the .legitimate stage, and P. T. Barnum of ‘one a minute’ fame.” Trying to get even usually makes a man look odd. No town is big enough for a reckless driver’s convention.
