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.

Bellingham, Wash., 8ept. *.—“Drive
out the Hindus,” was the cry which
echoed and re-echoed throughout the
city and, as a result of the mob’s ac
tion. half a dosen badly Injured Hindus
are In the hospital, while more than
400 frightened and half naked Sikhs
are In the Jail and city hall, guarded
by the police from further attacke.
Great excitement prevailed here for
a time, but the city Is quiet now. It la
reported here that nearly 1,000 natives
of India are making their way with all
haate along the line of the Great North
ern railway for Canadian territory,
where they will demand the protection
of the English flag. 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.
