of Webster school, at a meeting for
new and substitute teachers of the
city schools in the city council cham

"Take care of the supplies. We

Xagle, diplomatic representative of
the Letvian government, who was
ordered deported from New York,
was responsible for. the selection of
Nicolai Lenine to head the bolshe
vik revolution in Russia, ancording
to reports in the hands of the State
department.
These reports state that some
time during the spring of 1917,
Nagle was employed by Von Beth-mann-Hollweg,
then imperial Ger
man chancellor, to go to Switzer
land and there pick out the best
revolutionists to send into Russia
to overthrow the czar's govern

Immigrants Choke American Ports
Millions Book Passage to Dreamland and Ellis
Island Now Daily Presents Pathos as Sweaty
Peasants Overcrowd Limited Quarters.
By GEORGE KENT.
Enlreraal Burled Staff Corripoiidnt.
New York, Sept 27,Once again
a suffering, congested Europe is
piping its worn and motely peasantry
to the United States. Not a record
of ancient nations is in existence
which can tell a tale of such aflow
of humanity.
From Italy is heard the report that
no less than a 1,000,000 have booked
passage for the dreamland. Wher
ever a liner docks in Europe, sweaty
peasants, burdened with striped and
shapeless baggage, wind their way
into the steerage. In every nation
the poor are forsaking the reality of
their own soil for the dream of
America, free golden America.
When the war was over there was
a scampering for passports and a
flocking back to the homeland of
immigrants of prewar days. Polish,
Italian, Czecho-Slovak, Irish and
Brish all. hungering for a breath of
mother soil, departed. But it is not
what once it was over there. And
they are coming back, disenchanted.
These form a goodly part of the
steerage populations.
The tide of immigrants lias
swelled week by week until last
week the brusque but kindly gates
by which all aspirants for entrance
must pass, clogged and choked. Five
giant liners attempted to unload
their human cargoes on the island
at once. Dikes were down, as it
were, and Ellis island was jammed.
So an embargo was imposed. For
48 hours no bright-eyed emniigrant
climbed down on the island from
a steerage gangway.
Those that hail landed -were
packed into the narrow sleeping
quarters. The island is a tight little
island in any event, and the quart
ers were never meant to accommo
date thousands.

Officials Decline To Discuss
NegotiationsA But intoma
tion Is Tha Joint Coin
mission Unacceptable
Washington, Sept 27. (By The
Associated Press.) Administration
officials continue to decline to dis
cuss for publication any of the
phases of the negotiations jvith
Japan, growing out of the proposed
anti-Japanese land law in California,
but the impression has gone out that
a proposal from Tokio that the ques
tion be referred to a joint commis
sion for solution would be un
acceptable. The conversations regarding the
California law which have been go
ing on between Ambassador Shide
hara of Japan and State department
officials are continuing and, so far
as has been learned, the proposal for
a joint commission has not been
formally communicated to Washing
ton by the Japanese government.
Allays All Alarm.
What progress, if any, has keen
made in the negotiations has not
been disclosed. The attitude of the
State department is described as
one calculated to prevent the de
velopment of a feeling of alarm in
the United States that might ap
proach even approximately that
which appears to be growing in
Japan.
Conflicting opinions of both
American and Japanese authorities
on international law are said to have
made the task of the State depart
ment officials and the Japanese am
bassador more difficult. Proponents
of the California law say that Cali
fornia in enacting a measure barring
the Japanese in this country from
owning land In that state would be
refusing to the Japanese no rights
or privileges which are not refused
by Japanese ' law to Americans in
Japan.
Is Diplomatic Problem.
Japan contends that the Califor
nia law, which is to be voted on
in November, is discriminatory
because it does not apply to all for
eigners alike, as does the Japanese
law. The suggestion has been made
in Tokio that after the law is en
acted it be tested in the United
States supreme court. Some Japan
ese authorities on international law
doubt that this would be effective,
as they state frankly that the pro
posed California law conflicts
neither with the constitution nor
with the terms of the American
JapaneMj treaty.
Dr, Kobayashi, writing of the
proposed law in the "Japan review
of international law,", says it is fu
tile to attempt opposition by legal
means.
"Neither the present California
alien land law nor. the proposed
law," he said, "can be dealt with
as legal questions. All that can be
done is to soften them by political
and diplomatic methods."
Cattle Rustler Gets
Term in State Prison
Lincoln, Sept. 27. (Special.)
Lon L. Guy was brought to the state
penitentiary Monday to serve one to
three months ot a one to 10-year
sentence for cattle rustling in Scotts
bluff county.
Guy pleaded guilty after his ar
rest January 2 and the court allowed
the time from that date to the time
of his sentence to apply on his term,
according to Secretary H. H. Antles.
Guy worked on the roads as a trusty
during the summer.
Guy's term will expire about No
vember 1 if the state allows him
"good time" for working on Scotts
bluff roads. If the good time is'not
deducted, Guy's sentence will not
expire until January 2,

from leaving by the illness of the
6-year-old child. The child was
born in a concentration camp, where
the parents had been kept by the

"He had never known the taste

the mother. He was a war baby, in
all the pathetic meaning of the

The family is released. They are
free to do as they, wish in the new
land at the expense of their child.
Cases of equal pathos constantly
crop up and are passed over as part
of the day's work by the officials on
the island.

So As to Defeat
Nonpartisan League.
Washington. Sept. 27. Declaring
that the Nonpartisan league had
taken over the democratic party in
Montana, Senator Myers, democrat,
of that state, in a formal statement
issued here today, urged Montana
democrats to support the republican
congressional and state tickets with
the exception of the nominee for at
torney general.
There is no reason, said Sena
tor Myers, "why the democratic
party of Montana should be swal
lowed by a hybrid combination of
radicals and revolutionists, bent on
ruination,, and there is" no reason
why a democrat should swallow
their nondescript ticket. I refuse to
do so.
"This action may sign my political
death warrant. I would a thousand
times rather retire to private life
than to continue in public life at the
price of betraying my state into the
hands of what I consider the worst
elements of politics and turning it
over to a carnival of recklessness
and an orgy of radicalism such as
has prevailed in .North Dakota lor
several years."
Senator Myers explained that the
Nonpartisan league had obtained the
democratic nominations in his state
by entering its candidates as demo
crats in the recent state primary.
The senator said that while his con
demnation did not apply to the
democratic nominee for governor
personally, he could not stand his
backers and associates.

butcher had to pay 48 cents a pound,
because he could not buy in ' th.:
enormous quantities necessary to
get the lower prices.

Harding Talks to
Trainmen on Trip
Praises Cu'mmins-Esch Law
Senators Train Meets
Slight Aceident
On Board Special Train, Sept. 27.
Senator Warren G. Harding, re
puzlicau presidential candidate,
made his first speech of the day on
his journey to Baltimore at Al
toona, Pa., where he told railway
employes that the Cummins-Esch
railway law is "the best piece of
legislation for the railway workers
ever placed on the statute books."
The nominee also told the Al
toona crowd that he loved Pennsyl
vania because it was a staunch re
publican state, but added that when
the republican party made mistakes
the people should correct it.
"It has been reassuring," he con
tinued, "to know that if we of our
party have been unminalul you
have turned to another party to
correct things. I am glad you did
it,- because when one party has
failed you should turn to another
to put your wishes into execution.
I have a strong notion we are go
ing to do something of that kind
very soon."
Later the nominee made a short
talk at Lewiston, Pa., and greeted
still another crowd at Harris
burg, where his train stopped for
more than an hour.
As the train passed through Pitts
burgh during the ' night a switch
engine sideswiped one of the cars
occupied by newspaper men and
jolted the senator's private car,
"Ideal," which was directly behind.
No one was injured and the - only
damage done was the shattering of
the vestibule windows of the news
paper car.
The special was running slowly
when the impact occurred and few
of those on board were awakened.
Train officials said the engineer of
the switch engine had misunder
stood the signals.

Hedges on Palmer, Too.
In answer to a scries of questions
propounded editorialy by The Bee,
Governor Cox, democratic candidate
for president, told a large audience
at the Auditorium last night that he
does not approve of various acts
of Postmaster General Burleson and
Attorney General Palmer, members
of President Wilson's cabinet.
Governor Cox declared that he be
lieved the two cabinet officers had
performed their duties "whole-heart-edlv,"
and "conscientiously," but that
he did not endorse "matters" in their
administration. eH did not mention
what specific "matters" he disap
proved. Governor Cox said in this connec
tion: "I served in congress with notli
of these gentlemen. I know them
to be high minded, conscientious
men and believe that their adminis
trations were wholeheartedly per
formed. Yet, there are matters in
both of thci radministrations which
I do not indorse. Neither do I in
dorse the policy of Frank Hitchcock
as postmaster general. Mr. Hitch
cock, you will remember, is the gen
tleman who ran the road roller over
Roosevelt in the convention of 1912
and organized the southern dele
gates in 120 for General Wood.
Neithervdo I indorse the adminis
tration of Philander C. Knox as at
torney general.
Cox in No Hurry to Meet
Nebraska Democrats
By EDWARD BLACK.
Lincoln, Neb.. Sept 27. (Special.)
The best laid plans of democrats
are now and then interrupted by
the exigencies of a national cam
paign, evidence of which was ob
served today during Governor Cox's
itinerary through Nebraska. The'
governor and party arrived at Nprth
Platte at 8 a. m., and was to have
been met by W. H. Thompson, na
tional committeeman, and Keith Ne
ville, democratic state chairman and
former, governor.
Mr. Neville was up during the
matutinal freshness of the morning
and donned his best bib and tucker
to meet and greet the democratic
presidential candidate. When lie
sought admittance to the Cox special
train upon arrival at his home town.
North Platte, the dignitary who
guards the Cox suite was dilatory
about recognizing the democratic
state chairman. The result was that
Mr. Neville did not accompany the
train, as had been planned by Na
tional Committeeman Thompson.
Committee Delayed.
A reception committee of Lincoln
democrats went to York to join the
special train. They were required
to cool their heels all of the way
from ,York to Seward before being
admitted to the presence of the pres
idential candidate. Dr. P. L. Hall
and J. S. McCarthy of Lincoln
were so piqued that they declined
to join the committee when invited
to meet Governor Cox.
Governor Cox arrived at Lincoln
shortly after 4 p. m., and addressed
an outdoor crowd in front of the
Auditorium before entering the
building at 4:50. The Auditorium
contained nearly 3,000 attendants,
who accorded the governor a hearty
reception. National Committeeman
W. H. Thompson introduced Mayor
J. E. Miller, who then introduced
Governor ' Cox. Mrs. T. J. Doyle
presented the governor a bouquet
of flowers in the names of the war
mothers of Lincoln.
Says No Liquor Issue.
In his Lincoln address Governor
Cox referred to "scouts" which, he
insisted, are being sent hither and
thither by Will Hays, republican na
tional chairman, for the purpose of
asikng the democratic 'candidate an
noying questions. He also charged
that an attempt is being made to
subsidize certain newspapers, and he
complained that some newspapers
are not giving him the space his
campaign deserves.
"Liquor is no more an issue than
slavery in this campaign," the gov
ernor said. "The 18th amendment
is a part of our constitution, and the
president, when inaugurated, swears
to support the constitution. I took
that oath vfhen I became governor
of Ohio, and I believe I will take
it as president. I have not violated
my oath as governor of Ohio. The
Sunday closing law was not enforced
in Ohio, and for the first time the
keys of saloons were turned on Sun
day under my administration. That
is my record."
The governor voiced one of his
complaints in the following words:
Defends League.
"How simple the league of nations
is and yet a paid propaganda for
more than a year has been main
tained in America for the purpose
of confusing the public mind. Mem
bers of the republican party, let
me call your attention to this fact:
In the campaign book issued by the
republican national committee, the
league of nations is not printed as
a part of the literature of this cam
paign. I charge that that only con
firms my charge of a campaign of
silence, of deception, insincerity and
Hypocrisy. 1 contend more than
that that there can be nothing more
dangerous, more harmful, having
possibilities for graver evils, than
en attempt, now being made in this
country, to buy up newspapers ev
erywhere and to seek to induce news- ,
papers to publish only one side of
the case.
"I ask you to reflect and, reflect
seriously on this question: Whera
