"This great Department of Labor I represent could be self-supporting if rertain plans of mine go through. Every new arrival is charged a head tax so that the department realized !rom that and other sources more than $.1,000,000 last year. The trouble Is that this is dumped inio the Treas ury department as loose revenue. I rant that money along with an ad ditional revenue that we can collect easily for a great and special pur pose. "In the Department of Labor we have a bureau of naturalization that needs first of all a new and better name. I want that called the bu reau of citizenship. Until now we have let the alien new comer' roam botit the country pretty much without guidance. I want to keep track of the man.

When they, retired to the jury room, the jurors took with them the evidence three quarts of bonded whisky and one quart of port wine.

"You shaid something, yesh in deed," was the response. A bailiff was dispatched to sal vage the "evidence." It had dwindled to a teaspoonful.

Scorned Woman Strong Witness In Graft Frobe Divorced Wife of Union Lead er Gives . Damaging Testi mony In Chicago Build ing Investigation. Chicago, June 30. "A seemed woman" is proving a sensational witness before the Dailey commis sion which is investigating graft in the building industry of Chicago. She is Mrs. Anna Schardt, divorced wife of William Schardt, business agent of the Carpenters' union. She says her husband had knowledge of "staggering sums of graft." Schardt divorced his wife in 1908 and has since remarried.

While the commission was digging up additional evidence of widespread graft operations, the special grand jury returned indictments against Thomas Kearney, president of the Building Trades council, and John McCaffery, union business agent. Kearney is charged with extorting $15,000 from Ascher Brothers to in sure the prevention of strikes on their new Roosevelt theater. Tourist Camping Park Is Provided at Scotia Scotia, Neb., June 30.

Conference on Irish Question Is, Impossible De Valera Refuses Proposal of Premier Lloyd George, . In Reply to Sir James Craig. Dublin, June 30. The proposal of Premier Lloyd George for a con ference in London on the Irish ques tion between representatives of southern and northern Ireland and the British government is impos sible of acceptance in its present form. This declaration is made by Eaniann de Valera, the Irish repub lican leader, to Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, in reply to Sir James' notification that he cannot meet Mr. De Valera in a preliminary conference in Dublin. Mr De Valera's letter is quoted by thte Irish Bulletin, organ of the Dail Eireann, as follows: "I greatly regret that you cannot come to a conference in Dublin Mqnday. Mr. Lloyd George's pro posal, because of its implications, is impossible of acceptance ' in its present form. Our political differ ences ought to be adjusted and can, I believe, be adjusted on Irish soil. Butt is obvious that in the nego tiation of peace with Great Britain, the Irish delegation ought not be divided, but should act as a unit on some common principle." All four southern unionists, Earl Midleton, Sir Maurice Dockrell, Sir Robert H. Woods and Andrew Jameson, have accepted Mr. De Valera's invitation for a conference at the Mansion house, Dublin, Mon day, which will presumably form a prelude to a further reply by De Valera to the British prime minister. The refusal of Sir James Craig to attend, however, it is contended, will detract from the importance of the conference and many unionists jl Ijt i I t!li mi SSiijifi hi til Liimiwi win- , 1 1" Ji'R I t I I ill I J 11 :;i:::t:::;::::iitai:: , , , , , REGPATVOrFV- , p HI 1 B' , i . - liliiiillpil New uat todav 'VSctoF Records dTMly 1921 An Open Secret Quartet in C Minor Allegretto (Brahms) Sonnambula Come per me sereno (Ohl Love, for Me Thy Power) Serenade (Dole-Moszkowski) Favorita Spirto gentil (Spirit So Fair) Gypsy Airs, No. 1 (Sarasate) Violin Melody in A Major (General Chas.
