PROMISES TO BREAK
IMMIGRATION RECORD
Washington, D. C., Jan. 22—
The fiscal year 1913 promises to
be a record-breaking one for im
migration. Daniel J. O’Keefe,
commissioner general of immi
gration, is in possession of re
ports from Ellis Island and other
immigration stations showing
that more immigrants are seeking
admission into the United Stales
than at any corresponding period
during the past live years.
During the first four mouilis of
tlie current fiscal year, beginning
July 1, the total number of alien
immigrants admitted into the
United States was 371.389. This
represents an increase of about
(in per cent in the tide of immi
gration Inward the United States
during these months as compared
with the same mouths in 1011.
If this rate of increase is main
tained until next. June the immi
gration for the year will approx
imate 1,100,(190, tt would smash
all American records by nearly
.•0(1,000.
During the first four mouths nf
the current year the number of
immigrants admitted at Ellis Is
land was 270,985. This was more
than the total number admitted
through all ports in July, August,
September and October. 1911,
which was 233,801.
About one-fifth (70,053) of all
the immigrants admitted were
Italians. The greatest number of
South Italians ever admitted in
one year was 242,197 in the liseal
year of 1907. At Liie present rate,
about 250,000 of them will lie ad
milted during the fiscal year 1913.
During the first four months of
the current year the number of
Polish immigrants admitted was
4 1,03 4, giving them second place
only to the Italians, while the
Jews admitted ranked third, with
34,520, who came into the coun
try during July, August. Septem
ber and October.
During July, August,.September
and October the tide of immigra
tion was stronger from the Bal
kan states. In these month 4,
812 Bulgarians, Servians and
Montenegrins; 28,580 Greeks, and
854 Turks were admitted, making
a total of 3-4,252 immigrants and
non-immigrants. In the same
period 2,771 Bulgarians, Serv
ians and Montenegrins; 9,577
Greeks, and 85 4 Turks were ad
mitted, making a total of 3 4,252
emigrants and non-emigrants.
The excess of admissions over de
partures for the live races dur
ing the four months immediately
preceding the outbreak of the Bal
kan war was 21,140. The Turks
are the only one of these five
races whose emigration from the
foiled Stales exceeded their iin—
migralion into lliis country.

cohabitation with a native wo
man at Bllamar, was secured tin's

WORKS AN INJUSTICE TO
ISOLATED INHABITANTS!
Some time ago a ruling by the
Department of Justice made it ob
ligatory for all dealers in general
merchandise who cared to handle
patent medicine to take out a spe_ j
cia license known as the "pat-,
cut medicine vendor’s license."]
This license cos Is *50 a year, j
says the Juneau Daily Umpire. In
many small trading stations deal- !
ers do not sell *50 worth of goods
coining under this classilicalion
I in a twelve month. It happens.
I therefore, t hat in such isolated
'places, in small centers of popu
lation, dealers have quit carrying ;
I even the simplest remedies in <
'[stock, such as earholated \aso-i
j lines, salves, liniments, cold rem- ;
jcdies, etc. According to Henry;
; Moses, who recently arrived from
ttoonah. 111:111.' distresses have
.hecll endured because of the lin
I reasonable rest riel ion placed up- ,
Ion trade hv the gov erumenl. Mr.
; .Moses cited a few instances that
came under his personal obser
vation. A man at lloonah Iasi
month cut his hand very badly and
jsenl to the store for the simple
, 11 is I aid to the injured, t'mlerthe
j law nothing could he sold, hut
Mrs. Kane, who runs the store,
gave him the article required. Hut
i many of the necessities of this
nature are not to he had hecause
they are no longer carried and
because dealers cannot give them
■ away.
j Safe Opened by a Trumpet.
London. -- riie indefatigable
! Mr. Thorne Maker lias brought
ioiil vet another in.velly, a safe
1 lint can onlx be opened with i
i lining fork or a not > oil a I rum -
pel. Three of these remarkable
invent, ions have .just hem
brought to a practical issue by
Mr. Thorne Maker.
One of these safes xvill only
open when a note is sounded
three times with a tuning fork,
which is placed on a certain spot
on the safe.
Another safe can only he op
ened by blowing a loud note on
an organ pipe near the safe door.
Mr. Thorne Maker, describing the
mechanism, yesterday, said:
“Inside the safe there is a sen
sitive wire, which responds to
the note sounded by Ihe tuning
fork or the organ pipe. This
wire is connected with an electric
battery, which sets in motion (lie
mechanism of Ihe locks. There
are three locks lilted as extra
safeguards, and they are open
ed one after the other by tin*
sounding of three notes.
J “The advantages of lliis safe
jare obvious. Kxplosives are of
i ten introduced into safes lliroiigli
: the keyholes, bul these safes
j none. There is only one note to
! which Ihe interior mechanism
xvill respond, and how probable is
