IDENTIFICATION C ARDS TO HE
IfUED TO ALIENS AUTHORIZED
TO ENTER
A new policy of providing ail
aliens authorized to enter the United
fa'Os. except those who come solely
f'-w the purpose of study, with idea
<;hcation cards to be issued by the.
American consuls, at their ports of
departure, has been adopted by the
Bureau of Immigration, Depart
ment of Labor. Tt became effective
Ju ly 1st.
'I he order prepared bv George J.
[lands, acting Commisioner of In;
lr’gration, was approved by W. W
.-husband, acting Secretary of Labor,
.m! was made public June 15.
The identification cards will con
:i’n the name and inscription of the
mmigrant and will bear his photo
maph firmly attached. Similar
ards have been issued heretofore
•l ’y to Chinese. Extension of the
ys'em to immigrants in general .s
xpected not only to protect the im
idgrant after his arrival but to fa
i'itate the work of the immigra
ion Bureau.
The immigration identification
ard, fills a long felt want,” said Mr
lands in an oral statement explain
hg the order. “As its name, indif
3tes, it affords an immigrant admir
ed to the United States a conven
ed and immediate means of ideni
>dng himself as an immigrant alien
^ admitted.
“For many years aliens arriving
and admitted to the Fluted States
were not issued anything hv the im
migration Service in the way of
id^nt tying documents. About Id
years ago. the Immigration Servie
adopted an engraved certificate for
F>e use of the Chinese admitted,
particularly those of the so-called
immigrant class.
‘The trafficking in these certi
ficates and other abuses which ha 1
lorn predicted in some quarters
failed to materialize. In fact, the
system proved a thorough success.
'Later on. immigration identi
fication cards were adopted for the
urc of aliens residing in cities and
towns on either side of our interna
tional borders and territory con
Canons thereto.
LOST THREE THOUSAND ROE
FiARS—REWARD
\gent Jones: “I don’t understand,
Arr Brown, that wife of yours re
cently lost $3,000. If 1 hand it back
to her, would you feel like paying a
small reward?’'
Air. Brown: “You must be mis
taken, Air. Jones my wife didn’t los *
any such sum. Don't you suppose 1
would *kntnv about it if she had?”
Agent Jones: “I had in mind that
policy you allowed to lapse some
time a;R° That means a real loss of
Imnl cash to your wife, and you can
b: sure she will realize the loss if
voi: let her find that lapsed policy
among your papers. The reward I
mentioned is only the premium nec
essary to secure reinstatement.”
Mr. Brown: “Jones, Old Boy.
you have made me think. I havs
|w-( n a blankety blank chump. Her '
is Hie reward—fix it up for me is
s- n as you can and thanks.”
FORFEITURES
It used to be that when the feder
al officers secured a conviction under
the Volstead Act, they proceeded
confiscate the vehicle under the cus
toms act (sec. 3450 R. S.).
The advantage was in the fact that
innocent owners could not plead
tl eir ignorance and claim their lien
under ihe customs act whereas they
could under the Volstead Act.
The Supreme Court has decided
Mid if the Government elects m
prosecute under the Volstead Ac‘,
they must stick with the Act ad
through. This gives innocent third
parties a chance
