GOVENMENT OFFICIALS
ACCUSED OF GRAFTING
Three Men Said To Have Realized
$400,000 From Tranaaction in
Coal During Shortage of
Last Summer
Washington, Dec. 30.?Dan W.
Sims, who was engaged by the de
partment of justice as a special
prosecutor in cases brought against
coal operators and miners in the
federal court at Indianapolis and |
who resigned after differences with
Attorney General Palmer over the
evidence to be used, has been sum
moned to appear before the senate
committee investigating the coal
situation.
The committee was to have con
tinued its hearings tomorrow, but
decision was reached today to post
pone examination of witnesses.
Chairman Calder is expected to call
an executive session, however, with
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, and Edge,
of New Jersey his republican asso
ciates. Mr. Sims will be taken into
this conference of the committee.
Further inquiry into charges that
government employees and officials,
engaged in profit taking on coal
during the shortage last summer has
been made by agents of the com
mittee. George H. Cushing, mana
ging director of the American
Wholesale Coal Association has now
furnished the committee with three
names, said to. be those of govern
ment officials, who joined in a single
coal transaction which netted $400,
000 for the participants. Two of the
three are still connected with the
government service, it was said, by
the committee representatives,
though one who was employed on a
dollar a year basis during and after
t-Vip'wnr is Tint n/vw in sprvipp.
Comparatively new in this coun
try, the Muscovy duck, native of
Russia, is fast making friends be
cause of its quackless nature.
Thed eath rate among Hawaiins
is so much greater than the birth
rate, that it is believed the race will
live only about 75 years longer.

Immigration For Year Breaks
Records Ninety Thousand in
Washington, Dec. 30.?Immigra
tion from Canada during the last
fiscal year broke all records, and
there was a tremendous increase in
immigration from Mexico as well as
from the European countries, An
thony Gaminetti, commissioner gen
eral of immigration, says in his an
nual report.
Aliens from Canada admitted .to
the country, the report says, num
bered 90,025 while aliens departing
numbered 7,666 leaving an excess
of 82,957. In addition 19,336 aliens
in Canada who applied' for admis
sion were debarred, while 5,328
were refuse^ examination, the re
port says, because of inability or
unwillingness to meet the head tax
requirement.
Admission of aliens from Mexico
totalled 52,361, while the number of
aliens going to Mexico from. the
United States numbered 6,606 leav
ing on excess of 45,755. During the
previous fiscal year the admissions
of immigrant aliens from Mexico |
numbered 29,818. * j
Europe sent a total of 246,295 j
immigrant' aliens to the United i
States in the past fiscal year, while j
256,433 emigrant aliens left the i
Unied States for Europe, causing a
decrease in alien population of 10,
138. Immigrant aliens admitted j
from Asia numbered 17,505 and I
emigrant aliens departing for Asia j I
numbered 9,441, leaving an excess |j
of 8,844. I

auguration of the immigration ser- ?
vice ,the report says, "with indica- !
tions that pre-war immigration fig
ures would be outdistanced unless jj
affected by laws of this or other J
countries." jl
"Chinese immigration," the re- |
port continues, "shows an increase
over the preceding year, the num- j
ber of admissions having risen from
3,340 coming for permanent resi- j
dence in 1919 to 4,790 in 1920, j
these figures not including aliens of
the Chinese race granted transient
privilege. Of the citizen class of
Chinese persons there were admitt
ed in all, 1181, of whom 897 werr
of native birth, 843 were born
abroad of native born parents and
141 were foreign born wives of A
merican citizens of the Chinese
race.
"Immigration from Japan to the
continent of the United States
shows an increase of 1 per cent oveT
the preceding fiscal year, while that
to Hawaii shows a decrease of 6 per
cent., the admission in figures being
12,868 to the smainland aifd 3,306
to Hawaii as against 11,404 and 3,
500, respectively, in 1919.
I
Surprise is Found
"As stated in the last annual re
port, the practice then obtaining as
? ?? nvAvit VvY?i / ?.?c o a
alleged 'brides of Japanese in this
country was not satisfactory to the
department and the result was a
new -rule which promised a solution
of the question. Contrary to this ex
pectation the number of arrivals of
such wives increased from 3,189 in
1919 to 3,8l6 in 1920. This tend
ency caused continued study of the
subject. Finally Jajan fixed by de
cree, the 29th of February of this
year, the last day upon which pass
ports would be issued to socalled
proxy brides and as the holders of
such documents had six months in
which to apply for entry, September
1, 1920, saw the end of this system.
"The granting of passports under |
the gentlemen's agreement, with the ^

exception mentioned, will continue
as heretofore by Japan. The immi
gration service finds difficulty in
meeting the situation when subjects
of Japan endeavor to impose not on
ly on the United States, but some-j
times also upon their own govern- j
ment. Japanese laborers are allow-]
ed to enter Mexico and some Cen-J
tral and South American countries I
upon presentation of passports is-1

such countries, th<s holders there of
not being entitled to admission
thereon to the United States. Not
withstanding this inhibition Japa
nese find their way into Mexico and
surrepistously or thorough smuggling
devices enter or attempt to enter
this country.
"The 'too general terms of * the
agreement itself and ex parte de
termination by officials of Japan of
matters arising under its terms have
not been conductive at all times to
the results anticipated by both
countries when the gareement was
conceived. Not only is clarification
of the agreement needed if its Win
purpose in keeping laborers from
coming to the United States is to be
effected, but systematic enforce
ment thereof by joint administra
tive efforts; should be brought about |
by both nations. Frauds against

"In the last report reference Vas
made to laws of Spain and Portugal
which permit a person, native of
either of those countries, who may
be in a foreign jurisdiction to name
by power of attorney an attorney
in fact to represent such persons in
a marriage ceremony to b^ consum
mated in the home country in the
absence of the bride or bridegroom
as the case may be. Proceeding have
arisen where an alleged bride had
made application iov admission to

experience on the Pacific coast is
about to cease it is possible to have
it continued on the Atlantic side
with the probable addition of a
'proxy bridegroom' attachment."
