ITALIANS FLOCK HERE IN DROVES Number of immigrants Will Be Limited by the Capaolty of Liners. STRICT CONTROL/ IN ITALY -Thieses at Naples Get High Pricou for American Passports-Keen Competition for Fortign Ships -Maintain Cloe6 Inspection. Naples.-The number of imWgrants to the United States this year will only be limited by the capacity of the steamships, according to Unittd States Consul Homer W. Boyington, who has been here for 15 years and has a good knowledge of the situation. The Ital Ian companies lost a good many steamships during the war and have not yet been able to replace them, while the foreign vessels calling at Naples nad Genoa for immigrants have dwinaled since the war to an al most iegligibtie number. bhe consul said that the Italian gov ernment had consented- to pernit sur geons In the United States public health service to be present at the in spection of the immigrants before en barkation, so that they will be able to sign the bills of health and stop the detention of the steamshi s Oil their arrival at the quarantine station in New York. There have only been two cases of typhus in this port and they were Greeks from Piraeus. In consequence of this the government has put a tight ring around Italy and no alien immigrants are permitted to pass the frontier. The steamships leaving Italian ports for the United States now only carry Italians, and Poles, Czechs, Croats, Greeks, Ukran lans, Roumanians and other nationall ties will have to sail from some oth er ports like Danzig, Bremen or Iam burg. The staff at the consulate consists of 25 clerks, stenographers and inter preters, etc., who are chiefly employed in handling the hundreds of immi. grants who throng the bureau on the Via Santa Lucia all day long. Wom en with babies In their arms have precedence over all other applicants by orders of the consul. Under nor mat conditions the immigrants get away within three months of the date of their vises on the passports, but on account of the holding up of the liners in New York through the typhus scare, they are now fully six months behind, according to the officials. Passports Closely Scrutinized. The greatest care is exercised at the consulate to see that no more get by with false passports or counter feit vises. The immigration authori ties are also notifled at New York to look out for tpe private marks on the passports, which will be changed from time to time in case they get known to the Italian crooks who'are making a fat living by fabricating passports and vises for immigrants who may have some charges against their char acter which would prevent their ob taining a vise on their passports at the Americbn consulate. Two Americans wvho arrived from New york hy the Canopic had their passp6rts stolen and had to proceed to RIome to obtain emergency papers at the United States legation after getting Identification certificates at the consulate hero. These stolen pass ports, the officials say, are sent to A-n cona or to Cosezn, which is near Napies, and the seals and vises are tqken off and used for other passports. A \vell-executed false passport is worth 1,400 lire, about $50 to $0 Unitetl States currency, according tp the rate of exchange, which fluctuates daily. At the consulfite it was said that these two-stolen lpfssports wvoid net the pickpockets who took them about 1,000 lire. Pnssengers are wvarnedl 0n land1ing in the custom house ,to-be careful of thiutr pocket books and pnssports, as the Neapolitan purse RnatchbezR are famous in police circles all over Europe for, the dex terity of their fingers.

IWashin'gton, June 2.-Passage of the tarilff bill -by the house before Ju'ly 20 was predicts today by Representa tive Mondell, Republican house leader, 'who conferred with President Harding, and by Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee.

'Washington, June 27.--By a vote of 250 to 93 the .House tonight passed the Willis-Canmpybell bill to prevent the sale of beer to the sick, and sent It to the Senate with expectation of its ,inal enactment before the end of the week. The vote, which was 21 more than the necessary two-thirds, was taken after four -hours of stormy debate, in terrupted frequently 'with shouts to stop the talk and pass the bill. De spite the sweltering weather, however, leaders in the flght for and against the measure refused to yield to an ev er-growing demand for an end of the discussion. In closing the debates for the op ponents, Representative Hill, Repub lican, Maryland, threw the House Into considerable disorder by charging that Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon lea-gue, had drafted the 'bill. Pointing to the league law yer in the gallery and calling him by naaie, Mr. 1111 brought a wild shout from the prohibition element, some of whon stood until quiet was restored. There was an outburst a moment later when Representative Foster, Re publican, Ohio, declared there was no truth In the statement about Wheeler's part in the preparation of the measure. A sharp attack on the rules com mittee for tailing to give right of way to the Volstead supplemental bill was made by Representative Revis, Republican, Nebraska, a member of the judilclary committee, who chargedi that its work of three weeks had been stifled. .\r. Reaves declared it was a menace to orderly legislation when -half a dozen members of the rules comimittee cold niullify the action of another commit tee in reporting a b)ill of national impiortance. Chairman N~amilhellI, deofendinlg tihe comn. t tee, said( it was hunwilling to mix emergen cy legislation with controversial mat teris w hich shoul d be fullI y aired. In the mid1(st of a iplea for Passage of the bill Representa'.Ive harkley, Democrat, Kentucky, 'was interru pted by Rep:resentative Gilbhert, also D~emo crat and of the same state, who asked: "'Since we are both from Kentucky, I woumld lIIke to know if you wVould( niot rather see a Kentucky colonel dr minkinug I 00 Per cent Iliqulor thani a liot-bel liedl German drinking a keg of ,beer?" Alir. Parkley repilied that if he had to look upon01 one of the two evils lhe preferred to see the colonel at the 'bar. Rteprestnative ' ooper, Republican, Ohio, formerly a rail roadl engineer, took issue with t'he American Feder ation of Laabor in standing for light beer and wino, declaring it had no rIght to make the organization speak on moral questions, lie insiated that the federation "did not express the sentiment of the working mian." RepreI'Sentative Cockran, D~emocrat, New York, declared prohIbition or any other law could not be enforced mwhon Public sentiment against it. iWarning the lilouse against the con stant spread of law breakIng since en actment of dIrastic prohibition laws, Representative Kahn, Rtepublliean, Cal ifornia, turnIng sharply upon adlvo cates of the anti..beer bill, delCaredl, "There are mom'bers here who vote for lprohibition and who driuk more liquor in a week than I (10 in a year.' Mr. Kahn asserted tihe Volsteadl law was 'lbeing broken every hour of the day and that congress ought to handle the prohlemi in a rational way. J. C. J#URNS A CO0. ARE SEL1LING THE 00O1DS IN LAU.

Columbia, June 22.-Due to reports reaching his olice of 'I)ersons dynamit ing the creeks and ponds In dilderent sections of the state in order to get lslh', this being strictly against the law, Chief Game 'Warden Richardson has instructed all game wardens in the state to visit places where dyna mite is sold and see if the proper records are kept as required by law. Section 491 of the code of 1912 pro vides of this nature may 'be sold un less the seller knows that it Is not to be used for killing fish nd provides for records to 'be kept of any such sales, "I have Instructed all the game 'war dens to visit all the hardware storen and concerns or 'places that handle - pnamite and to see that proper ree ords are kept, in accordance with this -provision of the law and if they find (lynamIte being sold except as provided for in this section, to make -'ases against the party or firm violating the I The Big We Are Off< Alwa3 36-inch Pajama ity, worth 25c, Ji 15c 36-inch good qu July Special only 10c 27-inch Dress G . 15c 27-inch Apron ( ity, only 10< 1 lot all Silk Pc ceived, worth $4 cial only 1 lot all Silk Ge< $5.00 and $6.00 81 by 90 Belx quatity, July Spe 81 -inch Bleache< cial, only 72 by 90 Ripc worth $3.00, onl: sw) L AURERNS laW." Chief iWarden Richardson sauid yesterday. ".By an inspect~ion of the records re quired to bo kept by dealers in dyna mite, game wardens can ascertain who have been purchasing the explosive, and thereby put thems'lves in a better 'position to keel) a watch on the parties using dynamite and enforce the laws prohibiting the use of dynamite for killing fish. 'Since the war a great many dealers in dynamite are evident ly under the inpression that the rec ords of sales of dynamite as required .by .Section 491 are no longer required. Such impression is erroneous; the law is plain; the records must be kept," the chief warden said. Mr. Richardson is of the opinion that the wardens over the state are, in most instances, doing all -they can to put a stop to any such pract4ces. In addition to the law prohibiting the use of explosives for killing lish, Section 491 is as follows: "Section 491: No 'person shall sell, deliver or dispose of dynamite or other powerful explosives, except ordinary gun-powder, unless such person knows the purchaser or the party to receive the same, and Is satisfied that the ex Demand. n Wi --=We ,ring Special Val rs Get.
