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. The police
were notified of the loss of flfb passa
ports belonging to the lwo Anr cn'us,
but they were not recovered.

BILL TO PREVENT
SALE OF BEER PASSE)
Illis-Ca0hllpbell Hill is Passed by
House by Vote of 250 to 9:3.
'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.

Columbia, June 22.-Due to reports

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
