subjects have indicated an intention

Numerous speeches delivered in

the 'house of commons and sundrv

interpellations of government policy

with regard to emigration have made it perfectly clear that the British

people are deeply alarmed lest the flower of their young manhood shall

be drawn to the United States, rather than to the British dominions of

Canada, Australia and New Zealand

Don't Dispute the Charges

There is no tendency among offi

cials to dispute the accuracy of the observations of Sir Auckland Geddes

concerning conditions at Ellis island.

Department of labor officials, how

ever, were quick to point out that in

making public tins report the British government has failed to recognize

the fact that America is not called upon, under existing international practice, to maintain Ellis island at all.

FORMER BROKER GETS

TWO YEARS IN JAIL

Uosie Early and let Ulan Facts

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 20.Ernest A. Knoblauch, junior mem

ber of the bankrupt brokerage firm

of Borden & Knoblauch of this city,

was today sentenced to two years in

the county prison when he entered a

nlea of nolle contendere to si charge

of passing a worthless check for

1450.000.

The check was made out to Kcan Tavlor & Co., of New York, for a

payment of a block of United States

Treasury certincates. When Knoblauch's trial was re

sumed his counsel, after a confer

ence, said he wished to withdraw the

plea of not guuty entered on the charge and enter one of nolle oon

tenderc. The sentence is to date

from the time tbe banker was com

mitted to jail last November after his firm had failed. The firm's

liabilities were announced as in x

cess of $800,000, with assets of about

$175,000.

Testifying in His own behalf, Knoblauch said he had been the victim of a blackmailing scheme, and

Ihad given approximately $35,000 to a young woman in Atlantic City.

agents who had been recognized.

Two years ago the attention of

Mrs. Willebrandt, a woman of great personal charm, was drawn to the activities of the ring. She ordered

dry agents put on the track of the leaders, and when they proved unsuccessful in trapping them, obtained

a number of department of justice

agents to take up the chase. Dodge Income Taxes

, At the same time Mrs. Willebrandt

put tax investigators on the case,

with the result that last year four were indicted for violation of the tax laws involving millions of dollars of dodged income taxes. Yet she was unsatisfied. Tbe importation of liquor was not curbed. More sleuths were put on the scent. In their chase they ranged the en

tire country east of the Mississippi

in search of evidence. Almost insur

mountable difficulties were encoun

tered, so clever and powerful were

the principals.

Arrest Leaders and Agents

J Bit by bit, however, the case was

lmilt ud under her guidance, auu

Wednesday she felt the moment had

come to strike. Agents armed with

warrants swooped down onthe prin
