EIGHT NUNS SAVED FROM DEPORTATION
Nearly a Dozen Others Waiting at Ellis Island Probably Will Come In by Same Rule
PRESIDENT REGARDS BUSINESS HEALTHY
NKW YORK, Kch. 23. Eight kumun Cut nolle linns were saved from deportation last week by the ruling of Judge Francis A. Wlhslow, of the United States District Court, when he granted them entry into tli'j states. The nuns were previously Huved deportation on a writ of habeas corpus. The decision was awaited eagerly" In church circles in Canada and the
I'nited States. The court room was crowded with priests, present to hear the pleas 0 Assemblyman Frank H. Calgano on behalf of the Catholic sisters. Since the matter has been in the courts there have arrived on Kills Island nearly a dozen additional nuns, awaiting to abide by the decision. "I'is strange they should have rome over with such a desire of awaiting the decision of the courts.

Outlook for Spring Good Sur
vey of Conditions Discloses No Disturbing Element
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Presi
dent Coolidge and his cabinet discussed business conditions recently and decided that they are good. The outlook for spring is promising. Sensational rumors and stories growing out of the oil investigation have not alarmed the people to a harmful extent. They still realize
the government is moving along on sane lines.
"At the White House after the meeting was over the president's spokesman said the discussion was on prevailing business conditions of the country, which were reported to be fairly good. That is considered a moderate statement. There does not seem to be any unemployment, and, while orders on hand in manufacturing establishments are not large, that seems to be the result of a policy not to put-In large orders for future deliveries for fear of
price changes. Everything manu
factured in the country seems to be
finding a ready market.
There are evidenecs that the building trades are going to be ac
tive the coming season. The boot and shoe industry is ac
tiy,e and ableto dispose of its products as fast as they can be made; and the textile industry in the same way is able to dispose of its products. Also iron and steel. But in these larger things there is not a great amount of stock on hand and there is a ready market. That indicates a healthy condition. If there are no great stocks it means no one is speculating.

...... -Four Ship Boif Officers ' .1 1 t ... .- e . - WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. On recommendation of Leigh C. Palmer, president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, the shipping, 'board has approved an aggregate reduction of $18,000 in the salaries of the four vice-presidents of the fleet corporation. Seven thousand dollars was cut from the pay of the two receiving $25,000, and $2,000 from the pay of the two receiving $20,000. The reductions, effective March 1, were made, it was announced, as a matter of economy. Additional salary reductions will be made, Palmer said, "but only where such reductions will leave as much pr even
more efficiency" than before. He said he had found some duplications of work and surplus personnel in the fleet corporation which should be removed as a part of the general policy to cut down expenses to meet the $14,000,000 reduction in the combined budget for the board and the corporation.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23. Dr. Charles) H. Levermore, of New York, winner i of the $50,000 Bok peace prize, addressing the Rotary Club of Chicago., declared his winning plan was more a plan of co-operation. "The terms of the competition c learly stated that what 'was wanted was the most practicable plan of co-operation," he said. "So t took the word 'practicable' as my word and built around that one word. I perceived that while peace and security was the ultimate vision the present demand was for co-operation. "There are flv big leagues of
nations now operating either in whole or in part. Two of them the United States government is really the father of the Pan-American
Union started by James G. Blaine, and the Central American Union, started by Elihu Root pretty good Republican authority in each case." The Geneva League and The Hague conferences he named as two more and gave as the fifth, "in incubation for 40 years," he said was officially named, "British commonwealth of nations." The last, he said, was functioning perfectly.

Simultaneous recognition by President Coolidge and by the directo
rate of the Aeolian company of the menace contained in attempts to
coerce employes to exert an influence along any special line in Con
gress is very welcome, says the Chi
cago Tribune. The president in
structs his secretary to condemn a
coercive letter designed improperly
to influence Congress against the
boqus. The Aeolian company dismisses the official with whom the
propaganda originated, and repudi ates his methods.
in the two actions there is a gain
for democracy as great as was the
loss threatened by the "original effort of an employer to force his em
ployes to exert partisan political
pressure regardless of their personal beliefs and sentiments. The
president's opinion that "no interest or authority has the right to mislead congress by perversion or check the
expression of honest judgment," is
sound and of vital importance.
The incident has served a good purpose by calling attention to a
real danger before It had become effective, and by emphasizing the need of constant caution against
such dangers. ' .i GRANDMOTHER. AT AGE OF 29
QUINCY, 111., Feb. 23. Mrs. ipirtin, of Pittsfleld, 111., 29 years old, claims the distinction of being the youngest grandmother in the Mississippi valley. Her daughter, Mrs. William Van Bnskirk, age 13, of
NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 23. It has taken a Russian immigrant, Benjamin Heymann, to find a "very serious flaw" in the Johnson immigration bill, which is receiving most serious consideration by the house.
Heymann has been in this country
since last September and can talk and write English with difficulty.
The flaw which Heymann pointed
out in a letter to Commissioner of
Immigration Curran has to do with
the admittance of immigrants who
are refugees from Russia. He said
that under the bill no immigrants
would be admitted in the next fiscal
year unless they were provided with
unexpired quota certificates issued
broad by American consuls. And
that the bill further provides that these certificates shall include the
alien's prison card, military records and copies of all records concerning
him by the government to which he
owes allegiance. ,
The question which Heymann then
raised was, what will happen to the
hundreds' of Russians, who have
made their way into France, Eng
land and Constantinople with the vises required uuder the present
regulations, but without the papers
which will be necessary to get quota
certificates. These Russian refugees
who have Soviet passports, would have to make a personal trip back to Russia to get other government
records and probably without sue
cess. Others have Daners given to
them by former Russian govern
ments, Heymann said. These men would have papers good under this year's ruling but not sufficient under
the Johnson bill.
inese suggestions were recom
mended to be taken up with Repre
sentative Johnson by Commissioner
Curran. The consensus of opinion
expressed by the supporters of the
bill in a general way, seems to In
encate that these suggestions are not for the betterment of the proposed
bill unless the American government
is able to devise some way of know
ing the desirability of these refugees
and after this has been decided let them enter in the quota as fixed by
tne bill.
As the plea is made, it has the appearance of attempting to flood
this country -with immigrants of
certain class in spite of any attempted restriction or selection ot immigrants. In other words. It Is a
deliberate plan, so many think, to ignore the immigration laws altogether, by playing on sympathetic public ears in the hope of winning exemption for these few thousand and then to continue with the new applicants under , the law.
CHICAGO, Feb. 23. An indict
ment of conditions in farms for the poor asylums for orphans in all
parts of the country, characterized
as "revolting and a scandal to the nation," was delivered by Secretary
of Labor James J. Davis in an ad
dress here. He said a survey being
conducted by the Department of
Labor disclosed that American
county charitable institutions are "a century behind the times," "monuments of waste" and places of
filth, cruel inhumanity and horror."
Children are born in such institu
tions, he said, "to a heritage of misery."
'Huge sums are wasted annually
in conducting,. 100 poor farms for 100 counties in one state," he said.
Concentration in the care of the
aged, orphans, or indigent would
bring happiness to these unfortunates.
"The present archaic system is as
bad aa.Jhe workhouses exposed by Charles Dickens in England years ago or worse. An overseer performing an operation fo gangrene
with a hacksaw is one of the hor-
ors thus far revealed."

ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. 23. Nearly
every farm woodlot can be improved by the removal of dead, dying and: defective trees, and some of the less
valuable kinds as well. The foresters at the State College of Agricul
ture here make this statement, and say that this work best can be done
in the winter months, when other work is slack. Winter ia also tho best season of the year at which to cut timber since those species which
sprout naturally from the stump will do so vigorously in the spring. The work of chopping and handling logs likewise is much easier in winter.
The way to go about making these i
cuttings follows: First, remove all
dead and dying trees, or those which i
are suffering from disease or insect attack. Second, remove those which are crooked and defective, or which may be hindering the growth, oj others more valuable. Of course,, it should ba kept -in mind that the stand of trees ia not opened up to such an extent that grass &nd weeds will grow where young trees, should be growing. In other words, the "crown cover"
should be kept so that about one-half
shade will be provided. Nearly all species of trees will reproduce nat
urally without special effort, and a second crop should be obtained with
out any difficulty.
In the case of failure from this source it is possible to plant young nursery trees to take the place of those cut. If there is no local market for the material removed from the wood lot.
it always is possible to convert itil
into firewood with a small portable
buss saw. Cordwood bar been commanding a good price In nearly all .parts of the couctrr this winter
