HOWE HELD REDS AT ELLIS ISLAND
NEW YORK. Nov. 29. Testimony that Frederic C. Howe, former commissioner of immigration at Ellis Island, has ordered deportations of radicals held up, although final deportation orders had been received from the Department of Labor, was given to the House immigration committee Friday by Percy A. Baker, superintendent of the island. Baker put in evidence an order he had received from Howe laet March, reading: "You will stay all deportations In these alien cases until the attorneys can be advised and until after consultation with me." Baker testified that an order of the
department to deport was final and he.
therefore, did not understand the note
from Howe and consulted him. Baker
then made this memorandum on the
copy of the order shown the com
mittee:
"Commissioner states if deportation orders are received before doing so he
should be consulted." Violation of Law.
Representative Siegel of New York,
said there was no authority in law for such staying of deportations. Howe
interrupted Bakers testimony in an
effort to give his version of the
matter but was shut off by the com
mittee, which promised him an oppor
tunity to be heard later. Failing to
obtain permission to testify earlier in the day, Howe had issued a statement
to the press, saying that he had never
released a radical without orders from
Washington.
Dudley Field Malone, then collector
of the port of New York addressed in
terned German sailors at the island
the night after war was declared.
Baker testified, and promised them that their treatment would be such
that they would have no cause for
complaint and that canteens would be provided.

Plenty of Work Lessens
Hobo Invasions, Says Chief The recent war was one of the biggest reasons for the disappearance, to a great extent of the wandering hobo, or "Wearie Willie", said Chief Gormon, Saturday. "Some of the hoboes caught the patriotic spirit and enlisted while others were drafted," said the chief. "Then during the war, with so many of our boys gone to the front there was a great scarcity for help. Many tramps obtained work during this period and have kept at it." "Now any man can get work." We have been asked to send any persons who come to our attention to various places in town, where work can be found for them. All this has tended to lessen the amount of common hoboes and tramps to a great extent, he concluded.
AUTHORITY. "Take this rubber plant Into the garden." "Mistress said I was to put It on the balcony, sir." "Do as I tell you. You will put it in the garden first. Afterward you can put it on the balcony." Boston Transcript.

Stock Market Pessimistic; Foreign Reports are Dark NEW YORK, Nov. 29 Many of the influences which contributed to the mid-November break in the stock market were again operative this week. To these were added disquieting features in the foreign financial situation and fresh disturbances in Mexico. From London and Paris come cables and other advices depicting conditions at those centers in darkest colors while diplomatic developments with Mexico assumed new and more delicate proportions. Stock transactions were comparatively moderate but the shorts continued to press their recent advantages, again attacking the high priced industries and specialties In no important case, however, excepting United States Steel did prices react to lowest levels of the past fortnight.
