' (Br Auqcwted Preu) ' "? ". NEW YORK. Dec. Some of the defect of Ellis s Island, and seven recommendations which S. the ' congressional committee will v make to the house for a "tightening up" of lmxniy rratlon regulations throughout . the ,UnHed States particularly as they apply to anarchists, Bolshevists ' and ; other ultra, .radicals,' were ' indicated - here today.by officials of the United : ftates ' Immigration Station, and by 1 Representative Isaac SiegeC a mem- ' her of the committee.' which has been , Investigating this port of ; entry. I ;; These recommendations, according to Mr. Siegel. will include (t) NaturalIgatlon courts in large cities; (2) a t method of requiring all young Americans to take : the ; oath , of allegiance J, upon reaching 21 years; (3) abolition .of the. office of Commissioner eneral , of Immigration; (4) , appointment ;of van assistant secretary of the Departanient of Labor to supervise all immigratlon affairs;- (5) mandatory legisla- ; tion providing for. more rigid Inspection - at Ellis Island where 80 per cent of . the Incoming ' tliens arrive; ; 16) military immigration, patrol on rthe Canadin nd Mexicn borders; (7) 0 more drastic penalty for ship owners v wbot permit alien members of crews .'to deserts --' "You can't tell a Red by looking at r him.' declared one of the Ellis Island officials.' fYou-can't catch '"a Red by cross-examining, him. They are far too wily and 'shrewd.' It 'Is only after they; have .been in , this country for a ? sufficient length of time that you discover their pernicious beliefs, and when you do, no time should be lost . iln deporting them. No examination, prior to entry, can give the protection Intended by the law. It Js necessarily perfunctory an' Ineligible aliens fare bound to slip through because of f'-our wrong methods.". ' New York has the biggest Immigration station, in the country, he said, ''the others being at Boston, Baltimore. . Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Franv sisco and Seattle, Wash. Norfolk, Va., and I Galveston, Texas, v are ports of G entry with inspection officers but are " not classed as "stations" like Ellis Is1 land and the rest. It is comparatively easy to shut out the mentally and physically defective when they come in at ', these big ports, said Congressman Siegel. but the big problem Is to prevent the entrance of undersirable alliens, over our northern and south- ; ern borders. "' Boundaries Cause Trouble. ' " "Inadequate as our Immigration mecblnery may be in New York and other ' large ports,' said the congressman, "it Is much more effective than tbo machinery we have along the Internat- ; lonal -boundary lies of Canada and , Mexico. We have no means of knowlng how many men and women, hos- : tile to American institutions and democratic government, have surreptitiously entered the United States. Still another means of illegal ingress , baa been tor Reds to ship as sailors and desert upon reaching this coun- : try. Under our present law the ship , owners-can be penalised by -a $10 'fine only We propose making the penalty , jnore- stringent." - . , . ' The . house committee, Mr. Siegel said, will recommend the establishxnent of - the Naturalization court, so that Federal and other judge?, whose time Is1 taken up with : hearing nundreds of civil and criminal cases, may be relieved of -a task of immenso ira-s-portance to" "the country's welfare, but which, by the very nature of ; things at present, is generally slighted from sheer judicial necessity. Last year, Mr. Siegel said, the government realised a net profit from naturalization fees ol $450,090 and the profit to date since the beginning of . the immigration service has been $10,000,000. Such a court, it was said, could expedite hearings and "undesirables, instead of being released on i their own recognizance or paroled in ; the custody of their lawyers, could be deported within thirty days.

' .- : . One Judge, said the congressman, his mind preoccupied with other cares.

recently had a lot of naturalization'

cases before' him. The crowd in the courtroom represented several nationalities. ; Soon a bailiff shouted: "All

you csecne-siovaks noid- up your hands!" Up went the hands of about a dozen. The Judge, thinking of other

pressing matters, soberly remarked;

"Gentlemen of the Jury!" but quickly

recovered himself and administered

the oath of citizenship. Here was a ceremony which should have been

atended with great care and solemnity turned, almost into a vaudeville show. A ' Naturalization court, presided

over by federal judges similar to the circuit court' of appeals, and where It would-not be. known-who was to ad

minister the oath of allegiance, declare ed Mr. Siegel, would lend dignity and force to one of the most sacred obligations , Imposed upon the alien, -and start , him right on . the Toad to patriotism and good citizenship.

No End of World Bat Beautiful Sky-Sight,

Early Tomorrow Morn Tonight's the night. Have you your

ascension robes ready? For early Wednesday, Dec. 17, Is the time set by scaremongers for the sun to be torn. apart by the combined pull of the planets, and for tidal waves and

earthquakes to overwhelm the earth. A man in, a Chicago hotel lobby dropped to' his knees, and began praying when be read that a French scientist, had declared .the world would come to an end Dec. 17. Five hundred university students at San Juan,. Porto Rico, aroused by he same report,, demanded a recess in order to be with their families on the fatal date.. A good excuse for a holiday, at least. ' Oklahoma Indians, hearing reports of an epd .to the world Dec, 17, are beating tom-toms at night and chanting weird songs In an effort to avert the calamity which is to come with "much cold." Even in Richmond, tales are related of a girl In a local store, who asked her manager is she might be off on that, day, . as ''she wanted to be at home when -the end came." And of another. girl, who bought a Bible, an extravagance of which she never before had been guilty. The day , is groins to pass without any untoward events, say reputable scientists, Including Dr. Hole of Earlham, but those who car to get up early Wednesday mornlnp, will see a sight, which has not been seen by human eyes for 2,000 years, and will not occur .flgatn for another 2.000 the moon, ,5 planets, and the brieht star Areturtis, flung In a stately line across the eastern heavens.

30 GENTS A POUND, t IS PRICE PREDICTED : ' FOR SUGAR IN CITY ?. Granulated cane sugar will reach 30 cents a pound within the next 45 days 'believe two Richmond grocers, they

eaid Tuesday, when questioned about j the present price, 2 3. cents a pound, j , These grocers say they pay a frac-; tion over 21 cents a pound and that, 'the only evidence of profiteering dis-; ; cernlble Is the 18 cent a pound paid to - southern planters for sugar cane. The , local retail price for beet sugar is 15 j cents' a pound. A -canvass reveals that only two. of '.Richmond's groceries are handling ! cane sugar and for this reason most of them only have limited supplies, j One dealer blamed the whole sugar! situation upon politics. He said that 1 Democratic officials allowed' southern i 'planters' 18 cents a pound ..for cane :

and that Eastern refiners; had to be content with 10 cenf. . The eastern dealers retaliated by withholding shipments of beet sugar to retail markets, save In small quantities, while the cane sugar dealers will allow . the producer any amount desired it the required price is paid. . In Indianapolis, Dayton, Cincinnati and Hamilton, the cane sugar Is bringing, as high as 27 cents, they said. ; This bears out the statement that 'sugar would reach 30 cents soon. The McNary bill, was passed by the ; United States senate a few days ago and which provides for .continued government control and distribution of sugar is expected by some grocers to . force a show-down in the fight. Others believe, that a hot fight would result before the refiners would be content with the old 9 cent price. "The government is to blame for the high price, for if the southern planters were made to accept the same price accorded to eastern refiners, cane sugar would be on a par with the beet product, says a well known re-taller.
