foreman on our earth era reservoirs at Potrero del. Llano, was riding from the office to a tank farm, a distance
of about 25 meters.
"On the road was an outpost of four
government soldiers with a machine gun.: As far as we have been able to ascertain Wallace's horse reared while passing this outpost, and kicked the . machine gun, whereupon one of the soldiers , shot Wallace, killing him instantly. "None of our men actually saw what happened. Certain of them had been talking to Wallace a minute or two before, and hearing the shot, they ran out of the office and found Wallace . lying on the ground dead." Soda Fountains Worked fltimriiinm in CciA RnpH
Richmond soda fountains are enjoying record breaking winter sales of soft drinks, but the sale ot Ice cream Is not much above the average of two years ago., It was thought that prohibition would have a far reaching effect on the sale ot ice cream. It did cause unprecedented sales during the summer months but "Old Man Winter" has brought the sale back to normal. However, "cokes" and milkshakes are gaining in popularity. One fountain
owner says that his sales tor tnese drinks are just as large now as they were in the sweltering months of July and. August. It has become a habit with a large number of men and women too, to tart the day with either a "coke" or milkshake. A great number of e T"a'r a meal on an egg-choco-malted-milk.

Makers of "pop" are all espousing the cause of prohibition, for since the day that "Old John Barleycorn" received his death knell, their business has mounted by leaps and bounds. The
three manufacturers of "pop" in Rich
mond say that their business has at least tripled since ' that memorable day.
Bottles of the size capable of holding a pint of "Klckless beer" have become a scarce article in Richmond. Junk dealers are doing a thriving
business for every day they receive
applications for the sale of several
dozens of these bottles. One large
dealer la of the opinion that beer
bottles are one of the hardest worked
commodities In Richmond. He fur
ther added that "home-brewers" are the cause tor this great demand for
bottles.

HEAVY IMMIGRATION BELIEVED TEMPORARY
BY OFFICIALS; NEXT YEAR TO BE NORMAL
Federal Workers Oppose
Wilson's Recommendations
(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Dec, 30 Opposite Son to recommendations of the President's industrial conference was expressed by Luther C. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Employes, which he said was assisting to rebuild the government
machinery on a business-like basis and expected their treatment, not ''oppressive measures" In return. "Our right to officiate with our fellow workers we regard as an essential principal to human freedom, and we cherish It accordingly" Mr. Steward continued. "It would be well to con- . elder, first that any proposal to sever the connection of government workers with the American Federation of Labor, would be the cause of an overturn of three-fourths of the personnel of the government service. Mr. Steward said the federation's constitution prohibited strikes by its members .
(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 80. Heavy immigration which has taxed the facilities of Ellis Island and delayed unloading of steamships at this port, is only temporary and presages no great Influx of foreigners that will affect the labor market of the United States,
In the opinion of immigration authorities here. They estimated today that the next year's Immigration through New York will be only 300.000, as compared with pre-war figures of
800,000 to 1,000,000 annually. Few of the thousands of passengers arriving here daily from abroad are coming to this country unless they have been here before, or unless they
have relatives here. Probably 80 per
cent of the recent arrivals are reserv-
ists, mostly Italian, who left the Unit
ed States to fight for their native land.
Many of them are American citizens, about whose admission there is no question. .The balance of the arrivals 1b composed largely of fathers, mothers, wives and children of men, Poles and Czecho-Slovaks, who immigrated prior to the war and are now well established. The arrivals include a large representation of native-born Americans who have been unable to reach these shores earlier, because of war conditions. Some of them are from Germany. As evidence of this is the fact that many arrivals have steamship tickets sold to them abroad four of five years ago. Of Highest Character. The character of the present influx Is considered by Representative Isaac Siegel, a member of the house immigration committee, as higher than ever before. Many of the arrivals have thousands of dollars, representing In some cases the conversion of property in their native land or the residue of prosperous mercantile or manufacturing business damaged or destroyed by war. The monetary requirement for admission is $25 and before the war thousands of immigrants had little or no more Man the minimum. With the exception of fathers and mother of residents of the United

relatives of residents have about one chance in 1,000 of Immigrating at
present. Stowaways Inerease.
This condition has resulted In an ab
normal number of stowaways in ships
bound for New York. In one recent week the unprecedented number of fifty was caught and deported. Be
sides stowing away the only other
method a lone foreigner, unrelated in
this country, can Immigrate is to ship as a sailor on a vessel bound for New York and desert when the vessel
makes port. It is in this way, Mr.
Slegel believes that Bolshevikl and other reds are now coming to this
country, if at all. The only redress for the government in such a case la to fine the steamship company S10, but some other steps that will tend to
stop the practice are contemplated by the House Immigration committee. The activity of Ellis Island compared with idleness at other Atlantio coast immigration stations is attributed to the fact that most of he pos-war allocaions of shipping were to this port. If the local activity should continue contrary to expectations. It is believed that further deportations of anarchists will be from other ports than New York. About 27,000 immigrants came here in November and the December figure was far in excess of that, but this is believed to be due to the desire of many to spend Christmas or New Year's in the United States. The physical facilities of Ellis Island are considered adequate for any immigration, even beyond the estimated 300,000 for next year. In the opinion of Mr. Slegel, the present situation at the Island is due to the fact that the Department of Labor fruloughed 56 employes a the Island on Nov. 1,' retarding greatly the process of examining aliens.
