CUBAN SMUGGLERS OF EMIGRANTS'
CONTINUE TO FINO MANY VICTIMS!
many Cubans are officially in thi
United States, but really in Cuba
Is being determined by the secre
police in an investigation into thi
numerous methods developed here ro
cently to evade Uimle Sam s immi
gratiion laws.
The return to Cuban ports b]
American immigration authorities o'
scores of Poles and other Kuropeans
who have -masqueraded as Cubans
has resulted in the assignment ol
Inspector Donato Cubas to ferret onl
clandestine passport agents. His re
ports, eent first to the Department
Of the Interior, later were referred
to the State Department, and finally
to the Department of Justice, which
to»m Just issued orders that 50 or
■norA cases <* frsM he expedited as
much m possible so that a few con
t -
■ j old world refugees wiio are over
. anxious to enter Hie promised land.
According to Inspector Cuba* the
• practice ot contraband runners of en
gaging to land a cargo of immigrants
on the American toast, and then
j dumping them on some desolate Cu
S ban beach after robbing them of all
but their clothes, has forced every
body but tile Chinese to abandon
that route. The supply of young
Americans who for a consideration,
are willing to marry foreign women
j of appropriate age and accompany
j thant as far as Key West or New (
i York, also has become exhausted, al- i
though it is believed that a few may I
become available when the' racing
season ends.
Stoppage ot these routes, accord- 1
lng to the inspeotor, has resulted In
tile development of the following li
genious scheme: The passport craol
after securing a retainer from hi
client, looks about for a Cuban wit
has no Intention of traveling, bu
who looks like the immigrant. If po:
slble this Cuban is Induced, for
consideration, to secure a birth cei
tificaite if he has none, and to appi;
for a citizenship certificate, whicl
will permit him to enter tile Unitei
States.
Once the certificate 1s secured t
photograph of the immigrant is sub
vtituted for that oif the Cuban, ani
the former is ready to run the gaunt
et of the American immigration of
tlce. Those who do not take the pre
iautiion of learning Spanish, however
ienerally are out of luck, unless they
»ave picked up enough English to
jass some unsuspecting, non-Spantsh
►peaking Inspector. Whatever hap

—
WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 6.— j
Provident Harding has invited all
nations to send official representa
tives to the World's Dairy Congress,
which will meet in Washington
from October 2 to 5. Its object will
be to get together and exchange the
information gained by tlie latest re
search into the Influence of milk
and milk prodirt.es on national
health, into means of reducing the
costs of production and distribution
while improving the quality of dairy
products, into the International econ
! omic principles bearing on the dairy
industry and methods of sanitary
' control.
The meeting will have its finger j
t in every American’s pie; because $J
out of every $5 spent for food in
(his country goes for milk, butter,
■heesc, or some other dairy product.
'The money caused to circulate ini
, America annually by the cow is1
i equal in amount .to more than a
i third and perhaps nearly a half of |
; >ur European war loans. The De-I
partment of Agriculture and the
j Census Bureau figure the United i
States has around 33,000,000 dairy j
I cattle and that their products on,
I the farms have a value annually of |

estimated that from the time the

ANOTHER COLONY
OF FINNS WILL
GO TO GEORGIA
JESUP, Ga.. March 6.—The success
of a colony of Finlanders established
at Falrfiold, 16 miles from here.]
about a year ago, has resulted In the
completion of plans to bring another
; colony to this section at once, it has
just been learned. The Finns will
. be located on a 6,000 acre tract on
the Jesup Jacksonville . road. The
first colony was started by W. J.
Mattson of Gardiner, Mass.
Dutirying and .farming are the prin
cipal occupations of the new settlers
and they have built up an industrious
and prosperous community, it is
stated.
Each of the settlors is assigned to
a 200-acro tract of land. They open
| accounts for food, supplies and other
| necessities and when the crops are
! harvested the farmers p«al ‘their
i grain and products, which are sold
through a cooperative marketing
; plan. At the end of tho year when
i accounts are balanced, tho Finns, as
i stockholders, draw dividends. Cotton,
i sweet potatoes and tobacco are the
principal crops handled.
As an example of what can bo
done it is stated that the Finns have
even made a profit from clearing the
land of stumps and waste, tho sale
of tho wood to a fuol concern in
Brunswick more than paying for tho
work of Clearing t.ha land.
Frederick the Great Was
Believer in Free Press
BERLIN, March b.—Frederick tho
Groat first took censorship off Berlin
newspapers in 1740, and the Berlin
press recently commemorated tho
anniversary of that event by print
ing Frederick s order, which marked
a new epoch in German newspaper
making. The order, given out over
the name of Count Podewils, reads
as follows:
“The journalists . of the Berlin
newspapers shall have unlimited lib
erty to write whatever they like,
without censorship, in articles con
cerning what happens here at pres
ent. this Majesty aays these articles
amuse him. But, on the other hand,
foreign ministers should not com
plain if they find articles now and
then in local papers which do not
please them. I took the liberty to
hint that the Russian court is very
sharp about iich things. His Ma
jjeety answered that journals must
i not be constrained if they are to be
] inherent ins."

Support of Stage Is
Costly to Austrians!
VIENNA, March 6.—The financial
support given by Austria to the
national theatre and the national
opera adds so measurably to the
otate's deficit, that two methods of
possibly stopping these losses are be
ing considered. One is to lease the
theatres, and the other is to reform
them.
Each lias its opponents. Present
day actors and employes claim to be
indifferent, but assert, nevertheless,
that reform is impossible because
the present system is not unpopular
with" certain bureau chiefs in auth-j
oril.y. The idea of leasing does not
disturb the actors, for one man's!
money is as good as another's to!
them.
But the numerous theatrical pen
sioners who are now living on the
state are loud in their opposition to
any change; the lessees might not
guaranleee the continuance of their
stipends.
*The government department for,
the administration of the theatre'
and the opera numbers 51 persons.
The theatre employees number 260
on the stage and 256 behind the
curtain, while the opera has 600
persons on the stage, supported by
257 behind the scenes. These salary
lists, in addition to the amount paid
out in pensions, caused a deficit last
year of 15 billion crowns in paper
' money.
