I Such officials would have Jurisdiction; not over 1 per cent, but 100 per cent, of all Immigrations and from their decision from a practical point of view there would be no appeal, as is now the case from the Immigration officials of the various ports of entry to the Secretary of Labor.

lie said yesterday: "Secretary Wilson of tha Department of Labor has receatly given out a number of Interviews wherein he expresses sympathy for the Immigrants who are excluded on their arrival In this country and are deported under our Immigration' laws, and recommends as a remedy the transferring of the machinery for exclusion from the United States to foreign countries. "The percentage of exclusion varies largely with the attitude of the immigration officials, whether they are fair-minded, or prejudiced against the entire subject of immigration. This percentage has 'varied In the past five years from eleven In 1,000 to twenty-three In 1.000. During the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913, 19,938 were debarred At our porta as against the tlrelv eliminated, and. furthermore.

If an immigrant took ship contrary to the advice of such officials he would be forewarned. And, finally, by disseminating such information it would prevent intending immigrants from pulling up stakes to a much larger extent than If they had to: come before Immigration officials stationed at the ports of departure." j.

Late last night It was said at the hospital that Jenks had a good chance to recover, although- his condition is crlti-cul. Jenks said money troubles i had caused his attnmpt at suicide.

"The variation of the percentage of exclusion is based mainly upon Uie Interpretation placed upon provision in the Immigration lawB likely to become a public The interpretation of this provision depends upon, a construction, which is more or less arbitrary, made by boards of inquiry. That the exclusion and deportation of immigrants Involve a human tragedy is apparent, and that It is desirable to lt8f n. and.

Bostwick later was shown to him he said that in some wavs it reminded him of his caller. Until last October the Bostwicks lived In Ninetv-flrst Street near Central Park West and the general neighborhood of the clear store was familiar to Mr. Bost wick.

The legal battle over the Lyle chimes terday before Vice Chancellor Lewis in Jersey City, when, though the neighbors who defended the bell music outnum bered ten to one the petitioning detractors, it was agreed that the clock should not strike after 7 P. M. until Tenafly should be up and about again In the morning, and that the chimes should be silent at night save, perhaps, for a hymn or two at curfew.

The neighborhood dispute has been In progress during the absence of Mrs. Julia Gertrude Lyle, who is In Kgypt. The chimes are at the lop of a fifty-foot tower erected on the Lyle estate In Tenafly in memory of the late John S. Lvle. last member of the original Lord Taylor firm to survive.

Not long before bis death, when a man in his nine ties, he was married to nis nurse and she inherited his fortune. About the chimes there is a vast dif ference of opinion in Tenafly, several residents certifying that their music was so pleasant as to 'aid in the enjoyment of comfort, rest, and sleep, where as Mrs. Alice Bailey swore that the chimes had robbed her of comfort and peace and had impaired her digestion and nerves. She Bald that she had tried stuffing cotton into her ears, and that she had actually had to go as far as Atlantle City to get some sleep.
