BRITISH EMBASSY THINKING Special to The Indianapolis IVaws. WASHINGTON, November Lynchehaun will not be deported by the Commissioner of Immigration. This an nouncement was made at the Department of Commerce and Labor to-day.

The statement given' out at the office of the Commissioner of Immigration Is as fol lows: "This offloe not follow the Lynchehaun case further. We endeavored to trace his landing. Our Investigation did not cover any port except New York, as It Is admitted that he entered there. He came in under an assumed name, and ws are not able to connect him with the name he gave." While the bureau will not admit as much. It Is understood that Lynchehaun gave the name of James Lynch.

That name, it is understood, occurs several times on the Immigration Bureau register, and the Inspectors reported It would be impossible, to get proof connecting Lynchehaun with it. The decision of the Bureau of Immigration has gone up to Secretary Cortelyou, and will doubtless be approved by him. The British embassy said to-day that It could not speak ot any other plans It might have. It Is not Improbable that the embassy will Insist that Lynchehaun be rearrested on a warrant sworn out before some United States Judge. The State Department says It is purely a legal question -with which It has nothing to do at this state of the proceedings.

SURGICAL OPERATION PERFORM-ED ON HIS MAJESTY. HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO TALK BERLIN. November 9. A polypus was removed from Etrperor William's larynx Saturday by Prof. Moiits Schmidt.

The bulletin announcing the surgical operation caused, much astonishment, even among court officials, who had no suspicion that his majesty was suffering from any affection of the throat. The Emperor himself appears not to have known of the growth In his larynx until a few days ago, and to nave suffered no discomfort from it. The only Inconvenience suffered by his majesty is that he has been enjoined not to speak until the wound caused by the operation has been healed. The general health of the Emperor is excellent. He will continue to receive visitors on official business.

The growth In the larynx at once suggested that the Emperor might be suf fering from something worse than a slm pie polypus, but Professors von Lent hold. Schmidt and Orth made the most positive personal declarations that the affection was merely a "good-natured polypus, which is not likely to return or to do jonowea oy any evil enects.

His temperature and pulse are normal. The court circular states that the Em peror this morning personally heard the report of Herr von Lucanus, chief of tna civil cabinet.

No Cause for Concern. Prof. BernaivA Fraenkel, the eminent throat' specialist' of the Berlin University, In an interview to-day said: "The concern about the Em peror" condition is unwarranted. The facts are absolutely as stated in this morning's bulletin. The people are only agitated because they remember that the first reports about Emperor Frederick did not disclose his true malady, but this time the bulletin is correct.

You can re assure America." ROYAL HOUSEHOLD WORRIED. Cancer; Is a Common Disease in the Emperor's' Family. NEW YORK, November Information contained in private dispatches received here shows that the operation on Emperor William is similar to the first operation performed on his father, and consequently causes concern to his The offi cial statement Issued by the surgeon fails to reassure, because It Is well understood that for reasons of state the benefit of any doubt as to the true character of. his disease would be given the Emperor. It Is recalled that the surgeons at that time made nothing of the first operation on Emperor Frederick.

There Is anxiety because both Emperor William's father and mother died of cancer, and his grandmother Ausrusta also was so afflicted. The Emperor's aunt, the Grand Duchess of Baden, is suaering xrom ma same malady. it will take months to decide whether the fears now entertained are unfounded. At present the whole weight of scientific authority, which is In attends nee upon the Emperor, affirms that he has not can cer. HUNG BY HIS FOOT FROM FORK OF AN APPLE TREE.

November children's reformatories of Indiana, are merely the common schools from which criminals are graduated into the adult reformatory at Jeffersonville and the Michigan City penitentiary." was the statement made by Deputy State Factory Inspector Harve Richards here. Continuing, he said: "My observation has shown me that about S3 per of the criminals in the Jeffersonville Reformatory for young men were at one time or another In a boys reformatory. It is evident, then, that these reformatories for children do not reform. I should not want an Incorrigible child of mine In one of them If I expected him to reform. "I have found superintendents of the departments in the boys' reform schools who were willing to say that these are schools for the education, of criminals' In crime, and that they turn out more hardened criminals than even the officers are aware of.

I believe a compilation of statistics along this line might' be a valuable addition to the history of criminology." Mr. Richards, in his official duties, comes ia contact with large numbers of criminals and with children who have, perhaps, started on a criminal life.
