‘ This drive is being spoken of by
its opponents as a "man hunt" and
such will be the nature of it. Many
men and women who have been in
"America for long periods will be
hunted out and ordered back to the
shountri‘ from which they came, as.
[burning that the country of origin
will take them. If the foreign
Country will not take them? Well.
the immigration ofliclais don‘t know
then what will be done. ‘
The chief explanation for this
~rnan hunt is that many aliens who.
technically. should never have been
.allowed in the country are now pub-
.llo charges in various city and state
institutions. Connecticut has hun-
dreds and hundreds of such aliens
-in its institutions. all of whose rec-
mords .will get a very fine combing.
Many in Institutions
Each of the 35 immigration dis-
tricts in this country is at work
making a. survey of the number of
deportabie aliens there are. especial-
ly in public institutions. according
to Jimmy E. Hull, Commissioner
q General of Immigration. This is
I" part of the program of the Depart-
merit of Labor to speed up the dc~
poriation of alien undesirables and
criminals before July 1.
It is estimated that thousands of
~{immigrants have come into the
United States recently without. be-
ing registered, properly inspected
and without paying the head tax.
More than 600 warrants of deport—
ation were issued last week by the
Bureau of Immigration. Most of
these were. for persons smuggled in-
to the country within the last few
years. Before an alien can be de-
ported. the bureau must get a pass..
art for him from the country of
which he is a. citizen.
. The immigration law distinguishes
between various groups of aliens.
Those at. time of entry members
of one or more of classes excluded
by law. or who have entered in
violation of law can be deported
within five years. Aliens entering
without inspection, or who may be-
come public charges. or who are
seamen illegally in the United States
. 'can be deported within three year.-
f Those Dcportable
E . The following classes can be de-
ported irrespective of time of entry:
Alien after entering found advo-
cating or teaching unlawful destruc-
tion of property: advocating or
teaching anarchy or overthrow by
force 0:- violence of Government of
‘ United States or all form of law, or
assassination of public officials.

1. 1917. more than once to a term

occasions, such as arrival and de-
parturepand at official entertain-
ments that may be given to them

“New Haven” Spent
Too Much On Engines
3.—(AP).
WASHINGTON. April
Unreasonable expenditures for
maintainance of locomotives were
declared today by the interstate
Commerce Commission to have been
incurred by the N. Y. N. H. 8; H. R.
R. In 1922. 23. and 24.
As a part of its inquiry. where the
roads are spending too much on re-
pairs, the commission found that
locomotive repairs made in outside
shops during those years cost‘ New
Haven much more than similar
work when performed in the road’l
own shops.
In its opinion the commission
held such expencfiures not to be in
the interest of the efficient and
economical management required
by the interstate Commerce act.

Walter E. Shean of Springfield in
in Lincoln car he saw stop across the
street from his store on the after-
noon of October ll, 1024. The day.
before the murder in New Britain.
One of the men Cutler says he later
recognized as Shean. but the other
was positively not Chapman.
"1 don‘t take any stock in ~ that
story." said Detective Edward J.

fice. when asked to comment on it.
«"Nqne . outlier. witnesses. had ,apo.

Another Alibi Witness.
Hickman steps forward as a char-
acter/in the drama of Chapman's life
in New York City after he had rob-
bed the malls of more than $1,000.~
000. A resident of New York at 55
East 59th street. he says in his affi-
davit he saw Chapman in the New
York subway about. 7:30 or possibly
later in the evening of October ii.
1924. He recognized him. he says as
the man whom he used to [new as
George V. Colvvell qr Caldwell. and
with whom he used to dine at Bar-
toloitl's on West. Third strcoi. during
the months of January to May. 1922.
"From the opportunity I had to
observe and study his appearance.
demeanor and the numerous visits
i made with him to various res-
taurants and the times I rode with
him lead me to the irresistible con.
riusion that the man I saw in the
East Side subway. on the night of
October ll. 1924. was Gerald Chap-
man.“ says Hickman's affidavit.
Says Evidence Tallies.
CharlesVW. Murphy. of Danbury.
who prepared the motion for the new
trial. regards the two affidavits as
corroborative evidence of Chapman's
claim that the bandit was not with
Sheen‘ln the Lincoln car. In this re-
spect. he said. it also corroborates
the affidavit of Edward H. lligslnson
of Merlden. father-in-law of Louis
A. Kubeck. that Chapman was not
with Shean on October 11..1924- In
the second. he observed. it tallied
with Chapman‘s claim that he rode
