OVER HALF A CENTURY IISII GIVES DATA; FALSE, SAYS WILLIAMS Immigration Commissioner Replies at Once to Speech of Specifications. "CHANCE TO NAIL A Man and Boy Were Not Sent Back Because of Stammering, Says Official.

The bitter fight between Immigration Commissioner Williams and the German-Americans of the country, led' by Henry Weisnian of Brooklyn, became more acrid Ihan ever today, when the former declared that the latter had made false statements regarding two specific cases of exclusion In a speech at Arlon Hall last night. "I am glad that you called my attention to this speech at Arion Hall." said the official whom the German-Americans nro striving to oust from his' job. "I am glftd because it is not often that I get such an excellent chance to nail a lie." At Arlon Hall last night, Mr. Welsmann, who Is tho president of the Brooklyn Branch of the Germau-Ameiican Alliance, amplified the attack on Mr. Williams which ho made recently In Washington, D.

C. There he served notice, on behalf of the German-Americans of the country, as he claimed, that his compatriots would knife the Republican nom inee for President next year unless Mr. Taft removed the Commlslsoner ot Immigration at this port. Commissioner Williams, in reply to the atlack pn him, asked for the names of cases In which he had acted unjustly lu the exclusion of Immigrants. In his speech at Arion Hall last night Mr.

Weisman cited two In stances, in which, he said, a boy and a man had been excluded merely because they stammered. Commissioner Williams today said that the reason for exclusion was different, and characterized Mr. Welsman's remarks as "gross misstatements." Weismann Cites Two Cases for Mr. Williams. "The commissioner," said Mr.

Weismann In his speech last night, "asks fo' nameB, names of cases in which he acted as charged by us. 1 take pleasure in ac Column Will Stretch Northward Up the River for Five Miles. NAVY'S GREATEST SPECTACLE. Publlo Will. See Mobilization That Will Exceed Anything Ever Attempted in That Line.

Eagle Bureau, (10S Fourteenth street. Washington, October 16 Detailg for the great naval review at New York are being worked out at the Navy Department as rapldily as possible. The spectacle, which will be offered to residents ot city and tbe thousands of visitors who are expected, will be a magnificent 0113. The mobilization of the fleet will last for two days only. The review will take place on October 31.

The entire Atlantic fleet will at anchor In the Hudson River. the lower end of the line being opposite street, Manhattan. The column will Htretch northward up the Hudson for a distance of at least five miles and prob siuiy more, mere will be twentv-four lnreri at nl.i-val. np Aim leshlps will be divided into six divls- The smaller craft, such as cruisers, juyers, torpedo boats and submarines the auxiliary ships probably will be tucU jii uuuuie column. iiu "as notinea secretary of 0 attend the review, inasmuch as he will not return from the West in time.

Sec retary Meyer will therefore be the chief reVifawinfr ftPFtr.a 1. I no luunuijr Will re- vlew the ships from aboard the Dnlnhin Following the review the commanding officer of the fleet will pay an official call upon the Secretary, who will later return the call aboard the Admiral's flagship. In XT -jii nurauusr i secretary Meyer will inako an Inspection of the ships, as it will not be possible for him to go aboard all of the 102 vessels which will compose the fleet. The inspection will be made by divisions. The Secretary will endeavor'to inspect personally at least one ship In each division, although that will be a considerable task in itself.

On the day following the inspection the fleet will leave the Hudson and make preparations for the regular winter cruise. Those ships which have Imnn taken out of reserve for the purpose of i no review win return to their stations. There- probably will bo a large number i omciai guests, including foreign at taches and members of the naval com mittees of both House and Senate. Secretary Meyer has not yet made up the iihi. ine usual arrangements for patrol ing the Hudson during the review nroh ably will be made, so that excursion boats and merchant craft will be kept in orcier.

It is expected ftat hundreds of thou sands of people will witness the review from the New York and New Jersey shores, in addition to those who will embark on excursion boats, yachts and other private craft. Never before has an opportunity been afforded to the pub lie to view so many warships of the United States Navy at one time. The fleet which will be mobilized far exceeds in number and power that which was reviewed by President Roosevelt at Oys ter Bay.

L- Believed Around the City Halt That He Will Sign the Women's Bill. BUT HE GIVES NO INDICATION. Commissioner Stern and Men Teack crs Oppose the Measure Women Defend It. Fnr upward of three hours Mayor Gay-nor sat in his reception room at th City Hall today while beforo him was waged tile old, old battle for "equal pay" for the women school teachers. Tho occasion was the public hearing given by the Mayor on the bill passed diirlnij the last moments of tbe Legislature, aC the Instance of Governor Dix, granting the women teachers their equal pay d-mnnds.

The Mayor did not make known his attitude on the bill at any stage of tha long heating, but it is the general expectation around the Hall that ha will approve and sign tho bill. Its provisions are almost exactly those contained in the eilucutional chapter ot tho defunct charter, in which, according to the Mayor himself, "there was not a single wrong thing." The battle waged today was only a repetition of those that have been argued out before the Mayor and other city anil State commissions tlmo and time again for the past six years. As on previous occasions, the Interborough Assoclatioa of Women Teachers was lined up solidly In favor of the bill, and the Board at Education and the different men's teachers associations of the city were allied against It, with the few taxpayers who were present almost equally divided between those who favored the measure and those opposed. Board of Education Only Opposed t(l One Item in Bill. Abraham Stern appeared for the Board of Education.

President Winthrop was present at the hearing, and sat besiflo the Mayor during the arguments, bu5 took no part In the dlscusson. Mr. Stern stated that as far as the Board of Education was concerned they were opposed to but one section ot the proposed bill-that which would give women assistant principals a salary of $2,400, which Is an increase of $800 over their presont sal ary- He said mat tne iioara 01 muci- tlon was willing to grant tne saiarv hannea which the charter provided for. lint that this particular one had not been among them. It Is the contention of tho board that an increase ot 5JUU ior ma assistant principals Is all that Is Jus-tilled.

Some of the others who opposed tno bill were Robert ii. Klnan of the Manual Training School. Henry C. Mooro and Joseph K. Van Danberg, representing tho Men Teachers Association, and a Dr.

Berg of the Bronx, who told the Mayor that he represented 5,000 taxpayers who were opposed to tho bill because It would mean an added burden to the taxpayers of per annum. Officials of Women's Association Defend the Bili. Miss Grace Stracltan, the president ot tlie Interborough Association, led the argument In favor of the bill, and answered the arguments which had been raised against it by previous speakers. She was helped along by Miss Leni Gano and Mrs. Anna B.

Moriarty. vice presidents of the association; Miss Isabel A. finnis, the secretary, and Miss Mary Chalmers. Some of the points raised by Miss Strachan in her defense of the bill were: "1: It. provides only equal pay.

"2. The supervisor should receive moro than any one supervised by him or her. "3. The Identical clause or sentence objected to was in the charter when tho charter committee gave a public hearing on the sections devoted to equal pay on August 24 last, yet the representatives of the Hoard of Education made no objections to said clause at that time. "4.

Said clause, in varied language, has formed part of every equal pay bill since 1SI07. "5. Tlie board now pays, in compliance with the Davis law, to a female principal, and to a male principal, charge of a school of at least twelve. classes. I'nder the proposed law an assistant to principal may be put in chargu a school of seventeen classes; $2,400 Is not an extravagant or unreasonable sal ary for such assistant to principal.

"0. The clause affects only 2SS out 0 total of over 17,000 women teachers." MRS. JOHN WHALEY DEAD. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. October 16 Mrs.

ill NOT BOOM CLARKE Democrats Wanted Assembly man to Tour County for the Ticket. HE IS MAKING A LONE FIGHT. Trouble Enough in His Own District. He Will Tell Voters About Union Bank. Assemblyman Louis Goldstein, according to a report in his district, the Twenty-third.

Is being subjected to considerable pressure to make a stump-speaking campaign throughout the county for the Democratic county ticket, and particularly District Attorney Clarke. Goldstein started the Union Bank Investigation, which James C. Cropsey, the Republican candidate for District Attorney, and assistant to Goldstein In the bank investigation, is making the chief feature of his campaign against Clarke. The Assemblyman, It is said, is not Inclined to make a county-wide stump-speaking tour, believing that all his time will be required In his home district to insure his re-election. He is running this year on the Democratic ticket alone, without the Independence League Indorsement, which lie had last year.

The Leaguers have Indorsed Maihewson, the Republican candidate, against Goldstein. In addition, it Is rumored that a number of Democrats, believing that Goldstein is inclined to be "independent, will Knife him at the polls. So he will have his hands full In the Twenty-third District without going outside. Goldstein Is not minded to attack Cropsey, Clarke's opponent, in his speeches. He will neither attack nor puff up anyone in his speeches.

He Intends to tell the facis about tho Union Bank, and how the investigation started and was conducted, without any partiality. He will say that Cropsey did not start the investigation, and will tell his hearers that Cropsey only came into the affair after it was well under way. James .1. Monahan, the Democratic leader of Goldstein's district, after a talk with him yesterday, told the Assembly man to go ahead and tell the people of this district the truth about the bank, no matter whom it hit. Monahan, it 13 reported, had $1,700 on deposit with the bank at the time it closed, and he has not received a cent of it back.

The Twenty-third Assembly District Demo cratic organization had about $900 on de posit, which is considered practically a total loss. DR. AGRIPPA N. BELL DEAD. Was One cf the Most Distinguished Physicians in United States.

For four years past. In the Surrogate's Court of Kings County, he has given evidence of the possession of those qualities which the people respect, and which of late years they more and more demand, In their servants on the bench. "We have, therefore, undertaken the organization of a Non-partisan Committee of citizens to advocate the election of Judge Ketcham, upon the high grounds of merit in the candldaf and public duty on the part of the voter.

E. MACK FOR CHAIRMAN. National Committeeman May Also Head Democratic State Committee. Brooklyn Democrats regard It as likely that Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, Demo cratic National Committee chairman, will be elected chairman of the Democratic State Committee on Wednesday.

They say that he is the logical man for the position, under the circumstances. His work during the present campaign will be light, as there is no Btate 'ticket in the field, and the only State-wide matter with which ho would have to deal would be tho election of AsBemblymen. He occupies a position which is not too close to any faction or set of Interests in the State organization, they say, and it is believed his selection would be satisfactory to all. Local Democrats had the Impression that no State chairman would be elected until next March until they recevied word of the meeting called for next Wednesday at the Hotel Knickerbocker. They understand that Winfleld A.

Hud- puch, whose resignation as State chalr-j man has been in the hands of the sec- retary since Huppuch was appointed lie Service Commissioner, asked to have a new chairman elected for the purposes ot inis campaign. He has found that there were some things for the chairman to do in connection with the campaign, and he believed that his position on the Public Service Commission should prevent his taking up the reins. There are two other candidates on whom a "straight tip" has been glveu. One is George M. I'almer of Schoharie I a at It in ismmodating him.

The name of the h0(1 Mlhm publ(, of 5 years whom he excluded and tore Irom his family, because of a defect of speech (the boy and of bo-called mental weakness, on the ground that it would interfere with his ability ot earning a livelihood, is Stoltenberg. He came nere with his parents and sisters and brothers last summer from Ger: many, where his father had sold his farm to go to Iowa, where, in the nei2hborhocd of Davenport, he had arranged to settle with' his family to till the virgin soil of the land of the free and to add to our national wealth and greatness. I am informed that the man is now living upon his larm but that the 5-year-old was torn from him by order of Mr. Williams and his Board of Inquiry. "Mr.

Williams may attemnt to fortl'y himself behind the certificate of the doc tors. There is nothing in the statute, however, which renders the certificate final; section two uf the act providing that such mental or physical defect must be of a nature, which may affect the ability of the alien to earn a living, a qualifying clause, which clearly rests discration in the commissioner or his Board of Inquiry. "Commissioner Williams Is primarily responsible. He was so in the Stoltenberg case. He was bo on the same day when he asked for names and when ho ordered the exclusion of the German baker, Olson, from Steinbach, Baden, because of a defect of speech (another stuttering case), which to a mind otiier than that of the commissioner could not possibly Interfere with his vocation of molding bread." Boy Feeble-Minded Not Tom From Family.

Mr. Williams' answer today Is aa fol lows: 'The Stoltenberg boy was not excluded stammering: we have no knowledge that he did stammer. He was excluded because he was The United States statutes require the exclusion of feeble-minded immigrants Just they do the exclusion of Idiots and Insane. There Is no authority vested any offlcal, not even In the President himself, to admit a feeble-minded Immi grant. "The boy was not torn from his fam He went back with a close relative who came on from Chicago to accompany him.

'The German baker. Olson, was not ex cluded because of any impediment in his speech, but because of very serious organic disease of the spinal cord. These gross misstatements as to the grounds on which these two Immigrants were excluded are right in line with similar false statements which were exposed July before tlie Rules Committee in Washington. The same false statements appeared in two German newspapers of New York City." 1 E. M.
