Hicks Speak at New England Society Session. Nine different States of the Union were represented at the ninth annual congress of the National Society of New England Women which convened yesterday for a three days' segsion at the Hotel Immigration and its influence on America American ideals was severely attacked both in the day session and at the reception and banquet held in the evening. Mrs. Eugene J. Grant, president general of National Society of New England Women.

said: "Much has been said about mothers' influence and home environment. But fathers' place in the share of the discipline of the children does not seem to be filled these days. And unless something is done to train young American thought and action, our national standards will go down to extinction before the rising tide of foreign influence which is increasing each day. We should turn our attention to the schools, public and private, which are the cradle of character to formation. Watch what the children learn not only from books, but from songs and the lips of their teachers." Dr.

Edward E. Hicks. president of the New England Society Brooklyn, pointed out the reason for the apathy of the Atlantic States to the vital question of immigration. "The Middle West and the Southern States are awake to the situation, but the Atlantic States, depending as they do on the foreign vote, fears to take any action. Immigration should be restricted very severely and should exclude the mentally deficient and the undesirables." ROESSLER'S BODY FOUND AT BABYLON He Was Swept From Deck of Launch and Drowned.
