MARSH RXOWX IX SEATTLE bald to Have Flowed Puget Sound Sports Out of Big Fortune. SEATTLE. March 1 4. (Special.) Seattle Kports who have gone up against the wrestling game are not surprised at the statements carried in the Associated Press dispatches to night concerning the manipulations of Marsh, the. Seattle wrestler, who has been uccused of being a party to fleec ing a Southern man of 9.17,500. Marsh Is recognized here as Joe Carroll Marsh, alias OIc Marsh, well known in the Klondike and later in this city. Carroll pulled off several stunts in this city a few vears ago. and is al leged to have cleaned up some Rell inglmm capitalists by fake matches lield on houseboats on lake Washing ton. L( Stenger, of Relltngham. well known, fell for a big bunch of money, estimated by himself to be about $10,000. Marsh was for a long time a baekej and trainer of Frank "iotcii. and after leaving Ootch he tied his fortunes-with Hoe Roller, of this city, who he brought out as a coining champion. Immediately after the Burns-Roller match a short time ago, Carroll, or Marsh, left here and is believed by local followers of the game to have been instrumental in the matching of 3toller and Westergard here tomorrow night. Carroll vouches for the prowess of Westcruard. Carroll is reputed to be worth a for tune. Ills first appearance was made on Puget Sound, when John Berg Started the game In Bellinffliam, and was hailed as tho coming man on the mat. Carroll was accused of being the, chief figure In what was known as the "wrestlers' trust." headed also by Duncan McMillln and other of'-the big chlefo In the profession.

FAIR HAND SEEKS WATCH Cenfralia Marshal Picked as Victim of "Fainting Bertha." CENTRALIA. Wush.. March 14. (Spe cial.) That a "Kainting Bertha" is oper ating in tVntralia is t!u opinion of the Centralia night Marshal. Arthur Thomp son. Thompson is a young man whose appearance would indicate that he would respond to an appeal to his gallantry. The appeal came last night when he en countered on the street an old woman and her pretty daughter, both strangers in the city. The young wotni saw him and fainted fainted in convenience to the young man's arm. His arm automatiealy en twined her for suiport. Her head fell on his shoulder. "I am all righ't now. mother." the young Wiiman gasped. The three started for a room, that the young woman might re cover. While learning the new lockstep, Thompson did not forget himself. With one hand he quietly felt for his watch. It met another, a tender.- soft hand that startled for an instant and slunk away. But she was a wily young woman. The hand returned and sought his. Then it was that Thompson joined the hand holders' union, because it was not safe to hold back. He gave the little hand a gentle squeeze and held it that he might not lose it. and said, "1 am all right now, 'mother. " PASSION WILL SOON PASS Woodrow Wilson Says Regulative Lcgis-hitiou Is Spasm. - CHICAGO. March 14. Woodrow Wil son, president of Princeton University, Was the principal speaker at the banquet given by the Commercial Club of Chi cago at the Congress Hotel tonight. Mr. Wilson said in part: A passion for regulative legislation seems to have taken possession of the country of late, but it carne upon it so suddenly, so much more like an impulse of impatience than like a deliberate pur pose, that there is every indication that the careful thinking upon which it should have been founded will succeed it after it has spent its force rather than accom pany and give direction to it. "The acts of corporations themselves must be checked not by futile and blundering attempts to indicate to each corporation how its business shall be conducted, but by bringing; its officials directly to book.

SECOND INVASION OF BARBARIANS Root Compares Immigration to Pouring of Hordes Into Roman Empire. AS TO CONQUERED COUNTRY Secretary Tells Austrian Correspon dent Hair-Civilized Hordes of Eu rope Will Xot Assimilate and Only Come for the Money. -NEW YORK, March 14. (Special.) Die Zeit, a daily newspaper of Vienna, contains in Its number of March 1, re ceived in New York today, a remark able interview by Its Washington cor respondent with Secretary Root, who says in part: "With regard to the Immigration problem, the United States is now in the position of the Roman Empire, in vaded by the barbarians, who overran it .In search of riches. The barbarians Sai mates. Dacians. Avarlans. etc. were miserably poor and the rich countries of the Roman Empire, with their high culture, irresistibly attracted them. "The same people I mean from the "same countries that sent barbarians Homeward Croatians. Bohemians, Slovaos. Roumanians, Poles, Rutiienians, Jews and uncultured South Italians are overrunning the United States. And, as in olden days, they bring their wives and children, settle down in our miust. pushing and crowding us, and begin life anew, as if they were in a conquered country." . "But the United States couldn't exist without ipimlgration," was suggested. "Agreed." said Mr. Root, "but circum stances absolutely require that immi grants assimilate with our Nation. This needed assimilation was quick and easy as long as the Immigrants intellect and education was equal to our own that is. during the period when the great masses of people landing at our shores were Irish. German, French, British or Scandinavians. They came in goodly numbers tand were welcome, but never represented present-day figures, a million or more per annum, and of this million 500.000 are Kast Europeans, people whom Kurope itself regards as only half civil ized. Assimilation Is Impossible. "Americans did not object when those East Europeans came in small bunches. While few in number, they were obliged to educate themselves up to the coun try's average state of civilization. They assimilated because they were constantly dealing with Americans, having no coun trymen of their own to fall back on. But nowadays they come in regiments and army corps. . and follow each other so closely that their assimilation becomes Impossible. A look into the Jews' quar ters on the east side of New York or Ui Chicago's Polish quarters will expl, " "Foreigners art ImDoUtlkt..

But only the Door Jap anese use postal orders. The Japanese that have risen, to the dignity of a bank account proudly send checks. We esti mate that, all told, the Japanese in the United States sent home at least $15,000. 0U0 in 1907, which means that every Jap anese in America saves per annum a fortune in the eyes of the average Jap anese peasant or artisan. Decamp With the Loot. "I was thinlcins' nartlnlark, 'nr Japanese when I likened present-day iiiiimgruiion conditions m America to I ll I IN P in tho Rnmnn lmnit-A a . period. The Japanese immigration to the United States is like the invasion of a xoreign race, ready to decamp after se curing the coveted loot.
