Secretary Helming spoke for a further drastic reduction of the percentage quota, urging a change in the basis of limitation from the number of aliens admit ted to the number of aliens naturalized. While selective ! immigration. based on the needs of the country, probably would serve the nation's interests best, he said, strict en forcement of a law, fixing definitely- the numer or percentage of aliens to be admitted, was abso lutely essential. y "United States consuls in for eign countries." Mr. llenning told me conierence, snouiu be given full power to pass upon applicants for admittance to this country men they should be directed to vise passports, giving preference first to wives, children and par ents of naturalized American citi zens or domiciled aliens, then to skilled labor of which there might be a shortage, and finally to com mon labor of the type most need ed. "Twelve equal monthly quotas should be fixed, to avoid the rac ing of snips over the line at quar antine at the first of each month." Examination of prospective, im migrants at foreign ports was im possible, immigration experts con ceded. To avoid violation of the sovereignity of foreign nations. which this would entail, speakers favored the suggestions of Dr. Spencer 1. Dawes of the New York state hospital commission, that medical certificates from doctors abroad be made prerequisite to granting of vises, and of Secretary Henning that immigrants be ad vised of their chance of admittance before breaking up their homes and sailing for the United States. to have invested her entire for-' tune in her son's enterprise, ,Ih reported to be in a serious con dition as the result of a nervous breakdown.' . According to Dr. M. Eisenstaedt who said be had maintained a life long acquaintance with the miss ing financier, Koretx had ' paid dividends on stocks promptly each month for 10 years, making his customers' investments seem so profitable that they reinvested the dividends. Some doubt was cast late today on the belief that Koretz had left the United States by way of New York. Some of those who con ferred with the state's attorney's assistants said there were rumors that a yacht had been waiting for him at Vancouver and that he had left by way of the Canadian bor der. Telegrams were sent to the police at Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco, asking them to watch for him and his yacht. PHYSIO-THERAPY OFFICE TO ME Adjunct of Industrial Acci dent Commission to Be - Done Away With UED BY POLICE Chicago Official Trace Swin dler By Every Known Means at Hand 1 . . J I I ill ir M , I II I I II ll I t CHICAGO, Dec. 13. All known means of communication, includ ing radio, were employed by auth orities today In following two clues which they hope will enable them to locate Leo Koretz, who is missing from Chicago after an al ledged swindle said to be the most amazing ever accomplished in the mlddlewest. ; According to investigators, Ko retx, known as a lawyer, financier and philanthropist, defrauded in vestors in a Central American oil venture or funds, which, it was said, may reach $5,000,000. Al ready losses estimated at $5,000, 000 have been reported. The two clues advanced today were that Koretz either Is on the Atlantic In a speedy mot or boat or that he Is on his way to Hondu ras in an airplane. The former theory was advanced when the In vestigators learned . that Koretz shortly before his disappearance was negotiating for the purchase of a fast motorboat, "The Flying Fox" which is reported to have, accomplished a trip across the At lan tie. The airplane theory resulted from the report to the authorities by Nimmo Black, owner of a com merclal flying field that he had sold a three-seated plane recently to two men, one ot whom appeared at the field with passport for Hon duras, got into the machine with a pilot and started south. Seen in New York ; The last appearance of Koretz known to the authorities was in New York on December 6 when he checked ont of a prominent ho tel, . Throughout the day the list of names, of investors whom Koretz is alleged to have defrauded grew and at the behest of the state's attorney a score of creditors ap-s peared to seek an indictment; and other stockholders in the Koretz company were represented preparf edto instigate bankruptcy pro ceedings to tie up what assets the missing man left behind. . ; - Announcement was made by State's Attorney Crowe late today that relatives of Koretx had vol unteered to turn over f 6r tbe ben efit of the creditors $300,000 which had been given to them by the financier during the: last few weeks. 4 . nrs- . Announcement , also was made that Miss Sara Mandell, a former school teacher, who gave up he profession to help sales in Che Kv rets organization, would turn over $25,000. which tbe missing man gave her a short time ago, telling her that the money represented dividends. on stock -which she her- sejfhad purchased, o , J -" Family Without Money i Mrs. Koretz and her two chil dren are living in a luxurious home but have little money, 'ac cording to Mrs. Koretz.

A. Marshall, chair man of the commission. Miss Ruth Babb of Lake Grove. Or., is head aide in the Salem of fice and Miss Hannah Airlie is her assistant. Three aide3 were formerly employed here, one be ing in charge of the basketry de partment which has since been closed. The patients formerly treated in Salem will be cared for in Portland, Mr. Marshall said last night. 1 The Salem office has been lo cated on the third floor of the Oregon building. The Portland office is located in the Oregon building. The physio-therapy department under the direction of trained aides takes the patients injured in industrial accidents and gives mas sage and electrical treatments deemed be3t suited to bring the muscles back to normal.

With de liveries on December contracts here much smaller than had been expected, wheat today averaged a little higher in price. The close was unsettled at a range which varied from 1-8 cent dec-line to 1-4 cent advance, December 1.04 3-8 and May 1.09 1-8 to 1.09 1-4. Corn finished unchanged to 5-S lower; oats a shade to 1-8 off and provisions unchanged to 7 1-2 cents down. It bad been generally predicted that owing to the fact that lake navigation was at an end the de livery of wheat on December con tracts here would be a good deal enlarged. On the contrary, how ever, deliveries today totaled only 1 1,000 bushels, and tbe Inference was drawn that owners were con vinced profit "chances would be better by carrying the wheat than by attempting to dispose of hold ings. Some unfavorable crop re- j ports from Argentine and small ness of shipments from there, to gether with prospects of increased demand for food products in Ger many, tended also to give firm ness to wheat values. On the other hand, downturns j in the price of corn had some bearish influence on wheat, espe cially during the late dealings. The comparative weakness of corn was in a measure ascribed to the relatively High quality of the corn arriving here, whereas recent talk was to the effect that the quality would be poor. Besides, cold. clear weather, ideal for improv ing the condition of corn, attract ed attention. Word was received also that 210,000 bushels of Canadian wheat would soon reach Chicago and that Russian exports of wheat this week were again on liberal scale. Selling pressure in corn devel oped after, something of an up turn in price from rural buying by small lots. Oats followed corn. Liquidating sales of nearby de liveries of lard weakened the pro vision market despite higher quo tations on hogs. . the contemplated flight next sunv mer to the North Pole only on the basis that the ship should be In flated with' the non-inflammable helium gas for that trip.
