Asserting that employment
threatened to become a menacing
problem. 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.

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.

tune in her son's enterprise, ,Ih

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.

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

AIL DRUGGISTS
CHICAGO, Dec. 13. 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. '
Secretary Denby's position is
that any Increase - In efficiency
which might result from substitu
ting the more buoyant hydrogen
for helium would not warrant ex
posing the ship and her people to
the added dangers involved in the
use of an inflammable gas like hy
drogen. ' "
The navy department, moreover.
has been satisfied with the tests of
helium gas for aircraft inflation
during and since the war.
