The total assets ;are $1,479,097.23. The auditors declared at the conclu sion of the work "that Cumberland's . books are aa godd as any set at county seats in this state, if not the best. ;The result of the audit is a thorough j and complete vindication of the 'county - officers so" much ' criticized during the (agitation, for. the audit, which culmi nated in a fight in a committee room . of the legislature and the passage of a "compromise measure providing for the 'auditing .'of -the booka by a firm of bonded auditors.

Testimony by Commissioner Wallis of the Ellis Island immigration station,. ;that Europe was "literally moving "to tha United States" and that a "flood- of aliens was imminent," still left mem bers of the senate immigration com mittee doubtful tonight as to action upon the Johnson bill prohibiting im migration for one year. Several mem bers frankly expressed "doubt whether any measures to stop or restrict immi gration would be enacted at this ses sion of congress. The committee obviously was im pressed with Commissioner Wallis statements as to the need for inspec tion of aliens before -leaving Europe and for more' rigid examination after their arrival at American ports. The commissioner recommended that facili ties be established overseas for such inspections, and declared 90 per cent of the immigrants arriving under the existing system Nvould be denied per mission to sail if they were examined at the ports of embarkation by Ameri can officials. A proper system of ex amination in Europe and upon' arrival Mr. Wallis said, would prevent an imminent flood" of these, diseased in body and mind. , "Fortunately," he added, "the steam ships of th world can bring only 1,300,000 a year to the United States. It is the limited transportation facili ties and' increased (expense that we will get the best protection." The commissioner declared reports of the public health service indicated that eastern Europe today "is In the grip of four epidemics typhus, typhoid, dysentery and tuberculosis." The war has undermined the' heal in of those countries and their emigrants are "dangerous to the public health of the United States," Tie added. Chairman Colt of th committee asked whether, it would be "harmful" if congress postponed changing pres ent" laws for six months. "It would not be more harmful than at present," Mr. Wallis replied. "But I would prefer a definite measure 'giv ing us more Inspectors, living quarters and increased facilities overseas."
