OBIS WRECKED THEIR DANCE WITH HIS BANK Wadleigh Girls Discovered Fact on Saturday When They Tried to Deposit Cash. New York, Jan, 24. When several young women of the Greek letter fra ternity Phi Phi Mu of Wadleigh High school went to the Washington Savings Bank Saturday to deposit to the account of the society they learn ed for the first time that Joseph G. Robin's high finance had tieo. up all the funds they had saved for a year to pay the-expenses t the -fraternity dance In the Waldorf-Astoria which was to be held on -Feb. 3, but which they fear may have to be given up. The amount of Phi Phi Mu Is on the books of the bank In the name of the fraternity and of Miss Aurele Mc Laughlin of No. 006 Lexington ave nue, as trustee. Miss Helen Hanklns, the treasurer, of St. Nicholas avenue and One Hundred and Sixteenth street gave 125 to Miss McLaughlin to deposit last Saturday morning, She, with Lottie Behnlng of No. 2135 Seventh avenue, Camilla Helmle of Hamilton Terrace and Susan Lyons of West Seventy-first street, went to the bank with the money and found the notice on the door that the bank had been closed. 'We thought the bank had closed early because It was a half-holiday, and we tried to make the men we saw Inside open It and take our mon ey," said Miss McLaughlin. "The men inside smiled at us, pointed to the door, and we saw the dreadful notice that the bank examiners were In harge." "Isn't It too bad, and our dance only two weeks off," remarked Miss Behn, Ing. 'Yes, I and some of the other girls had read about Robin's trouble but we didn't connect that with our bank,' added Miss McLaughlin. "It is one 0 the secrets of the fraternity to keep the place of deposit and the amount secret so that most of the girls any' way would not know that we had money there." The young women of the Phi Phi Mu telephoned the president Mrs. Rthel Vaughn Eggleston of Benson hurst L. I., of the disaster and she will call a meeting to appoint a com mlttee on ways and means. In the meantime the members are preparing to ask their respective papas to con tribute to a fund of 11000. The news will be broken gently by their daugh era this week. The bank wrecker's ears will prob ihly burn when the young women hold their meeting. TWELVE ANARCHISTS ARE EXECUTED TODA i .

Thou sands of Jews stormed the ducatlonal Alliance,- at East Broad wty and Jefferson street ' yesterday afternoon,.- seeking to at tend the annual meeting of. the He brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid society. The iron railing which sep arates the sidewalk from the bulldlpK . and guards an areaway ten feet deep was broken down by the struggling . people. David Lovosoff, 40, a tailor. living at No. 258 Cherry street and Meyer Yellin, 18, a tailor of No. 77 Broome street were hurled to the bottom of the areaway. Lovosoff was taken to the Gouverneur hospital with fracturel skull, Yellin was treated for contusion and bruises and went to his home. So great was the crowd that the reserves were called from the Madison street police station. Denounce Restrictive Legislation. . The auditorium of the Alliance was packed and hundreds were turned away. The restrictions In lmmlgra- ", tlon advocated by the immigration ' authorities, which have resulted In the organisation of the American Im migration society, aroused the antag- ' onism of , the Jews, Men like Jacob Schlff, Congressman '-. Gold f ogle and ' Judge Sanders denounced the govemT v ment policy. - The annual report ox the society; which anas . sutrmtttsd Mr ' - the president. Judge' Sanders, showed that the . percentage of dependent Jewish ' Immigrants is. exceedingly small. .. Mr. Schlff said; . "I do not believe a man should be denied entry Into this country because he Is Illiterate or because he has no money. Some of our prominent men today are sons of Illiterate parents who came through Ellis Island. I say that when a man comes to this coun try who Is healthy and willing to work he should be allowed to enter, providing he Is not a criminal. The Hebrews represent two per cent of , the population of this country; It ' should be at least Ave per cent and we need fully 3,000.000 more Jews, I believe however that they should be distributed through the west The immigrants have made this country and not the wealthy aristocrats who . live on Fifth avenue." Congressman Goldfogle, a member of the house committee on immigra tion, declared In favor of unrestricted Immigration. He said: Tomorrow I am going to return to Washington to prepare a minority re port on the Gardner Educational Test bill. If passed It would be the first step In severe restriction of lmmlgra- ' tlon. The law should bar from this oountry the criminal, the diseased and - other undesirable persons. I do not believe In the money test. If a mats strong and willing to work this oountry is large and broad enough to afford him that opportunity. The men who advocate restriction of Im migration do not realise what the Immigrants have done for this coun try. Men who came through Ellis Island a few years ago penniless and without friends are now Important units in our national life. They con stitute our lawyers, shop-keepers, real nutate owners and Industrious wage earners. The bulk of our tremendous population Is made up of . one-time Immigrants. Now they possess a con siderable part of the wealth of this country and have proved themselves splendid cttltens. Not With Rooaevolt . Ex-President Roosevelt In a mes sage to congress declared himself for restrictive Immigration and urged laws which would bar illiterate per sons and require aliens to prove that they could earn a living under Amer loan labor conditions. On the other hand, the lata ex-President Grover Cleveland,' In vetoing a Mil based on the' same lines as the Gardner bill, declared that It was contrary to the spirit of American government and put himself on record as favoring liberal immigration lawa." Judge Sanders In reviewing the work of the society for the past year said: . We heartily Indorse everything which our law makers In their wis dom have enacted Into statute. We do not want the diseased, we do not desire criminals, we do not encour age paupers and we Co not tolerate contract laborers.
