(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Atlanta, Ga., April 20. Assistant
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch
cock is generally believed to be in the
south for the purpose of getting dele
gations in line for Roosevelt and Sec
retary Taft at. the next republican
convention. Under the cloak of a
social visit to Atlanta's postmaster
and to Inspect the postoffiee, he camo
hero Wednesday, apd on Thursday ho
held a long conference with republi
can office-holders and members of the
republican state central committee. '
From Atlanta he went to Macon
Thursday aftefnoon, and that night
he held a five hours' conference with
Postmaster Harry Stillwell Edwards,
the friend of President Roosevelt and
one of the Georgia republicans on
whom the president depends for in
formation concerning appointments.
A special to the Atlanta Georgian
recoived today from Charleston, S. C,
says Hitchcock is now there, in con
ference, and will remain there until
tomorrow. When in Atlanta, Hitch
cock said he was on his way to Jack
sonville, Fla., on postoffiee business.
It is known that Postmaster Blodgett
of Atlanta was cautioned in a letter
not to make public the Visit here, and
this caution, together with the con
ference with republican leaders that
followed, Is looked upon as Indicating
a ' political mission In President
Roosevelt's interest.

TWENTY MILLIONS .
SUFFERING HUNGER
(Special Cable to The Times.)
London, April 20. Writing from
the Russian famine district, Dr
Kennardi who was sent by the So
ciety of Friends to Investigate con
ditions "among i the peasantry, draws
an appalling picture of the suffering.
After calling attention to the urgent
and Immediate need of funds ne
says:
"This is the worst famine Russia
has known. No less than 20,000,000
persons distributed throughout the
southeastern provinces can not live
without aid, to see another harvest,
and I may say that this figure has
been not only approved by the Zem
stvo organization but also by the
government itself. The date of the
harvest will vary with the latitude,
and the famine-stricken region is
spread over such a wide area (five
times the size of Prance) that more
than ten degrees of latitude are in
volved. Tho few cows that are in
existence are in such a pitiful con
dition themselves that they, are use
less for milking. The result is that
babies and young children are the
worst sufferers."
IMMIGRANTS ARE
COMINC' IN A FLOOD
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, April 20. Ten thous
and Immigrants passed through the
gateway to the United States at Kills
Island on the eighteenth of April.
The indications are that the flood of
Immigrants to this country is greater
than ever before, and that the year's
total will exceed the million mark.
They are coming now from Italy, Rus
sia, Poland, and the Slavonic states.
Many are Finns, which seems to in
dicate that when Russia broke Its
promlsa of self-government to Fin
land, the people of that country had
courage and enterprise enough to leave
it rather than to acquiesce in an un
just and" intolerable despotism. '
It is easy to understand that this
flood of Immigration means "for 'the
moment a certain degree of over
competition in our labor market. And
yet in conversation with the leaders
of labor organisations, it is ' learned
that it is not immigration so much
that troubles them as the effort of cor
porations, and ' great employers of la
bor to prevent the assimilation of the
incoming Immigrant with the work
ing people here.
In certain lines of work in the min
ing districts of Pennsylvania, and
alo'.ig tho railroads that employ Ital
ians and Huns, the new-comers seem
to hold aloof. But In the main those
men become Americans in every sense
of the word very shortly after they
arrive in this country.
