Sen. Hale Watching
Out for Quarantine
Station at Portland
(Special to Kennebec Journal)
Washington, D. C., April 15.—One
of the first matters taken up by
United State's Senator Frederick Hale
on his return to Washington was
the question of improving the facili
ties and enlarging the quarantine
station to take care of the large num
ber of imigrants that are' constantly
arriving at the port of Portland.
When Senator Hale was lri Blaine a
short time ago he took up the matter
of the immigration station at House
Island and held conferences with Dr.
A. F. S. Stuart, the quarantine officer
and the officials of the Chamber of
Commerce after a careful survey was
made and the question come into
Senator Hale telegraphed the public
health service and asked that imme
diate steps be taken to improve the
quarantine station at Portland. The
surgeon general notified Senator Hale
that immediate steps would be taken
to furnish the necessary equipment
for House Island and authorized Dr.
Stuart to place on duty the necessary
attendants when the station1 wai
ready for operation today. Senator
Hale personally called upon James
J. Davis, secretary of the Dept, of
Labor, William W. Husband, Com
missioner General of Immigration,
and Dr. Hugh Cummings, the Sur
geon General of the Public Health
Service explaining the needs of the
port of Portland and asking for their
co-operation in this matter.
Secretary Davis told Senator Hale
that he and the commissioner gen
eral of immigration were to make an
lnvestigfctioh the latter part of next
wfeefc of New Ytrik tfbd Boston an*
would include Portland nod th« mat'
ter of proper and adequate quaran
tine and immigration faculties and
conditions an they actually exist
looked into. Br. Cummings told Sell*
ator Hale today that tie would send
aA official to aeeetftpaay the secre
tary of labor and the oofrtihlssidnef
of immigration to Portland.
This ftifeahs that the two depart
ments vitally interested III Weft a
question the question of immigration
and quarantine are to matte a per
sonal survey of the port of Portland
and doubtless formulate some plan
whereby the immigration situation
at Portland may be handled and for
eign steamships may land there
rather than be diverted to Halifax
and Montreal. Senator Hale believ
ed that Portland prta the State need
an adequate station and equipment
at House Island for immigration arid
quarantine work. Senator Hale laid
before the Secretary Of Labor the
immediate necessity for action look
ing toward a complete survey of the
entire situation*by the departmental
heads. President West of the Cham
ber of Commerce may or Clark and
Henry P. Merrill have been notified
that the officials spoken of will kf*
rive in Portland ne*t week arid they
will no doubt co Operate ih every
way possible in presenting to the
officials the facta concerning local
conditions at the Port of Portland.

Enjoyable Get-together of Club
■
Augusta. Rotarians gathered again
at the Augusta house Friday evening
to enjoy a hearty dinner blended, as
such gatherings always are, with the
simple spirit of fraternity, to join in
the merrymaking and to listen to
words of interest by. the speakers.
The menu consisted of a chicken
pie dinner with all the fixings. "Dell"
Adams officiated at the piano and
with J. Francis MacNichol as musi
cal director the Rotary songs were
sung as only real Rotarians can sing
them. The entertairmient commit
tee headed by Harry Rowell present
ed the one-act farce “Three Blind
Rotarians," the participants being
Parley Lawrence, Harold Allen and
Jack Hanson. They furnished no
end of amusement in a great race for
a hurry-up call. Perley Lawrence
by his natural-* quick temperament
was able to out-run his opponents
and received the grand prize offered
by the committee.
Following the dinner and the com
mitttee’s program. President Ivan
Lang presented for the first speaker,
Mayor Sanford L. Fogg of Augusta,
Who took for his subject "Prater-1
nity Among Men.” Judge Fogg said
that fraternity is a vital part of the
fraternal organizations that we all
Know ana love so wen. ;\o man
lives for himself alone. There is
planted in the hearts of men a re
sistance to wrong and a resolve to
do that which is right and true, y^e
are living in a fraternal age; each
out is striving to do the best he can
to benefit society and mankind.
Judge Fogg's discourse was forceful
and eloquent, and at the close of it
he was most heartily applauded.
The principal speaker of the eve
ning was Dr. John C. Ferguson of
Pekin, China, who is in the city in
•the interests of the China Famine
Relief campaign and who has passed
34 years in China, 10 of which he
was personal confidential adviser to
the former emperor.
Dr. Ferguson drew a graphic pic
tire of conditions in the famine
stricken provinces of that country,
the cause of which is the result of
most complex conditions, partly due
to strange weather conditions and
partly to military operations result
ing from the war. As yet, he said,
no Chinese committee has made an
appeal to the outside world. They
are a proud people and this appeal
for the relief of famine sufferers was
inaugurated and put forward by for
eigners like myself, who know and 1
fully understand the situation.
In closing, he appealed for hearty
support of the efforts of the local
committee in the raising of the quota
allotted to the people of Augusta
and said that he considered it a com- !
pliment to the people of Maine and i
a few of the other New England 1
states that they are called upon to
come across and bridge the gap be
tween the last few months of starva
tion and a fruitful harvest of an
other year.
A pleasant feature Of the meeting
was the raising of > neat sum of
rtioney for the Salvation Affhy com*
paign from among the members
■present.
President Lang announced th« se
lection of Boy ’Wardwell, John E.
Nelson and Fred 0. Kinsman as the
oommittee on entertainment for the

MILLIONS' PLI6HT
Dr. Ferguson Tells of
Starving Chinese
Noted Authority en Cendfoiens in
China Gives illumniating Talk at
Augusta House-United States ll
Main Hops of Sufferers
Five million people, living in a strip
of absolutely barren territory only SO
miles wide and 400 or. 600 miles long,
are facing death by starvation, and
the only hope of saving these resi
dents of North China rests in Ameri
ca.
“They have been given all the help
possible by the countries of the East,’’
said Dr. John C. Ferguson, confiden
tial adviser to the President of the
Chinese republic, in an informal talk
at a luncheon party in the Augusta
House, Friday noon, "but the resourc
es of the other nations have been ex
hausted. It would be the bitterest
and most cruel thing that could hap
en to parry these people to the Verge
i of starvation as has been done, and
then desert them.’’
\
DR. JOHN C. FERGUSON
In these few words. Dr. Ferguson
drove home to his hearers the plight
of the Chinese more effectually than
could have been done in a long de
scription of the suherlngs through
which they have gone.
1 Dr. Ferguson came to Augusta
from Portland where he spoke Thurs
day evening, and Friday noon he at
tended a conference called by former
Governor Mllliken, chairman of the
Maine China Famine Fund committee.
Over 20 residents of this section In
| terested in fhe work attended and it
| was after the dinner that Dr. Fergu
, son informally discussed the situation
jin the famine area.
After reading from the last tele
| gram to this country from U. 8. Min*
i ister Crane regarding the need of itn
j mediate aid for the Chinese, Dr. Fer
iguson brought out some hitherto un
! published facts as to the cause of the
i crisis now facing the residents of this
section of China.
j '‘Relief measures had already been
planned by the governors of the ad
joining provinces,” pointed out the
distinguished statesman. “Arrange
ments had already been made for the
shipment of huge quantities of grain
from Manchuria into the stricken
area. And then cftme a recnidesence
of the trouble from which China has
suffered since the revolution that re
sulted in the overthrow of the Man
chu dynasty.
“This is the fourth famine through
which I have been,” said Dr. Fergu
son, “so you see I know something
about them, and I say to you that If
it had not been for the military oper
ations, no help would have been need
ed from any other country’. It is im
possible now for the Chinese to meet
the situation.”
After describing how the most thor
ough kind of a survey had bene made
in the famine area to provide for a
careful distribution of supplies, Dr,
Ferguson declared “The least notice
able but by far the fnost valuable
thing that has been done was to
stop the Inhabitants of this section
of China from leaving their homes.
If these,. more than five millions of
people, had spread out Into the rest
of the land there would have been
more suffering than there is. We gave
them the promise that If they would
stay in their own land, then we would
do everything possible to see that
supplies were secured. V
“I shall not harrow you with de
scriptions of scenes In the famine
area. No human words can describe
the situation. The need of from five
to seven millons of people is desper
ate. Money is absolutely needed. It
will be wisely distributed and none
of it will be used for the payment of
those who are engaged In the work.
It goes directly to the people who
need it and money must be sent from
this country not later than May 15 if
the people of North China are to be
saved.”
