set for Tuesday in White Plains before
Justice Joseph Morschauser.
Tho restraining order directs that j
the company restore its service to the ?
village of Hastinga, which was aban?
doned because of the fi^ht made there
against the 15-cent fare charged for
pai sage to the Bubway. The all night
service on the Jerome Avenue and
Webster Avenue lHrcs is also to be re?
stored. The company is further direct?
ed to operate its cars through Tuck
ahoe and not cut ol? the service at the
town line.
Mrs. Julia li.idd, of 81 Park Avenue.
was the first passenger who declined
to pay the extra fare this afternoon.
She informed the conductor of the in- j
junction and was allowed to remain on ?
the car.
Mr. O'Neill explained to-night that j
the city officials were included in the
application for the restraining order
because he considered that they did
not do their duty in enforcing the pro?
vision of the franchise of 11-11 under!
which the traction concern had been
operating prior to the increase in fare'
The company reduced the fare before ;
any of the officers had been served
with the order. They had been in?
formed of it by newspaper men.
7-Cent Fares Restored
To Trenton Trolley Line
TRENTON, N. J., May 3. A seven
cent faro will again be cl arged on all
traction lines operated by the Public
.Service Railway Company. An order
to this effect was issued by the Public
Utilities Commission upon application
of the railway company.
Since April 1 the company has been
charging six-cent fares. Its applica?
tion l<> go back to tlie seven cent Pare,
which it had been charging since May
of last year, was based on the neces?
sity of providing new equipment and
improving ttu? condition of its rolling
st< ck.
The commission declared a six-cent
fare not only will not allow the com
pany to recoup earlier losses, but that
it will not permit needed improvements.
Canada to Bar

OTTAWA, May 3.?Immigration into!
Canada of Hutterites, Mennonites and
Doukliobors?sects opposed to existing
law and order or whose influence is of
the radical type-has been prohibited
by a government order in council
adopted here, after many protests had
been made by patriotic and Canadian
welfare organizations throughout the
Dominion.
The storm of indignation due to the
influx of Hutterites and Mennonites
from parts of the American Northwest '
who are being allowed to occupy lands
in Canada that, in the opinion of many |
Canadians should have gone to the re- :
turned Canadian heroes, caused such
a strenuous protest that discussion of
the problem in the House of Commons
was rushed in order to reach a decision
as to what to do with these disturbing
immigrant sects. Many are known to
be ? r '-German in their sympathies and j
actions.
Little Opposition to Plan
In addition, a bill ?s before Parlia?
ment which would amend the existing:
immigration law to exclude all Bolshe?
viks, illiterate! . anarchists, German
born aliens, conspirators, persistent
drunkards and mental and physical de?
fectives who would prove a drain on
the welfare of the Dominion.
While the proposed new immigration
act may provide for the future, there
is still to be settled Ce vexed ques?
tion as to whether the Mennonites and
Hutterites who have coine to Canada
re to b ? allowed to remain. Be?
sides the Hutterite and Mennonite is

Immigration Is Debated
In the House last week Mr. Tweedie
asked Hie Minister of Immigration, .1.
A Calder, what the government in?
tended to do with the Hutterites and
Mennonites at present in 1 he cou :
Mr. Calder replied that those now m
Canada had come in under the ,
ing law, and he did not think they
should be deported. Such action < ?
only be taken under the War
Act. There was tio power m '.be law
at present to exclude these people, bu
that under the new bill the govern
ment would be able to do this.
An intimation bad been sent from
Ottawa to Winnipeg that an ear!', di
cisi?n on the Hutterite question might
cted from 1 ne government, i
eab.net had under consideration the
objection? that were being voiced to
s'lcb Immigration from American
poii rt h west.
in political circles ?.ere it is thought
likely that certain foreigners who have
come into Canada will be. allowed '??
remain. Prom now on, however, "the
lid will go on," at least until indi
conditions are better, and until the big
problem of providing employment for;
Canadian returned citizen soldiery is
settled.

While the May Day disturbances did '?
not prove as extensive as they had rea- i
sons to fear, heads of national unions!
in New York yesterday declared the
iisturbances in this city, Cleveland I
und elsewhere must serve as a warn- j
ing that powerful influences looking'
toward more serious disturbances arc j
at work.
The persons seeking these results
Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the
American Federation of Labor and the
labor member of the late War Indus?
tries Hoard, declared, are the same per?
sons who, in one way or another,
sought to play Germany's game during.
the war.
"I have contended," he said, "that
any person who says there is no un?
rest and that Bolshevism docs not
threaten is mistaken. Every pacifist,
every opponent of the government dur?
ing the war, is allied with the Bolshe?
vik element. Behind them all is Ger?
many. The German emissaries tiro still
in our midst, and should Bolshevism
triumph?which it will not?you would
find these Germans out in front.
Action of Soldiers Significant
"The significant part of the disturb?
ances here and elsewhere is the ac?
tion of the returned soldiers and sail?
ors. These men, back from the front
where they suffered everything, re
turning to find these people trying to
destroy what they fought for, are
naturally not unite aa conservative in
their treatment of them as they might
lie. They resent attacks on the Ameri?
can form of government, they resent
i he hoi of a r flag or no flag in
place of the American flag, and they
resent the substitution of the 'Inter?
nationale' or some other song for 'The
Star-Spangled Banner.'
"The soldiers represent real Amer?
ican sentiment of to-day, and they ap?
ply to the enemies of the American
government at home the same treat?
ment that they gave Com?an enemies
abroad."
"Wo will have more instead of less
of this sort of thing," said Crank
Feeney, international president of the
Elevator ; ' Union. "'! I
cure'.' Well, about ten days ago a pair
of Bolsheviki sought to conven
men on a municipal pier in Philadi 1

dirty rag. The men took the rope off a

them, yield? d to cooler judgment and
soaked them in the river. They threw

"Home Again1
UST a. simple,vhomely old song.
Familiar to us all?to some of
us half .forgotten. Yet in music's
beautiful manner it carries us back
to days long fled?to the time,
perhaps, when the Boys in Blue
were coming Home!
Today, the melody goes just
as straight to the heart as it did
when the song was new.
The words have never been so
meaningful as now, when?their
weary homesick days forgotten?
crowned with Victory and Honor,
the Boys in Brown are coming
home.
The
Distinctive Phonograph
The Vocation record of "Home
Again," sung by the Shannon
Male Quartette, has the wonder'
ful realness of tone which charac?
terises all of the Vocation records.
But whether your choice be voice,
instrument or full orchestra, you
may, by a simple manipulation of
an exclusive Vocalion feature
called the Gradu?la, play the
music as you l\\e best to hear it.
The gamut of musical expression,
from ringing bravura to the most
delicate echo, is at the command
of your finger-tips.
The
Superior Phonograph
The tone'quality of a musical
instrument rests with the indivi?
du?is behind the development of
that instrument. The same
organization that is responsible
for the Aeolian Pipe Organ, the
Stcinway and Weber Duo-Art
Pianola-Pianos, and the Weber,
Steck, Wheelock and Stroud piano
fortes, is responsible for the develop'
ment of the Aeolian-Vocalion. The
brains and time of the leading musical
and scientific experts of America have
been used without stint in perfecting
the tonal purity of this phonograph.
Consistent with the tone-superiority
of the Aeolian'Vocalion is the remark'
able case design and workmanship.
From the modest $50 Style 100 to the
most ornate of the sixteen handsome
Period Models, the care exhibited in
the building and finishing of the cases
is a fitting indication of the painstak'
ing skill expended upon the more
vital musical qualities of the Vocalion.
The Universal Tone'Arm permits
one to play all the phonographic music
of the world, and the Vocalion plays
every record with a new beauty and
fineness.
Aeolian Vocalion prices are:
Conventional Models
from $50;
with Gradu?la from $115.
Period Models from. $240.
