LECTURES TO P. 0.S.0F A. ME. MABTIK OF NEWARK DELI J'ERS PATRIOTIC ADDRESS BE- j FORE LOCAL CAMP OR THE SUB- ' CT "AMERICA FOR AMERICANS ' —SUPPORTING BURNETT BILL. From Thursday'* Daily Star and Wav "America For Americana," was the subject of an address by J. A. Martin, of Newark, N. J., before a large number of members of Camp No. 181, P. O. S. of A, last night. Mr. Martin, who is a member of Usmp, No. 6, of New York City, is supporting United States Congressman John S. Burnett, of Alabama, in his pet measure, "Restricted Immigration." He has toured mrough New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and Ohio and has accumulated very valuable data, some of which was imparted to his fellow patriots last evening. Mr. Martin used the subject "America for Americans," as a vehicle to lend support to Congressman Burnett's bill, . Which is shortly to come before the Senate for action, which was passed a few months ago by the House of Representatives by a vote of 252 congressmen voting for the bill and 126 voting against it, which made it a two-third majority. The bill is known as the Burnett-Smith Immigration Bill, 6060, and embodies some very imjiortant laws that would be a benefit to this country and would greatly . relieve the terrible influx of illiterate immigration that has been pouring in at the rate of thous- I , ands a year. Mr. Martin was not advocating the ' , closing of the ports of the country nor ( taking away from the word "free" any , of its volume, but lie claimed that as j Americans, having in our keeping this , country, we should do all in our power f to protect it against undesirable im- , migration. , With well defined language and many j convincing points, Mr. Martin clearly , outlined the bill and explained its pas- j sage through both Houses of Congress J last year, only to be vetoed at the ' ] hands of President Taft and of the gal- ' ] lant effort of the Senate and House j ^ to pass it over the President's vetoe, but by six votes the veto was sus- | tained. and an attempt to place on the ] statute books of our country, a jtyrely American lava proved futile- But , with untiring persistence the Honor- | able John I,. Burnett brought before ^ this "Congress another Bill, the one ' , mentioned above and it has been passed v as stated by the lower house of Con- ' rj gress and will be before the Senate for j action in a short time. ' jj Mr. Martin annealed to everr man

present to get in communication with our two U. S. Senators asking for their support on this much-needed restricted immigration question. The speaker showed the assemblage where in five years the elective franchise is conferred on all naturalized aliens over the required age and they have as much right at our polling places as has the Ameri- -. can born to place the men at the head - of our government — state and municipalities, yet the Americans have to be here 21 years to gain the ume |>ower. ' Mr. Martin was aceorued\great ap- ■ plause at the close of one of the best ] patriotic speeches ever heard in the loeal Camp and he lived up to the name accorded him in this and other states, that of "Platform Prince." • In depart - 1 ing from Cape May, Mr. Martin leaves a lasting impression, and Camp 1B1 ! has pledged its support to his advoca- i ' tions and extends to him a warm wel- , come to -return at anv time. • A RARE BUSINESS OPENING.

TECH, JR. TO r RACE AUG. 15 COLONEL T. COLEMAN duPONT'S 3 FAST POWERBOAT WILL PAR- - TICIPATE IN RACE AT CAPE MAY ' YACHT CLUB— FLIES CORINTHIAN • CLUB COLORS. From Thursday's Daily Star and Wav The Tech, Jr., racing power boat of Colonel T. Coleman duPont. of Wilming1 ton, will arrive in Cbpe May in a rew ' days on the Philadelphia, and Reading ' railroad. - The Tech, Jr., participated in the 6 boat races at Lake George, N. Y., last week, and is sent here for the purpose 1 of entering "the- open race on August 15, at the Cape May Yacht Club, under ' the aaupices of the South Jersey Racing Association. It is not generally known, but the ' Tech, Jr., always races under the col- ' ors of the Corinthian Yacht Club, which fact should be interesting to Cape '■ May people because of the wonderful ' advertising possibilities for this city. 1 Should the Tech be successful in.win1 ning the gold challenge cup at the races " of the American Power Boat Associa1 tion to be hold in August, it- would mean that the next race would be held at Cape May. This would be of more ' value from an advertising standpoint 1 than all the advertising Cape May has • done in years. Boats from virtually | every part of the country would participate and it might mean that eventually : the intemational races for the Hamsworth cup would be pulled off h^re?\. Colonel duPont prefers the Coiw tliinn Club because of the superior race course and harbor to that of Wilmingb<sauso tlie waters there are filled . with drift wood and there is an unfavorable current as well as the frequent of passing steamers. He j chooses Cape May for several reasons. , of the beautiful and peaceful waters of the haibor and the love of his for Cape May. The Yacht T'-eh. is lying off the Cor- j Yaelit Club, in charge of Cap- , tain Malcoin B'llsbnrongh and a crew ! of eleven men. It has on board Mrs. ^ and her son Clarence, who recently entertained a large number of friends. The Ti-eh. Jr.. upon arrival here will taken to Schellenger's Landing and will be launched into the sound from the wharf. Colonel duPont lias placid an order Cor a new racing boat, which will be * much superior to his present speed boat. 8 Tech. Jr.. was recently improved 8 the installation of a 180 horsepower Sterling engine, but as yet it does not v up to the standard. * „ b
