  • A3431 July 1908–February 1912
    A3431 NONSTATISTICAL MANIFESTS OF TEMPORARY ALIEN ARRIVALS AT LAREDO, TEXAS, JULY 1908–FEBRUARY 1912 Compiled by Claire Prechtel-Kluskens National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2005 INTRODUCTION On the three rolls of this microfilm publication, A3431, are reproduced over 4,300 nonstatistical manifests of temporary alien arrivals at Laredo, Texas, from July 4, 1908, to February 29, 1912. These records are part of the Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Record Group (RG) 85. BACKGROUND Early records relating to immigration originated in regional customhouses. The U.S. Customs Service conducted its business by designating collection districts. Each district had a headquarters port with a customhouse and a collector of customs, the chief officer of the district. An act of March 2, 1819 (3 Stat. 489), required the captain or master of a vessel arriving at a port in the United States or any of its territories from a foreign country to submit a list of passengers to the collector of customs. The act also required that the collector submit a quarterly report or abstract, consisting of copies of these passenger lists, to the Secretary of State, who was required to submit such information at each session of Congress. After 1874, collectors forwarded only statistical reports to the Treasury Department. The lists themselves were retained by the collector of customs. Customs records were maintained primarily for statistical purposes. On August 3, 1882, Congress passed the first Federal law regulating immigration (22 Stat. 214–215); the Secretary of the Treasury had general supervision over it between 1882 and 1891. The Office of Superintendent of Immigration in the Department of the Treasury was established under an act of March 3, 1891 (26 Stat.

With every passing year it is becoming more evident that these are shortly to be, if indeed they are not already, quite as important as those with Europe. Ameri­ can business, American missions, and American diplomacy are all intimately concerned with the Far East and we are in addition constantly confronted with the problem of immigration from the Orient. Because of these contacts and the complications which they involve, it is obviously necessary that Americans should make themselves familiar with the nations whose neighbors we have become. College curriculums have been slow to adjust themselves to the need and in but a very few is there given anything that approaches adequate recognition of our trans-Pacific neighbors. We are, fortunately, well supplied with courses on European history and institutions, but to the Far Orient our university schedule­ makers pay only the scantiest attention. While this remains true, the need must in part be met by informal, extra-curriculum groups. It is to meet the needs of such of these groups as wish to study China that this syllabus is prepared.

    29004_U01.qxd 2/6/06 3:54 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 American Variety and/or Foreign Features The Throes of Film Distribution Imagine that you are a young woman who has decided to join one of your store clerk or stenographer friends going to the movies after work in down- town Des Moines, Iowa, in the spring of 1913. On Sunday, May 4, you read the Des Moines News and know what programs will be playing in at least four moving picture theaters that next week.1 On Tuesday, for instance, what are your choices? At the Casino (just opened in December) is Pathé’s Weekly (a newsreel), Essanay’s The Crazy Prospector, and Vitagraph’s Cinders. At the Fam- ily, Bison-101’s two-reel The Indian’s Secret and Billy’s First Quarrel. At the Unique, Majestic’s two-reel Children of St. Anne and Her Sister’s Secret. The Colonial has a special feature (running all week), the five-reel Satan or “The Drama of Humanity . from Creation to the present time.”2 Which theater you and your friend choose could depend on several factors, but, as a fre- quent moviegoer, you could count on familiarity and the relative quality of the variety programs at three of these theaters, each changed daily and sup- plied by a different film service or distributor: the Casino (General Film), the Family (Universal), and the Unique (Mutual). You also could be attracted, however, by Satan’s promotion as a sensational historical epic or by its nov- elty as a special feature (from Europe, no less), since the only previous film of four reels or more to play in the city was Queen Elizabeth, with Sarah

  • Shibusawa Ei'ichi's Writings in Connection with Kiitsu Association
    On Religion and Morality: Shibusawa Ei’ichi's Writings in connection with Kiitsu Association（“ The Association Concordia”） KENJO Teiji At the Outset True to his nickname, “Father of Japanese capitalism,” it is said that Shibusawa Ei’ichi (1840-1931) was involved in over 500 commercial enterprises in his lifetime. However, on becoming a septuagenarian in June 1909, Shibusawa retires from some 60 companies in which he held executive positions. Further, on the occasion of turning 77 in 1916, he resigns as president of the Dai-Ichi Bank, after which he concentrates his energies on social work projects, movements spreading morality and private-level diplomacy ( 1 ). The time when entrepreneur-Shibusawa pulled out from the front line of economic affairs in which he was engaged for many years, namely the period from the Russo-Japanese War to the First World War, also marks an epoch in the history of Japanese thought. In other words, the conduct of the long-drawn Russo-Japanese War not only depleted national finance, but, city-centered civilian riots, or governmental response to the developments in labor movement and socialist thought also became pressing issues of the 1 Tsuchiya, Takao Shibusawa Ei’ichi, Yoshikawa Kōbunkan, 1989 1 times. Besides, foreign diplomacy centering on relations with the U.S.A. too deteriorated. Reinforcement of “National Morality” was thus set forth as an ideology to rectify those developments. For instance, the Boshin Shōsho Imperial rescript was issued in October 1908 by the government that found itself wanting by the Imperial Rescript on Education alone ( 2 ).
