Washington, Xov. 20. The treasury
dop.-ti tment today decided to admit tho

weie hi ought to this country by Dr. J.
A. Dowie, tho "divine hcalot" and tbo
founder of Zlon City, Ills., to teach
otheis the ait of laeemnking. This Is
a level sal of the actions of the Phlla
plil.i Immigration oillceis, who had de
cided that the Incemakers should not
be admitted lo this country.
Commissioner General Powdeilv, In
his letter to the commissioner of Im
migration at Philadelphia, 'llteotlng
that the laoemakeis be admitted, said:
"It appeals that It is the puiposo of
Tlr. John A. Dowie, who hud in ranged
with the appellants to come over, to
secuie their sei vices In the m.fiifnc
luie not only of lace, but also of thread
fiom which such lace Is to be made.
Although laeemnking hi some of its
hraiiehc'3 has been carried on In this
country for some years heretofoie, It
seems to have boon the practice to Im
port Ihe tin end used in such establish
ments. "The department is of opinion '.hat
said Industry Is a new one not estab

II is held that the imniigtants come
