ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

New YORK, June 25.-The Emigration
Commissioners held . special meeting to
consider measures to prevent pauper emf
grafton from Great Britain. This action is
called for in view of the large arrivals Of
psuper emigrants. Yesterday Commits
sioner Stephenson said he had procured
afidavits from several immigrants, show
ing they had been inmates Of poor-houses in
Ireland, and induced to come to this
country by the %workhouse masters, from
whom they had received passage tickets and
small sums of money. The Commissioners
considers the landing of paupers largely
due to the laxity Of management at Castle
Garden, and recommends Inspectors. After
further discussion it was resolved to in
struct the Secretary Of the Board to detain
Gil immigrants proved to be sent here by
funds furnished by the British Govern
ment, and to appoint s Commissioner OF
the Board to wait on the Collector and pre-
sent the afidavits taken in regard to such
cases, and ask that steamship companies
who brought such immigrants here be
compelled TO return them to the port from
which they came at their own expense.
While the meeting was in progress the
Commissioners were informed that the
steamer Anchoria had just arrived with
immigrants whose passage was paid by the
British Government and were paupers. 1t
was resolved not to allow the Anchoria's
passengers to land until the Inspector had
| made . thorough investigation. The Com
missioners express themselves as determ-
! ined to put a stop to the landing Of pauper
| immigrants from foreign countries. The
Commissioners laid the matter before Col
lector Robertson, who promised to AXE de-
cisive action at once.

and u Rope.
PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-The corpse Of
Jacob Steltzer. q paper bag manufacturer,
who has been missing since Friday last,
was found in a state Of decomposition in
the second story of 1928 Germantown
Avenue this morning. Steltzer had com.
mitted suicide. He was q German, about
So years old, and is said to have served
with distinction in the Prussian army. Al
one time he had a prosperous trade in bag
manufacture, but had become impover'
ished through business competition. De-
spondency resulted, and, as his little stock
was gradually depleted until his store was
almost empty, his mind brooded on suicide,
He had creditors, and was in debt for rent,
A family who occupied part Of the dwell
ing detected o s~ickening smell in passing q
second-story room, where Steltzer slept
and informed the police. Lieut.. Balee and
two patrolmen broke down the door, and
Steltzer's body was found in q partly re-
cumbent position on the floor. He had
made q moose Of Irvine, which he placed
about his neck and q bedpost. With a
mallet in one hand and a hammer in the
other, he then beat two holes in the side
OF his head until he tainted. He then fell,
and strangulstion was caused by the tight
ening of the cord from the weight OF his
body. The floor aud carpet were blood
stained.
