NEW YORK, April 17.-Senator William E.
Chandler. chairman of the Senate committee
on immigration, is in this city. He said to a
reporter yesterday, that he came here to find
out whether there was any need of taking
testimony in reference to the misconduct of
steamship companies concerning immigra-
tion laws. Speaking of the new law Mr..
Chandler says it defines more accurately the
classes of immigrants to be excluded and ex-
pressly requires more stringent and special
investigation Of cases of assisted immigrants
Its penalty clauses are more definite. 1t will
m axe steamship companies stop the abuses
of which they have been guilty, of bringing
in people simply to get passage money. Mr.
Chandler believes the law is very efficien,
and will be fruitful of the be ST results.
