William Wiehe of the contract labor bu-

No. The person who gave you such

MORE WITNESSES FROM THE I'M
MIGRATION BUREAU EXAMINED.
statement Prepared Giving Figures
from the Different Departments
of the Service.

New York, July 26.--At today's session
Of the subcommittee of the United States
Industrial commission Roman Dobbler
chief Of the board of inspectors of immi
grafton at large, testified that his eNpe-
Renee was that clerks coming to the
United States in the second cabin with SAC
or $50 were the first to become public
charges.
The witness prepared table showing
the comparative arrivals OF passengers in
the first and second cabin and steerage.
On such lines as the North German Lloyd,
Cunard, American, Anchor and White Star,
the number of saloon passengers almost
equaled the arrivals in the Storage. In
vessels from the Mediterranean ports,
however, the Storage passengers greatly
exceeded the other classes. The Mormons,
be said, always came on the vessels OF the
Anchor line from Glasgow in the second
cabin. His figures showed that while 1883
passengers came from Italian ports in the
Storage, only twenty-five came as CABIN
passengers.
Mr. Dobbler said many persons came in
the second cabin in order to avoid the
rigid scrutiny at the barge office. He be-
heved many of the new arrivals had been
coached as to the answers to questions
put to them here.
Dr. Lorenzo Ullo, legal adviser of the
immigration bureau, said there was great
uilhcuity in enforcing the laws owing to
