Testimony Relative to Immigrants
Landing at New York.

NEW YORK, July 26.-At to-day's
session of the subcommittee of the
United States Industrial Commission
Roman Dobbler, Chief of the Boarding
Inspectors of immigration at the
barge office, testified that his expert
ence was that clerks coming to the
United States in second cabin with
$40 or $50 were the first to become
public charges.
The witness prepared table showing
the comparison between passengers In
the second cabin and the steerage. On
such lines as the North German Lloyd.
Cunard, American, Anchor and White
Star lines the number of saloon pas
sengers almost equaled the arrivals
in the steerage. In vessels from Medi-
terranean ports the steerage passengers
greatly exceeded the other classes.
Mormons, he said, always came on ves-
sells of the Anchor Line from Glasgow
in the second cabin.
His figures showed that while 2,OS5
passengers came from Italian ports in
the steerage, only twenty-five came as
cabin passengers.
Mr.. Dobbler said that many persons
came in the second cabin in order to
avoid the rigid scrutiny at the barge
Office. He believed many of the new
arrivals had been coached as to their

America and Great Britain.

LONDON, July 26.-The United
States ambassador, Joseph H. Choate,
speaking at a luncheon of the Staf-
fordshire Agricultural Society show at
Wolvertham to-day, said that he be-
lieved that no question could ever
arise between the United States and
Great Britain to interrupt the constant
peace which had held them together
during the last eighty-five years. They
would, he hoped, never leave each
other in the lurch, and he expressed
the belief that they would cultivate
the same spirit of civilization, justice
and freedom which is the real founda-
ton of both Governments.
