FAvoRs THE LODGE BILL.
Herman j. SchuItcis Before the In
dustriaI Commission.

Mr Herman j Schulteis, former mem
Der of the European immigration Com
mission. appeared before the Industrial
Commission yesterday.
He took issue with former immigration
Commissioner General StUmp's statement
that 'illiterate immigrants were the
most necessary for our rough work. and
proceeded TO controyert both propositions.
He advocated the Lodge illiteracy bill as
the best possible means for sitting the un-
desirable from the masses which have been
induced to come to our shores during the
past decade, and urged the commission TO
report upon the migration question before
the adjournment of Congress, il being
the first subject for investigation mention
ed in the act creating the commission,
which is empowered 10 report from time
10 time.
He also advocated an increase in the
head tax so as to make the service self
sustaining and obviatc the necessity for
large appropriations for buildings at Ellis
Island He urged a more rigid inspection
service especially on the Canadian border
and more efficient system for collecting
the head tax and verifying steamship
manfests. He considered our immigration
statistics unreliable and instanced the last
census reports, which numbered the lta!-
ian immigrants at $4,000 when they ac-
iuallS numbered over ovv'vvv' ft Hldlh-
tanned that the foreign port statistics of
immigrants leaving for this country and
our figures OF those arriving could only b.
harmonized on the supposition that about
One-third Of them fell overheard In transit.
He was invited by the commission 10 as
sist them in the further examination Of
this question.
Mr.. Schulteis said the laws forbidding
the admission of pauper and criminal i'm
migrants were very lax; that the surveil
/ lance al the points of entry were loose
and that European experts amuse them
selves over the way in which they dodge
American immigration regulations. He
said that Turkey, Austria and Germany
are very rigid in the enforcement of their
laws forbidding the entry of foreigners to
fheir soil.

mendctions to Congress.


The District Commissioners yesterday
recommended to Congress an amendment
to the bill before that body relative TO the
disposition of certain money now in the
Treasury of the United States and TO

assessment certificates. Their recon-
mendation is as follows
The object OF section > OF the hill is TO trans

act authorizing their issue. As i comparatively
large amount Of money viii also be derived from
future collections of the special improvement
taxes referred 10. The Commissioners recommend
that the bill be modified to provide that
