sTRICTER LANDING RULES.
NaturalfHed Citizens Must Give Up
Passports to Boarding Officers.


Passports to Boarding Officers.
The New York Tribune of today says:
Beginning tomorrow naturalized citizens
who arrive at this port on the transatlan-
tic liners must not only present their pass
ports citizenship papers to the boarding
officers. but they must give up their pa
pers to these officials. The papers will be
taken to Ellis island. and after being ex-
amined will be mailed to those to whom
they belong. The boarding officers look for
trouble in the enforcement Of this rule.
Persons born in this country but travelling
in the steerage, will have to answer many
questions under the new regulation. On
Monday blanks will be given to the board
ing officers to fill out in these cases, de-
scribing the persons and telling where they
were born and many more facts regarding
them.
This stringency, it is said. is in a large
measure due to the recent investigation into
the methods of landing immigrants.
1t was stated yesterday by officials at Ell
lis Island that this investigation had been
completed and the report forwarded to
Washington 1t was also said that ten Of
ficals had been implicated. The investiga-
tion was the result Of the attempt of a
steward on a French line steamer to bribe
Boarding Ofhcer Junker to allow a number
of steerage passengers to land at the pier
for a consideration. After the arrest OF the
steward 1t was charged that the custom of
thus landing immigrants had been carried
on for some time and bribe money paid to
officials.
According to a report, 1t is said one OF
the men implicated Is an officer who carried
the money higher up"
