Responsibilities Divided.

Commissioner of Immigration Frank
p Sargent argued before the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce that the Bureau of Immigra-
ton would be greatly benefited and the
immigration laws could be more effec-
tualy enforced if the bureau should be
transferred to the proposed Department
of Commerce.
Mr. Sargent said his bureau must now
rely largely upon the customs collectors
for the enforcement of the immigration
laws, which arrangement, he said, is not
satisfactory to either the collectors or to
his bureau, for the reason that embar-
rsssmeut is occasioned to the officers
called Oh to enforce customs laws and
immigration laws at the same time.
