FRAUDULENT NATURALIZATION
Thousands of Papers Sold to Arriving
Immigrants.

1t was stated by immigration officials this
afternoon that the thousands of fraudulent
naturalization papers sold to arriving i'm
migrants at New York had not apparently
been issued to aid the admission of immi-
grants. Their primary object was to per-
init male immigrants to secure work on the
subway and other improvements In Nev-
York. Under the laws of New York only
citizens could work on improvements Of
that kind, and to secure compliance with
the law bureaus were started up for the
dishing out of fraudulent naturalization pa
pers. immigration officials. however are
watching the outcome of the arrests and
prosecutions. as if such papers should get
into general use, immigrants could send
them back to friends in Europe for use in
gaining admission to this country.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service has re-
ceived information that at least 5000 aliens
were given these certificates and charged
exorbitant prices for them, too. In some
cases much as $50 was paid for a fraudu-
lent certificate. Secret service agents are
at work in number of large cities. They
are tearing up the papers when found.
Prosecutions will be conducted in as many
cases possible. Two printing companies
were printing and turning out the papers
for sale.

WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
Colorado's Governor Disinclined to Give
Damages to Ratcliffe.

Although the State Department has not
yet received the answer of the governor of
Colorado to its request for reparation for
the destruction of the property of the Eng
lishman Ratcliffe, the officials have taken
note of the newspapers report of the gov
ernors declination to entertain a claim
for damages. So there is nothing for the
department to do but to appeal to Con-
gress for an appropriation to.pay the claim.
and that will probably be done at the next
session. .'-'
This claim has been pending for some
time The department has practically sat
isfied itself that 1t is just obligation and
that to refuse to pay 1t would be vio-
lation of the rights conferred by the treaty
between the United States and Great Bri-
tain upon the citizens of each OF these
countries resident in the other.
Ratcliffe was an English owner OF fish
hatchery in Colorado. whose property was
DESTROYED and who was expelled from the
state by mob violence as the outcome OF a
bitter struggle to exclude trespassers on
his property.

1t plain how at times when he was so dis
posed he would hold certain expenditures
illegal and extravagant, and disallow same,
In spite of the decision Of the Supreme
Court he quotes. stating he has no power
to review, revise, or altar items Nor does
Mr. Castle explain how he legally advised
Mr.. Willett that it would be impossible to
recover under the bond of Mr. Sherman
P. Bristow the $500 shortage at Ponce,
and accepted small sum In compromise,
on account of the decision of the Supreme
Court, that Porto Rico was held by the
military, and that our civil and criminal
laws did not extend thereto. Since then
Mr.. Willett died and his account had been
closed some two or three years previous to
this decision.
The statement that the accounts in Mr..
Gilmer's possession were constantly need
ed by the auditor is absurd to those IA
miliar with such matters. The accounts
were closed, but balances carried forward
upon the books provided and the papers
filed away for preservation only"
1t was stated yesterday by a friend of
Mr.. Gilmer that the paper which he is ac-
cused by Controller Tracewell of abstract
Ing was not official paper at ALL nos one
that should have been included with ac
counts. 1t was simply the rough draft of
a letter Mr.. Gilmer prepared about the
working plan for the investigation of the
Washington city post office. Ordinarily
the paper would have been thrown in the
waste basket but Mr.. Gilmer had made
some personal memoranda on it, he pre-
served it. The copy of the letter itself was
of course, kept in Controller Tracewell's s
bureau.

Prosperity Measured by Iron Consump.

United States Consul General Frank H.
Mason at Berlin, Germany, in report to
the State Department under date of April
"a said that it is recognized fact in mod
ern economics that the prosperity and
standing of a country among the nations of
the world can in most cases be ascertained
from it's per capita consumption of iron.
This is particularly true of countries like
Germany, Great Britain and the United
States, whose manufacturing industries have
been greatly developed. Nothing could bet
ter illustrate this, he says, than the statis-
tics of iron consumption and production in
Germany from 1871, the first year of the
empire, down to and including 1902. A sig
nficant fact in the present economic stua-
ton Is that for every two pounds of iron
made in Germany in 1902 only one pound
was actually consumed at home, the other
being either stored for future use or ex-
ported
