SITTING IMMIGRANTS
AN IMPORTANT TASK
More Strenuous Efforts in
That Direction.
TO EMPLOY PREVENTIVES

Since the transfer of the Immigration
Bureau from the Treasury to the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor Sec
retary Cortelyou and Commissioner
General Sargent have directed their en-
ergies to rigid enforcement Of the
immigration restriction law which be-
came effective on March 3 last. and are
giving all the time possible TO the con-
sideration OF the many problems that
. arise under this statute
The provision under the new law whicn
increases the head tax on aliens from 81
to 81 is important. since it puts more
money at the command OF the Immigra-
tion Bureau than It has had heretofore.
thus enabling Mr.. Sargent TO make the
work more efficient.
Mr. SargeIt's Investigations.
The section which enables Mr.. sar-
mt to deport any alien who has ar
rived within two years and has become
public charge has caused him to in
vestigate the charitable institutions Of
the States and Territories to ascertain
what public charges are aliens who
have arrived in the past TWO years. The
expense Of this deportation falls on the
steamship companies who brought the
aliens here, and since. in the six months
ended June 30. $50 immigrants who were
landed In New York were sent home be-
cause they were likely TO become public
charges. it is obvious that the steam
ship companies viii be careful in re-
gard TO the condition OF aliens they land
here
Aliens TO the number of .775 were de-
ported during the last fiscal year be-
cause they were suffering from loath-
some diseases. That they were sent
away is fortunate. but their having been
herded in the steerages of the steam
ships with other immigrants makes IL
probable that a goOdy number of their
companions have developed disease
since landing in America.
For instance, in New York. according
to the reports. there are $4,000 persons
suffering from trachoma. d disease Of
the eyes, and in Brooklyn there are
15,o00 suffering from the same malady.
Examinations of Aliens.
To guard against this Mr.. Sargent Will
attempt to have surgeons Of the Marine
Hospital Service examine aliens en-
barking at foreign ports. He believes
there is statutory authority for such
procedure. The healthy immigrants will
be separated from the unhealthy'before
being allowed 10 embark for this coun-
try. and this viii lessen. not only the
number Of those deported annually. but
Will prevent. those in good health from
contracting disease on board ship.
The Commissioner General is also in
clined TO the belief that If Congress
would set an age limit upon Incoming
aliens II would lessen the number of
those who become public charges. Many
OF those advanced in age soon become
public charges. whereas. IL a limit were
set, only healthy, abIe-bodied aliens
would be able to enter and these are
always desirable.
