Mr.. Sargent, who came here from Montreal. said
that while in Canada he had made an inVestiga-
ton into the increased immigration into the United

there was growing practice the part of for
egn ticket agents to send their COuntrymen across
the Atlantic to Canada, and thence into the United

grants the laws of the United States the
agents convince them that the best way to get
