UNPRECEDENTED IMMIGRATION
FOR MARCH

News comes from New York that
arrivals of immigrants at that port
alone for the month of March amount
ed to $1,000. This figure is given out
with the statement that the number
of arrivals during March, 1904. was
but 47.S77. We assume that the
classification was the same in both
cases and that there was rigid ex.
clusion of all hut immigrants. Keep.
Ing this in mind, comparison with
the complete returns given by the
government which contain travelling
aliens other than immigrants makes
The figure for this year all the more
astonishing, Such comparison eX-
tending over several years is made
possible by the following table of ar
rivals for the port OF New York alone
and for all ports:
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1905-04-20

In 1901 the total for all ports was
5000; in 1900 it was 49,43l. Taking
he whole range of figures, 1t will he
seen that the New York record for
March, 1905. exceeds the totals for
other years even though ii is made
On the narrower basis of strict class
Ification. The fact is tnat there is
nothing to approach it, and it appears
also that in spite of the great increase
over March, 1904. the number of de-
portations is less now than 1t was
then. A New York paper explains
This by saying that the steamship
companies are handling sucn IA tre-
mendous business that they will ac-
cept only such aliens as are almost
sure to be passed at Ellis Island

Grill.
DOESN'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT
Official Probe Chiefly Notable for
What 1t Doesn't Discover.
Proper Management Is Assumed and
solvency the Only Matter In
vestigated Germans
More Exacting.

New York, Dec. 22.-Francis Hen
bricks, superintendent of insurance Of
New York stat was the chief wit
ness before the legislative committee
on insurance investigation and testi-
fed that the examinations Of insurance
companies by his department are made
to ascertain only the solvency of the
companies, and that no investigation is
made into the extravaganza of the
management of a company, or into the
salaries paid to officers, so long as the
company is able to pay it's obligations.
No investigation is made into the COM
missions paid to agents, the system OF
"loading" on the premiums, the adj
Vancing of loans to agents, Or loans to
directors.
He Went According to Custom.
The employment of kinspeople Of
officers in high positions is not inquired
into. This has long been the custom
Of the department, Hendricks said, and
he declared further that he personally
knew little or nothing about the vari-
Gus examinations made, as they were
entrusted to Isaac Vanderpoel, the chief
examiner Of the department.
Must Trust the Companies.
Hendricks said he had supposed
these companies were successfully
managed. He said: IF the insurance
department should take one of these
companies and examine it thoroughly
as to it's management they would have
to go through every letter. and it would
take five or six men year. You must
leave the management of the compa-
MES to the directors. Half of what has
been discovered here, would never be
apparent to us" Hendricks said that
his department spent last year about
S137 900 and received in fees and pay
ments $2S7, 1875, which was paid into
the state treasury. To make exam
nations that would bring out such in
formation as has been gathered by the
legislative committee, the witness said,
would require ten more examiners ard
an additional appropriation Of from
$4,000 to 100000. He thought, how
ever, he could get the appropriation ii
he asked for it.
