ed. They have never been examined
save by three or four heads of i'm
portant government departments, and
by the president, but sufficient has
leaked out to enable us to give the
gist OF emigration conditions abroad,
as outlined by Mr.. Braun as follows:
Tens of thousands of foreigners are
permitted to emigrate to this coun-
try without the fumigation of their
baggage as provided by law
The organized gangs of crooks who
connive at this evasion stamp the emf
grants belongings with counterfeit
government labels and a counterfeit
United States consular stamp, indicat-
ing that their baggage has been prop
erly fumigated
These counterfeits are accepted at
Ellis Island without question, and lug
gage from European centers, scourged
with bubonic plague, cholera, ira
choma, smallpox and the germs of
deadly fevers, is permitted to enter
our ports daily.
For this counterfeiting service the
Italian gangs in particular charge five
lire, or one dollar.
In several of the European countries
it is the custom to promise convicted
criminals immunity from punishment
if they will emigrate to this country
or if their relatives will send them
here.
100000 Immigrants.
The fiscal year will end June 80, and
by that time 100000 will have passed
through Ellis Island and other immi-
grafton depots within the past IL
months. The reports submitted by the
inspectors abroad show conclusively
that out Of this number one in every
ten is either criminal or is otherwise
an undesirable citizen for the United
States, and these undesirable citizens
are coming to our shores either by
the aid and encouragement of Euro
pean governments, or under the
''padrone" system by which an unde-
sirable class of men, women and chill
dren are brought to this country I'M

Washington.-The United States a
penal colony of the Baltic states.
The United States dumping ground
for the paupers of southern Europe.
The United States the Mecca of
thousands of immoral Hungarian
women.
There are in the desks of govern
ment officials in Washington reports
containing evidence to prove the above
statements that are SO strongly word
ed that they dare not be publishe
until the government is ready to act,
for the reports are but an arraignment
OF the governments of southern Europe
for completely in wholesale schemes for
the violation Of United States immi-
grafton laws.
These reports are received from the
most trustworthy sources, one Of
which is from a government agent,
paid to investigate the conditions
abroad and whose persistency in that
direction has so aroused at least one
European nation that it's paid spies
have followed him all over Europe;
whose mail has been rifled, and who
was arrested and fined in the city of
Buda-Pesth when he violently objected
70 this procedure.
Out of this later incident will grow
a vigorous effort on the part of the
government to so change the immigra-
ton laws as to put stop to the dump
ing of Europe's undesirable classes
upon our shores.
An Investigator Selected.
Marcus Braun, born in Hungary,
though now a citizen of the United
States, was selected by President
Roosevelt to act as a special agent
of the United States in investigating
the wholesale violations of our mimi
grafton laws. The request for such
an appointment came through the
anti-vice societies of Philadelphia,
which we're anxious to put a stop to
the white slave" traffic by which
thousands of Hungarian women were
being sent to the United States for
immoral purposes. Mr.. Braun's in

Horror Of the Situation.

Horror Of the Situation.
The awful horror Of this situation
may best be realized when it is known
that immigrants land in this country
at the rate of thousands daily.
In 1903 immigrants from RUSSIA
Slavonia and Poland came in at. the
rate of one asminlte for every WORKING
hour of Ellis Island.
During the last fiscal year underslr-
able immigrants arrived at the rate OF
two per minute, tens of thousands OF
them criminals, tens Of thousands OF
dissolute women, and hordes OF them
with diseased baggage bearing coun-
terfeit stamps of certification.
Broughton Brandenburg, the we'll
known investigator of immigration
who was on the continent pursuing
lines of work parallel to Mr.. Braun's
gave the following statement to the
New York World regarding the causes
leading to the arrest of that investi-
gator in Buda-Pesth:
s'It seems to me as though the Hun
garian secret police have got hold OF a
report, or, rather, an advisory fore
cast of his formal report, which Mr.
Braun should have mailed from Buda-
Pesth about the time of his arrest.
.These advisory letters he has al
ways sent at frequent intervals. They
contain opinions and fragmentary
facts, which are usually eliminated in
the formal report he makes on his
return from his tour. l fancy the Hun
garian police would be more edifiec
by such letter than by the report
even though the last report made was
of so sensational a character that aftel

copies One is in the hands of Mr.
Sargent, another in the care of Secre
tary Metcalf, and a third on the presi
dents desk, while the fourth, retained
by Mr.. Braun, is in New York in very
safe hands.

woman's wardrobe are particularly good in all the
