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ed that they dare not be published
until the government is ready to act,
for the reports are but an arrangement
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;

was arrested and fined in the city of
Buda-Pesth when he violently objected
TO 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 immi-
grafton laws. The request for such
an appointment came through the
anti-yice societies of Philadelphia,
which were anxious to put 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

%V,N the TACT CnaL we were DOuHu
MMTMM on an outing; the girl that
NEWELL sailed on the water had
WIZ anchors embroidered on her
sleeve; the girl that rode a
wheel wore a much abbreviated skirt,
and when the automobile appeared, the
lady that motored-moted, moultered,
what dye-call-it-dres in a manner
to make conspicuous her particular
pleasure But now, perhaps because
outdoor life is an established fact, no
longer such novelty is attempted, the
dressing is more quiet. One notices it
particularly in automobile costuming.
Of course the leather characterizing
the wardrobe of many autoists differs
decidedly from ordinary fabrics, but
not all make use of the leather. One
sees in the parks and on the country
roads many autoists whose dress is
very like the usual travelling dress, and
one that speeds this summer may feel
herself appropriately attired in trim
tailored suit. The checks are especial
ly good, the materials and colors stand
much use and exposure. The small hats
of the season also are suitable, but
brim is needed to protect from glare.
One very pretty checked costume no
ticed was a short skirt of black and
white wool worn with silk waist of
the same combination and short sack
coat. The three pieces had pipings OF
red.
BY the way, in spite of Partisan pro-
test. short skirts continues very smart
for general wear. AS the season pro-
crosses, one sees more and more OF
them, and they seem to have added
style to recommend them. The best
have short coats or boleros, long coat
very rarely looks well with an ankle
length skirt.
To turn to piazza frocks and those
for wear in the house. Our illustra-
ton pictures simple and smart waist
of gray-blue pongee, with a little trim
ming of lace and insertion. Two deep
tucks at the shoulders give the desired
fulness. the sleeve is full to the elbow,
where it is met by deep cuff, which
must be carefully fitted to give the
proper set. Frills finish sleeves at the
wrist now, it being the day of dainti-
ness and lingerie softness.
White linen suits and colored linen
suits are numerous, seen oftener in the
form of jacket and skirt than in the
shirt waist popular for two years back.
To wear with the white costume are
charming black and white hats and
white wells. The gloves should be
white and cool looking, the shoes may
be either white or black. The belt
may be of white kid or linen; for the
palmer frocks ribbon is not so good.

poor, there would have been a general
movement throughout Europe to ship
all native paupers to the United
States as the easiest way in which
to relieve the communities on which
they now constitute burden. Such
a movement actually obtained some
Roadway in England with the opening
of the recent rate war between the
Atlantic steamship lines, and during
the interval between the first sale of
tickets at reduced rates and the &C
ton of the American authorities in de-
porting such assisted persons.
Naturalization Frauds.
::'The present system of issuing nat
uralization papers in the United States
is prolific source of fraud in the emf
grant traffic An American naturaliza-
ton certificate carries On its face no
means of identifying the real owner.
His name is merely stated. An origi-
nal or certified copy of one of these
papers can be sent to an intending
emigrant in sny foreign country and
used by him to secure passport on
the ground that the certificate is his
own and he, as an American citizen,
is entitled to enter the United States
regardless of his possible undesirable
ty under the immigration law. AS a
rule the alleged citizen speaks some
language requiring the services of an
interpreter, generally of limited in
telligence, and careful cross-examina-
ton is impossible. When his applica-
ton for a passport has been approved
by the American consul nothing is
left for the embassy to do but to grant
a passport upon these representations,
which passport guarantees admission
to the United States.
another form of abuse is the i'm
portation of women from the Levant
and elsewhere by naturalized Amer
lean citizens. All these women are
required to do is to state under oath
that they are the wives of the men
sending for them and they are allowed
to depart for the United States with
out restriction, becoming American
citizens by virtue of their husbands
| naturalization.
eff they are refused transportation
because of coming within the prohib-
tied classification of the American i'm
migration law they send to the United
States for a certified copy of their al
legged husbands naturalization papers
and secure passport in that man
ner There is no proof of marriage
under the present system. Should the
United States government decide to re-
quire passport from each immigrant,
certified by the officials of the land
of his nativity, this abuse could be
stopped"
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Braun, as
well as others well versed in immi-
grant conditions in this country, that
over 100000 aliens come here who, al
though they may be able to earn a
living, are yet of bad character, bad
antecedents or of diseased blood.
Their coming benefits nobody but the
steamship companies.

lace. American mothers
might take valuable lesson from this.
The season is marked by the num-
bers of print frocks for wee maids,
print material that for some time
was relegated to servants. 1t washes
beautifully, is very strong, the ideal
stuff out of which to fashion everyday
frocks. Often these are made very
plainly, the trimming one of those
big collars, made of all-over embroid-
cry, or nainsook edged with torchon
lace. Get the right shape and fit, and
one need not spend great deal on the
material.
For young misses, there is nothing
better than a street suit of light gray
wool, the skirt pleated, the coat a
semi-loose one. With a variety of
waists, here are any number of cos
tunes, enough even to satisfy the bud
ding woman. With a plain shirt waist
in the morning, the suit looks tailory
and trim; with a lingerie waist in the
afternoon, it is quite dress-up af-
fair.
For frocks to wear on the cool days
of summer we find demi-season models
of mohair, and lightweight wool plaids.
Pique, also, is a material that is warm
enough for quite low temperature
We observed one mohair dress that
was exceedingly pretty; it was of blue,
with a pointed yoke smoked in lighter
blue, the belt was white, embroidered
in blue, the skirt was shocked three
inches at the waist line, and the
sleeves were shocked from elbow to
wrist.
A dainty little frock for a six-year-
old was of white nainsook, fine and
sheer 1t was on the Empire order,
hung straight back and front from a
square yoke of embroidery, the joining
was band of beading. Pink ribbons
were run through the beading, the
stockings and hair ribbons were OF
pink, the shoes white. The hat was OF
white horsehair and lace frills, about
the crown were wreathed baby roses in
pink and white. 1t was not startlingly
new, but very dainty and fresh.

900. Learning that this agreement
was about to be signed, Mr.. Braun
waited until it was concluded and
then bribed it out of ministerial hands
for the pitiful sum of $l04. He sent
cable to Mr.. Sargent and from that
day the plot has been thickening to
destroy his usefulness in Hungary.
Being Hungarian, born in Buda-
Pesth, he was invaluable in that por-
ton of Europe. From the day of that
cablegram he was logged, he has since
learned
con the night of January last Mr..
Braun and l were the speakers be-
fore the Twentieth Century club in
Brooklyn and I was accompanied to
and from the meeting by one of my
agents. The next morning he report
ed to me that Mr.. Braun was being
trailed by man whom he had adj
dressed in German, French and Ital-
ian without getting him to understand.
I passed the information on at once
and the conclusion reached was that
the New York end of the Russian third
section was looking after Mr.. Braun,
but it now appears that at that time
he was Swallowed night and day by
Hungarian agents, so that even though
he took unusual precautions to guard
knowledge of his sailing on this third
tour the Hungarian police must have
been apprised at once.
ION the oath he was expected to
obtain the records of the deportation
of criminals at the expense of the
Hungarian government from an official
in a town near Buda-Pesth. My cor
respondents have not informed me as
to the result, but suffice it to say the
advisory letter which he sent on or
about the first of the month must have
been something we'll worth the while.
The question is: Did the Hungarian
police get it and what ammunition will
it supply the Hungarian government
to reply to the protest of the United
States against the tampering with
Braun's mail? He is expected in the
north of Europe on the 18th, but will
probably await the outcome of this
peculiar tangle."
1t is the custom of the department
of commerce and labor to print the
reports of it's various commissioners
and agents in the annual report of the
commissioner in chief.
Only portion of Mr.. Braun's papers
appeared in this years report. They
were not even given to the senate,
They were simply turned over by Com
missioner Sargent, copies were laid on
the presidents desk and then they
were apparently pigeon-holed, as moth
ing has been heard from them since.
Grave Dangers to This Country.
Following are interesting extracts
from Mr.. Braun's report:
1.-TWO grave dangers threaten the
people of the United States from the
present emigration movement. The
first of these, and the one more inn
mediate in its possible effects, is the
danger Of diseases such as are common
to the masses Of the people in many

A LATE WAIST.

Stout women that have felt 1t incum-
bent upon them to avoid white, this
season may with impunity indulge in
it, the models are so we'll adapted to
them. They fit fiat about the hips, but
not with exaggerated "habit back"
which but accentuates both avordu-
pois and angularity; the coats are on
the sack order and all semi-loose, fall
in straight lines; the sleeves are
smallish.

SIMON WOLF EXPLAINS
That He Appealed to Presidents Per-
sonaIity In Seeking Aid for Jews.

Washington, Nov. 10.-At q meeting
| held in this city. today, about $4,000 was
subscribed for the relief of the Jews in
Russia. Committees were appointed to
solicit further subscriptions.
Simon Wolf, the former president of
the BNai Birth Society, said, today,
regarding his letter of appeal to the
President:
My letter to President Roosevelt
must not be regarded as direct APP
peal &c the government to interfere in
the internal affairs of Russia. Presi
dent Roosevelt has a personal side. He
possesses power and influence wholly
apart and distinct from that which is
vested in him as the Chief Magistrate
of the United States.
when he settled the coal strike he
made it clear to all that he was acting
on his own responsibility and at his
own volition. The same was true of the
part he played at the Portsmouth peace
conference.
knowing and realizing these facts,
l have therefore. taken the liberty of
writing this letter to him in the hope
that he may be able, through the force
of his own striking personality, genius
talent and power, to bring about some
concert of action on the part of men
as great as himself. to put an end
to the massacre of the Jews in Russia.
