fore the Twentieth Century club in

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.

Checking the Lottery Evil.

The secret service officials believe
that the sale of lottery tickets in this
country has been effectually broken
up by number of arrests and con.
fiscation of tickets at different points.
The headquarters of the lottery com.

prominently identified with the con.
cern have been arrested. and arrests
have been made in half a dozen diff
ferent different cities of the country
of people who received shipments of
tickets. Secre. service agents have
done n.cst of tho work, but where
there were ITO agents the arrests have
been made by United States marshals.

was started by the district attorney
of San Francisco, and he has been

ceives such ticket is as liable as the

is only fair to say that nearly every
other state in the union is represented
during the years business.
o. Another form of abuse is the i'm.
portation of women from the Levant
and elsewhere by natunalized Amer
lean citizens. All these women are
required to do is to state under oath
that they are the wives of che 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.
IF they are refused transportation
because Of coming within the prohib-
tied classification of the American i'm

Bogus American Citizens.
In the city of Jerusalem Mr.. Braun
found over 1000 American citizens"
the vast majority of whom, being He
brews, live there for religious pur-
poses. These alleged citizens, al
though they enjoy and avail them
selves Of the high privilege and protec-
ton of American citizenship. are in
truth and in fact not Americans at all,
and quite a number of them have be-
come naturalized by fraud. In some
instances the fraud by which these
people became naturalized was so
fagrantly apparent that Mr.. Braun
was induced thereby to procure,
through the United States consul,
! some of the certificates of naturaliza-
ton and United States passports, as
we'll as other papers and documents of
those suspected.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Braun, as
we'll as others we'll versed in immi.
grant conditions in this country, that
over 100000 aliens come here who, al
though they may be able to earn
living, are yet Of bad character, bad
antecedents or Of diseased blood.
Their coming benefits nobody but the
steamship companies.

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.
1T has been suggested that nat
uralization certificates, when issued in
the United States, should carry upon
their face either photograph or a
description by measurements and
marks of the party to whom the GER
tificate is issued and that each certi-
fed copy should be as complete in lite
usefulness as the original. l am con-
WINGED that by some such method the
element of fraud in the issuing of pass
ports abroad could be reduced to the
minimum.
Il am informed that the embassy in
Rome in single year issues as many
as $500 passports upon the presenta-
ton of naturalization certificates or
copies thereof by Italians claiming to
be American citizens. A large pro-
portion of these come from West
chester county, New York, though it

Roosevelt in the matter and was d.
rected also to make inquiry into the
sending of paupers and criminals to
this country. He made startling re-
port on this subject year ago which
never was published.
Many startling disclosures nave been
made in these reports. Among these
things is the fact that if every penal
offender in Jail in this country were
released tomorrow the jails could be
reflled to their utmost capacity by
the criminals sent to this country by
the official brooms of European gov
ernments.
Horror Of the Situation.
The awful horror of this situation
may best be realized when tits 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 minute for every working
hour of Ellis Island.
During the last fiscal year undersir-
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 certidcation.
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:
ut 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..
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1905-06-22

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 l:
months. The reports submitted by the
inspectors abroad show conclusively
that out of this number one in every
ten is either a 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 un
der contract by individuals. These
"bosses," or padrones, as they arr
called, hire out the immigrants ane
collect their wages, paying them JUS
enough to keep body and soul alive
The workers are thus virtual slaves.
Mr.. Braun was sent to Europe pri
marily to investigate the white slave
traffic on the complaint of anti-vic'
societies in New York and Philadel
phia, that thousands of women arr
being sent here every year for i'm
moral purposes, chiefly from Hungary
and that the Hungarian government
winks at the practice. Mr.. Braun re
ceived verbal instructions from Mr.
