had their houses broken open, were
dragged out and beaten until they did
divide. At last one of them secured
a citizenship paper from his brother
in Chicago and on the next occasion
of a police visit he appealed to the
consul, DR.. Merrill, and the police were
set back. Immediately the demand for
American citizenship papers raised the
market as high as 500 per certificate,
and now the colony is enjoying the full
privileges of American protection,
though many of them have never seen
the Atlantic.
Caught in the Act.
Perhaps the most sensational thing
in the suppressed portion of the last
report was Mr.. Braun's presentation
of true copies of the secret agreement
between the Hungarian government
and the Cunard line, in which the
Hungarian government agreed to de-
liver to the Cunard line at the port
of Fiume all the emigrants from Hun
gary at fixed price.
"The agreement read that no other
line should be allowed to compete and
that there should be a minimum of
10000 the first year. 1t is presumed
that that agreement is at present op-
erative and if l remember correctly
next year the minimum is to be 100,-

European countries, but which ars as
yet comparatively unknown in the
United States. The second grave dan
ger referred to is the dumping by
European countries of their paupers
and dependents upon the American
people.
THAT this danger is tangible is
shown in the fact that q majority OF
the deportations are for the reason
that the persons involved are likely
to become public charges. The annual
reports of the bureau showing the
amount of money possessed by each
immigrant when he lands demonstrate
the fact that very small percentage

to guarantee self-support until able to
create an income. Whether possessed
Of resources in the shape of relatives
and friends or not, it is evident that

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 $104. He sent
q cable to M. 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.
"On the night of January last Mr..
Braun and l were the speakers be-
fore the Twentieth Century club in
Brooklyn and l 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 a man whom he had ad-
dressed in German, French and Ital-
ian without getting him to understand.
| 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 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
Brauns 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 i'm
mediate in it's possible effects, is the
danger of diseases such as are common
to the masses of the people in many

ef1t. In one community In Hungary
where he conducted Investigations he
found that in the past three years
ee0 prisoners had been liberated either
at the expiration of their sentence or
before their terms were served, and
that the police records showed 1870
or them to have been sent to the
United States. In connection with this
q member of the Hungarian parlia-
ment, in making speech, deplored
the laxness of the government in al
lowing criminals who had been de-
ported to the United States to re-
turn with their pockets filed and wits
sharpened for further nefarious opera
lions.
"Mr. Braun also made specific disclo-
sures concerning institutions near
Buda-Pesth from which parties of
pauper children were sent in the care
of fictitious parents, paid for the job.
When this family was safely passed
through Ellis Island the father and
mother divided their ready-made
progeny, and, going from city to city
abandoned the little ones on the
streets to be picked up by the police
and placed in American asylums.
"Of violations of the contract labor
law he found abundant traces. Agents
representing presumably one of the
large railroads with terminals in New
York was busy soliciting Austrian la
borers around the head of the Adriatic
and shipping them in small parties to
New York. They were conducted to
small town on the line of the rail-
road and sorted out into the gangs
which the railroad supplied to con-
tractors, manufacturers and others
along the line in need of cheap labor
Nominal Husbands.
ION one occasion Mr.. Braun was
sitting eating his lunch in a railway
station at Frankfort, when a group of
women entered and sat down near
him. From their conversation he was
appraised in very short time of their
disorderly character, and by paying
close attention learned that one of
them was even then on her way to the
United States, with the intention of
going to st. Louis to join large party
OF women recruited from ST. PAUL., in
Hamburg. She had letters from scores
of others who had entered the United
States in defiance of the laws, describ-
ing their adventures and relating how
the agents who were conducting the
scheme provided each with a nominal
husband at the foot of the gangplank.
From later observations and investiga-
tions he was convinced that thousands
of these women had entered the United
States in the months of May and June
alone.
"In Jerusalem he found most inter-
esting and amusing variation of fraud

period of time a large colony of Jews
had been living there in more or less
luxury on the proceeds Of begging let

movement throughout Europe to ship
all native paupers to the United
States as the easiest way in which

they now constitute a burden. Such
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

ton of the American authorities in de-

Naturalization Frauds.
1.-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 any foreign country and
used by him to secure a 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
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 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

naturalization.
IF 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 certified copy of their al
legged husbands naturalization papers
and secure a passport in that man
ner. There is no proof of marriage
under the present system Should the
United States government decide to re-
quire a 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.
