ASSISTING lnnIGRANTS.
Braun LearS That Austria Thus Gets
Rid of Undesirable Element.

~~'s
Rid OF Undesirable Element.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 1O-Marcus
Braun, Of New York, the United States
immigration inspector who while on q
special mission in Europe recently
caught an official of the Austro- Hun
garian government in the act of tam.
pering with his mail, has reported to
the department of commerce and labor.
The work of Inspector Braun was of
confidential nature, and it is likely
therefore that the reports on it may
MOI be made public. It is known that
the reports show, not only through the
personal statements Of Inspector Braun
himself, but also through official doc
uments Of the Austro- Hungarian gov
eminent and through affidavits of re-
sponsible persons, that the Austro-.
Hungarian governments is fostering and
encouraging the immigration to the
United States Of its people, and at the
same time urging the immigrants not
to become citizens of this country, but
to get together all the money they can
earn here and then return to their own
country.
In the fostering Of this immigration,
1t is charged, tho Austro- Hungarian
government subsidies one or more
steamship lines, with the result that
they carry the immigrants to the Uni.
ted States at notably low rate. BY
this means that government rids itself
temporarily at least, Of some residents
who are not specially desirable, and
many OF this class succeed in LANDING
In this country despite the rightly Of
the immigration laws.

flag Of st. Andrew once again floats
over the battleship Kniaz Potemkine
and the torpedo boat which have prov
ed such terrors to the Black sea COM
munities for couple Of weeks past.
The formal surrender Of the mutinous
crew actually occurred at O'Clock
this afternoon after series Of discus
sions and negotiations between the
Roumanian authorities and the leaders
of the mutineers.
The Rounanian officers who board
ed the battleship on her arrival here
called upon the crew to surrender. in
which case they would be treated as
foreign deserters, or else leave forth
with.
It speedily became apparent that the
Russian vessels returned to this port
with the intention Of giving them
selves up to foreign government, and
the crew soon announced the accept
ance Of the Roumanian terms.
The mutineers wanted to take of the
treasure which was on board the Kniaz
Petemkine, but the authorities declin-
ed to acquiesce.
It Is stated that the Russians will be
gradually conveyed to any frontier
they may select and will then be- lib
Grated, the local officials having given
them an understanding to this effect.
The Roumanian flag as we'll as the
Russian has been hoisted over the Rus
sian war vessels 90 as to prevent any
attack on them by the vessels Of the
Russian squadron.
st. Petersburg, July 10.-The admit
rally has been duly informed Of the
surrender Of the Kniaz Potemkine to
the Roumanian authorities at Kustenji,
but the officials here have no details Of
the arrangements made between the
Roumanian government and the mu-
tineers.
No diplomatic steps have been taken,
but the foreign Office undoubtedly will
make the strongest representations
against the mutineers being treated as
simple deserters and will demand their
surrender to answer not only for mt-
tiny, but also for the murder Of their
officers, the bombardment Of Odessa
and Indictment to q revolution.
The vainglorious proclamation issued
by the mutineers at Odessa will also
weigh heavily against them. Their
crime is one which is considered to be
the most odious by all nations, and it
is thought to be imperative that the
strongest justice be melted out to the
ring leaders az an example to the fleets
Of Russia and Of the whole world.

Eve Witness Takes
Stand Against Jones

The Jones murder case Is still pro-
crossing with the greatest slowness.
This Is mainly due to the great care
with which the prosecution is taking
its evidence and the continuous objec-
lions ON the part of the defense. In
spite of the fact that Mrs Maria Par
menter. the only eyewitness in the
case. took the stand today very little
evidence of interest transpired. The
examination of the witness was taken
mp with preliminary details concerning
the Kinau street premises and tho
movements of the family ON the fatal
night. The facts concerning the TRACE
dy itself were not reached and but lit
tie reference was made TO them.
] The DISCRIMINATION of Sam Kama
kanui. the surveyor was finished early
in the forenoon and the map of tho
scene of the shooting, which he had
prepared. was finally offered In evil
dence and placed on a stand in n pro-
minent place In the court room.
Mrs. Maria Parmenter. the wife of
Marcus Parmenter, was the next wit.
ness to take the stand. She knew
Linda X. Jones, who was her sister
in-law. Mrs. Jones being her husbands
sister She also knew the defendant.
He was living at Mrs. Sarah Parmen-
ter's place on Kinau street with his
wife. The witness lived there also.
On the evening of August %, 1903, she
was at this place and retired at 10: 20
p. IN. She pointed out on the map the
room, in the Eva portion of the house,
in which she slept She also pointed
out the rooms occupied by the rest OF
the inmates of the house ON that
memorable night. The witness further
had to go through thorough identiii-
cation of all the various points of in
terest In the case as indicated on Tie
map. This consumed considerable
time.
Mrs. Parmenter finally came to the
point In her story when she spoke of
being awakened at 1873 a. m. ON aug.
%, 1903. by Mrs. Parmenter. The jury
and the spectators leaned forward in
expectation Of interesting testimony to
come but were disappointed. The ex-
animation brought back to the move
ments of Mrs. Sarah Parmenter, Mrs.
Jones and the witness during the early
pant of the evening when the presence
Of Jones on the front veranda was first
discovered on account OF his coughing
and the most minute and uninterest-
ing details had to be listened to again.
At noon the examination of Mrs. Par
menter had not yet finished.
