Washington.-The United States a
penal colony Of the Baltic states.
The United States a 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 abov
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ed that they dare not be published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 its paid spies
have followed him all over Europe
whose mail has been ri1ed, and who
was arrested and fined in the city o.
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 a stop to the dump
ing of Europe's undesirable classes
upon shores.
An Investigator Selected.
Marcus Braun, born in Hungary
though now a citizen of the United
States, was selected by Presiden
Roosevelt to act as a special agen
of the United States in investigating
The wholesale violations of our immi
grafton laws. The request for sucl
an appointment came through TIL
anti-vice societies of Philadelphia
which were anxious to put a stop t.
the white slave" traffic by whicl
thousands of Hungarian women wer'
being sent to the United States TO
immoral purposes. Mr.. Braun's in

str actions were to investigate the SUBJ
ject Of immigration of Europeans into
the United States in general. He has
been Swallowed almost since the day
Of his appointment both in this coun-
try and in Europe, and every effort has
been made to secure evidence that
would convict him of being a spy.
His mail has been ri1ed, and 1t was
when he caught a Hungarian detective
in the act of breaking open his trunk
in a Buda-Pesth hotel that he ad-
ministersd to him such punishment as
brought upon himself the vengeance Of
outraged Hungarian justice in the
form of an arrest and fine to the eX-
tent of ten dollars. Fortunately the
Hungarian detective secured nothiGg
OF value in the way of evidence, but
there have been times when his search
might have proven of more value to
his government, for Mr.. Braun has
had in his possession and has for
warded TO Washington damaging docu-
ments that the Hungarian government
would not like to have confront them
These reports have never been print
ed. They have never been examined
save by three or four heads of i'm
portant government departments, ant
by the president, but sufficient has
leaked out to enable us to give thu
gist OF emigration conditions abroad
as outlined by Mr.. Braun as follows:

Is only fair to say that nearly every
other state in the union is represented
during the years business.
Another form of abuse is the i'm
portation of women from the Levant
and elsewhere by naturalized Amer
lean citizens. All these d. are
required to do is to state ur aer oatf
that they are the wives of the mex
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
migration law they send to the United
States for a 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"
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 n~aturalized by fraud. In some
instances the fraud by which these
people became naturalized was So
flagrantly 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
well as other papers and documents Of
those suspected.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Braun. as

port on this subject a year ago which

things is the fact that if every penal

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 a minute for every working
hour Of Ellis Island.
During the last fiscal year nndersir-
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.
