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 a fixed price.
"The agreement read! that no other
line should be allowed to compete and
that there should be minimum of
&c, 900 the first year. 1t is presumed
that that agreement is at present op-
erative and if I remember correctly

structions were to investigate the sub
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 spy.
His mail has been rifed, and it was
when he caught Hungarian detective
in the act of breaking open his trunk
in Buda-Pesth hotel that he adj
ministered 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 nothing
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.

out OF q line big place on the avenue
the other day on her way to school,
and we admired her crisp fresh clothes,
so well fitted for the days demands.
She wore a gray-blue cotton frock,
belted blouse and pleated skirt; the
belt was white; her shoes and stock
ings were of tan; her hat was Tuscan
braid trimmed with ribbon. No fur
bellows, but all good style, of late fash
ion.
The princess petticoat for the small
girl is liked and appears in different
models; it may be gored from neck to
hem, it may be long plain waist
sewed to a straight skirt, it may have
an added flounce The tendency is to-
wards clothes as little burdensome as
possible.
Especially is this noticeable in in
fants' garments. Three pieces are all
that there need be; wooden knit band
with wide soft shoulder straps, next
this a one-piece princess petticoat Of
soft flannel reaching from the neck to
something like IL inches below the
feet, with good big armholes pinked or
scalloped, and a couple of buttons at
the back to fasten it; and now comes
the dress. All the garments may be
placed on at once, the sleeves having
previously been fitted the one in the
other. Not much tucking is seen on the
latest dresses.
Lingerie bonnets and coats are in
favor, fashions for wee ones following
those of the big ladies. And, most SEN
sible, it is now considered fashionable
to have all children's clothing tubbable,
coats as well as frocks. Sleeves for
the frocks are either bishop or else
short puffs, elbow sleeves as popular
for baby as for mother.
Some charming washable things are
worth description, may offer sugges-
| ton to the home dressmaker. A long
coat for a two-year-old was of white
linen embroidered in blue bachelor
buttons; the cap worn with this was a
very small one, but tied with stun
ming large bow of blue silk; the coat
collar was long military cape, with a
scalloped edge and punches Of the flow
ers here and there. Another long coat
for child little older than this one
was made Of linen duck, plain save for
double capes finished with eyelet en-
broidery.

Magnetic Survey of the Pacific

Owing to the rapid development OF
commerce in the Pacific ocean, great
Importance attaches to the magnetic
survey of the northern part of that
immense sea which is to be begun this
year under the auspices of the Car
negie Institution. With the exception
of what was learned during the IA
nous voyage of the Challenger, the
North Pacific ocean is nearly blank
with regard to magnetic observations.
The state of knowledge concerning the
distribution of magnetic forces over
the greater portion of the earth is adj
mittedly very unsatisfactory, on ac-
count of the lack of precise data from
the oceanic areas. Prof. Arthur Schus-
ter says that he believes no material
progress in terrestrial magnetism Is
possible until the magnetic constants
of the great ocean basins, especially
the Pacific, have been more accurate
ly determined. The requisite knowl-
edge cannot be acquired from islands
and tho coasts Of continental.

European countries, but which are 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.
'tThat this danger is tangible is
shown in the fact that 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
have sufficient means on their arrival
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
the ignorant foreigner must possess
unusual energy and persistence or else
be blessed with unusual good fortune
to avoid condition Immediately SUBJ

official bodies having charge of the

ed. They have never been examined
save by three or four heads of i'm
portant government departments, and
by the president, but sufficient has
leaked out to enable us to give the
gist of emigration conditions abroad,
as outlined by Mr.. Braun as follows:
Tens of thousands of foreigners are
permitted to emigrate to this coun-
try without the fumigation of their
baggage as provided by law.
The organized gangs of crooks who
connive at this evasion stamp the emf
grants belongings with counterfeit
government labels and a counterfeit
United States consular stamp, indicat-
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 1,000,0 900 will have passed
through Ellis Island and other immi-
grafton depots within the past IL
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 are
called, hire ont the immigrants and
collect their wages, paying them just
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-vice
societies in New York and Philadel-
phia, that thousands Of women are
being sent here every year for inn
moral purposes, chiefly from Hungary.
and that the Hungarian government
winks at the practice. Mr. Braun re-
ceived verbal instructions from Mr..
Roosevelt in the matter and was di-
rected also to make inquiry into the
sending of paupers and criminals to
this country. He made a startling re-
port on this subject year ago which
never was published.
Many startling disclosures have 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
