UNDESIRABLE
IMMIGRANTS
ENCOURAGED

Washington, Jan 12-Positive evidence
General OF immigration that the steam
ship companies. as we'll as foreign socie-
ties formed for the purpose. have en-
couraged undesirable immigrants TO
come TO the United States who afterward
become public charges or are deported
for being here IN violation OF the law.
The steamship companies. through their
foreign agencies, advertise that work can
be easily found I'm this country and they
guarantee a return passage In case the
Immigrant Is either unsuccessful In OBJ
tanning work or for any other reasons
falls into straits in this country
An investigation TO ascertain the exact
facts has been I'm progress at Ellis Island
for several months. and Special Agent
Marcus Braunn, who Is now here, Will
go abroad next month TO find how the
scheme is worked on the other side.
He will study especially what is tech
nically known as assisted immigrants"
that is, immigrants whose passage 10

by organized societies. as is the case with
most OF the Jewish immigrants who are
now landing at Ellis Island.

Hamburg are the German representatives
of some OF the big steamship lines, which
also have agents at Berlin and elsewhere
in Germany.
The inquiry In progress in this connec-
ton embraces the Hebrew aid societies.
among them the Baron de Hirsch asso-
citation, the Israelite Universelle and the
Hebrew Aid immigration society OF New
York, all OF which have been directly con-
nected with schemes to bring In needy
Russian Jews. even II II is necessary to
violate the law by so doing.
Marcus Braunn, who will have charge
OF the inquiry abroad, is an accomplished
llnglist and he will probably remain in
Europe several months.
He will also make an effort TO learn at
first hand the secrets OF the syndicate
which imports women for immoral pur-
poses, although this particular business
has not grown to large proportions
