Commissioner Sargent Denies Stories About
Inspector Braun's Resignation.
WARRINGTON. Aug. l2.-Commissioner Of
immigration Frank p. Sargent made state
ment to-day in regard to the case Of 1mmi-
grant Inspector Braun In which he said:
In an interview with me yesterday at
Ellis Island Mr.. Braun stated that his resig-
nation was rendered on account Of personal
reasons and not from any dissatisfaction
on account OF the regulations Of the Bureau
Of immigration requiring the uniform Of
the service to be worn by all employees
detailed for duty at Ellis Island, nor on
account of any difference OF opinion which he
might hold as to the regulations governing
the admission of aliens into the United
States. He said that the reports represent
ing him as resigning because OF his being
required to wear a uniform are absolutely
without foundation"
The personal reasons" referred to by
Braun in his interview with Commissioner
Sargent are understood to relate primarily to
the inspectors recent unpleasant experience
in Austria Hungary. where he was ARRESTED,
afterward being recalled at the request OF
the State Department. The ImmigI ahon
Bureau shared Brauns chagrin when the
latter was ordered back after his arrest
in Budapest. Braun did good work in the
foreign service, and the immigration au-
thorities wanted to keep him there, but the
State Department, fearing complications,
insisted that Braun should be called of.

to Mako Investigation.


WARRINGTON. Aug. l2.-The first step
by the United States Government against
the boycott Of American products by the
Chimes, has been taken. Osders have
been sent from the State Department to
all American diplomatic and consular
officers In China to make thorough In
vestigation Of the boycott and make re-
ports to the Department as soon as possible.
Announcement to this effect was made
at the State Department to-day.
That the situation Is growing serious
Is apparent. Protests from American man
ufacturers and producers are coming to the
State Department In increasing volume
every day. 1t 10 known here that many
such protests and requests that this Govern
ment take some action to either stop the
antt-American movement, or Offset It, have
been sent to the President at Oyster Bay.
While no announcement has been made
TO this effect, 1t Is understood here that the
State Department L. exceedingly anxious
to find out just who is responsible for the
boycott and to that end the consular and
diplomatic officers Of this Government have
been instructed to investigate.
What the next step will be Is not known.
fais Government has appealed to the
Chinese Government, but no result has
come from it. To ~ State Department
1t has been suggested by some one whose
name Is not made public, that the merchants
and commercial interests Of other countries
are the responsible parties. II this Is found
to DO true, this Government will have an
active working basis for negotiations to
put an end to the boycott.
Despite his emphatic denials, there is also
q deep-rooted suspicion that former Min
lister WI instituted tho boycott. II this in
vestigation which Is to be made shows this,
then the United States can make demands
on the Chinese Government. WI being an
Official Of the Chinese Foreign Office.

opinion that Chairman Odel would find
ready means to block his political advance
