immigration Authorities Fear the
Country Will be Overrun With
The Sect from Europe.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Immi-
grafton officials are deeply concerned
over the increasing number of mar
chists that are Rocking across the
water from Europe to America. Moth
ing has been done at the session of
congress just closed to help the stu
alton. The immigration bill went
owe until next winter, and as for the
naturalization law which was enact
ed, it is not likely to be of any value
so far as, excluding anarchists from
the country is concerned.
The naturalization law provides
for the gathering of elaborate data
concerning applicants for citizenship,
but few of the reds" are expected
by the immigration officials to seek
citizenship.
immigration authorities say the
United States will be overrun with
anarchists unless something is done
by treaty or otherwise to keep them
out. They also say that the extent
of the influx of anarchists to Ameri-
can shores is by no means generally
recognized. They would like to see
steps taken before another session of
congress to check the tide of danger
Gus elements that is flowing from the
centers of discord in Europe.
There is no data in the bureau of
immigration to show how many an
archists are here. In discussing this
q high official of the service dwelt
on the difficulty of ascertaining the
character of the immigrants that
flock to this country. There is no
way under the law to pick out the
dangerous characters and compel
their deportation.
Thus John Turner, a noted Eng
fish anarchist, came to this country
and gained admittance, no one knows
how. He was eventually traced down
and discovered after word was re-
ceived he was in America, but how
he gotsin was lot ascertained.
Even when it is learned anarchists
have entered the country, the immi-
grafton officials say it is hard to cope
with them. Not long ago there was
much excitement over the discovery
of a colony of them in Baltimore.
Preparations were being made to ar
rest them when they disappeared.
immigration officials have not yet
discovered where they went.
A recommendation for dealing
with the anarchists is made by a
prominent official of the bureau of
i'm mi Urotion DC f~0l1nutc.
''The United States government
should lose no time in making treat
les with foreign nations looking to
keeping fully informed as to the
movements of the anarchists. An Or
g%anization of the heads of the secret
service bureaus of the various gov
ernments should be formed on the
lines of the present association of po-
lice chiefs of the United States.
"There should, perhaps, be regu-
lar meetings of the representatives
of these bureau, and the fullest data
concerning the class of whim | am
speaking should be interchanged.
The European governments probably
have better systems for dealing with
the subject than we have, and 1t
would most likely necessitate the de-
failing of a number of our sleuths
especially for the purpose, but as
America and not Europe would get
the greatest benefit from n such
arrangement, l think we could keep
out of the United States many bomb
throwers. theoretical and practical.
who gain easy admittance under our
present system"
