MAY PROMOTE IMMIGRATION.
Government Will Not interfere With
Movement of Southern States.

Washington, March l5.-Informa-
tion received today renders it clear
that the immigration authorities, as
one result of the several conferences re-
Gently held, in which the president,
Secretary Straus, Attorney General
Bonaparte, Commissioner of Immigra-
tion Sargent and prominent men of the
South have participated, will interpret
the existing immigration law as it was
interpreted in the South Carolina case.
The attorney general has held that the
immigrants landed at Charleston, S. c.. +,
last November, are legally in the coun-
try. They were induced to come to
America by authorized agents of South
Carolina and the passage money for
some, at least, of them was paid by
the state, and others by contributions
of the citizens. Several other Southern
states have decided to seek immigra-
tion along the same lines as were fol-
lowed by South Carolina and it is un-
derstood they will not be interfered

POINT AGAINST HERMANN.
Answered Letters, but Copies of An
swers Not Found.

Washington, March l5.-Evidenc'
decidedly damaging to Binger Her
mann was introduced by the govern
ment today in the trial OF the ex-land
commissioner for destruction of 35 let.
terpress copybooks. alleged to have
contained official correspondence.
Charles L. Dubois, chief of survey di.
vision; d. G. Sherman, formerly Her.
mann's financial clerk, and John S.
Vile, another clerk in the land office,
all identified several letters taken from
the files of the land office, all pertain
ing to government business and all en-
dorsed on the back, answered by
commissioner.
They all agreed that this endorse
ment signiied that Hermann himself
dictated the replies and that his an
swers were press-copied in what were
known as the commissioner "person-
al' letter books. 1t was also brought
out by the government that careful
search through the letter books now ir
the land office failed to disclose copies
OF the answers to these particular let
ters, thereby strongly intimating that
the letters must have been copied in
the books destroyed by Hermann as
charged in the Indictment, and that
the books, therefore, contained official
correspondence.
No stronger evidence in support of
indictment has heretofore been given
during the protracted trial. In fact,
most of the evidence submitted up to
this time has been designed to show a
motive for the destruction of the books
and had no direct bearing upon the
actual charge contained in the indict-
ment. Today's evidence is very strong
in support of the Indictment, and while
it is circumstantial, yet leaves little
doubt in the minds of those who have
followed the case that Hermann's So
called "private" letter books in fact
contained much correspondence relat-
ing to the business of his Office.

ination could or would be made.

anlti-trust law, which is almost identi
