SENATOR LODGE ON IMMIGRATION.
Says More Doctors Should Be Provided for
New York and Other Ports.

Senator Lodge, chairman of the subcommittee
on immigration. who has been investigating condi-
tions at the immigration station on Ellis Island
said yesterday that the work of the commission
would probably not be completed for two years but
that report might be made to Congress next fall
He adGed:
Six of the nine commissioners are now In Europe
looking the immigration situation abroad
They Will probably return In August and the com
mission Will meet some time in November in Wash
ington. My work has been confined to ascertaIning
how the immigration laws being administered
at the ports of New York. Baltimore, PhUadelphia
and Boston. l have visited all these ports excent
Boston. The immigration station at Phuadephia
is disgl ace. and there is question in my mind
that all the commissioners will agree that PhiIa-
delphia should nave 4 new building. One thing
that impressed me was the lack of physicians NJ
the Baltimore and Philadelphia immigration sta
tOns to examine the immigrants. New York also
should have more physicians AS it is only a mosf
hurried examination is made, and In Boltin,orn
where the worst situation In this regard was found
discovered tnat single physician had to examine
more than one thousand immigrants in one dav =.
The committee is not seeking a solution OF the
immigration problem through an effort to divert tho
tide of incomers from this TO other ports he said
The commission has never discussed such a nrono
stion. and from the very nature of things IL prob
ably never will. The tide of immigration will flow
where it WILL and TO divert 1t from this nort 70
other ports would be lnposs.hls."
