NEW YORK, Jan. S.--Although the
returning emigrants took out Of the
country sum estimated by steamship
managers to have been not less than
last year, the annual mlgra'
tion is held by heads Of the big steam
ship companies to be benefit and not a
detriment to the country. 1T releases
and puts into circulation large sum
of money" said Gustave II. Schwab, OF
the North German Lloyd Line "This
money has been saved mp and the trav'
eler is forced to pay it out in railroad
and steamship fares, baggage transfers
and living expenses on the way to the
seaboard."
Mr.. Schwab's estimate is that no less
than $G4,0O00OO was paid in 1907 by
travellers for steerage accommodation
on Atlantic liner. Of this sum fully
$l5OOOOOO was spent by homeward
bound aliens, is the estimate of steam
ship men. Incoming aliene are esti-
mated to have brought upwards Of $27-

NEW YORK, Jan. S.--Investigation
into the traffic in lottery tickets on the

to post office inspectors that not only is
the traffic an extensive one, but that a
large proportion OF the tickets sold are
forgeries and that thousands OF poor
people are being swinded each week by
fake concerns which pay a small prize
here and there to keep up interest in
their enterprises. Postal Inspectors say
that in spite OF the utmost vigilance OF
the state and department officials, Il
number OF tickets from the
big lotteries in Germany and South
America find their way into this country.
Their number is small, however, conf
pared with that of the Fictitious con.
