Face of Medal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Not further
restriction but merely to make possible
such restriction as the existing law in
tends but has not accomplished, is the
object of n proposed new immigration
law recommended by Daniel j. Keefe
the Commissioner General of Immigra-
tion in his annual report for the fiscal
year 1909. It Is proposed to accomplish
this by codifylng. arranging in logical
sequence and Strengthening at their
weak points all existing laws on the
general subject OF immigration and
Chinese exclusion.
SPINE. Of the principal suggestions
are:
so defining the term "alien'' as to
leave no doubt that 1t includes all per-
sons not citizens: extending the con-
tract labor provisions to forbid ana
penalfze the inducement Of immigra-
ton by false as well as genuine prom
Uses of employment, penaliZing an at
TEMPT to import foreign laborers. and
permitting the importation of alien
skilled laborers il labor of like kind un-
employed can not be found here only if
the consent Of the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor is obtained in adj
vance; increasing the fine against
steamship companies for taking on
board dangerously diseased aliens from
500 to 5000.
Mr.. Keefe believes the time is ripe
for the adoption of even stricter meas
ures and suggests that proposal wor-
thy of careful thought is that all male
aliens between 16 and SO be required to
pass physical examination equal to
that observed for army recruits.
Touching the white slave traffic

vestigation conducted throughout the
country and the general experience of
the year. make it apparent that an
enormous business is done in import
ing and distributing foreign women for
immoral purposes. including the seduc-
ton and distribution of alien women
ard girls who enter regularly, and also
to some extent OF American women and
girls. The Federal officers have not
discovered positive evidence ofNthe en-
istence of Il syndicate for those nefari-
Gus purposes. but there is among those
who conduct the business certain
esprit de corps. and there are in sever
nj cities clubs and headquarters where
they congregate.'
