 Immigration Officials.

Washington, Jan. 15.--Indications are that immigration has reached the million mark permanently, says An thcny Caminetti. cCmmissioner-gen- eral of immigration, in his annual re- port for 1914, issued today.
 During the last fiscal year 1,21S, ,4S0 souls immigrated to the United States, 20,5SS more than were shown for the previous year and only 66,S69 less than the total shown for 1907, the banner year in immigration. Six hundred and thirty-three thou san, eight hundred and five left the United States, SC that the net increase was 769,2 ,276. It was S15,303 in 1913 and 401 1863 in 1912.
 Twelve thousand, four hundred and ninety-four (12,494) were denied en- try. and 2,0S8 were arrested and ex- pelled after entry. Among them were 1,340 sexually immoral, 912 criminals 32 polygamists and four anarchists. Fifteen thousand, seven hundred and forty-five 15,745) aliens were de- barred because likely to become pup lie charges. Two thousand, four hun dred and forty-seven aliens-public charges-were, expelled under depor- tation proceedings, after entry.
 An event of great importance dur ing the year. was the decision of the United States supreme court sustain ing a lower court in tine assessing of tion company for violating the alien contract labor law. This company attempted to supply itself with 4o needed laberers by importing them from Mexico.
 Must Check Hindus. Discussing immigration from the | Far East MT Caminetti says: Our Oriental immigration problem arising more than quarter of cen tury ago, has never been satisfac- torily solved. The exclusion laws need many amendments, not in pur- pose, but in prescribed method.' l He sounds a warning that the time has arrived to- check the threatene ed influx of. undesirables from Hindu .stan. Takingup the Near East, he continues :. 3
 Immigration from the Near East has not yet attracted much. attention largely because it has merged into European immigration and has devel- l Oped. along somewhat similar lines l It may reasonably be expected tha, Western Asia will be developed and 1 exploited more and more completely l by transportation companies whose l profits are dependent to a considera- ble extent upon filling the steerage quarters of their ships"
 1 He recommends that in the treat ment, arrest and return to the country whence they came of women and girls guilty of immoral acts the fol- lowing changes be made:
 First. more kindly and consider ate handling of the cases.
 Second, the avoidance to the full est extent possible of the incarcera- tion of women and girls in jails and similar places.
 Third, the return of aliens to their native country through societies (philanthropic and religious) in this country in constant communication with related or similar societies abroad"
 He recommended the appointment of women employees at the principal immigrant stations in this country.
 He suggests the cooperation of the post office department and the depart ment of agriculture with view tt establishing at each post office in tht United States depository for blanks so that those desiring farm and oth- CT laborers on the one hand, ant those desiring employment on the other may apply fer blanks to be filled out and transmitted under gov ernmentf rank to the central office thus initiating the effort to comply with the desires of the applicants In connection with labor -distriution he says:
 "The thought that no better service can be rendered if either of the farm loan land bills now pending in con. gross is enacted than to provide that part of the funds shall be assigned to the department of labor to be used in connection with tho work of dis tribution pursuant to terms provided by the proposed law"
 He treats in detail the difficulties encountered in enforcing the laws against undesirables and smugglers due to the extreme length of our bor ders and coast lines. After commend ing the present forces, he states that more men are needed. He also strongly urges" that part of the in. creased force be organized and equip ped as an immigration service signal corps, following the army sigma corps as closely as possible.
 Many complaints have been receiv, ed charging injustice and fraud by private employment agencies doing an interstate business. The commission. CT recommends these agencies bt placed under the supervision of the department of labor hy federal enact
 ment.
 He opposes marriages of aliens al immigrant stations.
