Immigration Officers Lay Dare the Scheme ef the Mermen Sict Show ing a Regular Traffic in Scandi navian and German Girls. Anlmoioltc Special. Washington, Aug. IS. A caste has h reported to the United States luv migration authorities from Ronton, which Indicates clearly that a scheme of Importing women and girls for tla upbuilding of the Mormon sect Utah nnd contiguous states bs bclrg tfreloied by the auth.iltles of the Mormon church. The ruse Is typical 0 otb is which have been discovered lf the immigration officers In the past year or two, and an effort la beiuq made by the United States nlllolals to fix definitely the responsibility for lee pfctn. iHvi-xilgatlon has shown that emlssar m of the Mormon church oontluualty are traveling through (treat llratain nnd Northern Ktirnpo trying to Induce whole families, and iwirtleulaily vigor ous young women and girls, to conm tn America ami local In Utah, Idaho or In other places where MormotiUm nourishes. (Rowing promises aro made to them of the wealth they may enjoy In the Mormon communities nut tho real scheme Is to provide sturdy wives to the men of the Mor moo faith. When women anil girls nre foiim willing to accept the glowing ter.ua made to them, they aro supplied wltit money for the voyage to America nu to pay their way to the Mormon tit tlemeiits In the Wtttt. The hum grants are coached carefully before they start, nnd usually tholr storhi are so plausible that the Immigration usV'lala nrq.uiiiihte to bar them from landing In i"Ls country. Few of them have any I '.en of wlmt the futiif.t I dill In stov for them ami, on hind hii In the United Slates, are hurried to tho Mormu.i communities and there ci (or upon what approximates slavery. I Kvery port on tho Atlantic coast tc ports tlio ItiudltiK of Humorous Mor mon convert:!. It lias been known lor years that runny women and girls In tituled for Mormon communities come tj this oouiury every year, but only j'nfrequently is It the caso that the hu miliation nificlnls nro able, under the ,,Wi t0 .irovent them from landltu. Ing, about $35 enough to carry the Immigrant to Utah or to a destina tion In that vicinity. A few duys ago a typical case wan reKrtod from tho port of Boston. A Mormon elder named Kiniiel llachmun of Sholtoy, llliiKhnm county, Idaho, brollKUt t lMt country an 11-yeur-ohl girt named Sumtu Henry, from Soot land, lie said he had adopted the child. This statement was subsequent ly shown to be dlslngenous, tm ho only had agreed to adopt her. Tho ch., ,.,. ,,, .., 01ime wf r (iwn noeorti, niuiouvh her twrents hud cn.ejuod to 1st her 001110. Kvldonoe adduced on the Inquiry nmdB Into the J caJW 8lum.e,j t,Ht uider llnchmnn had lmHtmi tho ehtlii mi th vovnc to 'America. Her parenU hud told her that Itaohman was to be a father (o her and held (Hit promises tn her that If she would oome to Amerloo.she would huve advantagos lu the way of I education that they could not give her. She was promised a piano among other tilings. The child (old (he Im- migration hmpactors that she did not want to remain with ttaenman, urn desired tn return to her home. It was developed also that she had attended school regularly and that her iMtrents were woll ablo to support her. Ihtth- man's alory to the Inspectors was so flimsy tliat it was decided to send the child lmck to her jwrenU and she f-c- cotSllngly was deported on the ustt vessel. Slmllar'cases arise almost every day at. noma ot tho Atlantic norts. some' them being oven more definite In etalls than that of Susan Henry. Thoy create ronsldcrable concern In the minds of the Immigration authority. who often are unable tn get the real facts or the esse. It Is not unlikely thai national legislation bearing upon the matter wilt be pro nosed in the near future. MOVBMHNT OF TROOPS.
