Washington.—The United States a
penal colony of the Baltic states.
The United States a dumping ground
for the paupers of southern Europe.
The United States the Mecca of
thousands of immoral Hungarian
women.
There are in the desks of govern
ment officials in Washington reports
containing evidence to prove the above
statements that are so strongly word
ed that they dare not be published
until the government is ready to act.
for the reports are but an arraignment
of the governments of southern Europe
*or complicity in wholesale schemes for
the violation of United States immi
gration laws.
These reports are received from the
most trustworthy sources, one of
which is from a government agent,
paid to investigate the conditions
abroad, and whose persistency in that
direction has so aroused at least one
European nation that its paid spies
have followed him all over Europe;
whose mail has been rifled, and who
was arrested and fined in the city of
Buda-Pesth when he violently objected
co this procedure.
Out of this later incident will grow
a vigorous effort on the part of the
government to so change the immigra
tion laws as to put a stop to the dump
ing of Europe’s undesirable classes
upon our shores.
An Investigator Selected.
Marcus Braun, born in Hungary,
though now a citizen of the United
States, was selected by President
Roosevelt to act as a special agent
of the United States in investigating
the wholesale violations of our immi
gration laws. The request for such
an appointment came through the
anti-vice societies of Philadelphia,
which were anxious to put a stop to
the “white slave” traffic by which
thousands of Hungarian women were
being sent to the United States for
immoral purposes. Mr. Braun’s in-
llptb
The ‘’White Slave” Traffic.
structions were to investigate the sub
ject of immigration of Europeans into
the United States in general. He has
been shadow’ed almost since the day
of his appointment both in this coun
try and in Europe, and every effort has
been made to secure evidence that
would convict him of being a spy.
His mail has been rifled, and it was
when he caught a Hungarian detective
in the act of breaking open his trunk
in a Buda-Pesth hotel that he ad
ministered to him such punishment as
brought upon himself the vengeance of
outraged Hungarian justice in the
form of an arrest and fine to the ex
tent of ten dollars. Fortunately the
Hungarian detective secured nothing
of value In the w’ay of evidence, but
there have been times w r hen his search
might have proven of more value to
his government, for Mr. Braun has
had in his possession and has for
warded to Washington damaging docu
ments that the Hungarian government
would not like to have confront them.
These reports have never been print
ed. They have never been examined
save by three or four heads of im
portant government departments, and
by the president, but sufficient has
leaked out to enable us to give the
gist of emigration conditions abroad,
as outlined by Mr. Braun as follows:
Tens of thousands of foreigners are
permitted to emigrate to this coun
try without the fumigation of their
baggage as provided by law.
The organized gangs of crooks who
connive at this evasion stamp the emi
grants’ belongings with counterfeit
go: nment labels and a counterfeit
Waited States consular stamp, indicat-
Ing that their baggage has been prop
erly fumigated.
These counterfeits are accepted at
Ellis Island without question, and lug
gage from European centers, scourged
with bubonic plague, cholera, tra
choma, smallpox and the germs of
deadly fevers, is permitted to enter
our ports daily.
For this counterfeiting service the
Italian gangs in particular charge five
lire, or one dollar.
In several of the European countries
it is the custom to promise convicted
criminals immunity from punishment
if they will emigrate to this country
or if their relatives will send them
here.
1,000,000 Immigrants.
The fiscal year will end June 30, and
by that time 1,000,000 will have passed
through Ellis Island and other immi
gration depots within the past 12
months. The reports submitted by the
inspectors abroad show conclusively
that out of this number one in every
ten is either a criminal or is otherwise
an undesirable citizen for the United
States, and these undesirable citizens
are coming to our shores either by
the aid and encouragement of Euro
pean governments, or under the
“padrone” system by which an unde
sirable class of men, women and chil
dren are brought to this country un
der contract by individuals. These
“bosses,” or padrones, as they are
called, hire out the immigrants and
collect their wages, paying them just
enough to keep body and soul alive.
The workers are thus virtual slaves.
Mr. Braun was sent to Europe pri
marily to investigate the “white slave”
traffic on the complaint of anti-vice
societies in New York and Philadel
phia, that thousands of women are
being sent here every year for im
moral purposes, chiefly from Hungary,
and that the Hungarian government
winks at the practice. Mr. Braun re
ceived verbal instructions from Mr.
Roosevelt in the matter and w r as di
rected also to make inquiry into the
sending of paupers and criminals to
this country. He made a startling re
port on this subject a year ago which
never w’as published.
Many startling disclosures have been
made in these reports. Among these
things is the fact that if every penal
offender in jail in this country were
released to-morrow the jails could be
refilled to their utmost capacity by
the criminals sent to this country by
the official brooms of European gov
ernments.
Horror of the Situation.
The awful horror of this situation
may best be realized when it is known
that immigrants land in this country
at the rate of thousands daily.
In 1903 immigrants from Russia.
Slavonia and Poland came in at the
rate of one a minute for every working
hour of Ellis Island.
During the last fiscal year undersir
able immigrants arrived at the rate of
two per minute, tens of thousands of
them criminals, tens of thousands of
dissolute women, and hordes of them
with diseased baggage bearing coun
terfeit stamps of certification.
Broughton Brandenburg, the well
knowm investigator of immigration,
who was on the continent pursuing
lines of work parallel to Mr. Braun s,
gave the following statement to the
New York World regarding the causes
leading to the arrest of that investi
gator in Buda-Pesth:
“It to me as though the Hun
garian secret police have got hold of a
report, or. rather, an advisory fore
cast of his formal report, which Mr.
Braun should have mailed from Buda-
Pesth about the time of his arrest.
“These advisory letters he has al
ways sent at frequent intervals. They
conte ‘ opinions and fragmentary
facts, w’Hch are usually eliminated in
the formal report he makes on his
return from his tour. I fane:’ the Hun
garian police would be more edified
by such a letter than by the report
even though the last report made was
of so sensational a character that after
a discussion in the department as to
whether it should be printed or not
in the annual it was referred directly
to President Roosevelt. There are four
copies. One is in the hands of Mr.
Sargent, another in the care of Secre
tary Metcalf, and a third on the presi
dent’s desk, while the fourth, retained
by Mr. Braun, is in New York in very
safe hands.
“Inasmuch as my agents and corre
spondents operating on the continent
have at several times crossed trails
with Mr. Braun, I am not violating a
confidence in disclosing some of the
things which Mr. Braun unearthed.
They are but fair samples of the
whole, and show in a startling man
ner how we are being duped as a peo
ple by the immigration incitation
agencies of Europe—not alone steam
ship agencies and immigration agents,
but continental governments and
charitable societies officered by people
of high reputation.
Exporting Criminals.
“For instance, Mr. Braun learned of
the practice in communities where the
jails were overcrowded of liberating
prisoners and giving them assistance
to go to the United States, thus treat
ing us as if we were no more than
a penal colony sustained for their ben
efit. In one community in Hungary
where he conducted investigations he
found that in the past three years
280 prisoners had been liberated either
at the expiration of their sentence or
before their terms were served, and
that the police records showed 180
of them to have been sent to the
United States. In connection with this
a member of the Hungarian parlia
ment, in making a speech, deplored
the laxness of the government in al
lowing criminals who had been de
ported to the United States to re
turn with their pockets filled and wits
sharpened for further nefarious opera
tions.
“Mr. Brauh also made specific disclo
sures concerning institutions near
Buda-Pesth from which parties of
pauper children were sent in the care
of fictitious parents, paid for the job.
When this ‘family’ was safely passed
through Ellis Island the ‘father’ and
‘mother’ divided their ready-made
progeny, and, going from city to city,
abandoned the little ones on the
streets to bq picked up by the police
and placed in American asylums.
“Of violations of the contract labor
law he found abundant traces. Agents
representing presumably one of the
large railroads with terminals in New
York was busy soliciting Austrian la
borers around the head of the Adriatic
and shipping them in small parties to
New York. They were conducted to a
small town on the line of the rail
road and sorted out into the gangs
which the railroad supplied to con
tractors, manufacturers and others
along the line in need of cheap labor.
Oddly enough, I reported to the de
partment on the same subject, about
the same time, the same facts derived
from entirely different sources.
Nominal Husbands.
“On one occasion Mr. Braun was
sitting eating his lunch in a railway
station at Frankfort, when a group of
women entered and sat down near
him. From their conversation he was
apprised in a very short time of their
disorderly character, and by paying
close attention learned that one of
them was even then on her way to the
United States, with the intention of
going to St. Lot is to join a large party
of women recruited from St. Pauli, in
Hamburg. She had letters from scores
of others who had entered the United
States in defiance of the laws, describ
ing their adventures and relating how
the agents who were conducting the
scheme provided each with a nominal
husband at the foot of the gangplank.
From later observations and investiga
tions he was convinced that thousands
of these women had entered the United
States in the months of May and June
alone.
“In Jerusalem he found a most inter
esting and amusing variation of fraud
ulent naturalization. For a long
period of time a large colony of Jews
had been living there in more or less
luxury on the proceeds of begging let
ters which they sent out to religious
and charitable people in all parts of
the world. The Turkish police, divin
ing at last that there was something
illicit in the livelihood of these people,
demanded a share, and when they did
not get it the letter-writing beggars
had their houses broken open, were
dragged out and beaten until they did
divide. At last one of them secured
a citizenship paper from his brother
in Chicago and on the next occasion
of a police visit he appealed to the
consul, Dr. Merril, and the police were
set back. Immediately the demand for
American citizenship papers raised the
market as high as SIOO per certificate,
and now the colony is enjoying the full
privileges of American protect n,
though many of them have never seen
the Atlantic.
Caught in the Act.
“Perhaps the most sensational thing
in the suppressed portion of the last
report was Mr. Braun’s presentation
of true copies of the secret agreement
between the Hungarian government
and the Cunard line, in which the
Hungarian government agreed to de
liver to the Cunard line at the port
of Fiume all the emigrants from Hun
gary at a fixed price.
“The agreement read that no other
line should be allowed to compete and
that there should be a minimum of
30,000 the first year. It is presumed
that that agreement is at present op
erative and if I remember correctly
next year the minimum is to be 100,-
000. Learning that this agreement
was about to be signed, Mr. Braun
waited until it was concluded and
then bribed it out of ministerial hands
for the pitiful sum of $lO4. He sent
a cable to Mr. Sargent and from that
day the plot has been thickening to
destroy his usefulness in Hungary.
Being a Hungarian, born in Buda-
Pesth, he was invaluable in that por
tion of Europe. From the day of that
cablegram he was dogged, he has since
learned. »
“On the night of January 6 last Mr.
Braun and I were the speakers be
fore the Twentieth Century club in
Brooklyn and I was accompanied to
and from the meeting by one of my
agents. The next morning he report
ed to me that Mr. Braun was being
trailed by a man whom he had ad
dressed in German, French and Ital
ian without getting him to understand.
I passed the information on at once
and the conclusion reached was that
the New York end of the Russian third
section was looking after Mr. Braun,
but it now appears that at that time
he was shadowed night and day by
Hungarian agents, so that even though
he took unusual precautions to guard
knowledge of his sailing on this third
tour the Hungarian police must have
been apprised at once.
“On the 24th he was expected to
obtain the records of the deportation
of criminals at the expense of the
Hungarian government from an official
in a town near Bufla-Pesth. My cor
respondents have not informed me as
to the result, but suffice it to say the
advisory letter which he sent on or
about the first of the month must have
been something well worth the while.
The question is: Did the Hungarian
police get it and what ammunition will

it supply the Hungarian government
to reply to the protest of the United
States against the tampering with
Braun’s mail? He is expected in the
north of Europe on the 18th, but will
probably await the outcome of this
peculiar tangle.”
It is the custom of the department
of commerce and labor to print the
reports of its various commissioners
and agents in the annual report of the
commissioner in chief.
Only a portion of Mr. Braun’s papers
appeared in this year’s report. They
w r ere not even given to the senate.
They were simply turned over by Com
missioner Sargent, copies w r ere laid on
the president’s desk and then they
were apparently pigeon-holed, as noth
ing has been heard from them since.
Grave Dangers to This Country.
Following are interesting extracts
from Mr. Braun’s report:
“Two grave dangers threaten the
people of the United States from the
present emigration movement. The
first of these, and the one more im
mediate in its possible effects, is the
danger of diseases such as are common
to the masses of the people in many
European countries, but which are as
yet comparatively unknown in the
United States. The second grave dan
ger referred to is the dumping by
European countries of their paupers
and dependents upon the American
people.
“That this danger is tangible is
shown in the fact that a majority of
the deportations are for the reason
that the persons involved are likely
to become public charges. The annual
reports of the bureau showing lhe
amount of money possessed by each
immigrant when he lands demonstrate
the fact that a very small percentage
have sufficient means on their arrival
to guarantee self-support until able to
create an income. Whether possessed
of resources in the shape of relatives
and friends or not, it is evident that
the ignorant foreigner must possess
unusual energy and persistence or else
be blessed with unusual good fortune
to avoid a condition immediately sub
sequent to his arrival where he is like
ly to need public or private charity.
“But for the prompt action of the
bureau in deporting a number of per
sons whose passages to the United
States were paid by charitably inclined
people, relief organizations, or even by
official bodies having charge of the
poor, there would have been a general
movement throughout Europe to ship
all native paupers to the United
States as the easiest way in which
to relieve the communities on which
they now constitute a burden. Such
a movement actually obtained some
headway in England y/lth the opening
of the recent rate war between the
Atlantic steamship ;tnes, and during
the interval between the first sale of
tickets at reduced rates and the ac
tion of the American authorities in de
porting such assisted persons.
Naturalization Frauds.
“The present system of issuing nat
uralization papers in the United States
is a prolific source of fraud in the emi
grant traffic. An American naturaliza
tion certificate carries on its face no
means of identifying the real owner.
His name is merely stated. An origi
nal or certified copy of one of these
papers can be sent to an intending
emigrant in any foreign country and
used by hiin to secure a passport on
the ground that the certificate is his
owa and he, as an American citizen,
is entitled to enter the United States
regardless of his nossible undesirabili-
ty under the immigration law. As a
rule the alleged citizen speaks some
language requiring the services of an
interpreter, generally of limited in
telligence, and careful cross-examina
tion is impossible. When his applica
tion for a passport has been approved
by the American consul nothing is
left for the embassy to do but to grant
a passport upon these representations,
which passport guarantees admission
to the United States.
“It has been suggested that nat
uralization certificates, when issued in
the United States, should carry upon
their face either a photograph or a
description by measurements and
marks of the party to whom the cer
tificate is issued and that each certi
fied copy should be as complete in its
usefulness as the original. I am con
vinced that by some such method the
element of fraud in the issuing of pass-*
ports abroad could be reduced to the
minimum.
“I am informed that the embassy in
Rome in a single year issues as many
as 1,500 passports upon the presenta
tion of naturalization certificates or
copies thereof by Italians claiming to
be American citizens. A large pro
portion of these come from ‘West
chester county, New York, though it
is only Yair to say that nearly every
other state in the union is represented
during the year’s business.
“Another form of abuse is the im
portation of women from the Levant
and elsewhere by naturalized Amer
ican citizens. All these women are
required to do is to state under oath
that they are the wives of che men
sending for them and they are allowed
to depart for the United States with
out restriction, becoming American
citizens by virtue of their husbands’
naturalization.
“If they are refused transportation
because of coming within the prohib
ited c’ issification of the American im
migration law they send to the United
States for a certified copy of their al
leged husband’s naturalization papers
and secure a passport in that man
ner. There is no proof of marriage
under the present system. Should the
United States government decide to re
quire a passport from each immigrant,
certified by the officials of the land
of his nativity, this abuse could be
stopped.”
Bogus American Citizens.
In the city of Jerusalem Mr. Braun
found over 1,000 “American citizens.”
the vast majority of whom, being He
brews, live there for religious pur
poses. These alleged citizens, al
though they enjoy and avail them
selves of the high privilege and protec
tion of American citizenship, are in
truth and in fact not Americans at all,
and quite a number of them have be
come naturalized by fraud. In some
instances the fraud by which these
people became naturalized was so
flagrantly apparent that Mr. Braun
was induced thereby to procure,
through the United States consul,
some of the certificates of naturaliza
tion and United States passports, as
well as other papers and documents of
those suspected.
It is the opinion of Mr. Braun, as
well as others well versed in immi
grant conditions in this country, that
over 200,000 aliens come here who. al
though they may be able to earn a
living, are yet of bad character, bad
antecedents or of diseased blood.
Their coming benefits nobody but the
steamship companies.
Checking the Lottery Evil.
The secret service officials believe
that the. sale of lottery tickets in this
country has been effectually broker,
up by a number ot arrests and con
fiscation of tickets at different points.
The headquarters of the lottery com
bine was in San Francisco, but they
had traveling men on the road estab-
Lshing agencies. Nearly all the men
prominently identified with the con
cern have been arrested, and arrests
hate been made in half a dozen dif
ferent different cities of the country
of people who received shipments of
tickets. Secret service agents have
done most of tho work, but where
there were no agents the arrests have
been made by United States marshals.
The prosecution of the lottery people
was started by the district attorney
of San Francisco, and he has been
helped by the department of justice,
Assistant Attorney General Purdy be
ing in charge. There is little doubt,
says the Washington Star, that the
business will be broken up. The law
prevents the shipment of lottery tick
ets by any form of conveyance in
this country, and the person who re
ceives such a ticket is as liable as the
person who shipped it.

SAVED CHILD’S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd’s
Kidney Pills.
Sedgwick, Ark., June 19. —The ease of W.
S. Taylor’s little son is looked upon by
those interested in medical matters as one
of the most ■wonderful on record. In this
connection his father makes the following
statement: —
“Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to such an extent that he could not walk
or put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to
do him no good, and two or three people
said his days were short, even the doctors,
two of the best in the country told me he
would not get better. I stopped them
medicine and at once sent for Dodos
Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth day
the swelling -was all gone, but to give
the medicine justice, 1 gave him eleven
more Pills. I used thirty-five Pills in all
and he was entirely cured. I consider
your medicine saved my child’s life. When
the thirty-five Pills were given him, he
could run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in Ins mother’s arms
from morning until night.”
