ABSOLUTELY PURE
IMPORTEDVVORKMEN
There Is Much Discontent in
Key West, Fla.
CUBANS COMING OVER.
Claims Are Made That the Im
migration Laws Are Being
Violated in Key West.
New York, Jan. 18. —A special to The
World from Key West says:
The importation of workmen from
Havana in violation of the immigration
laws goes on. The authorities at Wash
ington communicated with the local in
spector of immigration, calling his at
tention to the alleged violation of the
law and instructing the officer to carry
the law into effect.
A special inquiry was also ordered,
composed of residents of this town spe
cially appointed. A large number of
men who had not yet been discharged
were examined and discharged. Evi
dence was offered to prove the falsity of
the statements made by the immigrants,
but the board, acting under the advice
of the United States district attorney of
this district, refused to hear any evi
dence except that of the immigrants
themselves, who were not examined un
der oath.
Witnesses were at hand ready to swear
that these immigrants were informed on
their arrival that they would be asked
whether their passage had been paid;
whether they were asked to come he- j
to work; that they were to answer that
they had paid their own passage and had
come into the country voluntarily seek
ing work.
The board refused to hear this testi
mony or any other that was offered.
The situation in a nutshell is this:
The commit: ee of officials and citizens
who went to Havana and published the
call for workmen do not intend, if they
can help it, to allow the men to be de
ported; first, because it would defeat
their plans, and, second, because they
now Recognize that such a decision by
the treasury department would probably
end in their prosecution under the im
migration laws, under which those who
aid contract laborers to enter the coun
try are liable to a fine of SI,OOO for each
violation of the law.
When it is considered that several ’
hundred men have been brought over
liere, the interest of the committee and
the Qeidenbergs to keep them here will
readily be seen.
One man, Gonzalez by name, has re
turned to Havana and published a letter,
in which he says that his passage and
that of his companions was paid by the
committee, and that they had been
schooled as to the answers they were to
make to the examination of the authori
ties. Gonzalez says that he is willing to
come to Key West to tell the truth.
Mayor Perry, of this city, who headed
the committee to Havana, is an employe
of the Seidenberge.
The committee even went so far aa to
call on the governor general of Cuba to
obtain his consent to the emigration of
mon, subject to a call for military duty.

ner, who has recently been over Middle

:TH£ ROILINd MILL
| -7 •’ ; -J ’
Was ‘Sold Yesterday by Re
'Colver Reynold's.
BOUGHT IN FOR JUST $2,700
By Mr. Harper Hamilton—The
Bondholders Were Present.
Everybody Surprised.
The Rome rolling mill property war
sold yesterday morning at receiver’a sale.
Mr. John B. Reynolds, tbe receiver, act
ing in tbe capacity of auctioneer.
The bondbo'dera were present, and it
was considered a sure thing that tbe.i
wou'd buy in the property to cover tbe
bonds amouo'ing to $1 ,000.
But they did not, and the propert*
sold at the ridiculously low figure oi
$2790 It was bought in by Mr. Harpet
Hamilton. The oidding was never .ex
citing. Captain Seay started it off with
SIOO, which Mr. Hamilton raised to
SI,OOO. Then the bondholders took aha id,
but did not bold it very long. They
hardly ever raised Mr. Hamilton’s bid
over $25, and only then after long delays.
Their last bid w«s $2750 » ben they no
tified Mr. Reynolds they were through.
It was an unexpeettd turn of affairs,
and bv it Mr. Hamilton got the property,
vain- d variously from $30,000 to SOO 000
at a price that made men wonder when
they realized it.
There was all sorts of talk abont it
being bid in for other parties, but when
seen Mr. Hamilton had little to say ex
cept that be was surprised when it was
knocked down to him at that figure.
“What are you going to ao with it?’’
he was asked.
“Oh, I don’t know yet I bad no idea
f buying it, and hav< n’t had time yet to
come to any cot c usion. I hop- it will be
so that the mill can be put in operation
at no distant day. But aa I said, I don’t
know what will be done.”
Among those at the sale were Mess’ a.
Prosper Lnz»rd, G. N. Henson and I.
Noa, Chattanooga bondholders.
