Washington. July 25.—('Special.)—The

In the United States will bo one of the
results of the Kishinef massacres accord
ing to a report that has lust been re
ceived by Commlsioner General of Im
migration Sargent from Marcus Brar.it,
confidential agent of the Immigration bu
reau in Europe.
Mr. Brann says that very few of those
who would be desirable acquisitions to
the population of the United States are
willing to leave the country. lie was In
formed by a wealthy Hebrew a mem-,
her of the relief committee, that the
committee had under advisement the qu s
os sending a large number of families
to the United Stajes byway of Copen
hagen. V. lvn Mr Braun (jailed his atten
tion to the fact that under the immigra
tion laws of the United States, assisted
immigrants were not admissible to the
■United Slates, the committeeman said
that that matter would be left to the
Jewish Colonization Association and the
B'Nai Brith in the United States.
How Immigrants Are Aided.
As illustrating the way in which the
Jewish Immigrants are aid'd in coming
to the United States, Mr. Braun says that,
he found that th' re was a regular ship
ment of about 300 Jews per week from
Itoumania to America. A few of these
go to Canada, but the great majority of
them are bound for the U.nited States.
They are in charge of Jewish societies,
but he was told tjiat they w re not as
sisted financially. Il was represented to
him that they simply asked and received
the moral support of the Jewish socie
ties to avoid trouble with the authoriths
of the countries through which they
passed.
Mr. Braun traveled through Russia and

visited many of the centers from which I
the United States receives a large pro-*
portion of the Hebrew immigration. He
cays:
“From personal interviews with a great
number of these would-be immigrants, I
found them to be absolutely of the unde
sirable class. But by the time they ar
rive at som< por« of the United States, I
} am afraid they are well Instructed and
purified.”
In a separate report from Jassy, Rou
mania, Mj. Braun says that he talked
with an employee in a steamship immi
gration bureau who "blujitly answer'd
my question as to why th&y book so I
many immigrants jo the United States by '
way of Canada as follows: ‘You sc<> i
there are two reasons, in the first place
the control at Canadian ports is not as I
strict, and, second, it is about twenty ru- !
tiles cheaper.’
"At my further questioning as to why I
they fear the control which is established ;
at the ports of the United States, lie smd ,
that in many instances an immigrant !
family has one or two members suffering
from trachoma, and, on account, of that,
th" whole tally is sent. back, 'it is true,'
he further said, ‘that the Canadian au
thorities are not so strict about it when
they find that the immigrant In question
goes to the United States.’
“I asked whether he was aware that
the inspection at the Canadian border :
was just as strict ns at any seaport f;
the United States and he told me that ho i
was. l>ut that these Immigrants, having •
in most cases relatives in the United I
States, are instructed by them to star In
some place In Canada until they calf for
them, and that these instructions are car- '
tied out in every case."
Avoiding- Contract Labor Laws.
Mr. Braun reports that while In Vienna
he Investigated the methods employed to -
avoid the alien contract labor laws and 1
, found that those laws are laughed at. In
tended Immigrants are put through a i
course of Instruction, as a result of 1
which they are able to meet all of the ;
questions asked. The business of supply- i
ing Stave cutters for the Tennessee woods i
is carried on extensively In Vienna. La- |
borers order contract as stave cutters |
are sent to Newport News or Galveston j
land from th'-nee to Tennessee by rail. I

Mr. Braun expresses the opinion that I

could 1," kept out of the United States if i
all the "little tricks and crooked prac- !
tices of the immigration .agents We.'e
known. He is continuing his investiga i
tions and is furnishing information that l
will probably be made the (basis of
- against many of the steamshii !
companies and their agents. He says 1
that a favorite route by which undesirable
i immigrants are gotten into the United i
States is by sending them to .Mexico and !
then getting them across the border int i i
Texas .--ui some place off the railroad

The resolutions declare that the south

MUTINY ENDS AT COLE CITY
Beck and Jordan Were Shot Down
Quelling the Disturbance.
Because the number of guards at Coal
City were considered insufficient, thirty
nine of the negro convicts who took part
in Friday’s mutiny were taken to tiie
furnace at Rising Fawn, Ga.
With this departure and the strength
ening of tiie guards now at Coal City,
the situation at that place Sunday af
ternoon was one of quiet and order. In
the morning Judge Turner, chairman
of the state prison commission, and j
Deputy Warden Moore appeared before ;
the convicts and made addresses in :
which they stated the authority of the :
guards, the provisions of the law and the i
fact that discipline must and would be
maintained and if needs be at any cost.
The men who had been put in chains
were then ordered to go back to work,
and although there were some remon
strances. there were no open demonstra
tions of any kind and the convicts again
resumed their regular duties. It is gen
erally conceded that with the removal
of the thirty-nine negroes the guards
are sufficient to cope with any uprising
and quell any movement at its very In
ception.
It now develops that the whole trouble
stnrU d Friday morning because on<- Hen
ry Lowe, who cursed a guard, refused
to be whipped. When an effort was made
In this direction he irjide a dash at
Deputy Warden Goode with a heavy piece
of timber and threatened to brain the
officer. Immediately 125 other convicts
joined In the mutiny and rushed upon
the officers.
With the first Intimation of the assault
five guards fired and as a result Joe
Beck, a long term convict from south
Georgia, had his cheek shot off with
buckshot. "Snaps” Jordan, also from
south Georgia, was shot through the leg.
and another negro had his shirt front
shot away and was wounded in the
breast. AU of the three negroes shot
were leaders in the uprising
Lowe and another negro were whipped
after the trouble was settled and the
convicts were placed on a. di.it of bread
and water and threatened with no sus
tenance. These vigorous measures had
the effect of quelling the mutiny very
soon and the men seemed glad to go
back to worst on any of peace.
