Acheson. who has taken personal charge of the trailing of the leaders of the gang. has secured evidence that the anarchistic society has practically honeycombed the county. Mr. Chairman. while I am on this subject I want to give some other reasons why we should stop this wholesale and indiscriminate immigration. for it is not only filling up the country with conspirators against all forms of law. but is filling our prisons. almshouses. and asylums. entailing extra burdens upon our people. In 1904 there were 44.668 alien inmates in our penal reformatory and charitable institutions. Of this number 4.011 were criminals of grave offenses. 5.664 were criminals of minor offenses. 20.389 were insane. and 14.604 were paupers.
