Inasmuch as the question was originally addressed to me. I will say in reply that. in view of the defective construction of the building now in use. it is practically impossibleit is impossibleto thoroughly enforce the immigration laws at the port of Philadelphia as they are enforced at other ports. The building is utterly unsuited. There is no proper light. there is no proper space. there are no proper facilities. I stood there myself for hours and watched the very conscientious doctor. Doctor Clark. who conducts the examinations. and I marveled at the result he got in a place where he had no light and where he had practically no private rooms for examination where those who were being even temporarily detained were herded together in a board inclosure.
