Mr. Chairman. I do not know what the practice Is at the ports on the Pacific coast. but I do know that at the port of New York the officers of the Immigration Service have been exceptionally severe in the enforcement of this law in respect to the disease mentioned by the gentleman from California. I know of cases where people were about to be deported on account of having trachoma. and who through the aid of their friends. additional bonds given by their friends. were allowed to go to hospitals and were examined and treated. and it was found that they did not have trachoma at all.
