ODonnell says that they have been forced to suspend the payment of hospital expenses to the States for the maintenance of alieus. and so forth. You do not propose to give them enough money to do it. Then the time has come for another census of penal and reformatory and penal institutions as required by the immigration act of 1907. Furthermore. Mr. ODonnell declares that the bureau is hailpered by lack of funds requisite for the investigations incident to the deportation of persons under the whiteslave act. Likewise. the everincreasing force of inspectors will be cramped in the matter of salaries. I shall not move to raise this amount by $260.000 so is to meet the conservative estimate of the Bureau of Immigration. for the mreason that I realize the strength that the gentleman from New York deservedly has in this committee. I know there are very few Members present. I know there are a number of gentlemen who have not heard the discussion who will conme out of the catacombs yonder and pass down tile aisle and view the remains and defeat this extra appropriation.
