Her shame would never lave been revealed if it had not been for the desire of the gentleman from New York to besmirch the good name of a great and puremined official. Now. what has Commissioner Howe been doing while in office in addition to writing three booksand.. by the way. he has not written three books since lie has been commissioner of iimigration. but that is a detail of small importance. and it is quite as reliable and accurate as most of the statements made by the gentleman? The Secretary of Labor reported to the Committee on Immigration that Mr. Howe. while writing these 3 books and these 16 magazine articles referred to by the gentleman from New York. had "made thorough Investigation with experts as to thecost of the hospitals. which were alleged to be selfsustaining. The commissioner found that the hospitals were losing over $100.000 a year. which loss was being paid by the Government for the benefit of the steamship companies." Are there any attorneys for steamiship companies in the House?
