Btatement of A, Bernstein Concerning the Work in This City—How Maiden Lives are Being Wrecked, Omaha, Des Moines and St. Joseph are in- terested in a plot which has just been dis covered tolead four young girls into a life of shame. The young ladies in question belong to highly respectable families living fn East Des Moines, The scieme which has been undor way for some time had its.inception in tho corrnpe mind of & wicked woman, Ella Miller, who runs a place at $17 Main streot, St. Josoph, Mo., and who was_using or pre- tonding to use as her aily, S. Bernstein, whose place of business is 210 South Twelfth street, in this cit The St. Joo woman has, 0 far as_has been ascertalned, played the chiof part in tho plot. She has veen for some time carrying on a clandestine correspondence with tho Des Moines girls and it was one of her letters which found its way to the parents of one of the Des Moinos girls that exposed the plot.

They found “Anita Benson,” but weve unable to get any conclu- sive evidenco from hor. She, howover, ad- mitted knowing the girl who goes by the alias sy’ and also such o person as “Miss but beyond that she professed d ignorance in regard to the caso, It was further learned that the four girls tmplicated have been in the habit, for some time, of recerving mail under fictitiou and that, although ther corresponde not very heavy, yet many lotters had been receivBd from St. Josoph, Kunsas City and Omana, o majority of which wero addressed in the same woman's haud writing. It takes no hawk-oyed detective to see that it all is a schome of the St. Joseph procuress to get more victims, and that she worked upon the old lines of writing to the girls of the con tinuous rounds of pleasurc to be had in her pluce, oto. How she first became uc- quainted with her intended victims is o mystery which has not, as yet, boen solved. That the four girls were “dissatisfied with their homes: that they craved a life of o citement und Jiko too many young unsophisti cated girls, jgnorant of the world and its ways, they thought the life of immorality to to be their goal of happiness, must bo taken for granted. One of the inténded victims in peaking of the caso said she was uot treated el ‘at Home; that sho was not drossed. as well s hor companions; that whilo many of ner girl friends had advantagos and oppor- tumties given them by wealthy parents she was forced to do housework aud curped in her desires for pleasuro.

Aftor Mr. Bernstein aad acknowlodged that he was indeed tho Abraham sought the reporter confidentially whispered in his ear: T was down in St Joo the other day and £lla Miller told mo that some parties from Dos Moi os woula be hero beforo long. Are they iz yet?” S don't know—I dow't know,” was the hasty reply, and Mr. Bernstein edired away s triflo and gazed hard and suspiciously at his visitor in the dim lignt. “Yos, I was down there,” continued the reporter soothingly, “aud Ella said they would probably bo hiere by the time I got back,” “A pretty little tip, you see,” and Abra- ham smiled sympathotically. “Now then, Abg, T want 1o know whero they are, said they would bo hore some place, and that sho had written to you about it.

Tmmigration Commissioner Shulties Tel's a Rtevolting Story of His Trip, New Yous, Nov. 17.—When Colonel Loe, Superintendent Weber's immigration in- spector, went aboard the Servia at quaran- tine to talk with the steerage passengers yesterday, he noticed that one of them, a man, had a mysterious air about him. Tho passonger appeared to be about 38 years of age. Ho was strikingly dark and wore a black mustache, He was good looking, oo, Thero was an unmistakable American air about the stranger, but his attire was that of the typical immigrant. His cheeks were colored with nature's bloom, his oyes were bright and twinkling, his pace was straight, his foot were in wooden sabots, in which ho walked clumsily. The blue jeans pants and frock seemed four sizes too small for the w TALES FROM Colonel Loe was not satisfied, 1t was evi dent to him that the immigrant in sabots was trying to avoid him. When the colonel left the wooden shoes tramped forward. When the colonel went forward, tho clang of tho sabots could be heard going down the com panion-way. It was a spirited game of hide and seck, which the colonel and the wooden shoes played for an hour. Finally the wooden shoes were brought to bay on the forward deck. “Great heavens,” involuntarily cjaculated the colonel. “*Where have I seen that race bofore! This is a great mystery.’ The colonel pondered and pondered. Sud deniy the truth flashed upon him. The man was Immigration Commissioner Shultics, “Well, my friend,” said the colonel, ad- dressing the immigrant, “how are you! Where are you bound “Me no specka ta Englees,” said the migrant, shrugging s shoulders Parisian style and turning his palms ward, at the same time roliing his eyes ner- vously. Then, by dint of pretended hard work, ho managed to get the immigrant's stateient that he was going west to obtain cmployment, and went away without appear- ing to recognize Shultie: Colonel Lee intended to call Colon ~ Web- er’'s attention to the arrival of Immi- grant Commissioner Shulties, disgmsed as an immigrant. But the commissioner (for it was one of the special commissioners sent abroad recoutly).saved him the trouble. ~ As soon as tho barge containing the Servia's steerage passengers arrived arvived at the Commissioner Snulties,: who was still_among them, accosted Contract Labor Inspector C. H. Gallagher, and in an authoridve mauner demanded that “all these immigrants be detaiued.” ““More than half of these people are paup- ers,” ho said, “and at least one of the women is an unfit chinracter to bo allowed to go.” There were 225 in all—thirty-eight being Hebrews and 157 Swedes and Norwegians. Mr. Shulties sclected a number of peo- ple. Ihey were closely examinad and founa 1o be very worthy seople, who either haa comfortable sums of moncy with them or well-to-do _relatives who were ready to vouch for them. In fact, every case that hulties pointed out readily passed the ion required by law A moraing newspaper prints a page de- voted to alleged details of Commissioner Shulties steerage trip, that gentleman's pres- and secret having been discovered, it is aftivmed, by a correspondent of tho paper priuting the story. Following is an extract from this printed story of what the American commissioner saw and felt and neard in the steerage The fi im- true up four day the of the vovage were one long agozy in stecrage. The weather was boisterous and tho ship heaved ana recled. The wir in the steerage quarters was vilo beyoud description. The floor and w; of the closet on tne upper deck recked W filth, Indescribavle odors arose in differo airections. In one place seventeen Russian Jows lay helpless and almost speechless in tho agonics of sea sicikness. 'The Jowish mother and her children wero tortured by the motion of tho vessel. On all sides were men and women in their own fiith, but for three days no doc- tor appeared. Thero was a doctor on board tue ship. of course. He wore a vold sashed uniform and wa ¥ populur among tho the cabin passengers, He was supposed to visit the immigrauts at 10 o'clock every moruing, but morning after morning passed and no doctor appearcd. Meanwhilo all was wretchedness and squalor. Men who could not be affected by the motion of the boat be- came sick in the presence of so much foul- ness. The upper veatilation windows were Kept securely fastonod. Men and women tried to stagger up the long steep flights of that lea to_tne closets, and in many down azain and abaudoned them- to the situation. Suilors and under stewards, firemen and stokers nad free access to the women's quar- ters, They cume in under the plea of nursing tho poor wretches and ended by embrucing them, There seemed to bo no officer wh ose duty it was to prevent these things, or if there was, he failed _to do his duty. ' In ono caso Commissioner Shulties saw a brutal ploye of the ship lustfully caressiug an im- migrant girl in the actual throes of s easick- ness and unable to rosis Tho commissioner carried very little money. in his pocket and most of it was spent in buying ginger ale and procuring delicacies for the sick. Ho spent most of his time in nursing his unfortunaie fellows, At night heslept in o little compartment containing twenty-four bunks, the slecpers packed to- gother liko savdines, although thero was a vory small number of bourd—somothing over 250, 1t was not_until Wednosday that the doctor came to the stecrage quarters. This same doetor is supposed to have vaccinated all the immigrants. As a matter of fact ho k 10 twenty-five min- v of his work may be by Commissioner Shulties' exper- ience. The commissioner has uever been vaccinated. He simply rolled up his sleove and the doctor handed him a ticket certifying that he had been vaccinated, Tuese tickets were dealt out almost as fast as the doctor's hana could move, ‘The 1tim cy of the employes of the ship with the helpless immizrant girls grew hour by hour. One fircman or stoker actually boasted to Commissioner Snulties of his con- quest over a sick girl, deseribing to him how his victim watched him every moment while ho was nursing ber, Often the poor creatures paid for a fow mouthfuls of food curried from the employes' tablo by submitting to the most shimotul caresses, Thero seomed to be no safeguord for virtue, nor pity for inno- aonce ght carnality reigned on the The commiissioner saw sail- ors und stokers and firomen dancing for hours witn immigrant girls against the rules of the vessel and then embracing them in the dark corners, lying on the decks with them under the cover of their blankots and crawl- ing into dark corners and shadowy rooms over tho boilers, Thera were officers on tho boat, but none of them seemed to visit these dark corners or pay any attention to them. Of course the captain could not have been awaro of the indecency that pervaded every couvenient section of the steerage quarters, but thero were the scenes and there was tho commissioner. He had eyes to see and ears to bear, Timo after time the impuiso to make himself known and protest against the immoralities appavent on every side seized him, but that would haye meant tho utter failire of his mission.

Vela VELAsco, Tex., Nov. 14.—For twenty years decp water on tho gulf coast bas bsen’ the great desideratum of the whole west. The peoplo have met in great conventions to deliberato upon and discuss this problem, They have petitioned, begged and demanded of congress large appropriations to be used in deepening aifferent harbor eutrances. All goverument work failed to accomplish any perceptible fmprovement. Two years ugo, upon plans made by Mr. E. L. Corthell, who was chief to Captain Eads on the work at the mouth of the Mississippi, a compauy of well-kiown suc. cessful business men, 1ncluding Senator C B. Farwell, Congressman Abuer Taylor (who built the mugniticent state nouse at Austin, Tex.,) Mr. W. M. D. Lee, G. W Angle, and others, commenced the wor of building jetties at tho mouth of the Brazos river, Mr. Corthell assiired these men that when the work was completed they would have twenty-three feet of water. The jetties huve been built, though not quite finisned. One million five hundred thousand doliars have been expended, but not one cent of it was government mouey. When the work was commenced the water was only four and a balf feet deep. On July 10, just ip drawing sixteen and a half feet of water sailed over the bar through the jetties up to the wharves at Velasco. Many others simco drawing more water than any that evor ilveston have un- loaded cargoes at V Tho water is deepening all the time and today a vessel drawing eighteen feet can come over the bar.

Loxpoy, Nov. 17.—The town of Wey- meuth has a sensation which 15 a matter of general discusston among the large number of persons who, owing to the salubrity of its climate, spend the autumn _and winter theve. The excitement was caused by the arrest of a youth named Wise, who is 17 vears of age, and an apprentice of her majosty’s training ship Boscawen on a chargo of murdor. The Boscawen recently visited Weymouth and is at present anchored off the port. Sun- ay a number of boys asked for and obtained liberty to visit theshore. Among them wero Wiso and another youth who, when they reached the shore, started for a stroll on the cliffs. They procecded laugning and chat ting and enjoying themselves in the mauuer of boys ushore for o lark. Rinally they reached a place where the cliffs stand seventy feet above the stretch of shore beneath Here the two boys stood looking seaward vhen suddenly and without provocation or carning Wise placed his hunds against his companion and exerting all his strength, shoved him over the eage of the precipice. With a shrick of terror the doomed lad fell vith frightful velocity upon the rocks below. Entirely unconscious of the terrible crime he had committed, Wise returned to town and subsequently returned to his duties on board ish Ap- sln‘) hen Wise's companion did not return at the oxpiration of tno time aliowed him, the ofticers of the ship made inquiries, and when they questioned Wise the latter toid them that he had pushed bim over the chff. Au investigation was immediately made, and on reaching a spot on tho shoro below the point indicated by Wise in his confession, the ofti- cers found thu body of the boy.
