A large number of Hebrews will come
from Europe to the United States dur
ing the winter months. In conversation
with a New York reporter, commissioner
Stephenson, of the emigration board,
saia: "Somehow or other these people
seem as a rule, to have friends who will
take care of them until they can provide
for themselves. ' I have noticed that in
