whether or not families left behind are
eligible for admission under the I'M
migration laws.
Mr.. Taft was urged today to use his
influence in getting an appropriation
from Congress which would practically
double the facilities at Ellis island.
This he will decline to do. He holds
the view that if the Ellis island facill-
ties were doubled, it would simply
mean a further inducement to the
steamship companies to concentrate
their immigrant traffic in this city. II
additional facilities must be provided
for immigrants, the President thinks
that stations should be established at
other ports along the coast. This
would mean, of course, that the steam
ship companies being notified that on
ly certain number of immigrants
could be handled in New York and
that aliens in excess of this number
should be taken to other ports. A
number of movements are under way,
fostered principally by foreign socie-
ties, to distribute the immigrants ar
irving daily in America. Mr. Taft is
of the opinion that by increasing the
points of distribution, the congestion
Of foreigners on the East side of New
York can be greatly relieved.
President Taft believes that the
work at Ellis island has been reduced
to as near a science as is possible.
