PRESIDENT TAFT At ELLIS ISLAND
First View of the Gruelling Aliens Must Undergo on
the Road to American Citizenship President Reach
es Pretty Definite Conclusion Three Points

First, he believes that strong eff
fort should be made to distribute the
influx of foreigners and do away with
the present congestion in New York.
Second he believes that heavier pen
alties should be exacted of the steam
ship companies for infractions of the
immigration rules so as to make them
more strict in their examination of
immigrants before shipping them in
foreign ports.
Third, he believes that all male i'm
migrants upon their arrival here should
be put through thorough examination
as to the condition of families left be-
hind in Europe. One of the most diff
ficult human problems of the immigra-
ton service has been the separation of
families, but the president believes the
problem can be solved by requiring i'm
migrants to tell in advance whether
or not families left behind are eligible
for admission under the immigration
laws.
FIatfooted immigrants Admitted.
Some aliens suffering from f1atfoot
were fortunate in being brought before
the president He declared that while
f1atfoot interfered with q number of
occupations, 1T was possible for per-
sons so afflicted to follow many usefu!
trades. The fatfooted immigrants
went joyously on their way to New
York.
When George Thoriton the Welsh
miner. and his seven children were
called before Commissioner Williams
and President Taft, there was much
excitement throughout the station. All
of the under officials there had taken
an interest in the miner. and although
he should be disqualified under phySl-
| cal examination, they still hoped that
| he might be admitted. His vito died
| last August and he had decided to quit
| Wales and come to this country to seek
| a new start in life.

New York, Oct. 1S.-President Taft
had his first view today of that Won
derful piece of machinery on Ellis Is
land where the aliens of many coun-
tries undergo their first gruelllng on
the road to American citizenship. He
spent fivelhours in the one place in the
United States where the rights of hu-
man liberty temporarily are suspended
by executive action alone, while the te-
diOus work of separating the moder-
ately good from the wholly bad goes
on day after day until at the end of
each calendar year the number of i'm
migrants passed upon and admitted or
rejected amounts up into the millions.
The human interest side of the work
at the big immigrant station appealed
to the president keenly.
President Takes Hand in the Exam
ination.
During his investigation the presi-
dent sat with immigration Commits
sioner William williams in a number
of appealed cases. Mr.. Taft proved a
lenient Judge, and it was indeed a
happy fate which brought nearly a
score of rejected immigrants to the
bar for final decision on the day of the
presidents visit. The president took
q hand in the examination of practical
ly all the immigrants who came up on
appeal. There were Slavs, Poles,
Greeks and Italians. but the most in
teresting case of all was that of a
Welsh miner and his family of seven
nnotherless children The president
personally directed that the family be
admitted. and he declared that if he
was at all a judge of human nature the
seven children would grow into the
best type of citizens
Three Conclusions Reached.
AS result Of his studies and OBJ
esrvations today, Mr.. Taft had reached
tonight a pretty definite conclusion on
three points:
