TAFT IS JUDGE
At ELLIS ISLAND
President Sits with immigration
Commission Williams on
Appealed Cases
ASSOCIATED PressJ

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-President
Taft had his first view today of that
wonderful piece of machinery on ELLIS
island, where the aliens of many
countries undergo their first gruelling
on the road to American citizenship.
During the investigation the presi-
dent sat with immigration Commls-
sioner Williams in a number or ap-
pealed cases.
Mr.. Taft proved a lenient judge, and
it was happy fate which brought
nearly a score Of rejected immigrants
to the bar for final decision on the
day of the presidents visit.
AS a result of his studies and OBJ
servations today Mr. Taft reached To-
night a pretty definite conclusion on
three points:
First. that strong effort should be
made to distribute the influx OF for
eigners and do away with present con-
gestion in New York.
Second, that heavier penalties snouIo
be exacted of the steamship COM
panies for infractions of the lmmlsra-
ton rules.
Third, that all male immigrants
upon their arrival here should be ex-
amined as TO the condition OF faInllles
left behind in Europe.
one of the difficunit problems OF the
Immigration service has been the sep
aration OF families, but the president
believes the problem can be solved py
recurring immigrants to tell in advance
whether families left behind are eligible
for admission under the immigration
laws.
When George Thornton, a Welsh MIN
er. and his seven children were called
before Commissioner Williams ana
President Taft there was much eXclte-
ment throughout the station. All the
under officials there had taken an IN
terest in the miner, and although ne
had been disqualified under physical
examination, they still hoped he might
be admitted. His wife died last August,
and he had decided to quit Wales and
come to this country to seek new
start in life.
President Taft took hand IN ques-
tioning the miner and brought out that
the man had a sister, Mrs. Sarah Wepp'
in Pittsbrug. 1t was decided to let the
miner in.
Thornton's children range in age from
to 10 years. He got a ticket for MIN
self and them to Pittsburg and the
party left in a happy mood.
When the president asked Thornton
what funds he had Thornton replied:
"One hundred and sixty-five dollars
and two hands"

CRAFT BADLY BATTERED
It is also probable that the craft
had suffered severely from the jerking
Of its great rat-like tail, or equilibra-
tor, which served the triple purpose
Of elongated gasoline tank, balance

Wellman had flashed by wireless to
Siasconsett that this immense appen-
dage, battered by the waves, had
caused trouble.
The America was 228 feet long and
81 feet in diameter, with lifting ca
pacity of 23,650 pounds. The envelope
alone weighed two tons. There were
three gasoline engines on board, two
of from 80 to 80 horsepower for the
propellers, and the smaller for the
operation of a donkey engine. Taken
as a whole, the craft was practically
the same in. which Wellman made his
two starts for the north pole in 1907
and 1909 Neither of these attempts
was successful.
The first trip was abandoned when
the America was driven toward
Jagged cliff; the second was given up
because Of the breaking of a long trail
rope stored with provisions, not un-
similar to the equilibrator of the trip
just ended.
Mr.. Wellnan is 81 years old and was
