ALIEN DEPORTATION
AMENDMENT URGED
Commissioner Woods Cites
Statistics Of Criminals to
Committee Of Congress.
FIGURES FROM SING SING

Police Commissioner Woods appeared
before the House Committee on 1mmi-
grafton in Washington yesterday to urge
the passage of an amendment to the
immigration law eliminating the three
year limit for the deportation Of alien
undesirables. Under the present law
no alien can be deported after remain
ing for three a In this country,
ven though he has n criminal record
at home and had concealed h n fact
when allowed to enter his country in
violation Of the law.
The amendment proposed by Com
missioner Woods provides for the depor-
tation Of allen criminals at any timo
prior To- naturalization. ln support Of
his plan the Commissioner produced
figures and charts showing the enormous
number IN his country of criminals of
foreign birth. who are now free. or will
he get free at the expiration OF Jail sem
fences. for whom there Ia no law TO
send them back 70 the country OF their
nativity.
The most important chart shown by
Mr.. Woods was the record of the con-
victs in Sing Sing. There are 1850
inmates Of the prison now. and OF that
number 602 are aliens. who on the
expiration OF their terms will be turned
loose upon the state. Protection from
these dangerous felons is the chief rea-
son for the amendment. The chart of
alien felons in Sing Sing and the various
crimes for which they are In prison
