SAYS HOWE HELD UP ORDERS FOR
 DE:P0RTATI0NS
Orders from Department of La Dor Are Overridden in Many
 Cases, Witness Declares.
NO AUTHORITY FOR
 ACTIONS AT LAW
Some of Radicals Affected by Order Later Were Releafed by Depart ment; Others \ eed by Ha-
 beas Corpu Writs.

New York, Novf 2S.-Testimory that Frederic c. HMe, former com missioner of immigration at Ellis Island had ordered Appropriations of radicals held up although final de- portaton orders had been received from the department of labor was given to the house immigration com mittee today by Percy A. Baker, superintendent of the island. Baker submitted in evidence, an order he had received from Howe last March reading:
 "You will stay all deportations in these aliens cases until the attorneys can be advised and until after con- sultation with me-"
 Baker testified that an order of the department to deport was final and he. therefore, did not under stand the note from Howe and con- suited him. Baker then made this memorandum on the copy of the ord CT shown the committee:
 Commissioner states if deporta- tion orders are received, before doing so he should be consulted"
 Representative Siegel of New York said there was no authority in law for staying of deportations.
 Permitted Delays.
 Baker said that some of the radi- calls affected by the stay had been released by the department and some had obtained their freedom bv habeas corpus proceedings. The effect of Howe's order. he said, probably was to permit delay for the institution of habeas corpus proceedings.
 Representative Siegel read from immigration departNent ..4 records names of two dozen men who had been held at the island with warrants for their deportation but later had been released, mostly on their own recognizance. They are now miss ing. Howe interrupted Bakers tes- timonv in an effort to give his yer sion of the matter, but was shut off by the committee. which promised him an opportunity to be heard later. Failing to obtain permission to testi- fly earlier in the day. Howe had is- sued a statement to the press, say ing that he had never released a radical without orders from Wash ington.

Maintenance Work
 on Cotton Belt Is
 Found to Be Needed

Little Rock, Nov. 28.-Maintenance work on the Cotton Belt lines in Ar kansas is urged by the Arkansas cor poration commission in report to Vim. N. Neff, federal manager of the railroad, as the result of a tour of inspection made several weeks ago by the members of the commission.
 The inspection was made following issuance of a statement by J. M. Herbert, president of the Cotton Belt. that the railroad had been permitted to deteriorate under federal opera tion until conditions at some points were dangerous. The Texas railroad commission made similar inspection, and it's findings were substantially corroborative of MT. Herbert's charges.
 The Arkansas commissions report, concurred in by all three commits sioners, finds that while the commits sion "does not deem the tracks un- safe for the trains as operated" the investigation developed that sched- ules are not being maintained at all times by reason of slow orders" The commission believes it proper to sac rifice speed for safety, "but it is the opinion of the commission that track defects, as noted in the report, should be given very prompt attention so as to eliminate all causes of delay from this source." The commission found much work in progress on the entire length of the line" and urges "that maintenance work should be vigor- ously prosecuted with view of lm- proving conditions.''
