Italians, Homeward
Bound, Be &c
Passport Windows
Clerks Work at Night So
Thousands Who Want to
Sail To-day May Not Lose
Ships; Extra Guard Called

A force Of Internal Revenue clerks
toiled late last night in the Custom
Building putting the finishing touches
on the passports of 4,375 italian immi
grants, so there will be no hitch at
the piers this morning when they once
more will turn their faces toward Italy
1t was the largest delegation since the
aliens began their pilgrimages back to
their old homes. Extra policemen were
required to keep the long lines in or
der, and about noon the crowd of i'm
petuous, gesticulating Italians grew
so large that detail of sailors from
the United States Barge Office was sta
toned about the Custom Building.
-Four Ships Sail To-day
The unusual number was due to the
sailing to-day of three ships for Italy
and one for Trinidad The Re d'Italia
will carry 1,240, the Caserta will have
1880 and the Giuseppe Verdi will take
1S50,'all sailing for Naples and Genoa.
The Mayara will carry thrty-fve of the
Italians to Trinidad. A few of the
travellers have been naturalized. but
their return to Italy will impose upon
them the full military obligation re-
quired by the laws.
G. A. Henneke, of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, who has charge of the
passport regulations affecting the in
come tax law, estimated that about 25
per cent of the Italians would return
to this country. There are number
of aliens, he explained, who come to
America in the spring and return later
in the summer of each year. The re-
mander will make permanent homes in
Italy.
No Women in Crowd
The line of emigrants caused some
excitement on the streets about the
Custom House. There were no women
among them. Formed in a double
column, they stood along the wall of
the building as far down as Bridge
Street, then along Bridge Street over
to Broadway. Many had been standing
since early morning. The ones on the
end of the line ate lunch and supper
from bags brought by friends. All
those sailing to-day were given the
first preference.
