sand immigrants reaching this port
within the last week, who have not
yet been examined.
Crowding of the Ellis Island immi-
grant station by detained Bolshevik

delay AS result more than three
hundred relatives and friends, many
of them from distant parts of Penn
sylvania and New England, were told
at the Barge Office yesterday that their
friends were still on board ship await
ing their turn at examination.
When no news could be given as to
when the examinations might take
place many of the visitors, summoned
by telegraph, left greatly disturbed

might be deported if they were not on
hand to testify if necessary when the
cases were called.

three boards of special inquiry are a,

at the Richmond County Court House,
st. George. this afternoon on the re-
quest of the Richmond Light and Rail
road Company for permission to in

1t is the intention Of the league mem
bers to see to it that the corporation
proves to Public Service Commissioner
Nixon that it is losing money in its
genera business before they vote for
a resolution favoring an increase in
fares.
Mr.. Dreyfus said last night that, so
far as he knew. the company had shown
loss only in the operation of the
Midland line. His contention and that
OF other league members it that this
loss is compensated for by the charge
for power, which the Midland line paws
