MARRIAGE DOES NOT STOP ALIEN
 DEPORTATION
Authorities Deny Deplor able Conditions Among
 "Reds" Families.

New York, Feb. 2-Authorities at Ellis Island today denied knowledge of "deplorable'' conditions among families of extremists deported on the Buford or now held on deportation procee edings, as charged by the Aneri- can Woman's Committee, which an- nounces it will make efforts in Wash ington to have these dependents as- sisted.
 ''I know of nobody deported on the Buford who was actually married ac- cording to the laws of the various states of this country" said Percy A. Baker, superintendent at the island.
 There may have been some who claimed that they were married, but I do not believe they could have pro- duced any proof. Anyhow, I know of nothing in the immigration laws that provides that marriage shall relieve any alien from deportation"
 Of the more than 500 persons sent to the island after raids last month only two have claimed at hearings be- fore immigration inspectors that they were married, MT. Baker said. Most of them have refused to answer any questions at all and about half of them have been released on bail.

Total Number Of Influenza Cases In City Has Reached 49O
10 BRING TREATY BACK TO OPEN SENAT
THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

There is every reason why the health department should apply at once and colnpletetly all those methods of prevention which have been found useful in limit ing the influenza epidemic. This would be better done now, when every precaution will have its maximum effect, than later, when the centerS of infection are much more numerous.
 The epidemic of 1918, during the first two weeks after the ap- pearance of the first cases, there was a slower progress than is in- dicated by the reports for the present epidemic. The number of deaths from influenza and pneumonia appear to be greater for a like period than they were in 1918.
 ThGre exists every reason why the rnaxinltsxn methods of pre- vention should be applied firmly, Immediately and completely.

 APPROVES
 HUN LIST
List Goes to VOn Lersner When Covering Letter
 Is Framed.
COMMITTEE NOW
 DRAWING UP NOTE

Paris, Feb. 2-The list of German subjects whose extradition is de- manded by the Allies was finally ap- proved by the council of ambassadors today. The council also approved the terms of the note to accompany the list. A drafting committee was charg- ed with the drawing up of the note.
 The list and the note will probably be handed to Baron von Lersner, the head of the German peace delegation, as soon as the covering letter has been framed.
 The council considered an applica- tion for the admission of the Belgian ambassador to the meetings of the council, on the ground of Belgium s proximity to Germany and her par ticipation in the occupation of the Rhineland and it was decided to in- vite the ambassador of Belgium to at tend the council meetings when Bel gian interests were in question.
