A decision of widespread interest to

Of securing a restraining order pro

OFFICIALS WORRY OVER
INFLUX OF STOWAWAYS
Arrive in New York in Growing
Numbers on Every Steam
ship.

immigration officials at New York
are watching with increasing interest
the growing number of stowaways ar
irving there on almost every steamship
that carries passengers. These are adj
venturegs Of all sorts. often men who
are undesirable because they fail to
come w to the tests set by law for
admission into the country. In nearly
every case these unlisted arrivals are
deported and usually on the ground
that they might become charges upon
the public,
On trial before q board of special
inquiry these aliens admitted that
while they had not crossed the At
lantic as siowaways in the old-fash-
Toned sense Of the word, their ship
m"nt had not been matter regularly
arranged for. This being SO, they
were cltSsed on the records as stow
aways and ordered deported. Because
of their admissions the investigation
was begun.
"There Is a great rush of stowa-
ways to the United States just now"
commented Superintendent +. A. Buk-
er Of Ellis island. "There are sew
ernl reasons why this condition should
hold, especially as we look at the pres
ent state of Europe after the great
war. Many persons fleeing from the
unsettled conditions and the turmoil
in Russia, Germany and Poland are
fleeing to the seaports of Holland, Bel
GUM or France. Many of these have
the idea of joining relatives in this
country, and to all of them America
now looms large as place of refuge.
So when they get to the sea they seek
to leave trouble as far behind them
as possible by sailing.
"SOme of those who are seeking to
come in without their names being
manifested have been in America be-
fore. They are part of the great army
that went out from our ports when
the world war got under way. They
have had their share of adventure and
now with peace there again they find
themselves without money and with
the desire to return again to the Unit
ed States. AS an instance of the way

the other day that seven were found
