1865 Aliens Arrive
Here in Last Seven DAYS
Number of Immigrants Falls
OFF 1910 ComparedWith Ar.
rivals of Week Before

The number of immigrants landing
at the Port of New York during the
last seven days was 1910 fewer than
for the preceding week, it was an
nounced at Ellis Island yesterday. The
falling off was explained by the fact
that fewer steamships carrying steer
age passengers arrived during the week
ending yesterday. The total number
of aliens inspected by immigration
officers was 8.765. of which 1868 were
steerage passengers inspected at Ellis
Island, and 1900 were cabin passen-
gers inspected aboard ship and at
piers. The total number of arrivals is
1855, including 1890 steerage passen-
gers aboard the Patria who were not
inspected yesterday.
A varied class Of immigrants were
landed during the week. The steam
ship Baltic brought several Irish girls
and some small craft landed Spaniards
seeking employment on farms The
Stavangerfjord brought 406 Scandi-
navians. men end women, and the
Noordam second shipload Of Polish
refugees, largely women and children.
There were 1871 steerage passengers
on the Noordam and so per cent of
these were detained at Ellis Island,
many of them still there awaiting rela-
tives to arrange bonds to safeguard
the county against their becoming
public charges.

Woodhouse Brings Suit
In Aero Club Quarrel
Seeks Court Injunction to Pre-
vent Attempt to Amalgamate
COuntrv's Air ORGANIZATIONS

The internal dissension of the Aero
Club of America has been taken into
the state courts, in an action brought
by Henry Woodhouse, one of It's gov
ernors, against Charles Jerome Ed
wards, Charles l.. Poor and James A.
Blair, three other members of the
board.
The action, which came up yester-
day on the plaintiffs motion before
Justice Glennon, is for an injunction
restraining the defendants from con-
tinuing negotiations for an amalgama-
ton of all American aeronautic organ
izations.
1t follows the recent attempt by Mr..
Woodhouse to get the Federal author
ltles to investigate airplane manufac-
tuners on grating charges. He had
previously made general charges. but
declined to- go before the grand jury
at the invitation of the District Az
torney.
Under the tentative plan OF ANAL
gamation, there will be a reorganiza-
ton of the Aero Club, and the entire
board of governors, with the exception
of Mr.. Woodhouse, has agreed to re-
sign. SO that a new board can be an
pointed. Under this plan Mr.. Wood
house would not be eligible to hold Of
tlce in the club because of his profess
slonal connection with aeronautics. and
he has brought this suit as a result.
The plaintiffs allegations were de-
MED by the defendants.
