The congestion of aliens at Ellis
Island, which began three weeks ago,
reached climax yesterday when the
migration Bureau issued an order
that no immigrants would be received
from inbound steamships until Monday.
When the immigration station has a
full equipment of inspectors the capac-
ity of Ellis Island enables the bureau
to handle a maximum of 5000 immi-
grants a day.
Corr missioner Wallis left the city for
Washington yesterday to confer with
the Secretary Of Labor on means of
getting relief from the unusually over
crowded condition of the island.

I'VE weFe obliged to keep 1921 de-

a number far in excess of our sleep

the next thirty-siX hours to dispose Of
these and make room for others that
are now being held aboard thessteam-
ships that brought them to this coun-
try. We sent inspectors to-day aboard
tour steamships that have been in port
tor several days without unloading
their steerage passengers. These in

Vera Cruz. with So, and the Carmania,
from Southampton and Cherbourg,

Three Await Inspection
The other vessels awaiting inspec-

the Patria, from Marseilles, with 1,70O;
the Tourane, from Havre, with 538.
and the Celtic, which arrived yesterday
with 1852.
On board the steamship Thomas. a
former transport which was examined
yesterday, were 300 immigrants, who
were detained as ineligible. 1t was
said at Ellis Island yesterday that a
shortage of money, rather than physi-
cal Or moral fitness, was the chief
cause of the detentions and general
congestion at the island.
Many of the detained persons are
women and children, who are eligible
to admission, but who have neither
railroad tickets to destinations nor the
money to purchase them. They are
being held until the relatives to whom
they are going send them funds or
come from various parts of the coun-
try to escort them to their destinations,

Shipping Act

tional Powers i'm Direct
ing Him to Abrogate
Conn mn ercial Treaties
President Hayes Cited
Asserts Compliance With the
Act Would Be Breach of
Faith With Other Nations

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-President
Wilson announced to-day through the
State Department that he would not
carry out the provisions OF the mer-
chant marine act instructing him tc
give notice to foreign governments
that they must terminate certain sec.
tons Of commercial treaties which con.
taict with the act Of the American Con.
gress.
The President held that Congress is
without the constitutional power to d.
rect the Executive to abrogate parts OF
treaties.
THE action sought to be imposed
upon the Executive" the President de-
clares. would amount to nothing less
than the breach or violation of said
treaties"
In an official statement issued by the
State Department the point is made
that the Presidents refusal to comply
with the direction of Congress does not
nulllty the entire shipping act, but
makes imperative Section 81, which
requires the President to serve notice
on nations that the merchant marine
act IS supreme.
Text of Official Statement
The State Department announcement
said: 49, { II
The Department of State has been
informed by the President that lie does
not deem the direction, contained in
oectlon "a Of the so-called merchant
marine act, an exercise of any const1tu-
tlonal power possessed by the Congress-
Under the provisions of the section
referred to the President was directed
within ninety days after the act be-
came law to notify the several govern
ments with whom the United States
mad entered into commercial treatie
That TINS country elected to terminate
SO much OF said treaties, as restricted
the right of the United States to i'm.
pose discriminating customs duties on
imports and discriminatory tonnare
dues, according as the carrier vessels
were domestic or foreign, quite regard.
less of the fact that these restrictions
are mutual, operating equally upon the
other governments which are parties
TO the treaties. and quite regardless
also of the further fact that the
treaties contain no provisions for their
termination in the manner contem.
plated by Congress.
Would Mean Treaty Breach
"The President, therefore. considers
1t misleading to speak of the 'termlna-
ton OF the restrictive clauses of such
treaties. The action sought to be i'm.
posed upon the Executive would
amount to nothing less than the breach
or violation of said treaties, which are
thlrty-tWO in number and cover evorv
point OF contact and mutual depend
ence which constitute the modern re.
latlons between friendly states. Such
a course would be wholly irreconcilable
with the historical respect which the
United States has shown for it's inter
national engagements and would fall
sify every profession Of our belief in
the binding force and the reciprocal
obligation of treaties in general.

Correspondence On Divorce.
Continued Y

NCOtCCbGRCU
The good home is the uni # the good
government. The hearthstone is the
cornerstone of civilization. Society is
not interested in the preservation of
hateful homes, of homes where nus
bands and wives are selfish. cold, and
cruel. 1t is not to the interest Of society
that good Women should be enslaved,
that they should live IN fear, or that they
should become mothers by husbands
whom they hate. Homes should be fill
ed with kind and generous fathers, with
true and loving mothers; and when they
are so filled, the world will be civilized.
Intelligence will rock the cradle: justice
will sit in the courts; wisdom in the leg
|isIatiye halls; and above all and over all,
like the dome of heaven. will be the
spirit Of liberty.
Although marriage is the most impor
tant and the most sacred contract that
human beings can make, still when that
contract has been violated. courts should
have the power TO declare it null and
void upon such conditions as may be
lust. AS a rule the woman dOWers the
husband with ner youth. her beauty, her
love-wIth all she has; and from this
contract certainly the husband should
never be released, unless the wife has
broken the conditions or that contract.
Divorces SHOULD be granted publicly,
precisely as the marriage should be SO
lemnized Every marriage should be
known, and there should be witnesses, to
the end that the character of the contract.
entered into should be understood; the
record should be open and public, And
the same is true of divorces. The con
ditions should be determined, the pro-
perty should be divided by a court of equi
ty, and the custody of the children Civ
en- under regulations prescribed.
Men and women are not virtuous by
law. Law does not of itself Great
virtue, nor is it the foundation or foun
tain of love. Law should protect virtue,
and law should protect the wife. if she
has kept her contract. and the husband,
if he has fulfilled his. But the death
of love is the end of marriage. Love
is natural. Back of all ceremony burns
and will forever burn the sacred fame.
There has been no time in the worlds
history when that torch was extinguish-
ed, In all ages, in all chimes, among

and forever will be the realm OF choice. =
Wherever love is, it is pure: and every
where, and at all times, the ceremony
Of marriage t~estifies 10 hat which has
happened within the temple Of the hu-
man heart.
OUGHT DIVORCED PEOPLE TO BE
ALLOWED TO MARRY UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES?
This depends upon whether mar
riage is a crime. If it is not a crime,
why should any penalty be attached?
Can any one conceive of any reason
why a woman obtaining a divorce with
out fault on her part, should be com
PEELED as a punishment to remain for
ever single? Why should she be pun,
iShed for the dishonesty or brutality Of
another? Why should a man who faith
fully kept his contract Of marriage,
and who was deserted by an unfaithful
wife, be punished for the benefit Of so
ciety? Why should he be doomed to
live without a home?
Fhore IS still! 2nother view. We must
remember that human passions are the
same after as before divorce. To pre-
vent remarriage is to give excuse for
vice.
WHAT is THE EFFECT OF DIVORCE
UPON THE INTEGRITY OF THE
FAMILY?
The real marriage is back of the cere-
mOny, and the real divorce is back of the
decree. When love is dead, when hus-
band and wife abhor each other, they
are divorced. The decree records in a
judicial way what has really taken place,
just as the ceremony of marriage attests
a contract already made.
The true family is the result Of the
true marriage, and the institution of the
family should above all things be pre-
served. What becomes of the S~acredness
of the home. if the law compels those
who abhor each other to sit at the same
hearth ? This lowers the standard, and
changes the happy haven of home into
the prison-cell. If WeWish to preserve the
integrity of the family, we must pre-
serve the democracy of the fireside, the
republicanism of the home, the absolute
and perfect equality of husband and
wife. There must be no exhibition Of
force, no spectre of fear. The mother
must not remain through an order of
court, or the command of a priest, or by
virtue of the tyranny of society; she
must sit in absolute freedom. the queen
Of herself, the sovereign Of her own soul
and her own body. Real homes can lev
err be preserved through force, through
slavery, or superstition. Nothing car
be more sacred than a home, no altar pur-
er than the hearth
