SAD CHRISTMAS
FOR IMMIGRANT
At ELLIS |SLAI,su, !,
Unhappy Hundreds Await De
portation to Former Homes
MANY STILL IN STEERAGE
Must Return Over Winter Seas
without Setting Foot on
Promised Land

New York, Dec 20-This will bC
the saddest Christmas Ellis IsanC
has ever seen.
In previous years the immigrants
condemned by the vicissitudes of for
tune and the sea to spend the holiday
on that dreary Island in the bay were
buoyed up by the thoughts and
dreams Of the new land into which
they were TO enter within day OF
so and OF relatives they were to see
ior the first time in years.
But this Christmas hundreds of the
immigrants on the island, and an even
greater number in the cheerless steer
ages of half dozen ships, have moth.
ing TO think Of but deportation. And
some OF those now on the crowded
island will spend their Christmas on
vessels carrying them through winter
seas back to the homes they disman'
tied
The situat on as reported to w W
Husband, Commissioner-General OF
immigration. at Washington, is that
LIPS immigrants are now detained
on Ellis Island because the quota OF
their countries has been exceeded.
Several hundred m< automatical-
" to be deported are on ships in the
harbor. Between 200 and 1900 nave
been admitted temporarily on bond,
as a matter Of humanity. About l,200
have already been sent home. The
sad plight of the immigrants was re.
vealed by the investigation by Secre-
tary of Labor Davis in Washington.
Robert +. Todd Commissioner OF I'm
migration, said yesterday that it
would be an impossible task to estt-
mate Just how many hundreds OF i'm
migrants would spend Christmas Day
on the island waiting for the time 10
come when they would be sent home,
or living In the slender hope that an
appeal to Washington would open the
doors of the new land.
II know this Mr.. Todd said" The
island will he filled beyond capacity.
and there will be thousand or two
thousand immigrants on shibs IN tue
barber awaiting a chance to get 10
the island. We can accommodate bOe
normally on the island, but am
afraid this number will be greatly eY'
eeaded. There will he no Christmas
holiday for the immigration men, but
ON sunday afternoon we hope 10 have

accurate comparison with anything
else that the American stage has
known. During its run of a solid
year in both New York and Chicago
IL was branded the greatest laugh
