the aliens had packed their belong

parted after nightfall, all Of the en-
ployes at the immigration station,
working late to help the aliens get
away. immigration Commissioner
Todd said all of them would be re-
leased by tomorrow evening.
Hungarians. Poles and Greeks out
numbered other races in the laugh
ing happy swarms that signed the
necessary papers and ran with ex-
pectant gayety toward the ferry and
that brought them to New York and
to railway terminals on the Jersey
side. Many of the foreigners imme-
diately boarded trains that would
take them to loved ones in the west.
Others landed at the Battery and
scattered to the various foreign
colonies in the Polyglot metropolitan
area.
The cheerful tidings from Wash
ington came SO unexpectedly that the
delight Of the aliens became almost a
frenzy. Many had been in downcast
spirits at the prospect of a penned-in
Christmas followed by deportation
from the land to which they had
come with high hopes.
Each was released on his or her
own bond. all agreeing to make ar
rangements for passage back home
at the end Of the 90-day stay on
American soil.
Commissioner Tod said he did not
know the motive for Secretary Davis
release order. nor the plans Of the
government regarding ultimate dis
position of the men and women freed
today.
Under the law, most Of them would
not be admissible until the fiscal year
opening next July. None Of them
should have been brought to this
country. Commissioner Tod said
placing the blame for their condition
on the steamship companies.

said. I'm fact, he admitted it. at the
trial. but sought to justify his action.
He was by no means. however. as
rabid and outspoken in his express
sions as many others. and but for his
prominence and the resultant far
reaching effect Of his words very
probably might not have received tho
sentence he did. He is an old man,
not strong physically. He is a man
Of much personal charm and impress
sive personality. which qualifications
make him dangerous man, calcuIat-

Utterances which resulted in Debs'
conviction were contained in a speech
at Canton. Ohio. June 10. 1913. Mr.
Debs offered no evidence in his defense
and made his own address to the jury
at the trial in Cleveland in September.
1918. When Federal Judge Weston
Haver pronounced sentence, Debs'
only statement was that "all will work
out well in Gods own good time"
Friends Of Debs began Immediately
a fight to save him from prison. His
case was carried to the supreme court
OF the United States and conviction
on one count affirmed March 20, 1919
A few weeks later another effort was
made. rehearing asked Of the high
est court. It failed. and on April 10,
1919. he was taken to Moundsville, W.
Va, prison. there to begin his SEN
tence. Two months later, however, he
was transferred to the fedora, prison
at Atlanta.
Debs' friends did not despair de-
spite the final action. Appeal after
appeal was made to President Wilson
tions, saying as he did so that to re-
lease Debs would be to impair seri-
ously the morale of the people. At
torney General Palmer sent to the
President recommendation for the
pardon of Debs, but Mr.. Wilson again
declined.
With the incoming of the Harding
administration, renewed efforts were
made to obtain clemency for the So
cialist party head. Mr.. Harding gave
no definite answer, but there were in
QlcdtlOnS tnaL the administration
was giving serious consideration to
the appeal and then ray Of hope
broke for the followers of Debs for
about April /, Mr.. Harding ordered
a review of the case by the depart
ment Of justice.
Then it was that Debs came from
Atlanta prison to Washington un-
nounced and unattended for confer
ence with Mr.. Daugherty. He slipped
into this city quietly, held three
hour conference with Mr.. Daugherty
and was aboard a train travelling
southwark again before his presence
was announced by Mr.. Daugherty
to group Of dumbfounded newspa-
per correspondents.
Debs was described as a model
prisoner at Atlanta. In fact Warden
Verst and Father Byrne, prison chap
lain. united in declaring him to be
''an influence for good" While serv-
ing his sentence, he was the choice Of
nearly million voters for President.
He was sc years old last month.

recting the landing for a period Of 90
days Of aliens now held at .mmigra-
ton stations because Of an excess Of
the quota already admitted. were is
sued today By, Secretary Davis.
Department records showed. Mr.. Da-
Wis said. approximately 100 aliens
at New York and so at Boston who
had not been admitted heretofore and
who were expected to be deported.
Nearly all Of the aliens who will
benefit by the order are women and
children coming here to join husbands
and fathers: young children coming to
brothers and sisters, and elderly men
and women who were to join their
children here. The secretary said only
a few industrial workers were in the
lot.
1T Is hoped" he said in @ state
ment. that in the future steamship
companies will refrain from bringing
more aliens from countries the quota
Of which Is exhausted. but If they
continue to do so the department is
determined that such aliens shall not
be removed from the ships which
brought them and under no conditions
will aliens brought in excess Of quo
tas in the future be admitted to the
United States. temporarily or other
wise.
This is the Christmas season and
I am going to do what can for these
poor people who have been brought
here and left here in defiance Of the
law. 1t is no fault Of theirs. They
sailed from home in good faith and
they have been landed here to face the
bitterest of hardship at the time of
the year when the rest OF humanity
is given up to good cheer"
There was no intimation as to what
would be done with the aliens at the
end Of 80 days. The action. the secre-
tary said. was taken that SO certain
additional information might be Oh
tanned from the immigrants concern
ing the activities OF steamship COM
panies and various philanthropic So
cieties operating in countries from
which the aliens come.
