consists of an ublOng piece OF metal
some three inches wide by four inches
long. In this IRE two indentatlOnS, so
that when used on the hair it makes two
lines of waves at ono time. And these

These irons can BE- heated at the gas

out of an appropriation made for the
former Transit Construction Commits
sion certain moneys needed for sala-
Ties of los employees of the new com

The Comptroller appeared in person
and argued his case. Former Judge
Francis NJ. Scott argued for the
Transit Commission. Corporation
Counsel O'Brien was present. but
took no part IN the argument.
Mr.. Scott said that despite the
provisions OF the Knight Adler law

providing TOR the transfer of all

sisted in his refusal to honor the
payrolls submitted by Chairman Nc
Aneny of the commission,
The Comptroller said he had no

Mr. Scott declared the Comptroller

Undoubtedly" and argued that there
was no constitutional reason why thu

RUSHING TO j. s.
BEFORE GATES SHUT
At ELLIS ISLAND
Italy May Get Her Years
Quota Under Immigrant
Law Here in 5 Months.

The new immigration laws. limiting
the number OF annual immigrants
from each country to per cent. of
the number of nationals already here
as shown by the 1910 census. went
into effect this morning.
1t became apparent at once that
that there is going to be a great rush
on the part of those who seek to get
into the country before the maximum
is reached and the gates are auto
matically closed.
For instance. Italy. under the terms
of the law and the figures of the
census, is allowed to send an average
of 1924 persons per month for the
first year. and it is provided that
not more than 20 per cent. of the
month. This means that the whole
quota for the year may be admitted
in five months. and there are reasons
to believe that this will be done.
