TWO IMMIGRANTS
Be SENT BACK
IMMIGRANT COMMISSIONER CUR
RAN SAYS SOME QUOTAS
FILLED.
TWO THOUSAND B RITIS h
MAY Be Returend to Home Country
Unless Allowed to Enter Under
Special Ruling.

New York More than 5000 would
be immigrants, including 1900 who
came on the Leviathan, which arriv-
ed from England. face deportation. it
was announced by Commissioner OF
immigration Curran, who said yearly
quotas of several of the countries
had been exhausted.
Quotas of IL countries, including
Great Britain. have been exhausted,
Commissioner Curran said he had
been informed by telephone by Com
missioner General OF immigration
Husband. of Washington. Mr., Curran
said he expected about 1000 British
subjects would be sent back unless
some of them, along with subjects of
other countries, were allowed to en-
ter under special rulings.
Russia also has exceeded her quota
by 500, Mr.. Curran said, while the
other immigrants likely to be deport-
ed come from Greece, Egypt. Africa.
Albania. Turkey. Palestine, Portugal
other Europe" and other Asia un-
der which several smaller nations are
listed.
More than 10000 immigrants are
on ships in the harbor awaiting ex-
animation at Ellis Island. the com
missioner said. He characterized the
influx as one of the worse jams
that the department ever faced. In
addition to the 1857 on the Leviathan
there were 523 on the Majestic. 5iS
on the Belgenland, 15S on the Cleve-
land. and about 400 aliens on other
vessels who were in excess Of quota
Most OF the British were said to be
on the Leviathan
Commissioner Curran declined to
say whether the aliens would be de
ported at once, declaring the dispo
sition of their cases would be settled
by Washington immigration authori
ties He attributed the exhaustion
of tha British quota partly to the
unusual rush of British immigrants
across the Canadian border and also
to the great influx in aliens from
Great Britain to American ports in
the past few days in order to enter
before their allotment was filled.

Raleigh.
Secretary of State W. n. Everett is
sending back to each of 10000 motor
lists 81 of the $3.50 remitted for an
automobile certificate OF ownership, as

ever, is equally specific that 81 shall
be charged for every paper on which
the secretary of states seal is placed.
And the certification OF the law direct

Judge Manning's ruling, however,
represents the itnention of the legis-

NEW YORK, June 1.-For the first

little likelihood this year OF another

cally abandoned all thought of max
ing another trip.
Three years ago Ted Ray carried
