couraging as it appeared today. Any
plan decided on will be subject to
the advice of physicians.
The President asked General Saw
yer during the day if it would be
possible to begin the trip to Wash

The President was understood to
have made inquiry during the day

THOUSANDS ALIENS
AT ELLIS ISLAND
SEEKING U. s. ENTRY

New York, Aug. NEARLY 1000
immigrants were added to the popu-
lation of the United States today at
the port Of New York. Between
$4,000 and $4,000 other aliens waited
on shipboard to pass through Ellis
Island.
They came from % countries in
Europe, Asia and Africa, and con-
versed in eighteen different langua-
ges, but the confusion OF sounds was
scarcely greater than the confusion
of statistics at Ellis Island as the
r. rides of aliens were being exam
incd.
Immigration Commissioner Cur
ran, with what he stated was dis
tresSingly inadequate" force Of in
sLcciors, did his utmost TO pass the
immigrants through the stati m with
tho least possible delay or inconven-
fence. The largest number that could
possibly be handled at the island in
one day, he said, was 1000. At this
rate, many of those who have al
re9dy arrived, will be forced to re-
main aboard their ships for = week.
Four liners reported by wireless
that they would arrive either tonight
or Thursday and at least sthree
others. with approximately. 1900
passengers each. will appear Friday
The commissioner estimated that
between eight and a dozen August
quotas of small countries were ex-
hausted tonight He said he could
not give definite figures until Wash
ington had notified him that the
months allotments were filled.
At Ellis Island and in the harboi
there were many scenes combining
the tragic and the comic. Fifty
Syrian and Armenian picture
brides" arrived on the Madonna
from Mediterranean and Black Sea
ports. Many of the prospective
bridegrooms hired small boats in
which they cruised about the liner
seeking a view of the girls they had
wooed bNephotograph and letter, and
trying to throw aboard small pres
cnts of fruit and candy. The con-
Ccstion about the ship was so great
that a police launch was called and
chased away the excited lovers, each
of whom was oglng some girl, whom
deportation might tear away from
him.
The rush was so desperate at mid
night that several collisions were
narrowly averted. Captain MARITIME
Itch of the Argentina. declared his
ship was missed by the Orizaba in
the rush for quarantine The liners
he said. were so close together that
passengers could have touched hands
