none ut all. When there are no
skid chains the ear does not

commissioner of immigration, from

admitted to immigration inspectors
that prior to his entry to this coun-

the Countess of Cathcart, who is now
held at Ellis Island on a similar
charge.
Mr.. Curran said that he did not

arrested and taken to Ellis Island
for a hearing before an inspector.
When the earl came to this coun-
