HOLIDAY RESPITE GIVEN TOALIENS Immigrants- Awaiting De- portation Allowed to Land for Ninety Days. Secretary Davis yesterday ordered immigration officials to authorize landing for a period of ninety days of allens now held at fmmigration stations in excess of quotas already admitted. Records of the Labor De- partment showed, Mr. Davis said, ap- proximately 1,100 ali at New York and fitty at Boston who had not been admitted heretofore and who were ex-[ Dected to be deported. Nearly all the aliens who will bene- fit by the order are women and chfl-, | dren coming here to join husbands voung children coming to brothers and sisters and elderly men and women who were to join their children here. The Secretary said that only a few Industrial work- ers were in the lot and hence little competi n with American labor was to be expected. Order Follows Visit. The orders were issued following a visit Mr. Davis made to Ellis Island. “It is hoped id the Secretary in a statement. “that in the future steam- ship companies wiil refrain from bringing more aliens from countries the quota of which is exhausted, but if they continue to do so the depart- ment is determined that such alien shall not be removed from the ships which brought them and under no conditions will aliens brought in ex cess of quotas in the future be ad- mitted to the United States, tempo- rarily or otherwise. “This_is the Christmas season and I am going to do what I can for, these poor people who have been brought here znd left here in de- fiance of the law. It is no fault of theirs. They sailed from home in good faith and they have landed here to face the bitterest of hardship at the time of the year when the rest and fathers: of humanity is given up to good cheer.” The Secretary gave no intimation as to what would be done with the aliens at the end 6f ninety davs. The action, he said, was taken so that certain additional information might be obtained from the immigrants concerning the activities of steamship companies and various philanthropic societies operating in countries from which the aliens come. LEAVING ELLIS ISLAND. First 200 Depart Within Two Hours of Release Order. Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 24.—The gates of Ellis Island swung open late yester- day, freeing more than one thousand aliens, detained under the immigration law, so that they might spend with friends and relatives in the land of promise. They will be at liberty for ninety days, but must return at the end of that time for deportation, uniess promised attacks on the constitutionzlity of the restrictive law have borne fruit or the government decides to make more exceptions in their cases. The order arrived shortly after 3 o'clock, and two hours later two hun- dred of the aliens had packed their be- longings and left the island. Others de- parted after nightfall, all the employes at the immigration station working late to help the aliens get away. Immigra- tion Commissioner Tod said all of them ‘would be released by tomorTow 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 gavety toward the ferries that brought them to New York and to railway terminals on the Jersey | shore. Many of the foreigners im-| mediately boarded trains that would | take them to loved ones in the west. Others landed at the Battery and scattered to the various foreign col- onies in the polyglot metropolitan area. ‘The cheerful tidings from Wash- ington came so unexpectedly that the delight of the aliens became al- most 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 ninety-day stay on American soil. WILL INTRODUCE BILL. By the Associated Press.

The surgeon general's message was sent from the naval radio statlon at Anacostia, and, it was said, was picked up by virtually all operators ecast of the Misstssippi river. The Chesrpeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company made it possible for the surgeon general to speak from his office by constructing a private line to the radio statioh, where the health talk was transmitted.

SCIENCE TO TURN LIGHT ON PERU’S STRONG MEN weddings and LONDON, December 11.—Many of the natives of Peru, it is stated, are much less affected by the rarefled air at high altitudes than are ordinary men of other races who are accus- tomed to hard labor. It is declared that at an altitude of 16,000 feet they can carry loads of 150 pounds up a steep incline where the ordi- nary person would find it all he could do to drag his own boots up. The Roval Society is going to try to find out the secret that enables them to perform such feats of phys cal strength under conditions that would render the task an impossible one for the average man. Three scientists have just gone to Peru to investigate the phenomenon. They are Prof. Meakins, J. I. Barcroft and J. H. Doggart, the last two of Cam- bridge University. Five other scientists from Canada and New York will join them in Peru. Mr. Barcroft told an interviewer that the purpose of the expedition is to test the strain to which the heart and lungs are subjected by carrying heavy loads at such great height and to endeavor to discover how the na- tives can stand it. | The country home at Troltzn of Michnel Kalen Kalenin, before the revolution, was a farmer and republic of noviet Russia. country school teacher. OF THAT LAND. PROVERBS IN CHRISTMAS GREETING ISSUED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Several wholesome proverbs, “stated for the consideration of all who may read, regardless of their station in life,” were contained in a Christmas greeting to the public from Attorney General Daugherty last night. Seven of them follow: “If a man does the right thing he will have the help and approval of those who know him, and If he does not do the right thing he doesn‘t deserve it. “The world never turns against a man until after he has turned against the world, and it is never too late to wake up.” “A man owes soclety, his coun- try and the world more than it owes him and more than he can ever pay “If one has sclf-respect he will not go far wrong.” “If one respects others he will AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS PLANNIN do them no Injury, either in person or property.” “In this country one man has the same freedom and the same rights as another.” very man owes the s gree of loyalty to the same obligation to soctety. “To all mankind,” Mr. Daugherty concluded, “I wish a happy, healthful and_hopeful Christmas time. Let us hold up our heads and be of good cheer. Let us love God and be grate- ful. Let us obey the laws country and let us obey the Ten Com- mandments.” Mr. Daugherty in his statement said enough advice, most of It bad, had been offered since he assumed office to last him until the end of his term, “whether it be long or short” The majority of the counsel proffered, he added, “was of such a character that the person offering it would not him- self do as he advises me to do if he were in my position.” STANDARD NAMES FOR BODY TYPES By the Associated Press.

Original Musical Comedy Has Many AT TECH GRADS’ REUNION Bright Features—Christmas Gathering Is Success. “Coo Coo” &n original musical comedy, was presented by former Tech High School dramatic stars at the annual Christmas reunlon of the Alumnl Association of the Institution last night in the school suditorium. It was replete with tuneful music and had a chorus of pretty girls, who could sing and dance. “Coo Coo,” like most muslcal comedles, had a semblance of a plot, but it served only to give the chorus a brief respite from the footlights. The success of the show, however, was | not due entirely to the comely girls of the chorus, but to two of the best comedians ever produced by the Tech | Dramatic Assoclation—Luke and Bteve Fegan. The Fegan brothers were the highlights of the score, and provoked almost continuous laughter with their | repertoire of humorous songs and ludicrous remarks. The vague plot of the show was woven around the experiences of a theatrlcal company, which became stranded on g troplcal isle while en route from New York to Parls in a transatlantic passenger airship. The production was in three acts and an equal number of scenes. Several speclalties were Introduced throughout the production, among | which were orlental dances under the | direction of Miss Alva Robinson, and a concert by the Anchor Club String- ed Orchestra. The scenery for the show, painted by C. A. Smith, a grad- uate of Tech, was & work of art. Miles F. Connors was technlical director and Joseph L. White stage director. Important_roles in “Coo Coo” were taken by Mary Langley, Madelelne Beaulac, Frances H. Hart, Harry Mar- lowe, Royal Foster, Earl Kirchner, John” A. Patterson and Emil Press. Others in the cast were: Edith Bonts, Marie Ethridge, Marian Lynch, Anna O'Connoll, Mary O'Connor, Ethel Wil- Hams, Alva Robinson, Thelma A Schmitt, Btelka M. Kearney, Mar garet Preinkard, Helen Noyes, Helen: Holmes, Alberta M. Ayres, Anita Hawkins, Ellen McCinchie, A. K. Mar- tin, John A. Patterson, Willlam Presu] | and Thomas Imiay. More than 1,000 alumni of Tech at- tended the reunion. Classes from 1906 to 1921 were represented. Norman H. Barnes, president of the alumni association, presided at a brief busi- ness meeting, which preceded the show . GAS CAUSES DEATH.
