RESENTS CRITICISM OF ELLIS ISLAND British Attack on Methods Brings ~Suggestion From Commissioner Husbhand. Legal opinion was sought yester- éay by Commissioner General of Im- migration Husband as to whether steamship companies could be re- quired under existing law to bear the entire expense of detaining aliens at immigration stations. Mr. Hus- Land’s move was spurred by the at- tack in the British house of com- mons Wednesday on methods at Ellis Island in handling British-born in:- migrants. The action of general added another chapter to the controversy involving protests from some British authorities over the treatment their nationals received from American im An _inspection of made last winter uckland Geddes, the British ssador, and Lis report, which has never been niade public, is said by oflicials here Who have ‘seen it in the British White Bock, to have been favorable rather than otherw Dificulties R Conditiors at Ellis much to be desired, Mr. mitted. and it was u the Geddes report rec ficulties in the way government in i rts to correct them. The outburst in parliament on Wednesday, therefcre, it was de- ed surprise among Amer- ognized. Island Husband ad- derstood that nized the Gif- he American leave d outlined the situation White, acting secre- following mem- once Torward- solicitor the United o the department t is estimated th ates government a total of approximately $5.000,000 in building and equipping Eilis Isla and. except for the fact that the st tion is used in part for adminis tion pury hi number of the entire plant is operat the benefit of panies which bri the Unit- ed States purel commercial venture, the only financial return to this government being the actual of meals and, since February, . an additional charge of twenty- five cents per day Returns Not Equal to Cost. “It is very clear that such returns do not nearly cover. the cost of de- taining the ns in question, and it has been estimated that the loss to the government at s island alone solely for ion com- puting this total we account the cost and upkeep of plants, the cost of guard- ing aliens, and of all service which would be necessary, provided trans- portation companies’ were required to be entirely responsible for aliens pending their admission or return, “In view of the foregonig the bureau feels that it is in effect being criti- cized for the character of a service which is furnished in large part as a gratuity to the transportation com- panies. and it is quite inclined to feel that the excess detention costs re- ferred to are an unwarranted expense to this government. In view of this, 1 would be glad if the whole question could be submitted to the solicitor as to the rights and responsibilities of the government in requiring the transportation companies involved to bear the entire expense of detaining aliens at all immigration ports, the cost to this government being limited to the actual expense of administra- tion and examination of aliens.” St oot the commissioner } President Gives i Job to Widow of Philippine Hero One of the last acts of President Harding before he left on his western irip was to sign an ex- ecutive order placing permanent- 1y in the government service Mrs. Amelia V. Briscoe, widow of Capt. ‘Willlam J. Briscoe, who lost his life in saving two natives in the Philippines. Capt. Briscoe, in fighting a for- est fire near Camp John Hay, saw two Igorot soldiers, blinded and bewildered, surrcunded by the flames. He dashed through and rescued them, but died from his injuries.

He was arrested at 1st and G streets northwest by Policeman R. J. Cex of the first precinct. He told the court that he was employed as a fireman at the George Washington University Hospital, and had taken some “medicine” that had gone to his head and made him sleepy. He told the judge in a halting manner that he was subject to “sleepy spells.” He had been in the court before on a similar charge.
