EXAMINING ALIENS ' ONSHIPS SCORED Curran at Odds With Davis on Lettina British Avoid i Ellis Island. ¥ the Associated Press . NEW YORK, August 12.—The re- feently announced plan of Secretary of Lgbor Davis to admit British immi- &rants to this country without passing them through Ellis Island was criti- clged yesterday by Henry H. Curran, commissioner of immigration at Ellis JIsjand. 'he examination of immigrants on ‘baard ship, as proposed by the Secre- tafy of Labor, instead of at Ellis Is- land, as in the past, he said, would be “‘dangerous,” since such examinations *could not be thorough and final.” Taking issue with pr & move to abolish the Ellis Island station, Commissioner Curran said that the continuance of the station | ‘was “absolutely essential,” and that an immediate appropriation of $300,- 000 should be made to protect it from fire and from interruption of its water supply. He also recommended that appropriation of an additional $800,000 for the creation of greater recreation space for detained immigrants Commissioner Curran pointed to the increased traffic through the station as indication s importance average dail x of immigr now is 700, he said, as compared 160 during the fiscal y More than 700 immigrants detained at the station, he sald, 200 of whom are in the hospital.

STOCKHOLM, August 12 (#).—The Swedish government has opened nego- tiations with the United States Gov- ernment to procure examination of Swedish emigrants before they leave this country for America. This is ex pected to eliminate the necessity of emigrants being sent to Ellis Isiand, or at least to shorten their stay there. The American quota law has cut down the number of Swedish emi- grants to about one-half the previow figure, and there is now a waiting list of 20,000 seeking entry to the United States. BANDITS ROB STEWARD. Board Train and Hold Up Dining Car, Then Escape. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., August 12 UP).—Two negroes boarded the Olympian, crack traln_of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rall way, and robbed one inember of the train crew of $250. None of the pas- sengers on the train, which was east bound, was molested. The bandits are belleved to have boarded the train when it stopped at the Milwaukee depot in downtown Minneapolis. Shortly after it had left the depot they walked into the dining car, where they leveled pistols at John G. Gorth, Chicago, the dining car steward, and four negro waiters. The robbers forced the waiters to stand at one side of the coach while they searched Gorth and took the $250 from him. Then they stepped to the platform, pulled the signal cord, and @s the train slowed down they leaped off into the darkness. ' Hurry!
