NEW YORK, 2nd June.

Nearly twenty-five thousand immigrants, some of whom arrived years ago, will shortly be deported as a result of a Supreme Court decision reversing the decisions of the Lower Courts, that the wife and children of an alien already admitted could enter the United States without regard to the quota. The lower Courts unanimously upheld th""i3 right, which was first advanced by a Jewish rabbi, who enlisted the greatest legal talent in the United States to save his wife and children from being deported. Many immigrants, basing their hopes on the rabbi's earlier victories, set out for America, hoping to gain entrance, whjle others were being detained on Ellis Island. They were admitted, but the Supreme Court's reversal has caused an upheaval. The latest victims are a hundred Italians arriving to-day who were on the high seas when the decision was given. The police were ■'compelled, to guard several liners which were crowded with deportees.
