Nearly 25,000 immigrants, some of whom arrived a year ago, will shortly be deported as the i exalt of a Supreme Court decision reversing decisions of the Lower Courts, whereby the wife and children of an alien already admitted could enter the United States without regard to the quota. The Lower Courts unanimously upheld this right, which was first advanced by a Jewish rabbi, who enlisted tfie 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 an entrance, while others are being detained on Kill’s Island, where they are admitted, hut the Supreme Court’s reversal lias caused an upheaval

The latest victims are 100 Italians arriving to-day, who were on the high seas when the decision was given. The police wore compelled to guard-several liners which were crowded with deportees.—A. and N.Z. O.A.
