AMERICAN IMMIGRATION
EXCESS OVER THE QUOTA. DEPORTATION PROBABLE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copy rig-it NEW YORK, November 14. Two thousand immigrants, chiefly Russians, who were included among the 4000 persons in excess of the quota adVnitted under parole, face deportation unless Mr J. J. Davis (Secretary of Labour) specially orders their admittance. Charges of discrimination arc being raised, since 2000 British immigrants, composing half of the excess quota, were admitted, while orders were received cancelling the Russian immigrants’ paroles. Caustic observers meanwhile allege that Mr Davis’s so-called humanitarian act is really a design to save the shipping boards from paying a cash penalty of 400,000 dollars, which under the law they would be compelled to pay, because one of their vessels brought this excess number.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
