AMERICAN IMMIGRANT'S
QUOTA LIMITS EXCEEDED. CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Reuter’s Telegrams.) NEW YORK, Noember 14. Some 2000 immigrants, chiefly Russians, who were included among the 4000 in excess of the quota allowed that country, were admitted under parole. They face deporta tion unless Mr Davis specially orders their admittance. Charges of discrimination are being raised since 2000 Britons, composing half the excess quota, were admitted while orders were received cancelling Russian migrants’ paroles. Caustic observers meanwhile allege that Mr Davis’s so-called humanitarian act is really a design to save the Shipping Board 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 quota.
