NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (by Associat
ed Press).—Sweeping changes are be
ing made at America’s gateway—Ellis
Island—by Immigration Commissioner
Wallis to make the station more
comfortable for the newcomers to the
United States.
Freedom and sunshine is being
planned for the new arrivals by the
commissioner who has just announc
ed plans for improving conditions in
j general on the island. Larger build
| ings are to be asked, he said, sanitary
conditions improved, additional cots
provided for those unable to get beds
and many other conveniences for the
immigrant are to be installed.
Kind and decent treatment for all
new arrivals has been demanded by
Commissioner Wallis who has already
announced the discharge of some of
the veteran attendants for alleged
harshness or inefficiency in receiv
ing immigrants. Their places have
b^en filled by more courteous, atten
tive and younger men.
“I propose to make this receiving
station representative of all America
promises,” he said.
Commissioner Wallis asserted that
he planned to install baths at the
island in order that every individual
entering the country will be given a
bath and have his clothes sterlized
before he enters the station.
“They made our soldiers do this,”
he said, “so why not make our immi
grants. This will be a big step toward
preventing disease from entering our
gates and will have a great moral and
physiocological effect.”
One of the latest improvements by
Commissioner Wallis has been the
supplying of warm milk to the many
mothers with babies. This was
done as soon as the commissioner
learned that chilled milk made the
infants sick.
When he learned that hundreds of
immigrants were jammed in the deten
tion pens the commissioner ordered
the liberation of the occupants and
gave them the freedom of the large
examination hall.
Commissioner Wallis has appealed
i to Washington to remove the alleged
radicals and anarchists detained at
the island for deportation, because of
crowded conditions at the immigra
tion.
“They are a defiant lot and should
be deported,” he said. “They occupy
a room that could accomodate a couple
of hundred immigrants.”
Railroads have a’so been asked by
the commissioner t> provide better
transportation facilities for the immi
grants and stop employes from
“grafting” from the newcomers. He
also wants them to be properly fed
while being detained for entrainment.
While funds are not immediately
available for improvements at the
island, Commissioner Wallis said, he
• will ask congress to provide the money
and he said that he had already asked
permission to raise funds by public
subscription if the necessary money
could not be provided by the govern
ment.
