PERMIT IMMIGRANTS TO ENTER AMERICA; BRINGS XMAS JOY

(By Associated Press) 1 NEW YORK. Dec. 24. Ellis Island's population of detained immigrants had been decreased by 1,100 today. Governmental clemency had been extended, granting Christmas deliverance to all those in excess of the three percent quota allowed by law to enter the country this year. The timely Yuletlda order of Commissioner of Immigration Davis permitting the anxious and unhappy throng; to join their relatives and friends, was received with great joy. When the news was circulated In a medley of tongues, families embraced and children clapped their hands and danced. Old men and women wept silently over the prospect of being with sons and daughters on tha Universal day of gladness. The immigration staff was taxed to the utmost in getting in order the papers and releases of tha fortunate ones. Clerks and inspectors continued their labors throughout the night, and this morning all who were privileged to start on their journeys to various parts of the country were making preparations to be on their way. Many

Services will be conducted in ail the

churches tomorrow at which reference

will be made to the Nativity. Cold Wave Coming

Christmas will see Richmond in the grip of a cold wave, according to Wfhennan Moore in a report given & Airday morning. He says the cold wave is due to arrive here Saturday afternoon or Saturday night, and every indication is that temperatures will be near the zero mark in Richmond and this vicinity. "There is a chance of some snow falling, due to the rapid southward movement of a cold wave. There

probably will be considerable cloudi-

state and New Jersey got away last I ness the first of the week, with modernight. ation and with snow or rain."

Hundreds of expectant relatives waited all night in Battery Park, overlooking the harbor for tha first morning boats from the island bringing those who were delayed in the rush to enter the New World.

A special conveyance will leave the

corner of South Seventh and E streets near St. John's Lutheran church at

6:55 o'clock Saturday evening to carry persons who wish to attend the program at the Wernle Orphans Home. Should the traveling prove too slippery however, this plan will be abandoned. A lovely Christmas party was given at the Home for the Friendless for the inmates on Friday evening. A gaily decorated Christmas tree illuminated with colored lights and other Yuletide decorations were used through the rooms. Gifts were distributed to the inmates. A program was given dur

ing the evening. The Rev. W. McClean

W ork gave a short address and Christmas music was played by the Redding'

ton trio. Miss Glenna Raney and Miss Florence Falck gave Christmas

readings. All county and city institutions have made preparations for the prop

er observance of the day. Some will have special services and others will have only a special dinner. ' At the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane and at the W'ernle home, special programs are in order. The Social Service bureau has acted as a general clearing house for the relief of the poor in the city this year, and many organizations have cared for needy families that would otherwise be without Christmas cheer. Names of these families, which had been collected by the bureau, were turned over to the organizations and they did their part to supply the people with what waa needed in the way of food, clothing and toys. In a number of instances, rents were

paid for a month in advance by organ- j izations which wanted to help. Lodges, clubs, fraternities and sororities took part in this work. Names of needy families supplied by the bureau in the last few days have been constantly balanced by names of individuals and organizations who notified the bureau of their desire tt help. Although efforts were made to have as little of the actual giving as possible done through the bureau, it being

the aim of the secretary that that organization serve merely as a clearing house to assure each family of special attention, nevertheless, a number of substantial contributions which had been left there, were made up into packages which will be distributed

Saturday. Vegetables, toys and candy were included in these packages. Central Clearing House Christmas giving this year has gone farther than ever before in the belief of many people experienced in the work, because of the fact that the Social Service bureau served as a central clearing house and no families were cared for by two sources with a consequent lack of gifts for less fortunate families. "The splendid co-operation of the lodges, civic organizations and - clubs

of the city this year has been a very effective factor in insuring that all the poor families of tha city have a merry Christmas this year, according to Miss S. Ethel Clark, secretary of the bureau. ' Draw Presents. County officials, and clerks in tha court house offices drew a number of presents from a "fish pond" in the commissioners office at 11 o'clock Saturday. All county offices will be closed

Monday. Court sessions will be resumed Tuesday morning. Only the regular morning collection of mail will be made Monday according to Postmaster C. B. Beck. This collection starts at 7 o'clock. There will be no Sunday collection of mail. No deliveries will be made either Sunday or Monday with the exception of special deliveries and perishable articles. Efficient Mail Handling. Although there has been an increase

of about 40 percent in the Christmas; rush of mail, this year. Postmaster j Beck said Saturday that it had beenj cared for better than ever before, due i chiefly to special preparation and bet-t ter organization. Only two extra menj were required for the Christmas sea-j son. Special delivery men handled1

from 140 to 150 packages per day, he said. Stores and banks will be closed

Monday. If little Johnny's appetite is still good Monday morning, it bohooves the careful housewife to have an ample supply of food on hand to last through the day. Family dinners will be the order of

the day, not only Sunday, but Monday as well. The suspension of business on Monday will doubtless mean thf.t a number of family reunion will be prolonged, which otherwise would have been broken up Sunday evening.

Excited Boys and Girls Take Advantage of Sale of Dolls, Drums For 1 Cent Excited groups of small girls and boys gathered before the Hoosier store Saturday morning to take advantage of a one cent doll and drum tale. There were more than 700, many being on hand as early as 7 o'clock, although the doors did not open until 8 o'clock. The sale lasted only an hour, the merchandise not lasting even that long, so that for the late comers, tha management was forced to substitute wagons, horns, and other articles of les3 than 25 cent val

ue. The stocks of dolls, wagons, horns j and drums available were completely j exhausted. I

"Please, sir," asked a small miss of six after completing her purchase, "can I have seven more dolls?" and she displayed seven pennies tightly clasped in her little fist. To the salesman's astonished question, "What in the world do yu want with so many?" She replied, "I have seven sisters." She got the dolls.

Townsend Community Gives Christmas Tree Program The community Christmas tree party given by the James M. Townsend branch of community service last night was a success. The Masonic hall was filled with children and adult who appeared to enjoy the program. At the conclusion Santa Claus arrived laden with two large sacks of toys. A toy and a stocking containing candy, nuts, peanuts, mixed nuts, an apple and orange were given to each child

who had been invited to the party, i

After the children had been supplied with a toy and a stocking, Santa passed around a basketful of popcorn balls, furnished by Mrs. Lewis Iliff. The committee wishes to thank the following persons for their spirit of service as shown by their donations: Mr R. K. Shiveley, Mrs. Fred Carr, Mrs. Harry Lontz, Qulnn Lodge F. and A.
