the provisions of section three of this act because unable to read, or
who is excluded by the terms of section three of this act as a native

faction of the Secretary of Labor that these disabilities might have
been detected by the exercise of reasonable precaution prior to the
departure of such aliens from a foreign port, such person shall pay
to the collector of customs of the customs district in which the port
of arrival is located the sum of $200, and in addition a sum equal to

agents, owners, or consignees of the vessel upon which said aliens are
brought to any port of the United States from any of the obligations
which, in case such aliens remain on board, would under the pro-
visions of this act bind the said vessels, transportation lines, masters,
agents, owners, or consignees: Provided^ That where removal is
made to premises owned or controlled by the United States, said
vessels, transportation lines, masters, agents, owners, or consignees,
and each of them, shall, so long as detention there lasts, be relieved
of responsibility for the safekeeping of such aliens. Whenever a
temporary removal of aliens is ma(£ the vessels or transportation

consignees of the vessel upon which they arrive shall pay all ex-
penses of such removal and all expenses arising during subsequent
detention, pending decision on the aliens' eligibility to enter the
United States and until they are either allowed to land or returned

expenses to include those of maintenance, medical treatment in hos-
pital or elsewhere, burial in the event of death, and transfer to the

the approval of the Secretary of Labor. All aliens arriving at ports
of the United States shall be examined by not less than two such medi-
cal officers at the discretion of the Secretary of Labor, and under such
administrative regulations as he may prescribe and under medical
regulations prepared by the Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service. Medical officers of the United States Public
Health Service who have had especial training in the diagnosis of

written record of such evidence; and any person to whom such an
oath has been administered, under the provisions of this act, who
shall knowingly or willfully give false evidence or swear to any false
statement in any way affecting or in relation to the right of anj^ alien
to admission, or readmission to, or to pass through, or to reside in
the United States shall be deemed guilty of perjuiy and be punished
as provided by section one hundred and twenty-nve of the act ap-
proved March fourth, nineteen hundred and nine, entitled "An act
to codify, revise, and amend the penal laws of the United States."
All aliens coming to the United States shall be required to state
under oath the purposes for which they come, the length of time they
intend to remain in the United States, whether or not they intend
to abide in the United States permanently and become citizens
thereof, and such other items of information regarding themselves
us will aid the immigration officials in determining whether they
belong to any of the excluded classes enumerated m section three
hereof. Any commissioner of immigration or inspector in charge
shall also have power to require by subpc&na the attendance and tes-
timony of witnesses before said inspectors and the production of
books, papers, and documents touching the right of any alien to enter,
reenter, reside in, or pass through the United States, and to that end
may invoke the aid of any court of the United States ; and any dis-
trict court within the jurisdiction of which investigations are being
conducted by an immigrant inspector may, in the event of neglect
or refusal to respond to a subpcena issued by any commissioner of
immigration or inspector in charge or refusal to testify before said
immigrant inspector, issue an order requiring such person to appear
before said immigrant inspector, produce books, papers, and dxxju-
ments if demanded, and testify ; and any failure to obey such order
of the court may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof.^
That any person, including employees, officials, or agents of trans^
portation companies, who shall assault, resist, prevent, impede, or
interfere with any immigration official or employee in the perform-
ance of his duty under this act shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by imprison-
ment for a term of not more than one year, cfr by a fine of nc5b more
than $2,000, or both; and any person who shall use any deadly or
dangerous weapon in resisting any immigration official or employee
in the performance of his duty shall be deemed guilty of a felony
and shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by imprisonment for
not more than ten years. Every alien ..no may not appear to the
examining immigrant inspector at the port of arrival to be clearly
and beyond a doubt entitled to land shall be detained for examina-
tion in relation thereto by a board of special inquiry. In the event
of rejection by the board of special inquiry, in all cases where an
appeal to the Secretary of Labor is permitted by this act, the alien
shall be so informed and shall have the right to be represented by
counsel or other adviser on such appeal. The decision of an immi-
grant inspector, if favorable to the admission of any alien, shall be
subject to challenge by any other immigrant inspe<;tor, and such chal-

lenge shall operate to take the alien whose right to land is so chal-
lenged before a board of special inquiry for its investigation.

Sec. 17.^ That boards of special inquiry shall be appointed by the
commissioner of immigration or inspector in charge at the various
ports of arrival as may be necessary for the prompt determination
of all cases of immigrants detained at such ports under the provisions
of the law. Each board shall consist of three members, who shall
be selected from such of the immigrant officials in the service as the
Commissioner General of Immigration, with the approval of the
Secretary of Labor, shall from time to time designate as qualified to
serve on such boards. When in the opinion of the Secretary of Labor
the maintenance of a permanent board of special inquiry for service
at any sea or land border port is not warranted, regularly constituted
boards may be detailed from other stations for temporary service at
such port, or, if that be impracticable, the Secretary of Labor shall
authorize the creation of boards of special inquiry oy the immigra-
tion officials in charge at such ports, and shall determine what Gov-
ernment officials or other persons shall be eligible for service on such
boards. Such boards shall have authority to determine whether an
alien who has been duly held shall be allowed to land or shall be
deported. All hearings before such boards shall be separate and
apart from the public, but the immigrant may have one friend or
relative present under such regulations as may be prescribed by the
Secretary of Labor. Such boards shall keep a complete permanent
record of their proceedings and of all such testimony as may be
produced before them; and the decisions of any two members or the
board shall prevail, but either the alien or any dissenting member of
the said board may appeal through the commissioner of immigration
at the port of arrival and the Commissioner General of Immigration
to the Secretary of Labor, and the taking of such appeal shall operate
to stay any action in regard to the final disposal of any alien whose
case is so appealed until the receipt by the commissioner of immigra-
tion at the port of arrival of such decision which shall be rendered
solely upon the evidence adduced before the board of special inquiry.*
In every case where an alien is excluded from admission into the
United States, under any law or treaty now existing or hereafter
made, the decision of a board of special mquiry adverse to the admis-
sion of such alien shall be final, unless reversed on appeal to the
Secretary of Labor: Provided^ That the decision of a board of spe-
cial inquiry shall be based unon the certificate of the examining medi-
cal officer and, except as pr-: -:»ed in section twenty-one hereof, shall
be final as to the rejection of aliens affected with tuberculosis in any
form or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease, or witn
any mental or physical disability which would bring such aliens
within any of the classes excluded frcMn admission U> the United
States under section three of this act.

Sec. 18. That all aliens brought to this country in violation of law
shall be immediately sent back, in accommodations of the same class
in which they arrived, to the country whence they respectively came,
on the vessels bringing them, unless in the opinion of the Secretary
of Labor immediate deportation is not practicable or proper. The

return of such aliens, shall be borne by the owner or owners of the
vessels on which they respectively came. That it shall be unlawful
for any master, purser, person in charge, agent, owner, or consignee
of any such vessel to reruse to receive back on board thereof, or on
board of any other vessel owned or operated by the same interests,
such aliens ; or to fail to detain them thereon ; or to refuse or fail to
return them in the manner aforesaid to the foreign port from which
they came; or to fail to pay the cost of their maintenance while on
land ; or to make any charge for the return of any such alien, or to
take any securitv for the payment of such charge; or to take any
consideration to be returned in case the alien is landed ; or knowingly
to bring to the United States at any time within one year from the
date of deportation any alien rejected or arrested and deported under
any provision of this act, unless prior to reembarkation the Secre-
tary of Labor has consented that such alien shall reapply for admis-
sion, as required by section three hereof; and if it shall appear to the
satisfaction of the Secretary of Labor that such master, purser, per-
son in charge, agent, owner, or consignee has violated any of the fore-
going provisions, or any of the provisions of section fifteen hereof,
such master, purser, person in charge, agent, owner, or consignee
shall pay to the collector of customs of the district in which the port
of arrival is located, or in which any vessel of the line may be found,
the sum of $300 for each and every violation of any provision of said
sections; and no vessel shall have clearance from any port of the
United States while any such fine is unpaid, nor shall such fine be re-
mitted or refunded : ^ Provided^ That clearance may be granted prior
to the determination of such question upon the deposit with the col-
lector of customs of a sum sufficient to cover such fine. If the vessel
by which any alien ordered deported came has left the United States
and it is impracticable for any reason to deport the alien within a
reasonable time by another vessel owned by the same interests, the
cost of deportation may be paid by the Government and recovered by
civil suit from any agent, owner, or consignee of the vessel : Provided
fv/rthery That the Commissioner General of Immigration, with the
approval of the Secretary of Labor, may suspend, upon conditions to
be prescribed by the Commissioner General of Immigration, the de-
portation of any aliens found to have come in violation of any pro-
vision of this act if, in his judgment, the testimony of such alien is
necessary on behalf of the TJnited States Government in the prosecu-
tion of offenders against any provision of this act or other laws of
the United States; ^ and the cost of maintenance of any person so de-
tained resulting from such suspension of deportation, and a witness
fee in the sum of $1 per day for each day such person is so detained,
may be paid from the appropriation for the enforcement of this act,
or such alien may be released under bond, in the penalty of not less
than $500, with security approved by the Secretary of Labor, condi-
tioned that such alien shall be produced when required as a witness
and for deportation. No alien certified, as provided in section six-
teen of this act, to be suffering from tuberculosis in any form, or
from a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease other than one of
quarantinable nature, shall be permitted to land for medical treat-

tary of Labor is satisfied that to refuse treatment would be inhumane
or cause unusual hardship or suffering, in which case the alien shall
be treated in the hospital under the supervision of the immigration
officials at the expense of the vessel transporting him : ^ Provided fur-
ther^ That upon the certificate of an examining medical officer to the
effect that the health or safety of an insane alien would be unduly
imperiled by immediate deportation, such alien may, at the expense
of the appropriation for the enforcement of this act, be held for
treatment until such time as such alien may, in the opinion of such
medical officer, be safely deported : Provided further^ That upon the
certificate of an examining medical officer to the effect that a re-
jected alien is helpless from sickness, mental or physical disability,
or infancy, if such alien is accompanied by another alien whose pro-
tection or guardianship is required by such rejected alien, such ac-
companying alien may also be excluded, and the master, agent, owner,

alien are brought shall be required to return said alien and accom-
panying alien m the same manner as vessels are required to return
other rejected aliens. ^

be found in the United States in violation of this act, or in violation
of any other law of the United States ; * any alien who at any time
after entry shall be found advocating or teaching the unlawful
destruction of property, or advocating or teaching anarchy, or the
overthrow by force or violence of the Government of the United
States or of all forms of law or the assassination of public officials ;
any alien who within five years after entry becomes a public charge
from causes not affirmatively shown to have arisen subsequent to
landing; except as hereinafter provided, any alien who is hereafter
sentenced to imprisonment for a term of one year or more because
of conviction in this country of a crime involving moral turpitude,
committed within five years after the entry of the alien to the United
States, or who is hereafter sentenced more than once to such a term
of imprisonment because of conviction in this country of any crime
involving moral turpitude, committed at any time after entry ; any

ties prescribed in section eighteen of this act : ^ Provided^ That when
in the opinion of the Secretary of Labor the mental or physical con-
dition of such alien is such as to require personal care and attend-
ance, the said Secretary shall when necessary employ a suitable per-
son for that purpose, who shall accompany such alien to his or her
final destination, and the expense incident to such service shall be
defrayed in the same manner as the expense of deporting the accom-
panied alien is defrayed.^ Pending the final disposal of the case of
any alien so taken into custody, he may be released under a bond in
the penalty of not less than $500 with security aproved by the Sec-
retary of Labor, conditioned that such alien shall be produced when
required for a hearing or hearings in regard to the charge upon

be found to be unlawfully within the United States.

Sec. 21.^ That any alien liable to be excluded because likely to
become a public charge or because of physical disability other than
tuberculosis in any form or a loathsome or dangerous contagious
disease may, if otherwise admissible, nevertheless be admitted in the
discretion of the Secretary of Labor upon the giving of a suitable
and proper bond or undertaking, approved by said Secretary, in
such amount and containing such conditions as he may prescribe, to
the United States and to all States, Territories, counties, towns,
municipalities, and districts thereof, holding the United States and

amount shall be deposited by said Secretary in the United States
Postal Savings Bank, a receipt therefor to tie given the person fur-
nishing said sum showing the fact and object of its receipt and such
other information as said Secretary may deem advisable. All accru-
ing interest on said deposit during the time same shall be held in the
United States Postal Savings Bank shall be paid to the person fur-
nishing the sum for deposit. In the event of such alien becoming a
public charge, the Secretary of Labor shall dispose of said deposit
m the same manner as if same had been collected under a bond as
provided in this section. In the event of the permanent departure
from the United States, the naturalization, or the death of such
alien, the said sum shall be returned to the person by whom fur-
nished, or to his legal representatives. The admission of such alien
shall be a consideration for the giving of such bond, undertaking,
or cash deposit. Suit may be brought thereon in the name and by
the proper law oflScers either of the United States Government or of
any State, Territory, District, county, town, or municipality in which
such alien becomes a public charge.

Sec. 22.^ That whenever an alien shall have been naturalized or
shall have taken up his permanent residence in this country, and
thereafter shall send for his wife or minor children to join him, and
said wife or any of said minor children shall be found to be affected
with any contagious disorder, such wife or minor children shall be
held, under such regulations as the Secretary of Labor shall pre-
scribe, until it shall be determined whether the disorder will be easily
-curable or whether they can be permitted to land without danger to
other persons; and they shall not be either admitted or deported
until such facts have been ascertained ; and if it shall be determined
that the disorder is easily curable and the husband or father or other
responsible person is willing to bear the expense of the treatment,
they may be accorded treatment in hospital until cured and then be
tidmitted, or if it shall be determined that they can be permitted to
land without danger to other persons, they may, if otherwise admis-
sible, thereupon be admitted : Provided^ That if the person sending
for wife or minor children is naturalized, a wife to whom married
or a minor child born subsequent to such husband or father's
naturalization shall be admitted without detention for treatment in
hospital, and with respect to a wife to whom married or a minor
<jhild born prior to such husband or father's naturalization the
provisions of this section shall be observed, even though such person
IS unable to pay the expense of treatment, in which case the expense
shall be paid from the appropriation for the enforcement of this act.

Sec. 23. That the Commissioner General of Immigration shall per-
form all his duties under the direction of the Secretary of Labor.

IMMIGRATION RULES OF MAY 1, 1917.

SCOPE OF THE LAW.

The act entitled "An act to regulate the immigration of aliens to,
and the residence of aliens in, the United States," passed February
6, 1917, is the immigration act or law referred to in the following
rules.^

It applies to and is to be enforced in every part of the United
States and every place possessed by the United States except the
Isthmian Canal Zone. It is enforced by the Bureau of Immigration
and the Immigration Service in every such place except the Philip-
pine Islands, where it is enforced by the "officers of the general
government thereof." But under the provisions of the act persons
who are not citizens of the United States, or citizens of the insular
possessions, coming from the insular possessions to the mainland or
proceeding from one insular possession to another, must undergo
examination under each and every provision of the act. Hawaii is
a Territory, not an insular possession.

For the purposes of the act citizens of islands under the jurisdic-
tion of the United States are regarded as though citizens of the
United States ; all other persons who are not native born or natural-
ized citizens of this country, except untaxed United States Indians,
are aliens under the terms or the act. (Sec. 1.)

Rale 1. COLLECTION OF HEAD TAX.*

Subdivision 1. Notice to collector, — ^Upon the arrival of aliens at
a seaport of the United States or at any designated port of entry on
the Mexican border,* the immigration officer there in charge shall
certify to the collector of customs the number of such aliens other
than those described in subdivision 3 hereof, together with the name
of the transportation agent or other person responsible for the pay-
ment of head tax due in respect of them, and shall specify :

{a) How many of said aliens have been held for special inquiry;

(6) How many, other than such as are covered by paragraph {g)
of subdivision 3 hereof, claim to enter for the purpose of passing in
transit through the United States;*

{c) How many make unsupported claims to American citizen-
ship;

1 All numbered sections mentioned in the rules refer to those of said act unless stated
to the contrary.

•With respect to collection of head tax on account of aliens coming from or through
Canada, see also Rule 12.

•See Rule 13.

« Tourists are included in this class. An alien may enter and leave the United States
by the same port and still be an " in transit " passenger.

38 IMMIGRATION RULES.

(d) How many make unsupported claims to being accompanied
children under 16 years of age;

(e) How many claim to be entering, for temporary stay, after an.
uninterrupted residence of at least one year in Canada, Newfound-
land, Mexico, or Cuba. This exemption shall not be lost merely be-
cause, instead of entering the United States from one of the countries
named, the aliens come by way of some other foreign country in
which they have sojourned temporarily.

Thereupon the collector of customs shall forthwith collect a tax
of $8 for each alien so certified.

SuBD. 2. Special deposits and refunds. — (a) Collections pertaining
to passengers of classes (a), (6), (<?), (ti?),and (e), above referred to,
shall be held on special deposit ; to be refunded as to such of the first
as are deported ; as to such of the second as are shown by the sub-
mission of proof upon the form provided for that purpose,^ or in
the manner prescribed in paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) hereof,
within 90 days of the time of entry, to have left the United States
within 60 days of the time of entry; as to such of the third as are
promptly shown to the satisfaction of the immigration officer in
charge, and in any event within 90 days of the time of entry, to be
American citizens f as to such of the lourth as are promptly shown
to the satisfaction of the immigration officer in charge, and in any
event within 90 days of the time of entry, to be accompanied chil-
dren under 16 years of age ; and as to such of the fifth as are promptly
shown to the satisfaction of said immigration officer, and in anyevent
within seven months of the time of entry, to have left the United
States within six months of the time of entry. Collections not so re-
funded shall be accounted for in the regular maimer and covered into
the Treasury. When proof of departure as to class (6), or proof of
American citizenship or age and relationship, as to classes (c) and
(d) , respectively, is not submitted until after 90 days from the time
of entry and proof of departure as to class (e) is not submitted until
after seven months of the time of entry refund will not be allowed.

(&) Applications for refund of head tax erroneously collected will
not be considered by the bureau if presented after 90 days from the
time of entry.*

(c) Transportation companies may secure refund of head tax de-
posited on account of aliens in transit upon proving departure by
furnishing, within the time fixed herein, to the immigration official
in charge at the port of initial ingress, where the head tax is de-
posited, a coupon containing a "transit manifest," detached in
regular course of the use thereof from the alien's railroad ticket,
and showing that the alien passed through and out of the United
States as required in this rule.

(d) In isolated cases, such as those in which aliens in transit pur-
chase the tickets on which they travel through the United States after

^Form 514.

3 This plan regarding those who claim to be exempt as American citizens, but who are
unable to prove citizenship at the time of application for admission, should be followed
whether such person is manifested as an alien, is omitted from the manifest, or is noted
on the manifest as a citizen of the United States. In doubtful cases the tax should be
certified to the " special deposit account," rather tlian as " regular head tax," pending the
determination of the question at issue.

* Refund of head tax covered into the Treasury can not be made by the bureau after the
appropriation for the expenses of regulating immigration for the fiscal year has been
exhausted. See also in this connection the act of Feb. 3, 1905, and footnote thereto
(post, p. 82).

tioned in the preceding paragraph, secondary evidence, under oath,
of departure from the United States within the period prescribed in
this rule shall be accepted by the immigration officer in charge at the
initial port of ingress if such evidence shows convincingly that the
alien left the United States within the prescribedperiod.

ports of those islands. On account of aliens admitted to those islands
without payment of head tax between July 1, 1907, and May 1, 1917,
coming to the mainland on or after the latter date, head tax in the
sum of $4 per capita shall be collected at the continental port of

of all members of a family shall appear upon the same manifest sheet
when such members travel in the same class. Where the members

parture" (sec. 9) — ^which point shall be diown — ^to the foreign port
of embarkation, from the latter to the United States port of arrival,
and from the port of arrival to inland point of destination, respec-
tively, and also the amount paid for head tax.

Role S. PRDIART INSPECTION AND DETENTION.

Subdivision 1. Double inspection. — ^At each of the ports of New
York, Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Key West, New
Orleans, Galveston, San Juan, San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu,
Vancouver, Quebec, Halifax, and St. John two immigrant inspectors
shall pass upon the case of each arriving alien. The two inspectors to
serve together for this purpose shall be designated from day to day
by the immigration officials in charge at such ports. The challeng-
ing of decisions of one inspector by another shall be continued. At
seaports other than those herein enumerated and at the land border
ports double inspection shall be maintained whenever feasible.

SuBD. 2. Determination of admissibility^ in general, — ^As to each
alien applying to enter the United States, the appropriate immigra-
tion officers shall determine, as promptly as in their estimation the
circumstances permit, whether or not he is entitled to apply for
admission, and, if so, whether or not he is clearly and beyond a doubt
entitled to land.

SuBD. 3. PostponemcTd if alien in hospital. — ^If an alien suffering
from a disability which in the opinion of the immigration officials
renders it impracticable correctly to apply the immigration law to
his case is placed in hospital upon his arrival or pending determina-
tion as to his right to land, inspection may be postponed during such
disability.

SuBD. 4. Postponement if member of family in hospital, — ^If in the
estimation of the appropriate immigration officers the cases of mem-
bers of a family are interdependent, and a member is detained in
hospital from a disability of the character described in subdivision
2 of this rule, the determination of such cases may be postponed until
the member detained in hospital has been discharged therefrom.^

iForm 542.

^Typical Instances hereof are (1) where the afflicted member is a minor or one other-
wise dependent, requiring an accompanying alien in the event of deportation, one or the
other parent being the proper person to select for such purpose, and tne effect of deprivinsr
the remaining members of the family of the care of such parent would be to render some
or all of them persons likely to become public charges : (2) where the afflicted member
is the head of tne family and its only breadwinner, and his physical condition, due pre-
sumably to temporary causes, is such that he could not travel if either admitted or
ordered deported and the cases of the remaining members of the family depend upon the
disposition made of his case.

SuBD. 5. Irmaediate deternbinatiori upon certain conditions. — ^In
cases arising under subdivision 4 of this rule, when the member in
hospital is in no manner necessary to the support of the remaining
members of the family and presumably is eligible to land provided
he recover, such remaining members may be forthwith inspected and,
if found eligible, landed upon the deposit (1) of a sum of money
(or ticket covering transportation and money) sufficient to defray the
expenses of conveying the detained member to final destination, and
(2) if for infancy or any other cause he may require an attendant
when traveling or in process of deportation, unless satisfactory
assurances are given that a proper attendant will be furnished with-
out charge to the Government, of a further sum sufficient to cover
the cost of the services and transportation to and fro of such an
attendant.

SuBD. 6. Alien^s money. — ^In the absence of a statutory provision
no hard and fast rule can be laid down as to the amount of money
an alien should have. This is only one element to be considered in
each case, but generally he should have enough to provide for his
reasonable wants and those of accompanying persons dependent upon
him until such time as he is likely to find employment; also, when
bound for an interior point, railroad ticket or funds with which to
purchase the same.

Role 4. READING TEST.

Subdivision 1. TFAa subject thereto and hy whorrv examined, — ^AU
aliens over 16 years of age who are physically capable of reading,
except as specified in the statute and described in subdivision 5 of
this rule, shall be required to demonstrate their ability to read matter
printed in plainly legible type and in a language or dialect desig-
nated by the alien at the time of examination.

SuBD. 2. General method of apfl/ying the reading test, — ^When
applying the reading test, immigration officers shall use the printed
and numbered slips supplied by the bureau for that purpose, and
a record shall be made upon the manifest or board minutes showing
both the class and serial numbers of the slip used in each case and
the language or dialect designated by the applicant and actually
used in the examination. No two aliens listed upon the same mani-
fest sheet shall be examined at seaports by the use of the same slip.
If the examining inspector is unable to speak and understand the
language or dialect in which the alien is examined, the services of aii
interpreter shall be used for interpreting into spoken English as
read the printed matter read by the alien, so that the examining
inspector may compare such interpretation with the slip of corre-
sponding serial number containing the English translation of the
same reading matter.

SuBD. 3. Special method of applying reading test, — ^In all cases in
which, because of lack of the qualifiea interpreters necessary for the
observance of the general method prescribed in subdivision 2 hereof,
or because for any other reason it is impracticable to adopt said gen-
eral method, immigration officers shall use special printed and num-
bered slips supplied by the bureau, the sentences appearing upon
which are instructions to the alien to do several simple acts. The
alien's responding or failure to respond properly and in proper
order to the instructions will constitute a demonstration of whether

IMMIGRATION BULES. 43

or not he is able to read the prescribed number of words printed
upon the slip handed him.

SuBD. 4. Examination hy hoard of special inquiry. — ^In the event
the applicant is subject to the reading test and is unable to satisfy
the examining or challenging inspectors of his ability to read matter
printed in the designated language or dialect, it shall be the duty
of either the examining or the challenging inspectors to detain the
applicant for special inq[uiry and to record upon the manifest and
detention cards, for the information of the board, the class and serial
numbers of the slip used in the primary examinations. Applicants
so detained shall be examined by boards of special inquiry as to their
ability to read, in the same manner as aliens detained for special
inquiry upon other pounds. The examination shall be conducted
as prescribed in subdivisions 1 and 2 of this rule, and the result shall
be noted in the recorded minutes.

SuBD. 5. Exemptions, — The following classes of aliens over 16
Tears of age are exempted by law from the illiteracy test or from the
** operation" thereof, viz:

(a) Persons who are physically incapable of reading.

(&) Persons of any of the following relationships to United
States citizens, admissible aliens, or legally admitted alien residents
of the United States, when such persons are sent for or brought in by
such citizens, admissible aliens, or admitted aliens: Father, if over 55
years of age; grandfather, if over 55 years of age; wife; mother;
grandmpther ; unmarried daughter ; or widowed daughter.

(^6) Persons seeking admission to the United States to avoid re-
ligious persecution in the country of their last permanent residence.

(d) Persons previously residing in the United States who were
lawfully admitted, jiave resided continuously here for five years, and
return to the United States within six months from the date of their
departure therefrom.

(e) Persons in transit through the United States.^

(/) Persons lawfully admitted and who later go in transit through
foreign contiguous territory. The period an alien may remain m
foreign contiguous territory while in transit under this exemption
shall be limited to 60 days. An alien may leave and enter the United
States at the same port and still be in transit within the meaning
hereof.

(g) Exhibitors and employees of fairs and expositions authorized
by Congress.^

(h) Aliens whose ability to read can be readily and certainly
learned or ascertained by any ordinary method approved by the de-
partment may be excused from the actual taking of the test.

SuBD. 6. Method of deterrmning right to exemption. — 'With a view
to the prevention and detection of iraudulent claims to exemption
from the reading test, all claims to such exemption except those de-
scribed in paragraphs {e)^ (f), and {h) of subdivision 5 hereof,
whether indicated on the manifest or not, shall be made the subject
of careful inquiry by the examining inspector who, if he is not con-
vinced that the applicant is entitled to exemption, shall detain the
applicant for special inquiry, which shall proceed to hear and investi-
gate the case. In all cases in which the exemption claimed is not
fully established before such board the alien shall be debarred. If in

1 See subd. 2, Rule 9. « See subd. 7, Rule 27.

44 IMMIGRATION RULES.

the board's opinion an outside investigation is necessary, action may
be postponed pending investigation by officers of the Immigration
Service detailed for the purpose. Decision of the applicant's admis-
sibility shall be deferred meanwhile, and the expenses of detention
shall De borne in the manner prescribed in section 15.

SuBD. 7. Proof of exemption. — Clear and convincing proof of
claims of exemption from the illiteracy test shall be required in every
instance. When relationship by adoption is asserted, nothing less
shall be accepted as sufficient proof than a certificate from an official
who is shown by a notation placed thereon by a United States diplo-
matic or consular officer to be in charge of the records involved. The
certificate must establish that the claimed adoption occurred while
the alien was still a minor and in accordance with the laws of the
country where such certificate is issued. When the relationship of
husband and wife is asserted, unless the two parties arrive together,
so the testimony of each can be taken and compared with that of the
other, a certificate of marriage or other convincing proof of the per-
formance of the ceremony shall be exacted.

Rule 5. ACCOMPANYING ALIENS.

Subdivision 1. Rejection. — ^Under the last proviso to section 18, if
an alien who is certified to be helpless from sickness, mental or
physical disability, or infancy is accompanied by another, the accom-
panying alien may be rejected and deported as protector or guardian
of the helpless alien.

SuBD. 2. Detention wrdU case of (wcompnmed alien decided. — ^When
in the opinion of the appropriate immigration officials an alien likely
to be rejected as helpless under the la^ proviso of section 18 is ac-
companied by one or more aliens whose protection or guardianship in
the event of alien's rejection will be required, one of such accom-
panying aliens (preferably a relative or natural guardian) shall be
detained and the determination of his case may be postponed pending
decision of the case of the alien whom he accompanies.

SuBD. 3. Status after deportation. — If an alien is rejected and
deported solely because his protection or guardianship is required by
an accompanied alien^ he shall not be regarded as belonging to the
class excluded by section 3 on the ground that he had been deported
previously.^

Ride 6. CmLDREN UNDER 16, UNACCOMPANIED.

Subdivision 1. Special methods of handling cases of. — («)* All chil-
dren under 16 unaccompanied by either parent shall be held for
special inquiry unless a parent already within the United States
appears in person with satisfactory evidence of relationship and re-
sponsibility. If the board finds ( 1 ) that they are strong and healthy,
^2^ that while abroad they have not been the objects of public charity,
(3) that they are going to close relatives who are able and willing to
support and properly care for them, (4) that it is the intention of
such relatives to send them to day school until they are 16, and (5)
that they will not be put at work unsuited to their years, the board
may admit. The board shall admit when it is satisfactorily shown
that an otherwise admissible child is going to one or both of its
parents. Where the board finds the five above-mentioned facts do not

1 See subd. 13, Rule 17.

IMMIGRATION BULE8. 45

exist but that the case is otherwise especially meritorious, it shall so
report orally or in writing to the officer in charge and defer final
action until such officer personally has inspected the child. If in his
judgment the child should be admitted, he shall so state to the board
(this fact being entered of record), which thereupon may admit.
When in the opinion of such officer the child is not clearly admissible,
the board shall exclude and give notice of the right of appeal. It
thereafter an appeal be filed, the case shall be forwarded with the
recommendation either for (1) admission outright, (2) admission on
bond or cash deposit, or (3) exclusion.*

(6) At ports where there is no permanent board of special inquiry
the immigration official in charge, upon a personal inspection of such
children and those accompanying them, may admit, without exami-
nation by a board, otherwise admissible unaccompanied children
who he is satisfied will not be put at work unsuited to their years, if
he is also satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt (1) that the five facts
enumerated in the above paragraph exist, or (2) that the child is to
attend a designated reputable institution of learning, for which
suitable provision has been made in advance, or (3) that the child is
merely in transit, and the person by whom accompanied will convey
him through and out of the United States, or (4) that the child is
to make a temporary visit to close relatives.

SuBD. 2. Status after deportation. — ^If an alien deported solely on
the ground of being "under 16 imaccompanied " reapplies for ad-
mission within one year thereafter and is then over 16 or accom-
Eanied, he shall not be regarded as belonging to the class excluded
y section 3 on the ground of previous deportation.^

Ride 7. STOWAWATS.

Aliens arriving at seaports of the United States as " stowaways "
or alien "stowaways" who arrive as "workaways" shall be held
for examination by a board of special inquiry. Unless the board
reaches the unanimous conclusion that beyond a doubt the alien,
except for being or having been a stowaway, is entitled to land, it
shall exclude. Appeal shall be allowed in such a case unless some
mandatory reason for exclusion is found to exist.

Rule 8. GEOGRAPHICALLY EXCLUDED ORIENTAL ALIENS.

Subdivision 1. Who .are excluded, — Aliens who are natives of the
islands or of the territory of the continent of Asia lying between
the meridians and parallels specified in section 3 and shown by heavy
black lines on the map appended to these rules are excluded from the
United States.

SiJBD. 2. Exemptions. — ^These fall into the two following classes:
(«) Those "otherwise provided for by existing treaties," which
includes natives of so much of any country with which the United

iWhen a child under 16 Is destined to a parent but nevertheless Is found inadmissible,
rejection should not be upon the j?round that the alien is unaccompanied, but upon some
statutory ground that suostantiafly exists.

46 IMMIGRATION RULES.

States has a treaty aflfecting immigration as lies between the speci-
fied meridians and parallels, and no others ; ^

(6) Those of the status or occupations specifically enumerated in
the exception to the geographical exclusion clause of section 3.

SuBD. 3. Proof of exem/ptions. — ^Natives of the geographically de-
fined territory who claim exemption on the ground that they are of
a status or occupation mentioned in the exceptions to the geographi-
cal excluding clause shall present in support of such a claim evidence
procured in the place of their domicile showing what their status or
occupation has been during at least the two preceeding years. Such
evidence must be of a convincing nature, and its authenticity shall
be attested by the consular officer of the United States located near-
est such place of domicile. Proof that an applicant is the wife, or the
child under 16 years of age, of a person belonging to the classes
exempted by reason of status or occupation may be in any form
preferred or convenient, but must be of a convincing character.

Bale 9. ALIENS IN TRANSIT.'

Subdivision 1. Examination under law, — Every alien seeking a
landing for the purpose of proceeding directly through the United
States to a foreign country shall be examined, and, if found to be a
member of any one of the excluded classes (except illiterates) , shall
be refused permission to land, in the same manner as though he
intended to remain in the United States.* Cases where a refusal of
the privilege would entail exceptional hardship may be reported to
the bureau for a special ruling.

SuBD. 2. Illiterates. — {a) Aliens in transit across the United States
are exempted "from the operation of the illiteracy test" (sec. 3) —
not necessarily from examination under the test. If such aliens
arrive at a seaport of the United States traveling in groups, or
are grouped by the transportation companies after arrival at such
a port, their examination under the law shall not include subjecting
them to the illiteracy test, provided an arrangement of the kind
hereinafter specified is made between the transportation company
by which brought and the connecting transportation line or lines,
under which such transit aliens will be accompanied through and
out of the United States by an immigration official. Unless transit
aliens other than those just described are obviously literate,* they
shall be subjected to the illiteracy test ; and if it is thereby found that
they are illiterate within the meaning of sudi test, they shall not be
granted the transit privilege unless they are attached to groups of
transits passing through the country in the manner specified or an
arrangement of substantially similar character is made in individual
cases.

(6) Groups of transit aliens, made up in the manner above indi-
cated, shall be permitted, if otherwise admissible, to travel through
the United States, whether literate or illiterate, provided the trans-

iThe treaty, laws, and rules goyemlng the admission of Chinese are published In a
separate departmental pamphlet.

2 The transit of Chinese is regulated by Rule 17 of the Chinese Rules of May 1, 1917.

8 Often somewhat different considerations enter Into the decision of transit cases than
exist in cases of applicants for admission. For instance, aliens who might be deemed
inadmissible to the United States as likely to become public charges or physically defective
might nevertheless be acceptable to the immigration officials of Canada, and therefore
with propriety might be allowed to proceed in transit to that country.

* On account of aliens found to be literate, who are granted the transit privilege with-
out being grouped in the manner described in this rule, deposit of head tax is required.

portation company by which they are brought to a port of the United
States arranges with the transportation company or companies by
which they are to be transported through and out of the United
States that the aliens shail be under sufficient surveillance during the
entire time that they are within the limits of the United States to
insure that they will not leave the train, vessel, or other vehicle of con-
veyance during such time, such surveillance to include the conveying
with the transit aliens of one immigration official for each group of
60 or less aliens. The transportation companies shall furnish trans-
portation to the immigration official who accompanies each group,
and shall pay all expenses incident to the travel, both ways, to which
the inspector shall be put. In no instance shall the inspector per-
sonally collect money from the aliens themselves, but he shall look
to the interested transportation companies or to the parties interested
in the movement of the aliens for the payment of all of these expenses.
The immigration officials in charge and steamship and railway lines
shall cooperate to the fullest extent practicable m the ^ouping of
the transit aliens, and each group accompanied shall contain a reason-
able number of persons, all attendant circumstances considered.^

Rule 10. SEAMEN.

SuBon^isiON 1. TTAo are seamen, — {a) "The term * seaman' as
used in this act shall include every person signed on the ship's ar-
ticles and employed in any capacity on board any vessel arriving in
the United States from any foreign port or place" (sec. 1). In
the seamen sections (sees. 31-36^ the terms "member of the crew,"
" alien employed on board," " alien seaman," and " alien employee "
are used as synonymous with the word " seaman " as defined in the
act. Wherever such words or terms are used in this rule or in the
immigration act they shall have the meaning above given. Only
aliens who come within such definition shall be treated in the special
manner herein specified. The cases of all others shall be handled in
accordance with the general requirements of the immigration act and
of other immigration rules herewith promulgated or in accordance
with the treaty, laws, and rules governing the admission of Chinese.

(5) "Arriving in the United States from any foreign port or
place " means arriving in the " United States^ and any waters, terri-
tory, or other place subject to the jurisdiction thereof, except the
Isthmian Canal Zone," from any port or place in a foreign country,
in the Canal Zone, or in any insular possession of the United States
(sees. 1, 19, and 31-36 of the immigration act; sec. 1 of the Chinese-
exclusion act of April 29, 1902, as amended by sec. 5 of the deficiency
act of April 27, 1904) or, in cases of Chinese persons or persons of
Chinese descent, in the Territory of Hawaii (last mentioned act and
joint resolution of July 7, 1898). In the expression "reship foreign"
and similar expressions used in this rule, the word "foreign" includes
the insular possessions and the Canal Zone in all cases and also
Hawaii in Chinese cases.

SuBD. 2. Collection of head tax, — {a) The head tax shall be col-
lected on " alien seamen regularly admitted as provided in this act."
(Sec. 2.) If the seaman shall be discharged in a United States port

1 On account of aliens In transit through the United States under this arrangement the
deposit of head tax is not required. (Seo subd. 3 (i7)» Rule 1.)

48 IMMIGRATION BULBS.

by the master or any other officer of the vessel " bringing such alien
to the United States," and thereupon shall be regularly admitted, the
tax shall be paid by the " master, agent, owner, or consignee of the
vessel " or " transportation line " responsible under section 2.

(&) If the seaman lands without being discharged and voluntarily
applies to the immigration officials for examination, or is appre-
hended after entering without inspection and examined, and as a
consequence of either examination is admitted, the seaman shall be
required to pay the tax himself as a condition precedent to his regu-
lar admission. But the same exception that applies to alien pas-
sengers from the insular possessions shall apply to cases arising here-
under.^

(c) " Regularly admitted " means admitted with intention not to
resnip foreign and in accordance with the terms of this rule.

SuBD. 3. Listmg^ registering^ and identifying. — {a) Arriving and
departing seamen shall be listed on the blank forms provided for that
purpose by the department,^ in accordance with the terms of section
36. When an arriving seaman is a " workaway " a notation to that
effect should be made upon the list.

(&) Clearance shall not be granted any vessel until the lists required
by section 36 have been furnished, and not then unless notice of lia-
bility to the administrative fine prescribed by said section or to that
Srescribed by section 35 having been served, the deposit specified in
!,ule 28 (subd. 2) has been made.

((?) The notice required by section 36 to be furnished regarding
any alien who may have " illegally landed " while the vessel has been
in port should consist of a letter reporting the fact ^ and giving the
name, nationality, and description of the alien and "any informa-
tion " within the knowledge of the master or officers of the ship or
transportation line " likely to lead to his apprehension." " Illegally
landed " means landed in any manner other than that prescribed in
this rule.

{d) When a vessel calls at several United States ports the list of
arriving seamen required by section 36 ^hall be delivered to the im-
migration officialln charge at the port of arrival, who will give his
receipt therefor to the master; the report of the illegal landings
required by said section shall be made to the immigration official in
charge at the port of arrival or call where the illegal landing occurs;
and the list of departing, deserted, and landed seamen required by
said section shall be delivered to the immigration official in charge
at the final port of call, i, e,, the port from which the vessel departs
sailing foreign. The immigration official in charge at any port of
call or final clearance foreign shall promptly notify the immigration
official in charge at the port of initial entry (where the incoming
crew list is filed) of any and all changes occurring in the crew of
any vessel subsequent to departure from such initial port of arrival;
and such report shall be filed with the crew list to which it refers.

(^) A card register of arriving seamen shall be prepared and kept
in the following manner: Masters or other officers or vessels in the
foreign trade shall furnish each alien seaman in their employ with

IMMIGRATION BITLES. 49

a card^ containing his name, age at date of issue, nationality, per-
sonal description, and his photograph. A duplicate of said oard shall
be furnished by the master or other officer to the immigration officials.
The latter, on the first occasion when the seaman is examined, shall
complete the card and duplicate by signing his name along the mar-
gin of the photograph, partly thereon and partly on the card itself,
and by having the seaman do likewise. Also, the examining immigra-
tion official 3iall indicate on the original and duplicate cards the
status of the seaman under the law, as provided in subdivision 6
hereof. The original of the card, after being so completed, shall be
delivered to the seaman; the duplicate shall fe filed and properly in-
dexed for future reference. Upon reasonable proof of loss or destruc-
tion of the original, or upon the surrender of the original when it be-
comes worn or mutilated, a copy of the card shall be furnished to any
seaman who at the time of making the application still occupies a
lawful status as seaman. Such application may be made directly by
the seaman to the immigration officer in charge at any port, or through
the master or other officer of a vessel by which the seaman rearrives
in a United States port to an examining immigration official, in the
latter event the card being filled out by the master or other officer as
though an original and a note attached showing that it is a reissue.

(/) No seaman shall be allowed by an immigrant inspector to land
from a vessel, either temporarily or permanently, without being
registered in the foregoing manner and furnished with an identifica-
tion card, unless he presents such a card showing that he already has
been registered. If any owner, agent, consignee, or master of a vessel
pays off or discharges or fails to retain on board any alien who has
not been given the inspection rejjuired by this rule, such vessel
thereby becomes liable to prosecution for. the penalty prescribed by
sections 32 and 33, and steps to that end shall be taken at once by the
immigration official in charge.

SuBD. 4. Medical examination, — {a) All alien seamen arriving in
ports of the United States shall be medically examined, as far as
practicable, aboard ship each time they arrive. Such examination
shall be similar to that made in the cases of alien passengers.

(&) If any such seaman shall be foimd, as the result of examina-
tion on board or elsewhere, to be affiicted with any mental defect or
physical disease or affection which by operation of the certificate alone
places him within any class of aliens mandatorily excluded by section
3, he shall be so certified, and shall be allowed to appeal to a board of
surgeons, and, in mental cases, to introduce an expert witness of his
own choice before such board, if he so desires,^ the time and place of
the convening of the board to be fixed by the medical officer in charge.

{c) The certificate, if issued aboard ship^ shall be delivered to the
immigration officer in charge of the examination of the seamen of the
vessel involved, who shall promptly, for and in the name of the immi-
gration officer in charge at the port, notify the master or other respon-
sible officer of the vessel ^ that the alien must be detained on board in
accordance with section 32 or placed in hospital in accordance with
said section or section 35 and subdivision 5 hereof, as the certificate
may indicate is advisable or the circumstances may demand, unless
arrangements with the immigration official in charge shall be made by

the master or other officer of the vessel or transportation company for
detention -in an immigration station at the expense of the vessel or
company ; if the certificate is rendered after removal of the seaman
from the vessel, the immigration officer in charge shall proceed as
above indicated.

{d) If the medical officer is unable for any reason to complete the
medical examination aboard ship and so reports to the immigration
officer in charge of the examination of the seamen of the vessel in-
volved, such officer shall direct that the seaman be removed to the
immigration station (or other appropriate similar place) for observa-
tion and further medical examination, serving upon the master or
other responsible officer of the vessel a notice to that effect.^ The ex-
pense involved in such removal and detention shall be borne by the
owner, agent, consignee, or master of the vessel involved.

SuBD. 5. Exclusion and hospital treatment of mentally or physi-
cally afflicted, — No seaman afflicted with idiocy, imbecility, insanity,
epilepsy, tuberculosis in any form, or a loathsome contagious or dan-
gerous contagious disease shall be permitted to land permanently in
a port of the United States, and a seaman so afflicted shall be per-
mitted to land temporarily only in the event that he is entitled to
receive, or the circumstances are such as to require for humane or
sanitary reasons that he shall be afforded, treatment in either a pub-
lic-health or other hospital. (Sees. 32 and 35.) If a certificate re-
quiring the vessel to be fined is issued in accordance with section 35,
the seaman shall be detained and treated in hospital designated by
the immigration official in charge " at the expense of the vessel.'*
If such a certificate is not rendered, or the case is not covered by sec-
tion 35, arrangements shall be made for the treatment of the seaman
in a marine hospital or in a contract hospital of the Public Health
Service; the expense to be borne by the marine hospital fund in the
cases of those who are " beneficiaries " of such f und,^ and to be guar-
anteed and paid, and the payment enforced, in accordance with the
regulations of the Public Health Service in the cases of those em-
ployed on foreign vessels.* If an afflicted seaman shall be cured of
any other disability than insanity before deportation becomes prac-
ticable, he shall be accorded the inspection prescribed in subdivision
6 hereof.

SuBD. 6. Primary im/migration inspection. — {a) In addition to the
medical examination which, together with its results, is described in
the two preceding subdivisions, all seamen arriving in ports of the
United States, except those rejected or placed in hospitals in conse-
quence of such medical examination, shall be regularly inspected by
immigrant inspectors.

(&) If any seaman is not already in possession thereof, the officers
of the vessel shall furnish him with the identification card described
in subdivision 3 hereof. If the inspector ascertains that the seaman's
intention is not to reship foreign or to remain on a vessel that sails
foreign, the inspection shall proceed as though the seaman were an
alien passenger applying for admission, and he shall be admitted or held
for special inquiry in re^lar course, the uncompleted card being

taken up. If it is ascertained that it is the seaman's intention to re-

main on the vessel or to reship foreign, the inspection shall proceed
sufficiently to develop to a reasonable degree whether or not the alien
belongs to one of the excluded classes, a notation thereupon to be
placed upon the card indicating the inspector's opinion as to the
seaman's admissibility if he were applying for entry. There shall be
printed on the identification card the three notations, " Division 1,"
" Division 2," and " Division 3." If the inspector is satisfied of the
seaman's admissibility he shall draw a line through the latter two,
leaving the former as a notation expressing his opinion ; if satisfied
of the seaman's inadmissibility, the first two shall be stricken out and
the last left as the inspector's notation ; but if doubt exists upon the
part of the inspector, the first and last shall be stricken out, leaving
"Division 2" as the inspector's notation upon the card. For ex-
ample, if the inspector ascertains that the seaman is a Chinese, or a
laborer from a country that issues limited passports, and not ui pos-
session of a passport entitling him to land in the United States, or is
a native of that portion of the Orient geographically defined in sec-
tion 3 and Rule 8, or is an illiterate within the meaning of the illit-
eracy test of section 3, the inspector, as a matter of course shall strike
out the first two notations and leave the last; if he ascertains that the
seaman does not belong to any of such classes, and is satisfied from
inspection and examination of him that he is neither likely to become
a public charge not afflicted with any minor physical defect that may
anect earning capacity, he shall permit the notation " Division 1 " to
remain upon the card, striking out the other two ; if the inspector is
in doubt with respect to these indefinite and not always readily
determinable points, the second notation shall be left upon the card,
the first and third being stricken out.

(c) If such seaman is already in possession of the identification
card prescribed in subdivision 3, the " primary immigration inspec-
tion" shall consist merely in determinmg that the presenter is the
proper holder of the card and in ascertaining whether or not it is his
intention to reship. If he asserts it is his intention to reship foreign,
the " inspection " shall be closed by returning his card to him, unless
it is necessary to order such seaman held on board or to remove him
to an immigration station or other similar place or to hospital under
subdivision 4 or subdivision 5 hereof, in either of which contingencies
the card shall be retained and returned to the seaman only if he is
eventually allowed to reship foreign. If he asserts an intention not
to reship foreign, then the inspection shall proceed as though the sea-
man were an alien passenger applying for admission, the seaman to be
admitted or held for special inquirer in regular course as the facts
mav require. If admitted, his identification card should be taken up.

(d) Whenever it is ascertained that a seaman applying for either
permanent or temporary admission belongs to the excluded class (sec.

plying for admission," the case shall promptly be brought to the at-
tention of the department with request for instructions.

SuBD. 7. Secondary immigration inspection. — {a) Any seainan
holding holding an identification card containing the notation " Divi-
sion 1 " made thereon in accordance with subdivision 6 hereof, who,
at any time after having been permitted to land with the intention of
reshipping, changes that intention and desires to remain permanently
in the United States, may accomplish that purpose by simply sur-
rendering his identification card to an immigration officer in charge
at any immigration station in the United States and furnish the usual
manifest data and a postal money order covering the head tax. In
such case the officer to whom the card is surrendered and the money
order for head tax delivered shall forward such card to the officer in
charge at the port where it issued and such money order to the officer
in. charge at tne port where the alien last entered ; and thereupon an
entry shall be made in the appropriate records of such latter office
showing the regular entry of the alien to the United States as of the
dato of the surrender and payment.

(6) Anv seaman holding an identification card bearing either the
notation "Division 3 " or " Division 2 " made thereon in accordance
with subdivision 6 hereof who, at any time after having been per-
mitted to land with the intention of reshipping, changes that inten-
tion and desires to remain permanently in the United States, may
apply for complete inspection to the immigration officer in charge at
any immigration station in the United States. Thereupon such a
seaman shall be examined in regular manner, held for examination
by board of special inquiry if expressly excludable or the facts and
circumstances developed raise a doubt regarding his admissibility,
or if found admissible by the inspector or the board he shall be ad-
mitted upon surrendering his identification card and paying the head
tax ; if rejected by the board, he shall be allowed an appeal to the de-
partment at Washington. If upon the taking of an appeal the board's
decision is affirmed, a warrant of deportation will be issued by the
department and the alien deported (sec. 20) at the expense of the
immigration appropriation. If the alien is admitted by the inspector,
the board, or the department, the identification card and the money
order for head tax collected shall be disposed of and a statistical
entry made in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph
hereof.

SuBD. 8. Value of identification card. — The seaman's identification
card hereinbefore prescribed shall not constitute evidence of a right
to enter or to be or to remain in the United States. It simply evi-
dences the status of the holder as a seaman, identifies him, and indi-
cates the point to which his inspection or examination under the law
has proceeded and what remains to be done in his case if he ceases to
be a seaman and becomes an alien applicant for admission. It shall
have the same value at every other port as at the port where issued.

SuBD. 9. Arrest of violators. — (a) Any alien who shall come to a
United States port as a seaman and land or remain in the United
States otherwise than in pursuance of and in accordance with the
provisions of this rule shall be arrested, as provided in section 34,
whenever and wherever found in this country within three years
from the date of landing or from the date when his status changed
from that of a seaman to that of an alien here resident. Such alien
then shall be brought before a board of special inquiry and sub-

IMMIGRATION BULES. 53

jected to a thorough examination under all provisions of the immi-
gration law apiplicable to the case of an alien seeking admission;
such investigation, if any, as may be necessary to develop evidence
concerning him shall be conducted and he shall be subjected also to
the medical examination required in the cases of alien applicants for
admission. If rejected by the board he shall be allowed an appeal
to the department unless the rejection is upon a ground with respect
to which the law prohibits an appeal; and in any event the record
of the board of special inquiry shall be transmitted to the bureau
for submission to the department, in order that a final decision may
be rendered if upon appeal and that a warrant of deportation may
be issued whether upon appeal or not. Upon the issuance of the
warrant the alien shall be deported at the expense of the immigra-
tion appropriation.

(6) If the alien is charged in the warrant of arrest merely with
entering contrary to the provisions of section 34 and Rule 10, the
conduct of the hearing shall be governed by subdivision 2 of Rule 15.
But if the warrant contains any other cnaree. the conduct of the
hearing shall be governed by subdivision 5 of Bule 22. ^

SuBD. 10. Administrative fines. — The fine prescribed by section 35
for bringing to United States ports seamen afflicted with certain
mental and physical disabilities shall be assessed in accordance with
subdivisions 1^ 2 (a), and 5 of Rule 28, and that prescribed by sec-
tion 36 for failure to furnish specific information regarding seamen
shall be assessed in accordance with subdivision 2 (A) of Rule 28.

SuBD. 11. Sea/men returned to United States under consular regu-
lations. — ^Aliens employed as seamen on vessels of American registry
are entitled under tne navigation laws ^ to certain privileges, includ-
ing that of being returned to the United States when discharged in
a foreign port on account of injury or illness or when they become
destitute under certain circumstances in foreign countries. Even
though such seamen arrive as passengers or as workaways, their
cases shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of this
rule. If necessary the cost of photographs in such cases shall be
borne from the appropriation for the enforcement of the immigra-
tion act.

SuBD. 12. Disabled seamen. — ^A disabled alien seaman, who never-
theless does not intend to relinquish his calling but whom the master
of the vessel is obliged under tne navigation Taws of the country to
which the vessel belongs to return to the country where he embarked,
may, under such regulations as the officer in charge deems proper to
carry out the purposes of this subdivision, pass through the United
States in transit to such country by the most expeditious and direct
route. Where he is suffering from a loathsome contagious or danger-
ous contagious disease, or with tuberculosis in any form, or from a
mental disability, or is in such physical or mental condition as to
render him a person likely to become a public charge, the master
must make arrangements for his proper care while m transit and
furnish a sum of money sufficient to defray the expenses thereof.
These provisions are made in the interest of trade and because of the

tional comity ; and in all cases to which they apply the immigration
officials shall confer not only with the master but with the consular

Rule 11. LABORERS FROM COUNTRIES WmCH GRANT LIMITED PASSPORTS.

Subdivision 1. PresidenVs proclamation, — ^The President's procla-
mation on this subject, issued February 24, 1913, reads as follows :

Whereas by the act entitled "An act to regulate the immigration of aliens
into the United States," approved February 20, 1907, whenever the President
is satisfied that passports issued by any foreign Government to its citizens to
go to any country other than the United States or to any insular possession of
the United States or to the Canal ^ne, are being used for the purpose of en-
abling the holders to come to the continental territory of the United States to
the detriment of labor conditions therein. It is made the duty of the President
to refuse to permit such citizens of the country issuing such passports to enter
the continental territory of the United States from such country or from such
insular possession or from the Canal Zone;

And whereas, upon suflScient evidence produced before me by the Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor, I am satisfied that passports issued by certain
foreign Governments to their citizens or subjects who are laborers, skilled or
unskilled, to proceed to countries or places other than the continental territory
of the United States are being used for the purpose of enabling the holders
thereof to come to the continental territory of the United States to the detri-
ment of labor conditions therein :

I hereby order that such alien laborers, skilled or unskilled, be refused per-
mission to enter the continental territory of the United States.

It is further ordered that the Secretary of Commerce and Labor be, and he
hereby is, directed to take, through the Bureau of Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion, such measures and to make and enforce such rules and regulations as
may be necessary to carry this order into effect.

SuBD. 2. E-ffect of proclamation, — ^The proclamation requires that
laborers, skilled or unskilled, who are citizens of a country which
grants to its laborers proceeding abroad limited labor passports only,
and who present at a continental port a passport entitling them only
to admission to countries or places other than continental United
States, shall be rejected. It does not in any particular relieve such
aliens from examination under the general provisions of the law.

SuBD. 3. Rejection or admission as affected hy passport,--^! such
a laborer applies for admission and presents no passport, it shall be
presumed (1) that when he departed from his own country he did
not possess a passport entitling him to come to the continental terri-
tory of the United ijStates, and (2) that at that time he did possess a
passport limited to some country or place other than continental
United States. If he presents a passport entitling him to enter con-
tinental United States or not limited to some country or place other
than continental United States, he shall be admitted, unless he be-
longs to one of the classes excluded by the general provisions of the
law. If he presents such a limited passport, but claims that he is
not a laborer, skilled or unskilled, proof of such claim shall be re-
quired.

SuBD. 4. Right of appeal^ etc, — All laborers excluded under this
rule shall be advisea not only of their right of appeal where one lies,
but also that they may communicate by telegraph or otherwise with
any diplomatic or consular officer of their Grovernment, and they
shall be afforded opportunity for doing so.

IMMIQBATI02<9^ BULES. 65

SuBD. 6, Defmtion of term Zahorer, — For practical administrative
purposes the term " laborer^ skilled and unskilled," within the mean-
ing of the Executive order of February 24^ 1913, shall be taken to
refer primarily to persons whose work is essentially physical, or, at
least, manual, as farm laborers, street laborers, factory hands, con-
tractors' men, stablemen, freight handlers, stevedores, miners, and
the like ; and to persons whose work is less physical, but still manual,
and who may be highly skilled, as carpenters, stonemasons, tile set-
ters, painters, blacksmiths, mechanics, tailors, printers, and the like ;
but shall not be taken to refer to persons whose work is neither
distinctively manual nor mechanical, but rather professional, artistic,
mercantile, or clerical, as pharmacists, draftsmen, photographers,
designers, salesmen, bookkeepers, stenographers, copyists, and the
like.

SuBD. 6. Passports to he indorsed. — ^Passports presented by aliens
covered by this rule shall be plainly indorsed, in indelible ink, by
the officer admitting or rejecting the applicant, in such a manner as
to show the fact and date of admission or rejection. The officer shall
sign such indorsement, and the passport shall be returned to the
presenter.

oflScial in charge at the place of ingress and egress. The applicant
ior such a card shall be required to furnish two unmounted photo-
:graphs of himself, of appropriate size, for attachment to the card,
and shall supply the data necessary to fill out the card in complete
form. To guard against the use of the card by any other person
than the one to whom furnished (through its being lost or stolen or
otherwise improperly acquired) the official issuing the card shall re-
quire the applicant to sign his name partly on the margin of the
photograph and partly on the body of the card itself. The cardf may
be issued also to United States citizens desirous of availing them-
selves of this means of ready identification. It shall constitute a
pass which shall be promptly honored by immigration officials simply
upon satisfying themselves that the person presenting it is the person
represented by the photograph thereto attached and therefore the
rightful holder of the card.

Role 13. INSPECTION ON BIEXICAN BORDER.

Subdivision 1. Ports of entry, — ^Under section 19 the following
are named as Mexican border ports of entry for aliens : Brownsville,
Hidalgo, Rio Grande City, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Presidio,
and El Paso, Tex.; Douglas, Naco, Nogales, San Fernando, and
Ajo, Ariz.; and Andrade, Calexico, Campo, and Tia Juana, Cal.^

SuBD. 2. Procedure, — (a) Aliens applying for admission at the
Mexican border ports of entry are subject to examination in the same
manner and to the same extent as though arriving at seaports, report
of inspection to be made on the appropriate form ; • if they cross the
border by bridge or railway company, such company shall be respon-
sible for the head tax.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph («:), aliens crossing the
border bj^ any vehicle (including stage lines) regularly engaged in
transporting passengers, said vehicles by which they come shall be
responsible for the head tax. If they cross the border at a port of
entry otherwise than as provided in paragraph (a) or this paragraph,
such aliens, if the head tax is assessaole, shall be questioned, as a pre-
liminary to inspection, onlj sufficiently to determine with precision
whether, in the event full inspection would show them to be admis-
sible, they are able and willing to pay the $8 head tax. If this ques-
tion is determined affirmatively, inspection shall be completed; and
if the aliens are found admissible, they shall be required to pay the
tax to the collector of customs before being permitted to enter.*

(c) Refusal or inability upon the part of an alien to pay the head
tax, when assessable, either to the carrier responsible or direct to the
collector of customs when proper, shall be cause for refusal to enter-

tain the alien's application for admission. Proper records in each
such case shall be made. Negligent failure of a legally and finan-
cially responsible carrier regularly engaged in transporting aliens to
collect the tax shall not absolve such carrier from liability therefor
nor operate to prevent the inspection of the applicant.

(d) Head tax shall be paid bj the alien himself to the appropriate
collector of customs in all cases m which it is impracticable to proceed
otherwise under this rule for its collection.

SuBD. 3. Identificastion of aliens habU-uaily crossing boundary, —
The card of identification prescribed by subdivision 9 of rule 12 shall
be used also upon the Mexican border.

Rulis 14. ALIENS REACmNG CONTINENTAL PORTS VIA HAWAEL

Stjbdivision 1. Exatrdnation at Hawaiian 'port. — Aliens arriving'
in Hawaii bound for the continent shall be inspected and given a
certificate/ signed by the immigration officer in charge at Honolulu,
showing fact and date of landing.

SuBD. 2. Certificates for alien residents of Hawaii. — ^Aliens who,
having been manifested bona fide to Hawaii and having resided there
for a time, signify to the immigration officer in charge at Honolulu
an intention to go to the continent shall be furnished such certificate
as evidence of their regular entry at an insular port.^

Sued. 3. Admission at coniinerdaL ports of aliens presenting cer-
tificates. — Aliens applying at continental ports and surrendering the
certificate described in subdivision 2 shall be permitted to land, upon
identification (and payment of $4 head tax if they entered Hawaii
between July 1, 1907, and May 1, 1917), provided it appears that at
the time such aliens were admitted to Hawaii they were not members
of the excluded classes or likely to become public charges if they
proceeded thence to the mainland.

Sued. 4. Arrest and deportation. — ^If aliens applying at conti-
nental ports fail to present the certificate described in subdivision 2,.
it shall be presumed that they were not examined when entering^
Hawaii, and they shall be arrested in accordance with Rule 22 on
the ground of entry without inspection and on such other pounds
as may be found to exist. If it is found in accordance with sub-
division 3 hereof that such aliens at the time of entry to Hawaii
were members of the excluded classes or likely to become public
charges if they proceeded thence to the mainland, they shall be
reported for arrest in accordance with Rule 22 on either or both
of those grounds.

Sued. 5. Hawaiian citizens. — In order to save possible delay and
inconvenience at the port of entry, residents of the Hawaiian Islands
claiming to be citizens of the United States who desire to proceed to
the mainland may have their status investigated by the inspector
in charge at Honolulu. A favorable decision by said official will en-
title the applicant to be landed at a mainland port of entry upon
identification. An adverse decision will not preclude the party from
applying at a port of entry on the mainland, relying upon his ability
to establish his claimed citizenship to the satisfaction of the officer in
charge.

of special inquiry shall first subscribe to an oath of office.^

Sued. 2. Heaarings. — Boards of sj)ecial inquiry shall determine all
cases as promptly as in the estimation of the immigration officer in

sity of giving the alien a fair hearing. Hearings before the boards
*' snail be separate and apart from the public " ; but the alien may
have one friend or relative present after the preliminary part of the
hearing has been completed : ^ Provided^ First, that such friend or
relative is not and will not be employed by him as coimsel or attor-
ney ; second, that, if a witness^ he has already completed the giving of
his testimony ; third, that he is not an a^ent or a representative at an
immigration station of an immigrant aid or other similar society or
organization ; and, fourth, that he is either actually related to or an
acquaintance of the alien.

SuBD. 3. Adducing facts concerning liability to fines. — ^In all cases
in which there is any reason, other ttian the issuance of a surgeon's
certificate, for believing that any one of the administrative fines pre-
scribed by the law, and specified in Eule 28 hereof, may have been
incurred, boards shall be careful to develop in the course of their
hearings all facts and circumstances material to a determination of
the transportation company's liability to such fine.

Sued. 4. Expense of return voyage. — An excluded alien shall be
informed that the return voyage is at the expense of the steamship
company which brought himj that the transportation company must
return him in the same class in which he came ; and, in cases covered
by section 9, that a refund of his transportation from the initial

Eoint of departure to port of rejection is due him. The fact that he
as been so informed shall be entered in the minutes.

Rule 16. READMISSION AND TEMPORARY ADMISSION.

Subdivision 1. Readrrdssion of permanently dorrd&Hed^ temporarily
absent aliens. — ^Under the seventh proviso to section 3, aliens who
have lived in the United States continuously for seven years may be
readmitted, after a temporary absence abroad, under such conditions
as the department may prescribe. In such cases convincing proof of
a continuous residence of seven years shall be exacted, and an absence
not exceeding six months shall be deemed a "temporary absence"
within the meaning of the law. All such cases in which rejection
occurs shall be promptly brought by the immigration official in
charge to the attention of the bureau, with a complete report of the
reasons for the alien's exclusion. The conditions to be observed, such
as the furnishing of bond or of cash deposit, treatment in hospital,
etc.. will be specified by the bureau and the department as the cases
arise.

SuBD. 2. Temporary ad/rmssion of otherwise inadmissible aliens. —
The ninth proviso to section 3 authorizes the bureau and the depart-
ment to issue rules and prescribe conditions to control and regulate
the admission and return of otherwise inadmissible aliens applying
for temporary admission. In cases in which aliens who are manda-
torily excluded from permanent entry apply for the privilege of

62 IMMIGRATION RULES.

entering the United States temporarily, they shall be required ta
show that their temporary entry is an urgent necessity or that un-
usual and grave hardship would result from a denial of their request*.
A bond, a cash deposit, or other equally satisfactory assurance that
such alien will depart in due course from the United States will be
exacted by the department in every instance. The submission of an
unmounted photograph, in duplicate, may be required when needed_
as a means of identifying the temporarily admitted alien in con-
nection with his departure at the port of entry or some other port..
Ordinarily such cases should be reported as they arise to the depart-
ment for special ruling. In instances, however, in which the cases
fall into regular channels and can be handled under general instruc-
tions (for instance, the admission of physically or mentally afflicted
aliens from Canada to receive urgent and special treatment or to
undergo operations in medical institutions on this side of the bound-
ary) they may be handled under general instructions, which will
be issued by the bureau and the department upon request.

Rule 17. APPEALS.

Subdivision 1. Infomdng alien as to right of appeal. — ^Where an
appeal lies the alien shall be informed of his right thereto, and the
tact that he has been so informed shall be entered in the minutes.

Sued. 2. Appeals^ hoxo fled. — An alien desiring to appeal may da
so individually or through any society admitted to an immigration sta-
tion or through any relative or friend or through any person, includ-
ing attorneys, permitted to practice before the immigration authori-
ties. Where such an appeal has been taken any further appeal shall
be disregarded. Appeals purporting to be filed on behalf of an alien-
but without his knowledge or consent previously obtained, may be
ignored. A board member who dissents from a majority vote to
admit also may take an appeal. In such a case the alien shall be
allowed the same opportunity for representation as though the
appeal were his, but his brief or argument must be submitted at the
same time that the board member's appeal is forwarded to the
bureau.

SuBD. 3. Time forJiUng^ appeals. — Appeals must be filed promptly.
The immigration officer in charge may refuse to accept an appeal
filed after the alien has been removed from an immigration station for
deportation, provided the alien had a reasonable opportunity to
appeal before such removal. Any appeal filed more than 48 hours
after the time of an excluding decision may be rejected by the immi-
gration officer in charge in his discretion.

SuBD. 4. Where no appeal lies. — No appeal lies where the decision
of a board of special inquiry, based upon the certificate of the exam-
ining medical officer, as required by section 17, rejects an alien be-
cause {a) he is afflicted with tuberculosis in any form or a loathsome
contagious or dangerous contagious disease, or (&) he is an idiot or
an imbecile or an epileptic or is insane or feeble-minded, or (c) he is
afflicted with constitutional psychopathic inferiority or has any
mental defect or is a chronic alcoholic.

SuBD. 5. Wh^re appeal lies despite certi-ficate. — ^When an alien is
certified for a physical defect other than tuberculosis in any form or
a loathsome contagious or dangerous contagious disease, the board

IMMIGRATION BULES. 63

of special inquirv must decide, on the basis of all the eridence (in-
cluding the certificate) whether or not such certified defect may affect
his ability to earn a living. An alien rejected on said ground is
entitled to appeal.

SuBD. 6. Forwarding appeal record. — The complete appeal record
shall be forwarded promptly to the bureau with the views in writ-
ing of the immiCTation officer in charge.

SuBD. 7. Bonds under section 21 ^. — Where the landing of an alien
under bond is authorized, unless different instructions are given, the
bond* shall be in the sum of $500, and the alien shall not be re-
leased until it has been furnished and the immigration official in
charge has satisfied himself of the responsibility of the sureties. If
withm a reasonable time after landing under bond is authorized a
satisfactory bond is not furnished, instructions shall be requested of
the bureau.

SuBD. 8. Cash deposits vmder section 21. — ^If the acceptance of a
cash deposit is authorized, the deposit, unless different instructions
are given, shall be in the form of a postal money order and in the sum
of $500. A receipt for the deposit shall be issued by the officer in
charge, showing the object for which the money has been accepted
and the disposition to be made thereof. The monev order shall be
then transmitted to the department, by which it will be deposited in
the postal savings bank at Washington, in such manner as to permit
the interest accruing thereon to be paid semiannually and transmit-
ted to the person making the cash deposit.

Sued. 9. Reopening of cases, — ^Whenever a case is referred back to
a board by the bureau or the department in order that additional evi-
dence may be taken, such case is thereby reopened ; and after the new
evidence has been taken the board shall render a new decision, in
which it may in its discretion reaffirm, alter, or reverse its previous
decision. The mere action of referring back a case under such cir-
cumstances is not to be taken as an indication of any disapproval by
the bureau or the department of the board's decision or of what the
new decision should be.

Sued. 10. Bequests for reopening, — ^Whenever, either before or
after receipt of a decision from the bureau or the department affirm-
ing an excluding decision, the local immigration officials learn of new
evidence of such relevancy and materiality as in their opinion to re-
quire that, in justice to the alien or the United States, it be consid-
ered by the board, they may stay deportation and request the bu-
reau's permission to reopen the case, at the same time briefly stating
the general nature of the new evidence. This usually should be done
by letter. Whenever it is necessary to resort to a telegram, such tele-
gram shall be in substantially the following form :

For the purpose of receiving new material evidence, recommend reopening
case of (Very briefly indicate character of new evidence.)

The words " For the purpose of receiving new material evidence,
recommend reopening case of " shall be represented by the code wora
" Renvoy." Thus it will be possible to phrase the telegram in a few
words. Upon receipt of the bureau's permission to reopen, the board
again acquires full control of the case as under subdivision 9 hereof,

^For release of arrested aliens tinder bond, see Rule 22.
a Execute in duplicate* using Form 554 or 579.

64 IMMIGRATION BULES.

SuBD, 11. Procedure in reopened cases. — ^The hearing in a case re-
opened before a board of special inquiry shall be of the same nature
and be subject to the same conditions, limitations, and privileges as
an original hearing before such body.

SuBD. 12. Detention expenses dwrin^ extended time. — ^The immi-
gration officer in charge may decline, m his discretion, to extend an
alien's time to appeal or to delay deportation except on condition
that there be deposited a sum of money sufficient to defray the cost
of maintenance during the extension or delay granted.

SuBD. 13. Applications for privilege of reapplying for adrrdssion. —
Aliens rejected or arrested and deported under any provision of the
act who apply for admission withm one year after such deportation
are mandatorily excluded, unless prior to so applying, at either a sea-
port or a land border port, they shall have obtained the consent of
the Secretary to their again presenting themselves for examination
(sees. 3 and 18). Application for this privilege always shall be sub-
mitted to the immigration official in cnarge at the port where the
alien was previously rejected or the immigration official in charge
of the district in which the alien was arrested for deportation, and
shall be forwarded by such official to the bureau, accompanied by the
record previously formulated, imless the bureau already, through
warrant or appeal proceedings, has come into possession of such rec-
ord. The telegraphing of such applications shall be avoided as far
as possible and, when gi*anted, always shall be at the expense of the
alien or those interested in him both as to the application (which
should be prepaid) and telegraphic response from the department
(which will be transmitted "collect"). Aliens rejected solely as
"accompanying aliens,'* or deported solely on the ground of being
" under 16 unaccompanied " may reapply for admission without se-
curing permission in advance.^

Rule 17-A. TEMPORARY RELEASE. UNDER ARRANGEMENTS FOR SELF-SUPPORTING
EMPLOYMENT, OF ALIENS EXCLUDED OR ORDERED DEPORTED.

Subdivision 1. General conditions. — {a) Aliens whose prompt de-
portation can not be accomplished because of war or other conditions
may, upon permission secured from the department, be released and
permitted to accept self-supporting employment under the conditions
hereinafter stated.

(&) Such release shall be temporary only, and any alien who vio-
lates the conditions exacted shall immediately be taken into custody
and detained as an alien deportee under the outstanding excluding
decision or departmental warrant, the facts in such cases to be
promptly reported to the department.

((?) A photograph and complete personal description of the alien
shall be taken for purposes of identification. The cost of the photo-
graph will be borne by the immigration appropriation.

{d) No alien shall be released under the conditions herein pre-
scribed unless he has assurances of self-supporting employment, se-
cured through the United States Employment Service or otherwise,
as mav be found most practicable in individual cases. Immigration
officials will in proper cases facilitate the execution of application
forms and otherwise assist in arranging matters incident to the em-
ployment of the alien.

^ See snbd. 3, Rule 5, and subd. 2, Rule 6.

IMMIGRATION RULES. 65

SuBD. 2. Conditions to he observed by employer. — (a) A prospec-
tive employer shall be required, as a condition precedent to the tem-
porary admission or employment hereunder of any alien, fully to dis-
close to the immigration official having the alien m custody his plans
with reference to the employment of such alien, including the wages,
how often paid (giving dates), housing conditions, and duration oi
employment.

{b) A prospective employer shall also be required to give his writ-
ten stipulation to the following effect, viz :

(1) That he will abide by and comply with the terms of this rule.

(2) That he will pay the current rate of wages for similar labor in
the community in which the released alien is to be employed.

(3) That with respect to housing and sanitation the laws and
rules of the State in which the alien is employed will be observed.
If employed in a State that has no law on said subject, such condi-
tions must be satisfactory to the Secretary of Labor.

(4) That he will keep the immigration officer in charge of the case
advised promptly of any change made in his plans as originally dis-
closed, with respect to the place, duration, or character of the em-
ployment of the alien by him, and wages and times of payment
thereof.

(5) That he will notify such officer immediately upon learning that
the alien released to him has left his employ (without his previous
knowledge of the alien's intent to do so) and will furnish all possible
information to assist immigration officers in ascertaining whether or
not the conditions of this rule are being observed.

(6) That he will retain from the released alien's wages the^ sums
named in subdivision 3 hereof and transmit same for deposit in the
Postal Savings Bank in the maimer therein specified.

SuBD. 3. Withholding portion of wages and mdkvng reports. — ^As
additional means of insuring that an alien released under the pro-
visions of this rule will be produced for deportation when called for,
the following conditions shall be observed :

{a) Each such alien shall, prior to release for the purpose of ac-
cepting employment, apply for permission to open an account in
the Postal Savings Bank at the place indicated by the immigration
officer in charge of the case ; deposits to such alien's credit will later
be made in this account after the manner herein provided.

(&) The employer shall withhold from the alien's wages twenty-
five (25) per centum of the amount earned, avoiding odd amounts
by withholding the nearest sum to 25 per centum in multiples of 25
cents ; for example, if the wages are $2.75 per day, the amount with-
held will be 75 cents per day. If the alien changes his employer in
accordance with the provisions of this rule, each subsequent employer
shall continue withholding 25 per centum of the wages earned.

{c) On each pay day the employer shall transmit to the immigra-
tion officer in charge of the case the money withheld from the alien's
wages in pursuance of the preceding paragraph. Postal money
orders payable to such officer, purchased at the cost of the alien, shall
be used in making these remittances. Such officer shall indorse said
money order to the local postmaster and deposit the money with the
local Postal Savings Bank to the credit of the alien from whose
wages the sum represented has been withheld, retaining in his pos-

session the receipt for such deposit. The funds so deposited will re-
main in the Postal Savings Bank until the alien leaves the United
States, whereupon such officer shall arrange for delivery to the alien
of the money so saved, plus the interest, if any, accrued thereon ; but
partial withdrawals may be permitted under the terms of the next
succeeding paragraph.

(d) If an alien released under the terms of this rule becomes
ill, out of employment, or otherwise needy through force of circum-
stances (such as illness of his accompanying family), he may apply
to the immigration officer in charge of the case for permission to
withdraw and use a part of the accumulated fund which may be on
deposit in the Postal Savings Bank to his credit; and such applica-
tion may, after due investigation, be granted by allowing with-
drawal in installments up to not exceedmg one-half of the sum on
deposit, or more upon special permission of the department; the
accumulation to be recommenced as before as soon as the alien re-
sumes employment.

(e) If the work for which the alien is employed has been com-
pleted and no other employment is open to him, the officer in charge
of the case shall be notified by the alien and the latter shall be re-
turned to custody, the cost of his own travel in so doing to be paid
from the funds on deposit to his credit under the terms of this rule.
If other employment is open to him, the alien shall so notify the im-
migration officer, giving full particulars as to the prospective em-
ployment proposed.

Sub. 4. Change of employers. — ^An alien released under the terms
of this rule who changes employers shall be subject to be taken into
custody on the outstanding decision or departmental warrant, in the
event that he fails to report any change of employment or that any
subsequent employer fails or neglects to comply with the require-
ments of this rule as to withholding and depositing 25 per cent of
the wages earned by the alien. Any default shall oe promptly re-
ported to the department by the officer in charge of the case, details
to be furnished for the completion of the records.

Sub. 5. Release contingent upon good ieluwior. — ^Any release
granted under the terms of this rule may be terminated if the alien
so released has misbehaved or has failed to obey the laws of the
United States and of the State or community in which such alien
may be employed.

Sub. 6. AppUcaiion of rule to existing cases. — ^Upon permission of
the department, the provisions hereof may be applied to cases of
aliens who have heretofore been released upon personal recognizance
or parole, and to other cases in the discretion of the department.
Su(5i permission may be granted where it is shown that the ends of
good administration will be served or other desirable results obtained
by making a change in the conditions of release, but the department
may, in its discretion, impose other conditions in addition to those
provided in this rule, should the circumstances of a particular case
so require.

Rale 18. MEDICAL OFFICERS.

Medical officers detailed for any duty under the immigration law
shall, in matters of administration, be under the direction of the im-
migration officer in charge at the p ort to which they may be detailed.^

*See sec. 16.

IMMIGRATION BTJLES. 67

In considering and determining medical questions such officers are to
be guided by the instructions issued by the Surgeon General of the
Public Health Service.

Rale 19. HOSPITAL TREATMENT.

Subdivision 1, Staying deportation of wives and children of n/it-
uralized citizens and permanently resident aliens. — ^When an alien
certified upon arrival to be afflicted with tuberculosis in any form or
a loathsome contagious or dangerous contagious disease is f oimd to be
{a) the wife or minor child of an alien who is shown to have taken
up his permanent residence in the United States; (&) the wife of a
naturalized citizen, married to him abroad prior to his naturaliza-
tion; or {c) the minor child of a naturalized citizen, born abroad to
him prior to his naturalization, such alien shall be held imtil it is
ascertained whether the disorder will be easily curable or whether
landing can be permitted without danger to others. The law does
not direct that any other aliens so afflicted (except seamen)^ shall be
held. Deportation shall occur promptly with respect to such wives
and minor children if and when it is ascertained that the disorder is
not easily curable or that the alien can not be landed without danger
to others ; and with respect to all others if and when it is ascertained
that the alien is diseased ; unless, in behalf of either, application for
treatment is made promptly in accordance with the terms of subdi-
visions 2 and 3 hereof. To expedite the handling of cases under this
rule, examining surgeons should include, so. far as possible, in their
certificates for tuberculosis in any form or loathsome contagious or
dangerous contagious diseases a statement as to whether or not the
disorder will be easily curable and whether or not the person certified
can be permitted to land without danger to other persons.

SuBD. 2. Applications for hospital treatment. — ^Applications for
hospital treatment, whenever submitted in accordance with this rule,
shall be forwarded promptly to the bureau for presentation to the
department. Such applications may arise with respect to the cases
described in the preceding subdivision, under section 22, or in con-
nection with cases arising under section 18. The requirements with
respect to each differ, and those arising under section 22 are of two
descriptions; therefore such applications are classified as follows:

{a) Arising under section 22, those affecting the wives and minor
children of naturalized citizens; with respect to which, unless upon
investigation of the application submittea the husband or father is
satisfactorily shown to be unable to bear the expense involved in
hospital treatment, the conditions specified in subdivision 3 hereof
must be met, and in which proof oi naturalization specified in sub-
division 4 hereof must be furnished.

(J) Arising under section 22, those affecting the wives and minor
children of aliens permanently resident in the United States; with
respect to which the conditions specified in subdivisions 3 and 4 hereof
always must be met.

{c) Arising under section 18, those affecting aliens, irrespective of
any question of relationship, afflicted with tuoerculosis in any form
or a loathsome contagious or dangerous contagious disease, in which
cases it must be shown affirmatively and satisfactorily that " to refuse
treatment would be inhumane or cause unusual hardship or suffer-

ing " ; with respect to which the conditions specified in subdivision
3 hereof need not be met.

SuBD. 3. Requirements to be met in certain applications for hos-
pital treatment— Except as specified in paragrapn (a) of subdivision
2 above, no application for hospital treatment of aliens afflicted with
tuberculosis or a loathsome contagious or dangerous contagious dis-
ease, arising under section 22, will be considered unless submitted
promptly to the immigration official in charge at the port of arrival
(by him to be forwarded to the bureau), and imless in addition such
application shows that the applicant or some one on his behalf is
willing and able to deposit at once a sum sufficient to pay for treat-
ment for 60 days, or less if a shorter time is estimated as that within
which a cure possibly may be effected, and to furnish bond in a pen-
alty of not less than $300 providing that at least 15 days prior to the
expiration of said period a further deposit will be made sufficient to
cover cost of treatment for 30 days additional and a remittance of a
similar amount 15 days prior to the expiration of the period covered
by this deposit, and so on until the alien is cured and permanently
landed or the case otherwise disposed of, the bond also to provide
that a sum sufficient to defray the cost of forwarding the alien to
final destination will be furnished, when and if needed, and, in the
event the alien is a person who, from infancy or other cause, will
require an attendant to accompany him to final destination if landed,
or to the country of origin ir eventually deported, that such an at-
tendant or funds sufficient to defray cost of employing one will be
furnished. The same time shall be allowed for filing applications
for hospital treatment as is allowed for the filing of appeals.^ If on
arrival the condition of an alien is such that, in the estimation of the
inmiigration official in charge, the dictates of humanity require that
he shall be given immediate hospital treatment, such treatment shall
be accorded.

SuBD. 4. Proof of naturalization or permanent residence, — ^Nat-
uralization shall be proved by the presentation of a naturalization
certificate and identification of the presenter as the rightful holder
thereof. " Permanent residence ^ shall be understood to mean that the
alien sending for wife or child has relinquished his former foreign
domicile and actually settled in the United States— established his
permanent home here, such fact to be proved in the ordinary manner.

SuBD. 5. Report and certificate to accom/pany application. — ^The
immigration official in charge who forwards the application shall fur-
nish a transcript of the board hearing and a certificate of a Public
Health Service surgeon showing the character and extent of the
alien's affliction and estimating the duration of treatment required to
effect a cure ; and shall state whether or not the preliminary deposit
has been made, and whether or not he thinks the bond required will
be forthcoming in the event the application is granted; and shall
express his views of the case.

SuBD. 6. Action if requirements not observed, — ^If the application
is granted and there is a failure to observe the terms of the bond ex-
acted, report thereof shall be made to the bureau, to the end that the
conditions of the bond may be enforced and the alien deported. Any
balance of a deposit remaining unexpended when the alien is cured
or released shall be returned to the depositor. The cost of hospital

1 See subd. 3, Rule 17.

IMMIGRATION RULES. 69

treatment may be charged against the deposit from the time the
petition was filed.

Sued. 7. Admission to hospital not a " lamding.'*'^ — ^The treatment of
an alien under this rule shall not be conistrued to alter in any manner
the status of the alien with reference to his right to enter or remain in
the United States, nor to affect in any manner the liability of trans-
portation companies under section 9 or Rules 3 and 26. " Landing "
occurs only when the alien is admitted after a cure has been effected.

Sued. 8. Expenses in cases of passengers apparently aliens hut
really citizens, — ^If any arriving passenger apparently an alien is
placed in hospital under any provision of this rule that does not re-
quire expenses of hospital treatment to be paid by others than trans-
portation companies, and it is subsequently shown that such passen-
ger is in fact a United States citizen, the expense of treatment up to
the time satisfactory proof of citizenship is furnished shall be borne
by the transportation company or by the vessel on which such passen-
ger arrived.

Rale 20. ASSISTANCE TO ADMITTED AUENS.

Notwithstanding admission and for reasons satisfactory to the im-
migration officer in charge, any alien may remain a few" days at an
immigration station upon payment of actual expenses. If in such a
case the delay in leaving the immigration station is due to accident
or other unavoidable circumstances and the alien is without sufficient
means to defray the expenses incident thereto, the immigration officer
in charge, in his discretion, may authorize the same, reporting the
case promptly to the bureau with full reasons for his action and re-
questing that the authorization be ratified.

Rule 21. DEPORTATION OF EXCLUDED ALIENS.

Subdivision 1. Notice to alien, — In case an appeal from an ex-
cluding decision is dismissed and the decision affirmed, the alien
shall be notified as promptly as circumstances permit.

SuBD. 2. Notice to master^ etc, — ^The master, agent, consignee, or
owner of a vessel by which an excluded alien is to be deported snal!
be notified of this fact as promptly as circumstances permit ; also of
the cause of rejection ^ ana the class in which such alien arrived and
is to be deported.

SuBD. 3. Placing^ on hoard, — The immigration officer in charge may
place excluded aliens on board for deportation immediately upon
exclusion, whenever in his judgment such action is necessary. ^

SuBD. 4. Notice of sailings, — At least 24 hours' advance notice of
the time of sailing of every vessel which has brought aliens to the
United States shall be given the immigration officer in charge, in
order that he may have the opportunity to place on board aliens to
be deported by such vessel.

Rule 22. ARREST AND DEPORTATION ON WARRANT*

Subdivision 1. Classes of warrant cases. — All cases in which aliens
may be arrested and deported are either stated in detail or mentioned
in section 19. They fall into the following divisions. With respect
to each of these divisions the law is retrospective or not and the time
within which deportation proceedings may be instituted is limited or

not, as indicated below.

United States or of all forms of law or the assassination of public
officials; no limitation; retrospective.

(v) Any alien who, after naving been admitted as one exempt
from the geographical zone clause of sec. 3, fails to maintain ms
status as such ; no limitation ; not retrospective.

SuBD. 2. Investigation and report of cases. — Officers shall make
thorough investigation of all cases when they are credibly in-
formed or have reason to believe that a specified alien in the united
States is subject to arrest and deportation on warrant. All such
cases, by whomsoever discovered, shall be reported to the immigration
officer stationed nearest the place where the alien is found to be.

SuBD. 3. Application for warrant of arrest. — ^The application^
must state facts showing prima facie that the alien comes within one
or more of the classes subject to deportation after entry, and, except
in cases in which the burden of proof is upon the alien (Chinese)
involved, should be accompanied by some substantial supporting
evidence. If the facts stated are within the personal knowledge of
the inspector reporting the case, they need not be in affidavit form.
But if based upon statements of persons not sworn officers of the
Government (except in cases of public charges covered by subdivision
4 hereof), the application should be accompanied by the affidavit
of the person giving the information or by a transcript of a sworn
statement taken from that person by an inspector. In all cases
shown in subdivision 1 to be subject to a time limitation the appli-
cation must be accompanied by a certificate of landing^ (to be
obtained from the immigration officer in charge at the port where
landing occured, unless entry without inspection within such limi-
tation is confessed, or a reason given for its absence. In the ab-
sence of such certificate, effort should be made to supply the princi-
pal items of information mentioned in the blank form provided for
such certificate. Telegraphic application may be resorted to only in
case of necessity, or when some substantial interest of the Govern-

ment would be subserved thereby, and must state (a) that the usual
written application is being forwarded by mail, and (6) the sub-
stance of the facts and proof therein contained. The code supplied
by the department should be used whenever practicable.

SuBD. 4. Proof in cases of aliens who have become public changes. —
The application in such cases must be accompanied by a certificate
of the official in charge of the institution in which the alien is con-
fined, or other responsible public official if the alien is not confined,
showing that the alien is being maintained at public expense. There
should be submitted also, whenever readily available, evidence (such
as certificates from attending physicians, etc.) tending to show that
the causes for the alien's being a public charge existed prior to entry .^

SuBD. 5. Execution of warrant of arrest amd hearing thereon, —
(a) Upon receipt of a telegraphic or written warrant of arrest the
alien shall be taken before the person or persons therein named or
described and granted a hearing to enable him to show cause, if
any there be, why he should not be deported.^ Pending determina-
tion of the case, in the discretion of the immigration officer in charge,
he may be taken into custody or allowed to remain in some place
deemed by such officer secure and proper, except that in the absence
of special instructions an alien confined in an institution shall not be
removed therefrom until a warrant of deportation has been issued
and is about to be served.

(6) At the beginning of the hearing under the warrant of arrest
the alien shall be allowSi to inspect the warrant of arrest and all the
evidence on which it was issued, and shall be apprised that he may
be represented by counsel. The alien shall be required then and
there to state whether he desires counsel or waives the same, and his
reply shall be entered on the record. If counsel be selected, he shall
be permitted to be present during the conduct of the hearing, and to
offer evidence to meet any evidence presented or adduced by the Gov-
ernment. Objections and exceptions of counsel shall not be entered
on the record, but may be presented by him in accompanying brief.
If during the hearing it shall appear to the examining inspector that
there exists a reason additional to those stated in the warrant of
arrest why the alien is in the country in violation of law, the alien's
attention shall be directed to the facts which constitute such reason,
and he shall be given an opportunity to show cause why he should
not be deported therefor.

(t?) At the close of the hearing the full record shall be forwarded
to the bureau, together with any written argument submitted by
counsel and the recommendations of the examining officer and the
officer in charge, for determination as to whether or not a deporta-
tion warrant shall issue.

(rf) The record of the hearing accorded an alien who is suffering
from any physical or mental disability shall be supjjlemented by a
medical certificate showing (1) whether such alien is in condition
to be deported without danger to life; (2) whether he will require
special care and attention on the ocean voyage.

SuBD. 6. Release under bond. — ^The amount of any bond under
which an arrested alien may be released* shall be $500, unless dif-

iThe form of medical certificate (Form 534) used In enforcing the act of 1907 may be
adapted for use in this connection.

^If the alien is unable to speak or understand English, an interpreter should be em-
ployed where practicable. If the alien is physically or mentally incapable of testifying,
some relative or friend, if any, should be questioned.

ferent instructions are given by the department, which, prior to
release, shall approve the bond, except that the approval of the local
United States attorney, or the Commissioner of Immigration or the
inspector in charge of the district as to form and execution shall be
suflBcient to warrant the release of such alien pending approval of
the bail bond by the Secretary of Labor. United States bonds maj
be accepted in lieu of sureties on bail bond, or sureties may deposit
United States bonds instead of justifying in real estate. Aliens who
are unable to give bail shall be held in jail only in case no other
secure place of detention can be found.

SuBD. 7. WarvaTvt for deportation and deportation thereon. — Upon
receipt of the departoaent's decision, or as soon thereafter as the cir-
cumstances of the case may require, the alien shall be taken into the
custody of the immigration officials (if this has not occurred already)
for deportation.^ Thereafter he shall be deported, previous notice of
deportation having been given the steamship company concerned,
together with a brief description of the alien and any other appro-
priate data, including the cause of deportation, physical and mental
condition, and destination.^

SuBD. 8. Cost of mamtenaffice perMag deportation on warrant. —
{a) The cost of maintaining aliens during these proceedings may be
borne by the Government, but as to aliens who have become public
charges from causes existing prior to landing, such cost will not be
allowed unless or imtil an appropriation becomes available for that
purpose.

{h) If proceedings against a procurer or contractor are instituted
withm 5 years after the entry oi the alien (sees. 4, 5, and 20), immi-
gration officers shall report to the United States district attorney
the amount of the cost of deporting the alien, including one-half of
the entire cost of removal to the port of deportation, so that a proper
effort may be made to recover such expense from the procurer or
importer and the reimbursement of the Government and the trans-
portation company for their respective parts thereof.

((?) If, after the Government has completed its investigation, re-
quest is made by or on behalf of an arrested alien for an extension
of time that seems unusual or unreasonable and any expenses will
arise from granting such request, the deposit in advance of a sum
sufficient to cover such expenses shall be required as a condition pre-
cedent to the granting of such request.

SuBD. 9. Pla^^e of deportation. — ^The deportation warrant shall
specify the place to whicn the alien covered thereby will be deported
in accordance with section 20. " Foreign port " as used in said sec-
tion includes ports of the insular possessions of the United States.

SuBD. 10. Women and girU^ special procedure concemvng treat-
ment and care of. — {a) When it is necessary to detain or hold ar-
rested women and girls they shall not be incarcerated by immigration
officials in jails or other similar places unless such incarceration is
absolutely unavoidable ; but if there is not attached to the immigra-
tion station or quarters a room suitable for such purpose, and if such
aliens are not already being held in some proper institution, arrange-

1 If an attendant (or matron) Is required to assist in conveying alien from an inland
point to the seaport of deportation, special request for authorization therefor should
accompany the record of hearing. Such attendants are allowed a nominal compensation
of $1 and traveling expenses both wavs. This rate must not be exceeded unless extraor-
dinary conditions, fully reported, result in authorization of a different compensation.

3 For special provisions in the cases of insane and diseased aliens requiring special care
and attention, see Rule 23.

74 IMMIGKATION BULBS.

ments shall be made for their detention by some philanthropic or
other similar society, preferably under the control of organizations
or persons of the same nationality and religion as the detamed aliens.
(6) To the fullest extent practicable there shall be designated at
each immigration station or substation a female employee whose par-
ticular duty shall be to care for arrested women and girls if such
aliens are detained in the immigration station or quarters, and
to see that they are properly cared for if detained elsewhere. For
convenience, such employees shall be called "special officers." In
furtherance of this provision the said special officer shall keep in
touch and cooperate with such philanthropic and similar societies as
assist the immigration officials in the handling of these casea

(c) In every such case in which it is found absolutely necessary
to incarcerate the alien in a jail or other similar place a report of
the action and of the reasons therefor shall be submitted promptly
to the bureau.

(d) In every instance in which it is necessary to commit a woman
or girl to the custody of a society for more tnan a brief period of
time the society shall be requested to submit weekly reports regard-
ing the condition and behavior of the detained alien ; and whenever
facts or circumstances to justify so doing are developed a report
thereof sjiall be forwarded to the bureau.

(e) If in any case the ends of proper and humane administration
seem so to require, the special officer shall conduct an investigation
or submit a report, or both, independently of the investigation and
report of the inspector conducting the hearing under the warrant of
arrest; all under and through the officer in charge of the station or
district.

(/) It being the purpose of this special procedure to humanize the
admmistration of the law, it is important that the cases of women
and girls shall be handled in a particulaiiy considerate and careful
manner, not only while the aliens are being detained in this country
but^ in the event of deportation, after they arrive in the country of
their nativity or at the port where they originally embarked for the
United States. In furtherance of their proper treatment abroad ar-
rangements have been made (in addition to those for some time ex-
isting by virtue and in pursuance of the White-Slave Traffic Inter-
national Agreement and of section 6 of the act of June 25, 1910, for
correspondence bv the Commissioner General of Immigration with
representatives oi the respective foreign Governments, parties to said
agreement) for advising certain women's organizations in Europe
and elsewhere with respect to the facts and circumstances of all* cases
in which it is deemed that advices should be sent abroad to insure
that upon disembarkation at the foreign port women and girls will be
at least in a position where responsible and charitably disposed per-
sons will have knowledge of them and be able, wherever possible, to
extend assistance. Thus, to the fullest extent practicable, in cases
in which deportation is effected on grounds of immorality, it will
be insured that deportation will not result in affording means for the
further degradation of the alien, but rather in placing her in the
way of opportunities for reformation. All correspondence with rep-
resentatives of foreign countries and representatives of foreign
women's societies shall be conducted by the bureau at Washington.
Special officers assigned to duty under paragraph (&) hereof shall

IMMIGBATION BULBS* 75

advise the bureau fully in each case in which they believe corre-
spondence of the nature herein designated should be conducted. Such
reports shall be in triplicate so that the bureau, whenever it deems
that course proper, may forward copies thereof to the Government
and society representatives abroad prior to or simultaneously with
the deportation of the alien. At stations where it is impracticable
to designate a special officer for this duty such reports shall be
furnished by the officer in charge.

SuBD. 11. Deportation hy conaeTit^ — ^Any alien who is a lawful
resident of the United States and who has become a public charge
from physical disability arising subsequent to landing may be de-
ported, with his consent and the approval of the bureau, within three
years from date of landing, at Government expense, provided he is
delivered to the immigration officers at a designated port free of
charge. If the alien's deportation is directed, the charges incurred
for his care and treatment in any public or charitable institution
from the date of notificatirai to an immigration official until the ex-
piration of one year after landing may be paid by the bureau at such
rates as it shall accept as reasonable.

Bide 23. DEPOBTATION OF INSANE AND DISEASED ALIENS BEQUIBING SPECIAL

CARE AND ATTENTION.

Subdivision 1. When to he provided. — ^When the immigration au-
thorities find that an alien about to be deported (whether after
rejection by a board or on department warrant) requires special care
and attention, the steamship company concerned must provide such
care and attention as his condition calls for, not only during the
ocean voyage but also as hereinafter provided during the foreign
inland journey.

SuBD. 2. Special papers. — The alien shall be delivered to the mas-
ter or first or second officer of the vessel by which deportation is to
occur, who shall be given the appropriate form,^ and a duplicate
carbon of sheet "A" thereof. The receipt and sheet "A" shall be
filled out (except as to signature) by an immigration officer. The
receipt attached to sheet "A" shall be signed by the ship's officer to
whom the alien has been delivered and returned forthwith to the
immigration officer making delivery. Sheets " B " and " C " shall be
retained by the ship's officer and in due course filled out by the agents
or persons therein designated and by them returned by mail as therein
provided.

SuBD. 3. Forwarding alien frorw foreign port to destination. —
From the foreign port of debarkation the steamship company must
forward the alien to destination in charge of a proper custodian (all
expenses to be borne by such company), except only in cases where
foreign public officials decline to allow such custodian to proceed
and themselves take charge of the alien, which fact must be shown
by signing the form provided in the lower half of sheet " C." If the
foreign public officials do not take charge at the port of debarkation,
but at an interior frontier, both forms on sheet " C " must be filled

tion occurs pursuant to warrant, and local correspondence file number If it occurs pur-
suant to rejection by a board.

out, the former in relation to the inland journey as far as such
frontier.^

SuBD. 4. When Secretary will em/ploy aitendanta. — ^Whenever,
without excuse satisfactory to the immigration officer in charge at
the port of embarkation, a steamship company has failed for a period
of 90 days after departure of an alien requiring special care and
attention under this rule to comply with any of the terms thereof,
including cases in which it has failed to return sheets " B " and " C "
properly filled out, such immigration officer shall report this fact
forthwith to the bureau, and thereafter the Secreary oi Labor, with-
out further notice and during such period as he shall determine, will
exercise his right (sec. 20) to employ suitable persons to accompany
to their final destination aliens deported on a vessel of such steam-
ship company requiring special care and attention. Instructions as
to compensation of such attendants, their mode of travel, their right
of access to the alien during the ocean voyage, and other necessary
matters will be given in each case as it arises.

Ride 24. SUBP(ENAING WITNESSES.

Subdivision 1. When power shall he exercised, — ^The provision of
section 16 authorizing commissioners of immigration and inspectors
in charge to subpoena witnesses and require the production of books,
papers, and documents is intended to aid, not to impede, the immi-
gration officers in the performance of their duties. The power to
issue subpoenas will be exercised, therefore, only when ahsolutely
necessary. Whenever an inspjector conducting an investigation or a
board of special inquiry holding a hearing is of opinion that a cer-
tain witness whose testimony is deemed essential to a proper decision
of the case will not appear and testify or produce boots, papers, and
documents unless commanded to do so, such inspector or the chairman
of such board shall request the commissioner or inspector in charge
to issue a subpoena and have it served upon such witness. If an alien
or his authorized representative requests that a witness be subpoenaed,
he shall be required, as conditions precedent to the granting of the
request, to state in writing what he expects to prove by such witness
or the books, papers, and documents indicated by him and to show
affirmatively that the proposed evidence is relevant and material and
that he has made dilligent efforts without success to produce the
same. The examination of the witness or of the books, papers, and
documents produced by him shall be limited to the purpose specified
in the written assignment of the alien or his authorized representa-
tive. But when a witness has been examined by the investigating
officer and counsel has not had an opportunity to cross-examine such
witness and it is apparent or is shown that such witness will not ap-
pear for cross-examination unless commanded to do so, a subpoena
shall issue.

SuBD. 2 How power exercised. — ^Upon determining that a witness
whose evidence is desired either by the Government or the alien will
not be likely to appear and testify, or produce written evidence
imless commanded to do so, the commissioner or inspector in charge
shall issue a subpoena and have it served upon the witness by an

iWhen foreign public officials have taken charge at the port of debarkation it will be
unnecessary to fill out any portion of the form on the upper naif of sheet " C."

IMMIGRATION BULES. 77

immigration officer or employee, in conformity with this rule, due
record of such service to be made. ^ If the witness neglects or refuses
to respond to the subpoena, the United States attorney of the proper
district shall be requested so to report to the appropriate district
court, with a motion that an order be issued requiring the witness
to appear or to produce written evidence, as contemplated by section
16, or for action as therein specified in the event of continued neglect
or refusal.

SuBD. 3. Expenses of witnesses, — ^The law does not provide for
the payment of fees by the Government in these cases, if a witness
subpoenaed at the request of the alien or his representative demands
that he be recompen^ for time lost from his employment, arrange-
ments therefor must be made by the alien or his representative as a
condition precedent to the issuance of the subpoena. If the witness
is subpoenaed at the request of an inspector or the chairman of a
board, recompense can not be allowed.

Sued. 4. Reports. — Commissioners or inspectors in charge shall
submit promptly to the bureau a report of each subpoena issued
under the terms of this rule.

Bole 25. HOLDING AS WCTNESSES ALIENS OBDERED DEPOBTED.

Subdivision 1. Whencav/se for deportation existed prior to entry, —
It is provided by section 18 that the department may stay the deporta-
tion " of any aliens found to have come in violation of any provision "
of the immigration act when the testimony of such aliens is necessary
on behalf or the United States in the prosecution of offenders against
the immigration act or any other law of the United States, and that
the cost of maintenance and a witness fee in the sum of $1 per day
may be paid by the department in each such case, or the alien witness
may be released under bond of not less than $500 conditioned for his
production when required as a witness or for deportation. Therefore
the alien to be detained must have come to the United States in viola-
tion of the immigration act, and his deportation must have been
stayed by the department, before detention charges and witness fees,
or release under bond, can be authorized ; and such authorization can
be given only in cases in which at least one cause for the proposed
deportation of the alien arose prior to entry. Such cases should be
reported promptly to the bureau, with a statement of all facts and
circumstances material to decision of the question whether the au-
thorization desired shall be granted. Vouchers for witness fees
should be stated in favor of each witness ^ and submitted at the close
of each month or, if detention is for less than one month, at the con-
clusion of such detention. Maintenance charges will be vouchered
in the regular way applicable to such bills.

SuBD. 2. When cause for defortation has arisen subsequent to
entry, — Cases in which there exists no cause for deportation arising
prior to entry (for exam^le^ cases in which aliens have become mem-
bers of the immoral or criminal classes after landing) are not within
the purview of the provision of section 18. In such cases, therefore,
when it becomes necessarjr to hold an alien as a witness, arrangements
therefor must be made with the appropriate United States attorney.
The issuance of warrants of deportation in these classes of cases will

1 Form 574.

78 IMMIGRATION RULES.

be withheld pending the termination of judicial proceedings, so that
the witnesses may be bound over and detention expenses and witness
fees paid by the Department of Justice.

Role 26. DETENTION EXPENSES.

Subdivision 1. Responsibility of transportation companies. — ^The
owners, masters, agents, and consignees of vessels bringing aliens
shall pay all expenses incident to or involved in their removal from
the vessel or their detention as mentioned in rule 3 hereof (excepting
only in cases in which it is otherwise provided by section 18, or in
which detention occurs under the terms of section 22), irrespective
of whether the aliens removed or detained are subsequently admitted
or deported ; such expenses to include those of maintenance, medical
treatment in hospital or elsewhere, burial in the event of death, and
transfer to the vessel in the event of deportation ; also all expenses
of hospital treatment where granted under section 18 and subdivi-
sion 2 ((?) of Rule 19. When aliens are fed under an exclusive
privilege (sec. 26), the expenses of maintenance generally shall be
deemed the charges at which the privilege holder agrees to furnish
them food. At ports where the Immigration Service maintains hos-
pitals the hospital expenses shall be such as are fixed by the depart-
ment, and at other hospitals they shall be such as are fiixed by the
authorities thereof.

Sued. 2. Accompanying aliens. — ^If in the judgment of the officer
in charge, based upon the expressed opinion of a surgeon, it is neces-
sary for the proper care or an alien removed to hospital or as a
measure of humanity to place with him there an attendant or accora-

Eanying alien, the cost of the latter's detention in hospital must be
ome in the same manner as is the cost of treating the disabled alien.
SuBD. 3. Securing paym^rvt, — ^Immigration officers are under no
obligation to order the removal of aliens from a vessel for inspection
or hospital treatment until the steamship companies have obligated
themselves in a manner satisfactory to such officers for the payment
of the expenses hereinbefore referred to, and at their option they
may require payment in advance, or security, for each and every
one thereof ; and for failure on the part of a steamship company at
any time during the course of detention to pay such expenses, the
aliens may be returned to the vessel.^

SuBD. 4. Expenses for which transportation companies not respon-
sible. — Detention expenses shall be borne by the Government in cases
of (a) aliens held as witnesses under section 18, (b) insane aliens
whose health or safety would be unduly imperiled by immediate
deportation (sec. 18), and (c) in cases in which the wives and minor
children of naturalized citizens are accorded treatment under section
22 and subdivisions 1 and 2 of Rule 19, when it is satisfactorily shown
that the husband or father is unable to pay such expenses. They
shall be borne by the husband or father oi the alien, when he is able
to pay them, in cases in which treatment of a wife or minor child is
authorized under said section and rule ; and always by the husband
or father when he is merely a permanent resident, not a naturalized
citizen, of the United StateSj whose wife or child is allowed treatment
under section 22 and subdivision 2 of Rule 19. Preferably they shall

1 See sees. 11 and 15.

IMMIGRATION BULES. 79

be paid by the alien, but may be paid from the immigration appro-
priation under special authority, (a) where it is necessary to hold the
alien after adndasion in accordance with Rule 20^ and (6) in the cases
of wives and minor children of naturalized citizens accorded treat-
ment under section 22 and subdivisions 1 and 2 of Rule 19.

Stjbd. 5. Expense of returning aliens to vessels. — ^The expense of
returning rejected aliens to vessels for deportation is a part of the
expense of the return of such aliens to the country whence they came.

SuBD. 6. Presentation of bills, — Bills pertaining to any of the ex-
penses in this rule mentioned shall be presented to the steamship com-
panics responsible, monthly or oftener at the option of the officer in
charge, and, if not promptly paid, action shall be taken immediately,
as prescribed by Rule 28.

BnU 27. ALIEN CONTRACT LABORERS.

Subdivision 1. Who a/re. — Contract laborers are aliens " who have
been induced, assisted, encouraged, or solicited to migrate to this
country by offers or promises of employment, whether such offers or

country of any kind, skilled or unskilled," or "persons who have
come m consequence of advertisements for laborers printed, pub-
lished, or distributed in a foreign country " (sec. 3).

{j) Otherwise admissible skilled labor, if labor of like kind un-
employed can not be found in this country and the Secretary has
granted permission in advance of the migration of such skilled la-
borers for their importation (sees. 3 and 5).

{k) Exhibitors and employees of fairs and expositions authorized
by Congress.

SuBD. 3. Advance applications for privilege of importing skilled
labor. — Applications lor permission to import otherwise admissible
skilled labor in accordance with sections 3 and 5 and paragraph {j)

or corporation seeking such privilege to the immigration official in
charge of the district within which it is proposed to employ such
skilled labor. The application shall be in the form of an affidavit.

drawn in triplicate, and shall state clearly all facts and circumstances
material to the case, including (a) the number and sex of the persons
whom the applicant desires to import, (&) a nontechnical description
of the work which it is intended they shall perform, (c) whether the
industrjT^ is already established or is new in uie United States, (d) the
approximate length of time required for one to become skilled in
the trade, (e) the wages paid and hours of labor required, (/)

ality and last permanent foreign residence of the aliens whom he
desires to import, and the name of the port at which and of the vessel
by which they will arrive, and the date of the proposed arrival.

SuBD. 4. Investigation of application. — ^Thereupon the immigra-
tion official in charge shall conduct a thorough investigation (using
contract-labor inspectors employed in pursuance of section 24 when-
ever practicable) and shall forward two copies each of the applica-
tion^ of the accompanying affidavits, and of the report of the investi-
gation, respectively, together with his recommendation, to the bureau.
The entire record will then be summarized by the bureau and sub-
mitted to the department with appropriate recommendation. Coun-
sel may be employed in connection with such cases before the office of
the immigration official in charge or the bureau, or both^ but all evi-
dence shall be submitted to and investigated by the immigration
official in charge.

SuBD. 5. Decision upon application. — ^When a decision is rendered
bv the Secretary upon the application the immigration official in
charge shall be notified immediately, and he in turn shall notify the
applicant of the purport of such decision. If it is favorable, a copy
of the record will be transmitted to the port at which it is proposed
the alien contract laborers shall enter, with instructions to the immi-
gration official there in charge to admit such laborers if upon arrival
and examination they are found to be admissible under all other pro-
visions of the law.

SuBD. 6. Admission of ''student laborers. ^^ — ^In pursuance of the
provision of section 3 authorizing the bureau and the department to
prescribe conditions " to control and regulate the admission and re-
turn of otherwise inadmissible aliens applying for temporary admis-
sion," employers of skilled labor desirous of training aliens in their
establishments may be granted such privilege by the department,
provided the prospective " student laborers " are admissible in every
other respect except that they migrate under contract, and provided
a bond is furnished for each such alien in the penalty of not less than
$500, guaranteeing that the alien will be employed in no other than a
student capacity while within the United States and will leave this
country immediately upon the conclusion of his course of training.
Applications for this privilege and proof in support thereof should

be submitted in substantial accordance with the provisions of subdi-
vision 5 hereof.

SuBD, 7. Exhibitors and their employ eea. — Exhibitors and holders

Such aliens, unlike others exempted from the contract-labor provi-
sions, are also exempted from the illiteracy test.
