NEW YORK. Jan. 29. Fear that
some persons held at Ellis Island
must be released because it will be im
possible to prove they' were aliens,
was expressed at Ellis Island today
as the result of recent modifications
of Immigration regulations by the de
partment of labor. - By refusing to
tell where he was born, a man arrest
ed on a deportation warrant may be
enabled to stay In the country it is
feared. Proof of the nativity of
aliens in deportation proceedings us
ually comes from themselves and is
difficult to obtain otherwise, it was ex
plained.
Of more than 600 men and women
sent to Ellis Island, as the result of
recent raids on communists, eight
have been freed because there was no
proof that they were communists:
225, most of whom refused to answer
questions of inspectors, have been re
leased on bail and 804 are left at the
Island. In addition about CO who
have been ordered deported are on
the Island their cases not having
been completed when the Buford
sailed. These include 43 from De
troit Twenty reds are in the hospital,
mostly with colds, according to officials.

Changes, However, Mainly In Direc

NEW YORK. Jan. 2 . -Although
foreign exchange markets In London
and Paris were ajgain very much un
settled today, "such .changes as oc
curred here were mainly in the dlrec
rection of betterment. "' . ....
This was due, according to dealers
to a heavy offering or the preceding
days of the week, especially for lo
cal account. Few bankers were in'
dined to believe, however, that any'
thing' like actual readjustment of the
situation was hi sight.
The representative of a prominent
International banking bouse was au
thorlty for the statement that con'
certed action to correct existing con'
dltions Is contemplated, but the move'
ment. it was added, la not - likely to
crystallise unless bondon offers some
thing mors than "passive assistance.'
Demand bills on London rallied
from yesterday's low of 83.48 to 83.58
14 but reacted to after tne close
of the market. Francs rallied about
20 centimes and Belgian francs also
registered slight improvement but the
Italian rate hung around yesterday s
minimum of 1650 iires to the Amer
ican dollar.
Pressure against Scandinavian was
renewed during the day but In that
quarter also, final- quotations were
variably above lowest rates.

BELIEVE GOXE STREET
SHOULD BE PAVED
Valnablo Property Near the New
Street Has Recently Changed Hands
and Big Developments Promised.
' The recent action of several of
Ashevllle's progressive business men
In ; acquiring property on the west
end of Patton avenue, below the post-
office, indicates that the time has
finally arrived - when the merchants
of Ashevllle realise that the shop
ping district of the city must be ex
tended. In the opinion of even the
most conservative, Ashevllle is Just
beginning to start on Its real growth
toward being a sure enough city.
Among Important things which
mean .much for the Patton avenue
section la ths matter of paving the
new highway from Patton avenue to
Southside, known as Coxe street.
With wonderful grade, with the sav
ing of a half mile In distance from
the depot to the center of the city,
to say nothing of the relief to the
congestion in the other streets now
used in going to and from the depot,
this Improvement means more than a
great many people realise.
Her is a splendid throughfare
placed In the hands of the city, some
thing that means convenience and
economy to tho average citizen, mer
chant and even the tourist, in getting
to and from town. Instead of labor
ing up Church street or struggling up
Blltmore avenue behind a street car,
hero would-be a short cut. under
Ideal conditions, for both pedestrians
and automobiles. Another interest
ing possibility would be to Use this
new street for a parking place for
the many machines which already
find it impossible to get room In the
center of the city.
