Where the foreign public officials take charge not at the port of debarkation, but at an interior frontier, both forms on sheet "C" must be filled in, the former in relation to the inland journey as far as such frontier.

(e) Whenever, without excuse satisfactory to the commissioner or inspector in charge of immigration at the port of embarkation, a steamship company has failed, for a period of sixty days after departure of an alien requiring special care and attention under this rule, to comply with any of the terms thereof, including failure to return sheets "B" and "C" properly filled out, such commissioner or inspector in charge shall forthwith report this fact to the Commissioner-General of Immigration, and thereafter the Secretary of Commerce and Labor will, without further notice and during such period as he shall determine, exercise his right under section 21 to employ suitable persons to accompany to their final destinations aliens deported on a vessel of such steamship 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.

Rule 38. Deportation, where to.- The deportation of aliens as prescribed in Rules 30 to 36 hereof shall be to the foreign transAtlantic or trans-Pacific port from which such aliens embarked for the United States; or, if such embarkation was for foreign contiguous territory, to the foreign port at which they embarked for such contiguous territory. (Section 35.)

Rule 39. Deportation by consent.-Any alien who has been lawfully landed, but who has become a public charge from subsequently arising physical inability to earn a living, may, by consent of the alien and with the approval of the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization, be deported within one year from date of landing at the expense of the immigration fund: Provided, That such alien is delivered to the immigration officers at a designated port free of charge; and the charges incurred for the care and treatment of any such alien in any public or charitable institution from the date of notification to an officer of the Bureau until the expiration of one year after landing may be paid from the immigrant fund at fixed rates agreed upon.

RULES RELATING TO TRANSIT.

Rule 40. Alien in transit. 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, 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 Secretary for a special ruling.

Rule 41. Aliens in transit, head tax for.- (a) No alien desiring admission at a port of the United States for the professed purpose of proceeding directly therefrom to foreign territory shall be permitted to land thereat except after deposit with the collector of customs at said port, by the master or owner of the vessel or by a representative of any other mode of transportation by which such alien is brought, of the amount of the head tax (four dollars) prescribed by section 1 of the Immigration Act, said amount to be refunded upon proof satisfactory to the immigration officer in charge at the port of arrival that said alien has passed by direct and continuous journey through and out of the United States within thirty days from the date of admission, proof of such departure to be furnished within sixty days from the date of admission. Special deposits of head tax on account of aliens in transit will, at the expiration of sixty days from the date of admission, be covered into the Treasury as head tax, the cases in which proof of departure is received after the expiration of such period to be reported to the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization for special authorization, under the provision incorporated in the legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation act approved February 3, 1905.

(b) All aliens of the taxable class desiring to proceed in transit through the United States from the Dominion of Canada shall be required to furnish to the examining officer or officers guaranty of payment of head tax described in paragraph (k) of Rule 25 of these regulations. If admissible, aliens claiming to be in transit will be given certificate Form 523, providing for refund of head tax upon such certificate being properly indorsed by the alien and

by the purser of the outgoing trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific steamship upon which the holder of said certificate may depart from the United States; or, if the alien be passing in transit through the United States from one point in Canada to another point in Canada, then such indorsement to be made by the conductor of the train upon which the holder of the certificate departs from the . United States.

(c) Refund of head tax will be made on aliens of the taxable class, arriving at Atlantic or Pacific ports of Canada and desiring to proceed immediately in transit through the United States, to the transportation line responsible for payment of head tax on such aliens, upon proof satisfactory to the United States commissioner of immigration for Canada that said aliens have passed by direct and continuous journey through and out of the United States within the time limit specified in this rule.

(d) Even though an alien, being a "transit passenger," enters and leaves the United States at the same port the provisions of this rule shall be applied to his case to the same extent, and in the same manner so far as necessary, as though such alien entered at one port and departed through another. In the cases of those entering across the Canadian border as transient visitors, however, Form No. 569 will be used instead of Form No. 523, under the procedure laid down in paragraph (b) hereof.

(e) A class of "transit passengers" which requires somewhat different treatment in practice than "transit" as ordinarily understood and "transient visitors," whose cases are covered by the preceding paragraphs hereof, consists of aliens visiting the United States as tourists, on pleasure or business. With regard to such class, no payment or deposit of head tax need be required, if the immigration officers at the port of entry are satisfied that it is the bona fide intent of the passenger merely to visit or tour the United States. For instance, when an alien is in possession of first-class round trip or through transportation, or other circumstances are present, indicating with reasonable certainty that the passenger is a tourist, deposit should not be required; if doubt exists, he should be classed as a "transit" or "transient visitor."
