Maternity is wonderful experience

Freed by His Brothers Death

Two immigrants who have been de-
tanned On Ellis island pending the sailing
of the ships that brought them here
when they were to be deported, Tuesday
gained the freedom of these shores, one
through the suicide of his brother who
had sought his release, and the other
through the force of a written plea
which he had sent to the commissioner
of immigration.
Andras Kodalcheck is an Austrian,
and reached this country in the steerage
of the teamship Aller. Upon examina-
tion it was brought out that he was a
violator of the alien contract labor law
and an order was issued to deport him.
Pending it's execution, Mihaly Kodal
check. his brother, hastened here from
Siegfried, Pa, and through a lawyer
succeeded in obtaining a stay.
Mihaly put up at the Landsman hotel
on Monday night and was instructed by
his counsel to appear on Ellis island the
next forenoon. Mr. Gottlieb was there
a long wait, the lawyer called up the no :
tel by telephone and asked that Mihaly
be awakened and sent to the island. The
reply came back: THE man Is dead"
Mihaly had been suffocated by gas
during the night. The hotel keeper said
that the man was under the influence If
liquor when he retired. The police do
not belleVe tnat the gas was turned on
accidentally, and think that Mihaly
committed suicide.
Andras was so much affected by the
news of his brothers death that Com
missioner Senper took pity on him and,
cutting short the rehearing. allowed the
man to land
Giuseppe Mintello is an italian and ar
rived here in the steerage of the steam
ship Victoria a week ago. The man is
fairly well educated, but having no
money, it was ordered that he be sent
back and instructions were given to
place him on board the Bolivia which
put to sea Tuesday. In the meantime
Mintello had written his plea and hal
written it so well that DR.. Senner was
moved to rescind his decision. The Bo-
ivia was just casting off her lines when
telephone message from Ellis islam
was received and Giuseppe was put
ashore.
