ried in the State OF Georgia, and about one year
ago returned to Lexington County 5. C., where

PROTEST AGAINST THEIR DEPORTATION
FROM NEW-YORK-A HEARING TO
BE GIVEN THEM.
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TnBrNE.I

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Washington July S-The Commissioner of I'm
migration who had ordered the immediate de-
portation of l75 young Rumanian Jews who arrived
at New-York last week, has consented to allow
them to remain until July o. in order to give them
time to furnish proof that they do not belong to
the excluded classes This action is taken the
instance of Simon Wolf, of Washington, chairman
of the Committee Civil and Religious Rights of
the Union of the American Hebrew Congregation
and A. S. Solomons. of New-York superintendent
of the Baron de Hirsch Trust Fund The case Of
these 175 political refugees appealed to the authori
ties, who. it is believed, disposed to grant them
every indulgence. They temporarily barred
out because it thought likely that they would
become a public charge, and also because they
could not prove to the officials that they not of
the prohibited category.
Their story is an unusual They came this
country in consequence of ant-Semitic persecU-
ton prevalent in Rumania, where Jews de-
prived Of citizenship and allowed to live only in
certain towns set aside for them They are also
forced to act the servants of leading Govern
ment officials and prosecuted to-day badly as
they were in Rumania thirty years ago.
FORBIDDEN TO RETURN.
These men. having provoked official dspleasure
in some way, driven out of their homes and
received passports which distinctly that they
may never return. This passport is regarded as re-
markabe by the immigration officials Now that
admission to the United States is refused them.
Wing as they 90 Ihe lnpOSSlDluly OF returning
TO Rumania most of the young men are in a de-
pressed frame of mind and several have threatened
10 commit suicide should this Government finally
exclude them. There is doubt in the mind Of
Mr.. Wolf, however that decision will be rendered
in their favor.
Mr.. Wolf says: 1T is proper TO say that these
refugees are not paupers but, on the contrary.
each of them is a mechanic tradesman, and
all are intelligent peaceful young men Their lives
heretofore have been SO miserable and they have
been caused to suffer and endure such hardships
that it is thought another disappointment such as
being denied entrance to the United States, piCt
ured them a heaven for the prosecuted, will re-
suit in a number of suicides"

sides TO produce evidence, and decide upon the mer
