Senator Hoar was busy but business could
wait; this case could not. Laying aside some
matters in hand, he yielded himself to the
sympathetic promptings of his heart and
worked for those children and grief stricken
parents He first communicated with the i'm
migration authorities in New-York- The reply
was that the law explicit, that the hos

the children must go home on Thursday Next
Senator Hoar telegraphed TO the officials in
Washington. In reply he received information
to the effect that nothing could be done for
The children. and they must return home. His
next step was to communicate the facts to his
colleague from Massachusetts, Senator Lodge
Although this was in the Christmas holidays of
last winter, Senator Lodge CHANGED to be IN

Senator Hoar, Senator Lodge went personally
before the Washington officials In behalf of
the children. but his appeals went UNDECIDED
He was told, Senator Hoar had been, that
the law was plain in such cases. and that the
children must go home.
On the Tuesday before the Thursday fixed for
the sailing of the ship bearing the children, Sen

news of his failure. That evening Senator Hoar
