from the Canadians.
More than thirty shots struck the YES

Brother of Nine. Humbert Sent Back
to France Because He Is a Convict.
New York, Sept. IS. Romaine D'Au-
rignac, brother Of Nine. Thresa Hum
bert, now serving Il sentence in France
on swindlng charges in connection
with the Crawford estate, was ordered
depOrted today by the Board of In
quiry of the Immigration Department,
after hearing on Ellis Island. D'Au-
rignac arrived in New York Saturday
on a French line steamer, and in an In
terview said he came to this country
partly for the purpose of observation
and travel. The law under which
D'Aurignac was ordered sent back TO
France today forbidS the entry into the
United States of man who has served
a sentence in prison for other than II
political oifense. D'Aurignac was col,-
victed in France of irregular practices
in connection with insurance deals.
He claimed today, however that his
oifenSe was of political nature, and
said:
II was charged with being an access
sorry to the forming of an unlawful cor
poration, and was tried and sentenced
to two years and half for that otfense.
My conviction was due entirely to the
influence of my political enemies. My
grandfather and his father before him
were both French Senators, and it was
through their enemies that | was con-
victed. | had no idea that my serving
term in French prison would bar me
from landing in your country"
D'Aurignac was taken from the ship
La Touraine today on the barge Whicl
carries the Storage passengers to Ellis
Island. At Ellis Island, in answer to
questions, he gave his pedigree and
made no attempt to conceal the fact
that he was an cX-conyict.
When, after the brief hearing, the
chairman CURLY remarked; Ordered
deported," D'Auriguac shrugged his
shoulders and said:
