New Yorker is Deported.

Although Josef Witous had lived in New
York city for nearly five years, owned his
own house, and had taken out his first cti-
zenship papers, he is barred from the coun-
try alien. His absence for six months
on a European trip has barred him from
living in New York again. The marine hos
pital doctors have pronounced him insane
and under the law insane aliens cannot
land.
Witous lived with his wife and married
daughter in that city. He is an Austrian
Bohemian, and has been a teacher at the
parochial school attached to ST. Johns
Church. He is highly educated and is said
to be Of noble birth. His wife, who is said
to be wealthy, bought the house they live
in. He went to Bohemia to settle up an
estate, and returned to New York March ~
This finding of the immigration officials
comes as a surprise to his wife. She ex-
planned that he met with an accident some
years ago that sometimes made him lit
tie peculiar. 1t is said he will be deported,
and not allowed even to visit his home.
