her counsel, fighting for a writ of habeas
corpus to bring her into the United States
District Court, the case OF the German ac-
tress has reached an exciting stage and
therc is some question as to who will win
out. Conditions seem to favor the lawyer
and his fair client, as there are no ships
sailing for European ports after today
until Saturday, giving Solomon thirty-six
hours in which to obtain his writ. All
steamers sailing today have long since
turned their noses toward the East.
1t had been reported that the final decree
ordering the young woman returned to her
starting point would be received early this
morning, in time to have her hurried aboard
the Hamburg liner Bluecher, which sailed
this morning, but that ship sailed without
the diamond-bedecked passenger who claims
that Miller betrayed her. However, II
solomon should obtain the much-desired
writ there will be a tug-of-war for the
possession of the girl, and it is probable
that there will be a lively legal fight to
decide whether she must return to her
native home or whether she may return to
her apartments at the Hotel Imperial and
continue her suit against the man she al
leges wronged her.
Commissioners Watchorn yesterday after
noon exiled Lawyer Solomon from Ellis
Island and refused him even the right to
consult his client, claiming that he was
guilty of conduct unbecoming an attorney

If the commissioner still refuses to per

probable that he will have considerable
difficulty in. securing her signature to thu

some other person sign the writ, setting
forth the fact that he had been refused
the right accorded him by the laws gov
erning the landing of immigrants in this
country.
Mr.. Solomon said that there was nc
doubt but that his client had been en-
ticed from her rooms at the Imperial Ho-
tel to the office .of Edward r. Volmerl
counsel for Miller, on Monday, for the
purpose of being arrested, and said that
there was little doubt in his mind but thai
Miller was responsible for her arrest, de-
spite the fact that when he demanded the
right to see the papers in the case, in
Guiding the affidavit setting forth that
Miss Klipenbourg is a person of immora
character, he had been emphatically re-
fused, contrary to the laws of the coun'
try.

before he secured the necessary signatures
to the writ. he would still fight the case
to a finish.
Miller still keeps IN the background, and
all efforts TO interview him have proved
%unavalling. 1t seems to be his desire tc
allow his first denial Of any knowledge
of the girl stand, despite circumstances
and facts. Miller was at the hearing on
