HOLD MORMON CONVERTS.
Immigration Authorities Prevent Them
from Going to Utah.

Boston, Aug. 25-Fifty-four Mormon
converts mostly girls, are detained by
the immigration authorities here and
yesterday special board OF inquiry,
headed by Deputy Commissioner j. j.
Hurley. was Investigating their cases.
II tho evidence warrants they will be
debarred from landing and going TO the
Mormon colonies In Utah and Idaho on
one of three grounds: That they are as
sisted immigrants. which Is contrary TO
law: that they believe In polygamy,
which makes them undesirable citizens,
or that they are liable to become public
charges. which Is very broad restric-
tion.
One OF the strong bits Of evidence Is tho
fact that the Mormon elders have trans
portation contracts with railroads and
steamship lines and that the converts
are passengers under this agreement. But
the Mormon elders declare grimly that
| they will appeal the case to Washington
| II an adverse decision Is rendered by
the board. and the elders are confident
| of winning.
Early to-day the board began the
primary examination of ten pretty
| Dutch girls All OF the others were
| examined -sterday. All OF the fifty-four
are Dutch, German. Scandinavian or
English except one family. There are
forty girls. all attractive. They will not

are not going West to become plural
