UNCLE SAM REUNITES
COUPLE LAW PARTED

NEW YORK-Special.- were
Ludwig Homann and his wife, Eliza
beth, when he went to Ellis Island
Thursday and took her home 70 their
neat littles fat at 225 East Seventy
hrSt Street from which she had been
taken sixteen days before. The Com
missioner of Labor telegraphed from
washington, that she should be re-
leased and Uncle Sam forbore to spoil
romance.
Elizabeth Homann Is a woman OF
refinement and education, tWenty-four
years old. She was educated in a con-
vent near Berlin, and then learned
nursing and devoted her life to char
ity. She worked with Sisters of Mer-
cy, although not connected with the
order. Then she became acquainted
with Ludwig Homann. He confessed
to her that fifteen years before he had
married woman. who disappeared a
year later. He had never heard of
her since. he said.
Homann came to America from
Germany in May. 1909. After he had
obtained n position as foreman Of a
passementerie factory the young wo-
man followed. A justice in Hoboken
refused to marry them unless Homann
furnished proofs of his first wife's
death or got a divorce decree. The
two then entered into a common law
marriage.
HOmann and his wife were not sat
isfied with this arrangement. so on
September Goth they went TO Alder
man Smith and Homann made an af-
fidavit setting forth the facts. which
is now in possession of the city clerk.
Then the Alderman married them.
