FAMILY OF TWELVE ARRIVE
Bound from Friesland for Iowa, They
Are Almost Excluded.

4 family that would have glsddened the
hoart Of ex-Prcsident Roosevelt arrived in
this country on the HoIand-America liner
Noordam Yesterday morning and came near
being shipped back to Frtesland by unap-
nreciative immigration officials who could
not see the value of such brood. There
were a round dozen of them. including the
father and mother. and their surname was
Blevemberg. The father gave his front
name as Aart.
As told on Ellis Island, where the Biey-
ombergs languished for the better part OF
the day in despair at the idea OF returning
across the sea- the story OF the family was
like this: They had heard from rich
uncle living at Hull, Iowa. OF the wonders
Of that country, and, converting everything
they possessed into cash. they purchased
steamship and other tickets that would
carry them to Sioux Centre, Iowa. The
nrinted slips cost them $500. They had just
$40 left when they arrived here. The fmmi-
Grafton authorities were in doubt as TO ad-
mittins the family TO the counry until the
fact about the rich uncle came out. Then
the Bleyembergs were hustled aboard
train for the West
Two hundred other Dutch families were
aboard the Noordam, mostly from Fries
land and mostly bound for Iowa.
