Detained at Ellis Island

of the reception that awaits Mrs. Emme-
line Panhurst, militant suffragette leader,

grafton, said today:
1T is not at all certain that Mrs Pank-

investigated and If she Is found guilty
of moral turpitude she will be detained
here. If she is not found guilty of moral
turpitude, she will not detained one inch

any immigrant for there is only single
way of handling people here.
1T is most unfortunate that this is the

for such justifiable protests But nothing
can be done about 1t until Congress de-
sides that we need quarters for first-class
passengers, as well as for thrd-class pas
