every attention and consideration from
the immigration authorities at Ellis
Island"
Mr.. Caminetti said his desire was
mot to be rushed into decision Of a
case nationally and internationally
important" but that he would do all
in his power to facilitate its deter

by the immigration officials and they
succeeded practically in clearing the
decks" for positive action tomorrow

The question OF whether Mrs. Pank
hurst should be admitted or deported
was a subject OF absorbing interest
to many in government circles.
II became known tonight that a
great many high officials favored ad-
hitting her. not because OF any sym
pathy for the Individual or her cause.
but on the ground that the principle
of free speech should be maintained.
The attorneys for Mrs. Pankhurst
directed their efforts chiefly toward
obtaining her temporary release from
custody at Ellis Island, pending con-
sideration Of the case, in order that
she might fulfil lecture contracts.
They contended that not only Mrs.
Pankhurst's personal rights were be-
ing invaded by her detention longer
than was absolutely necessary, but that
important and substantial property
rights Of the alien and Of citizens Of
this country we're being placed In
jeopardy

ceedings before the board Of special in

Island were secret. To what she
termed this star chamber proceeding"
Mrs. Pankhurst had objected.
She also protested because she was not
allowed TO be represented at the hearing

by the special board OF "a certain docu-
ment," TO Which she "as hoi gwen ao

"A defiant deed speaks louder than a

There are so many things in Eng

husbands and fathers. Some of the
frightful laws in England have TO do
with the custody Of children. Finally,
a mother fearing she would be de-
prived of her children, went mad and
killed them, and then the laws were
changed. That shows how much OF a
shock it is necessary TO give the Eng

about the possible troubles Of her

Eats Heartily at Every Meal.

AS II in preparation for her absti-

ner Saturday night she had broiled
chicken, toasted mushrooms, English
breakfast tea and mineral water, for
breakfast yesterday she contented her
self with grapes. bananas. coffee and
toast. Her luncheon was composed OF
lamb chops. green peas, French fried
potatoes, mixed fruits. tea and mineral
water, and for dinner she had flet

she brought from England.

Gazes Through Iron Bars.

Mrs. Pankhurst's efforts to while
away the monotonous day were divided
between frequent inquiries for news
and inspection trips over the island.
She saw no humor in the fact that on
her previous visits 10 this country she
neglected to visit the place where she
was 10 be detained, nor could she see
that the furore she had aroused
brought her different treatment than
that accorded the immigrants she saw
through iron bars. Possibly, ii was
suggested, the zest Of surveying prison
regulation had lost its edge TO her
after her eight incarcerations.
She spent a long time on terrace
outside her room, from which she could
catch glmpses of the skyscrapers and
the figure Of the Statue OF Liberty.
Then, with Luther c. Steward, who was
one of the board of special inquiry
which ordered her deported, she went
through the buildings.
Her interest in the feeding was shown
in the large immigrants dining room.
She asked many questions and found
one fault.
Il would suggest" she said. that
large basket of bread be placed on the
table, so that the immigrants could get
all they want"
Houlder Hudgins. in charge of the
catering. told her that the immigrants
wanted different kinds Of bread.
Mrs. Pankhurst placed her hands
tenderly on the heads OF the children
she passed and remarked that they
were particularly well behaved.
AT any rate" she said, Il am OF the
opinion that the question Of caring for
immigrants has been more scientifically
studied here than in England
