PIIIFUL CASE OF ANNIE HOF.
Immigration Officers Order Her De-
ported, but Keep Her Baby.

An example of the workings of IL
beautiful immigration law is the case
of Annie Hof. a German servant who
has been ordered ~deported. Her
eight months old baby, an American
citizen. must stay behind, motherless,
homeless, and a charge on the COM
munity.
The solemn Interpreters of the law
in the immigration office decided that
because the mother bore a child out
of wedlock she must necessarily have
been brought here for immoral pur-
poses. With a mothers desperation
she begged to be allowed to work as
a servant. to scrub anything at all
for her child. But, having no money.
she was obliged to GO. To her en-
treaties that she be permitted to take
her child her superconscientious tor
mentors turned a deaf ear. Take
from America a freedom American
citizen? Never.
20 the ulOtneI has Sdlltu away,
never again to see her child. and the
child will be lucky If 1t can find food
and shelter in a decent orphan asy-
lum.
Incidents like this constantly oc-
cur in the immigration office. Some
day, possibly, Congress will wake up
to the fact that the present law is
imnossible-that no Secretary of
Commerce has as vet succeeded in
interpreting il with any degree of
satisfaction. and that il works many
and dreadful cruelties. Until that
time this enlightened country must
he content to see a statute that would
have been brutal IN the middle ages
administered as the law officers of
the middle ages would have delighted
TO enforce it.
