PAROLE MRS. .PANKHURST
immigration Official Will Act
Quickly on Appeal of Brit
ish Suffragette.

Commissioner General Caminetti was
advised by the immigration authorities
at New York last night that Mrs. Pank-
hurst had been paroled while appeal is
being decided.
The department will act quickly on
the appeal. Mr.. Caminctti said The
papers are expected here tomorrow.
Immigration authorities here take the
view that it would be hardly logical to
deny Mrs. Pankhurst admission unless
it were clearly established that the
basis for her exclusion were a crime
involving moral turpitude committed
since she was allowed to enter the
country two years ago.
While details of testimony given yes
terday before the special board of in
quiry at New York were not known
here, it was thought that the order of
exclusion was based on the findings of
two years ago under which she was
first ordered excluded, but afterward
permitted to remain in the United
States for several months.
