of Gioachine (Jack) Andrea, prominent
Kenosha business man, who has been
held in detention at the great immigra-
tion quarantine for more than two
weeks. There seems to be some mystery
connected with the refusal of the immi-
grafton officials to release the Young
woman aud allow her to come to Keno
sha and join the members of her family
here and this afternoon Andrea was
planning if necessary to go to Washing
ton and New York to seek the release of
the young woman. kilograms were sent
to Byron H. Uhl by a number of promin-
ent Kenosha men asking that immediate
action be taken to release the young
woman from the Ellis Island detention
camp and it was planned to appeal
to Congressman G. g. Randall and
United States Senator Lenroot before
