SETTLE AMAZING
LOVE DILEMMA
immigration Authorities Lets
Baby and UnWed Mother In.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 81 The immi-
grafton authorities. It was announced,
have decided to admit to this country
Emily Knowles, 21-year- old English girl.
and her baby, which Is said to be the
, child of Perley Spiker Of Baltimore. The
Ambulance, however, is temporary and
at Ahe end Of three months the case will
BE- taken up again.
If during the three months Miss
Knowles marrles Guy Spiker, brother Of
Perley, she win be allowed TO remain
permanently In this country, 1t was
learned.
Miss Knowles, according to the deci
sion of the immigration bureau, is to go
to family 'in sertain northern state, "
where she will remain In the custody of
old friends. She will be given an OPP
portunity to see Guy Spiker, so the
strange romance will have a chance to
develop normally. She has already seen
Guy, 1t was stated here, and has agreed
to marry him. Both Guy and Miss
Knowles, officials said, have fled Aft
davits saying they are willing to marry.
But, although the federal authorities re-
fused to recognize officially the offer of
Guy to marry the mother of his brother
baby, unofficially they are convinced this
Is the best way out Of the tangle.
Mrs. Spiker told officials, they said,
that she wanted to take Miss Knowles
and the baby into her own household in
Baltimore.
This is my own Suggestion" immi-
| grafton officials said she told them. THE
responsibility for taking care of the baby
| is jus tas much ours as though it had
been born ours"
