SISTER DETAINED
AT ELLIS ISLAND
Assyrian Society Returns Priest To
Washington To Keep Eye On
immigration Committee.

The Assyran-American society of
this city has sent Rev. Simon Yonan
back to Washington with instructions
to remain in that city and look after
the interests of the Assyrian and Ar
menian people until the substitute i'm
migration bill Is passed
Rev. r. Yonan was a member of
the committee Of which former Mayor
George A. Quigley and Pera Benja-
min were associate members, which
went to Washington last week and
laid the plea of these people before
the immigration committee. The To-
cal men were informed at the time
that a substitute bill now was in the
hands of the immigration committee
and would be introduced very shortly
In order to take care of these cases.
The returning of Rev ,Yonan to
Washington is an indication Of the
satisfaction the society feels with the
work of the committee.
Another case somewhat similar to
the case of Absalom John, whose wife
is in Russia, has been brought to the
attention of the Americanization de-
partment and passed on to the AS
syrian-American society.
The case Is that OF Alex Water, VINO
conducts store on Whiting street.
Mr.. Water Is citizen of this coun-
try. He was born in Assyria and his
parents and two brothers were cruel
fed in that country by Turks. Now
he has a 4-year-old sister, married
