trip, declared yesterday that the Probst

PITTSBURGH, March 20-Augus,
Probst, who has instituted habcas cor
pus proceedings to prevent deportation
from Ellis Island, New York, and who
is expected to tell his story in Federal
Court tomorrow. was discharged from
the fashionable Rolling Rock Club at
Ligonier, near here, because CHS ac-
tions became SO eccentric and offensive
that it was decided to dispense with
his services" according to statement
made public tonight by j. D. Lyon,
president of the club.
"There is no mystery about the dis
charge OF Probst,' Mr.. Lyon declared.
Continuing, he said:
''You will find a complete answer to
his charges in the possession of the
United States immigration authorities.
All the talk about heiresses and love
affairs is utter nonsense, and it is q
pity that any one would so indiscrim-
inately reflect upon the women who
happened to have been guests at the
club as to give credence to such idle
talk as that furnished in the news
papers today"
