OCEAN TRAMP, II, MAKES
4 TRIPS AS STOWA WAY
Edward Philpozerk of Danzig, Another Smyrna
Refugee and Stranded Italian Arrive Same Day
by Free Route-Lad to Be Deported Again

Among the three stowaways discov-
cred. aboard the two steamships which
arrived here yesterday was one OF the
first refugees from Smyrna, who had
smuggled himself aboard the steamship
Guglielmo Peirce, In from Naples. He
is Kynstandinos SkatZiris, II years old,
Il grocer of Smyrna, who said that he
owed his life to the courage of the
American sailors in Smyrna, and there
fore wanted to come to the country
which they represented. He was sent
TO Ellis Island with the other two stow
aways, one from the Holland American
liner Nieuw Amsterdam, and the other
his companion aboard the Guglielmo
Peirce.
Skatziris told OF the massacre OF the
natives Of Smyrna by the Turks, and
of the looting of his little shop by a
Turk known throughout the nearby
mountains as THE Wrestler" This
leader murdered his father and mother
and carried off his sister, who was
later rescued by American sailors and
put aboard an American ship. Where she
is now Skatziris does not know
Capt. Guillermo Rastelli discovered
the Greek when he was making a count

was Francisco Collagi. Y years old. Of

year with his wife and three children.
His wife became ill and was sent with
the children to her parents home in the

Province of Rome, and as Collagrs S
money was spent he decided TO take
stowaway passage for America. His
sister and her husband live In Eastor,
he said.
The third stowaway found yesterday
came aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam OF
the Holland-America Line. IL was the
fourth attempt which the boy, Edwaru
Phrllipozerk, IA, of Danzig, has IN ade
to enter this country without complying
with the customary immigration regu-
lations. He was sent to Ellis Island
where he has become well known Dy
this time, and will be deported. De-
spite this prospect, he announced calmiy
that he will try 1t again. He said that
during the intervals between his at
tempts to enter the United States ne
has toured Norway, Sweden, England,
Germany, Rumania and even Soyiet
Russia. His parents died six years
ago, and he has spent his time since
then knocking around the world.
The boy invariably employs the same
method of boarding the Ships. He tells
the officer at the gangplank that ms
sister has his ticket and is about 10
board the ship. He then goes aboard
and on the strength or y the mythical
sister purchases on credit sufiicieh'

voyage and hides away until the snip
