MOTHER IN, BUT BABY
BARRED BY ALIEN ACT
Appeal to Washington Made for
Sieilian Immigrant-Husband
Already Admitted.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 27.-Elis
Island was disturbed today and the
heart of a young mother fluttered
between hope and despair because a
girl baby, aged 3 months, has ar
rived at this port without proper
credentials. The fault is attributed
to the American consul at Palermo,
Sicily, who stamped wise once,
which admits the mother, when he
should have made two impressions,
to cover the entrance of the child.
The immigration regulations max e
no allowance for consular omissions,
SO the letter of the law requires the
baby to be deported.
Appeal was made today to Repre-
sentative Nathan D. Perlman. He
ing the immigration Bureau to relax
the rules to let the baby into the
country, otherwise the deportation
order would include the mother, who
has right to land. Commissioner
Curran is powerlesS without Wash
ington order.
The case involves the happiness of
Sante Messina and his wife Mariana
who were childhood lovers in Castel-
lamare Collie. Sante came to the
United States in 1919. He decided he
wished to become an American, and
took out first papers. In 1922 the
sweetheart urge drew him back to
Sicily. He married and he returned
here last March.
In May he read that intending
citizens might bring their foreign
born wives from abroad without re-
gard to the quota. He sailed at once
for Sicily. On arrival he learned that
the order had been rescinded. He
sailed back after a stay of only one
week with his bride.
In August he was assured that the
order had again become effective. He
sent for his wife and baby. When
they arrived a week ago the consular
omission of a stamp for the baby
had been noted. AS the days drag
ged by and no relief appeared. the
spirits of the little family dropped.
The baby became fretful and Mari
ana began to cry. She smiled for the
first time through her tears when
Representative Perlman said he would
straighten out her troubles. But
Washington had not moved today.
Sante said that Of course he was un-
happy over the detention of the wife
and baby, but his Americanization
won't halt through that accident.

When the plans of Premier Herriot
of France for the abandonment of the
Devils Island and neighboring con-
vict settlements have been put into
effect, the world at large will have
witnessed the passing of the last of a
number of prison colonies whose
names have been written III blood in
some of the darkest chapters of the
history of penology.
The curtain will then have been
runs down upon that drama of clank-
ing chains and crazed beings-of foul
smelling ships and blistering tropical
suns-that has provided material for
innumerable hair-raisins tales of fact
and fiction.
Another slight advance will then
have been made in the efforts of civ
iiization to meet and cope with the
EXTREMITY battling problems surround
ing the punishment of the criminal.
Devils Island and her two sister
islands just off the coast Of French
Guiana have been to France what
Australia once was to England. and
what Siberia was to the Russia Of the
cZars.
To this island group France has
consigned many of her most notori-
Gus undesirable citizens. It's popu-
lation has included supposed traitors,
grating officials, society swindlers
and Apaches.
Dreyfus Case Recalled.
The attention of the American pub
lie was focused upon Devils Island
a generation ago by the case of Capt.
Albert Dreyfus, artillery officer who
was imprisoned there for supposedly
selling government secrets to for
eign nation: and who was found after
years Of punishment to have been the
innocent victim of a plot.
At present Charles 3. Cllmo, for
mer French naval officer. is said to
be there serving a sentence imposed
for selling naval secrets to the old
Czarist Russia.
Only recently representatives of the
German Republic protested bitterly
over threats on the part of the
French authorities to send prisoners
from the Ruhr to that remote little
settlement.
The history of penology is one of a
series of crude experiments with a
vital human problem. In the France

islands.
England. however. Is said to have
beaten France to it, in this respect
, by undertaking to use the North
American continent in the early par
of the seventeenth century as con-
yenient place to get rid OF her crimi-
nails.
When u s. Was the dump"
From 1919 England shipped con-
victs to Virginia from time to time
until the period just preceding the
American Re~olution. when the colo
nists refused to tolerate this practice
any longer.
For a few years after the shipment
of prisoners to the American colonies
had been stopped England kept many
of her prisoners in old hulks of boats
and employed them at dredging and
other useful but unpleasant tasks.
Then. however, came the decision
TO utilize Australia as a penal colony,
and In 1897 the first shipload was
sent to Botany Bay. The following
year the prison ships began also to
unload their human cargoes at New
South Wales.
As in the case Of Virginia, the law
abiding settlers in these places
eventually became so numerous that
they were able to apply pressure upon
the Government to have the prac-
tice stopped. 1t was in 1867 that the
use of Australia as 4 place for penal
colonies was formally declared
abandoned. AS a matter of fact for
years before that no prisoners had
been landed there.
Over near Australia. France had a
somewhat similar penal colony stu

Caledonia was stopped in 1896, and
the last of the prisoners remaining
there were ordered removed in 1914.

convict dumping ground left only one

system. This survivor was that

PARIS. September z7.-Premier

letter sent to him by the SIX car

called his attention to the deep feel

church, especially with regard to
suppression of the French embassy

The reply, which was submitted by

ception to the arguments advanced
