 Dorflinger, a German sailor, left his boat at Seattle in January, 1927, to enter hospital for treatment. When discharged, he travelled to Ju- neau and obtained work as a carpen- ter at the Alaska Juneau. He was an industrious, hard-working man and saved his money, so that when acci- dentally discovered by w. G. Strench, district director of immigration, last September, the federal authorities were inclined to be lenient with him for overstaying his leave in America
 Government officials and Alaskan business men wrote recommendations for him, and the Department of Labor issued permit for him to stay in this country until December 31, 1928, so that he could obtain a wise from an American consul general.
 Under $500 bond with the American immigration service, Dortlinger went to Ketchikan and bought ticket for Seattle via Vancouver, intending to see the American consul at the, Ca nadian city, and, if that failed, to in- terview the American consul general at Seattle.
 Failing to see the Vancouver con- sul, he took the train south, but was removed by the American immigra tion authorities at the border, where the officials decided that while the permit issued by thAsD Department. al lowed him to remain in the United States, it did not allow him to re-en- ter the country If he had taken the: boat direct to Seattle from Ketchikan. everything would have heen. okay,, they told him.
