KtW YORK. March I. Th placa of de

City. Thsrs wsra about MO women and
children Is tha room tha other day whsn
tha raportar went down for a visit.
,'No, they ara hardly ever deported from
this room," ona of tha matrons said as she
took down tha bar fastening one-half of
tha grsst door leading Into tha room.
"They ara datalnsd for ona causa or an
other, but they ara all pretty sure W "get
In finally.
"You' know. ' a alek Immigrant la , not

;"No this Portuguese- women coming
toward us haa bean bare fifteen weeks.
Oh, yea, they will always kiss your hand,"
tha matron explained as the woman cams
to tha door and after kissing the matron's
hand proceeded to bestow a similar salute
On tha reporter's glove. '"They are very
grateful, poor things, and with tha assist
ance of tba missionaries we manage to
make their time of detention more tolerable
than It otherwise would be. v

Laek of Address Traablesoma.
Ons of the great troubles wa have to
contend against Is tha indeflnlteness of
many of the addresses of tha friends the
ImieATranta expect to meet. Often they
haven't heard for years from the relatives
or friend they depend on to gat them Into
tba country.
"Now, those two girls ovW there holding
each othrr'e hands ara sisters. They are
minora and have ooms over to live with an
elder brother.
"It took us weeks and weeks to trace that
man. Tha last address they had was from
tba upper part of thla state. That was
three years ago.
"Only a fsw days ago wa succeeded In
getting trace of blm. He Is now in -Texas,

to nieit the two girls. 80 their case, I
hope, is aetlled.
"Are we sure he la their brother? Yes.
Indeed. If there were the slightest doubt
about that he would never have been
hunted up as he has been.'
"We- have cases of that sort where the
wrong person tries to elarm a girl, bnt not
so often as formerly. The rules ara so
strict now and tha officials eo suspicious
that it Is next to Impossible for a ruse of
that sort to succeed.
Story of aa Armenia Girl.
"Last summer there waa a young Arme
nian, really a beautlfal young girl. Ehe had
been engaged to a young man ever since
be was 11. She had lived In his mother's
house and he, coming to this country, soon
after their engagement had sent back
money regularly for her' support.
"She was IS and she was coming over here
to be marrlnd. The young man waa a
generous fellow and be Insisted that she
Should first spend a few weeke with a
cousin ot his who had married an Amer
ican woman and lived In Chicago.
She wasuch a child when they became
engaged, ho aald. that he wanted her to
see and know blm to make aura that aha
could love him. He had no doubt about
his own feelings. He had had her photo'
graphs from time to time and knew Just
whst she would be like.
"The girl came over under the escort of a
young boy cousin, who had been In this
country befora. I wish you oould have
seen them when they first caught sight of
tha lover.
"The boy saw him first and called the
girl's attention to him.. She looked, her face
became a brilliant scarlet, then aha dropped
her head on the boy's shoulder and refused
to look again. It was aa evident case of
lova at first eight, and tha overwhelming
shyesss that accompanies It
"Knowing tha history of the caa and the
trouble the young man had been to to have
a settlement worker here In New York
come down with him to meat his fiancee,
we were all lntereeted. Everything went
well uatll time cam to make aut her Baal
papers.
"Then, In steps the girl's father, an old
reprobate that hadn't been heard from In
years. He had abandoned his wife and
child when the girl waa a baby. She was
under age and he stepa in now and claims
her.
"Did he get herT Oh. no. But she. had
to be married before leaving the Island. It
waa either, that or deportation.
'Yes. while I believe they would have
been married In the course of a few weks.
think of the delicacy and care of that young
man and how at tha last minute It all had
to be thrown away to protect tha girl from
her own father!
Experience of am Engllsk Woman.
"An English woman left laat week who
waa with us for about two months. 8hs
had lived In America for several yeara and
went homo to visit her mother. While In
England a slater died and the woman cm
returning brought one ot the dead sister'
children with her. v
The child waa 111 when the ship arrived
and had to be taken to the hospital. The
woman's husband and children oame over
from their home In Pennsylvania to meet
her, but there was no gctng home for her.
Of course, we were not going to allow her
to leave the sick child here alone.
It waa pretty hard for her to see her
husband and children go back home with
out her. finally, however, one of the rnlo-
slonkrles became Intereatad In her case.
They asked far her to be paroled and al
lowed to go to the Immigrant Girls' home
In New York. After being there for a day
or two her parole was extended to allow
her to visit her family. Last week she waa
written to to come for her Utile niece."
From the women's detention room the
matron let the way across the hato the
Immigrant dining room. It wa early and
there waa time to observe the arrangement
of the long tables and th food that was
being distributed.
Each table was covered by a spotless
cloth, and while the dishes and other uten
sils wsre plain they were Well washed and
carefully placed. Before each plat there
waa a gigantic slice ot graham bread and
a hug piece of apple pie.
Into the plate a number of duck dressed
young men were placing first a larga ball
of Hamburger steak, then a generous help
ing of mashed potatoea and a good spoon
ful of appetising looking gravy. Another
squad followed with bowl of vegetable
soup, on for each place.
Steamship Company Feet BUI.

It can b o called," the matron explained.
"And the steamship company on which the
detained Immigrant has been broaght over

"Out her w never feel sorry tor th
steamship companies. If their welfare waa
all that was to be considered w wouldn t

"Unfortunately th feeding la th least
part of It. Now look at that group of old
men Just taking their places at the last
table. They will very en be deported.
They are over ags.
'Shouldn't you think a blind man would

the stories of most of them are to be be
lieved they are encouraged, often urged, to
pull up stakes In their old homes and come
to America.
"That healthy looking young man over
there Is an Englishman, I understand, and
he la held up because there Is a suspicion
that he Is a contract laborer. It hasn't
been proved yet. If It be true you may
b sure they will find It out and he will get
no nearer this country than the docks.
"That man who 1 feeding that small
child so carefully Is a Finn. He has been
