Three leaders of the Chaluzim Palestine pioneer movement in Russia, arrested and exiled to Kostroma, were freed on the condition that they proceed to Palestine.
The three released prisoners, Aaron Zirlin, Samuel Friedman and David Sosinsky, who were members of the disbanded Chaluzim colony Tel Chai in Crimea, arrived here today under special guard, after spending ten months in Kostroma. They will be allowed to go to Palestine. They are expected to sail from Odessa on Wednesday. Mr. Zirlin is a member of the central committee of the pioneer organization.
