BREVITIES

Notwithstanding all appeals made by the Jewish Immigrant Aid Society of Canada, the Canadian government has not permitted the twelve detained Jewish immigrants who arrived at Halifax with false entry permits to land. All were deported to Europe on the “Doric” Sunday afternoon. The statements made by all twelve victims who arrived with the White Star Line steamers “Regina” and “Pittsburgh” that they secured their visas from the Canadian Consul at Danzis through the direct efforts of White Star officials and that they paid in that company’s office for steamship tickets as well as for visa expenses were of no avail. The sum paid by each of them amounted to about $200 more than the actual cost of a steamship ticker. The Jewish Immigrant Aid Society holds the White Star Line responsible and is making a strong effort to get back the money taken from the twelve victims. The names of the twelve deported Jewish immigrants are: Chaim Bojmel, Nisan Mrozowicz, Szulim Oszlak, Symon Szacki, Moszek Jedwabnik, Hirsz Lew, Peisach Zmudziak, Abram Rucki, Elias L. Appelbaum, Joewl Zmulziak, Jankiel Herchberg, and Isaac Kagan. Several days ago the White Star liner “Doric”, the steamer which took back the twelve immigrants, brought two Jewish immigrants, Moisze Zablocki and Uszer Bronin, in possession of false permits. They were detained at Halifax and expect the same fate as the others.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has authorized his representatives in Egypt to withdraw his $10,000,000 offer for archaeological research in that country if necessary to end the controversy among the Egyptians as to whether it should be accepted, according to a statement issued from Mr. Rockefeller’s office, Wednesday. In the meantime, however, a revised offer containing changes suggested by Premier Ziwar Pasha of Egypt has been forwarded to Egypt.

Premier Ziwar Pasha met determined opposition on the part of other members of the Cabinet to the Rockefeller museum plan, which indicated that the plan will not be accepted, a despatch from Cairo to the New York “Times” reported.

Had the gift been $100,000 it would have gone through without any particular comment, is the opinion of American residents in Cairo, but $5,000,000 for the construction of a museum and $4,400,000 for its maintenance, and the secrecy with which it has been surrounded, aroused suspicion in the minds of the Egyptians that it was intended as a national bribe for an object they could not define.

M. Lacau, the Director General of the Antiquities Department, was openly and aggressively against the project and so was the Minister of Public Works, Sirry Pasha.

The will of Dr. Julius Rudisch, who died on Jan. 36 last, provides that one-half of his estate of “more than $50,000” shall pass to Mount Sinai Hospital on the death of his wife and brother, who are life beneficiaries under the will. Dr. Rudisch was one of the earliest graduates of the Mount Sinai Hospital staff, and was an attending physician there at the time of his death. The New York Physicians Mutual Aid Association is named beneficiary of the other one-half share under the same condition. The value of the estate was not learned.
