Former Boro Woman Feared Minneapolis Gang Would Kill Her After Murder Trial Historic Exactitude Features Half-Dollar Minted for Tercentenary By MARY HOSIE The Long Island Tercentenary At Ellis Island Segregation to Keep All of One Land Together Fails to Please Croups The theory that the different nationalities would like to be segregated from one another has not worked out at Ellis Island, according to District Commissioner of Immigration Rudolph Reimer. In the quarters set aside for aliens who entered the United States Illegally and are awaiting deportation, he said, different rooms were orlgi-naUy set aside for each nationality. However, the aliens always have ig real or Imaginary wrongs, which might produce an unsocial attitude of mind and ruin the rest of their Uvea.

Diversions Provided Handball courts and other outdoor recreation are provided for them on clear days and on other days they are permitted to make use of the island's library or to knit sweaters with wool provided by the Daughters of the American Revolution. "One fellow," Commissioner Reimer said, "developed quite a sweater business on the island. He stole wool from the D. A. R.

and then knitted about a dozen sweaters which he sold to other aliens. Made quite a profit from lt, too." The aliens, the commissioner said, are not treated as "unwanted nobodies" on Ellis Island. "We treat them as human beings," he said, "and we want them to know that if they are deported it Isn't the end of their life. They may yet become much more successful in their mother country than they ever could be in the United States." Invites Complaints In order to make the aliens' position on Ellis Island more livable, Commissioner Reimer said, he has placed a mall box in their detention quarters for complaints of any sort. "If any one has a kick to make," he said, "lt comes straight to me and I investigate lt immediately.

Isadore (Kid Cann) Blumenfeld, a liquor agent, was acquitted of the crime. Mrs. Liggett swore that she saw Blumenfeld kill her husband, but Blumenfeld "placed" himself in a barber shop in another part of town at the time the crime was committed.

Moritz Observes 76th Anniversary Amid Navy Relics Commander Who Retired in 1905 Never Forgets Old Sea Days, He Says the way from Guam, from former shipmates who, with the commander, were shipwrecked when the U. 8. S. Yosemite was caught In a typhoon In 1900. There were also letters from natives of Guam who learned their first English words in classes organized by the commander during his stay' on the island.

"Funny thing about that," said Commander Moritz, smiling, "is that I learned that in the schools they started years later, my pupils became the teachers of English." On the walla in his library hang the commander's commissions bearing signatures of four different Presidents Cleveland, McKlnley, obverse of the Tercentenary half dollar and about a dozen reverses. The reason for fewer reverses was that some of the reverse designs were paired off with one or more front faces. Historic Items Consulted This array of modeling wax didnt come Into being until the sculptor consulted pages upon pages of pictures and historical information to make sure his representations were accurate. It was recalled that not so long the same wood. In the hallway a curio cabinet contains ivory figurines, unique bits of pottery, inlaid porcelain spoqns, hand-wrought silver and a coin collection.

Age has not dulled the vibrant, commanding quality of the officer's voice, or weakeend the strong character of his face. But It has, of course, modified his activities. His hobbies now are stamp collecting and amateur carpentry. A well-made ottoman In the living-room attests to his skill with the latter, and, for further testimonials, ask any kid on the block. He's made toys for all of them.

A lifetime at sea can't be left behind. Commander Albert Moritz, TJ. S.

who retired in 1905 (only to return to service for the duration of the World War), and who this week celebrated his 76th birthday, will attest to that. Sitting in the living-room of his comfortable home at 723 E. 18th surrounded by mementoes from the far-flung lands he has visited, he said yesterday: "Do I miss the sea? Oh, my, yes! I even dream of it. Sometimes I'll have a crowd of people about me, yet I'll be on shipboard receiving and giving orders." Even birthdays bring sea echoes.

For example, to carve the 17th century Dutch vessel which appears on the Long Island coin, Mr. Weinman had to establish the difference between ships which actually appeared In Brooklyn waters in 1636 as against the fantastic sketches of 'ships of the period" which might have been built 30 or 40 years before and might have been inaccurate drawings in either case.

She will prepare Molded All Wool Blankets For Camp Use back to his studio and work out a model about 9H to 11 inches In diameter front and back. The perfection of this design has to be almost microscopic. Down to the last wisp of hair this master model and its plaster cast have to be exact.

This master model and cast get final approval, proofreading and artistic certification by the authorities. Then, Mr. Weinman said, "they take it all away from me plaster and clay lock stock and barrel." Needle Cuts Design The next step takes place In what Is described as pantographic reduction. Roughly described, a needle starts at the center of the sculptor's design. Then much in the manner of a needle on a phonograph record it moves in a paracentric motion out to the edge.

As the needle moves over every rise and depression in the sculptor's design a cutting device follows a similar path over a soft-steel surface the size of a half dollar. The astonishing part of this process is that the artist or sculptor has made his bas relief model with a maximum "depth" of one-quarter of an Inch. That Is, If one were to place a ruler across the diameter of the design from edge to edge, the deepest spot on the plaque would never be more than one-quarter of an Inch.

It is proofread, minutely examined and prepared for the final Job. Now it is pounded Into another soft steel mass until a perfect die is made.

That master die is a reverse of the sculptor's work. The effect can be obtained by pressing an everyday coin into a mass of putty. The impression will give some notion as to what a case-hardened steel die looks like. The die then is ready to pound out one side of the coin. The reverse has to be prepared In exactly the same way before the coin starts to become a reality.
