MAY DEPORI BOY

Youth'Arrested as Stowaway Involves Four Nations. Immigrant Officials at New York Find Perplexing Problems In the Case of an American High School Lad. New York—Higher education and ffßVel in the case of Samuel Goulden, a stowaway on the Prinz Sigismund, have given the immigration authorities some perplexing problems to solve in which four big nations are interested. They don’t quite know whether Goulden, an 18-year-old high school graduate, must be sent back to Jamalca, a British colony, or to Russia, or whether he has a right to remain here. The boy lnsistr»that his father and mother came to this country from Russia when he was six years old and that his father became a naturalized citizen. The boy was graduated from the high school of Thomas, W. Va., wher* he says a search of the records will show that his father became a citizen, thus making him also a citizen of the United States. Goul*den’s troubles came about through the fact that his parents disagreed and parted, whereupon he went to Oklahoma to seek his fortune. He failed to find it and after beating his way back home decided to go to Panama. He thought his education equipped him to work on the big canal and on November 30, with $1.60 In his pocket, acquired by pawning two of his rings, went aboard the steamship Prinz August Wilhelm. For three days he mingled with the first class passengers and appeared regularly at his meals. Then it was discovered that he had not paid for his passage. At Kingston, Jamaica, Goulden was turned over to the British arthorities and thrown into jail. When the Prinz Sigismund stopped there on its trip to New York, the boy was put aboard.
