COULD NOT GET KOSHER FOOD

Hebrew Girl Dies Because She Would Eat No Other. New York, Nov. 3. —Orthodoxy so uncompromisingly that it prevailed even over the instincts of self-pre-servation, caused the death in the Ellis island hospital of Gisella Breiner, a young Hebrew immigrant. On the nine days of her voyage across the Atlantic the girl could get no “kosher” food and she fasted. As a result she died of inanition.
