The Steamer Company Failed to

San Antosio (Tex.), Dec. 21.
Alexander Becce, a Russian Jew,
filed a suit in the Federal court
here against tha Hamburg-American
Packet Company for $5 ,000
damages. The petition alleges
that William Jaffe, his son-in-law,
who Uvea here, contracted with
the packet agent in this city for
tickets for the plaintiff and hi?
w ife and daughter from Hamburg,
Germany, to this city, and thai
the necessary amount of passage
was paid, hut notwithstanding
this the company refused him
transportation and would not re
turn the m mey.

Mr. Bet-cd is a native of the town
of l'.yzlik, state Symaria, Ku-sia,

notice from the gjverninent that
he must either leave the country
within thirty days or be exiled,
together with his'family, to Siberia

While waiting for his tickets or
passage money at Hamburg the
German ollicials called upon him
and threatened to send him back
to Russia if he did not leave that
country immediately. This threat
piostrated Mrs. Becce and she
spent some time in a hospital at
Hamburg. It was only through
the kindness of the Jewish com
mittee in Hamburg that the fam
ily was enabled to reach America.
Mr. Becce is an aged gentleman
and highly educated. He was a
prosperous and wealthy merchant
of l'.yzlik up to the time the perse
