Thirty years ago he was sentenced to prison for the crime of false pretenses. After his release. he was again sentenced on December 9. 1936. for passing counterfeit bills. A warrant of deportation was issued on April 30. 1937. because of his having been sentenced on these two charges. The warrant has never been carried out. Since Mr. Tus final release from prison. he has resided in Seattle. where there are on file with the immigration authorities. as part of the record. numerous recommendations as to his character and probity as to his residence in that city. He has made his living during the ensuing years by operating a small hotel of good reputation. The authorities have been sympathetic concerning Mr. Tus status. but under the law. because of the convictions. the deportation warrant must be acted upon unless a private bill is enacted in his behalf. Mr. Tus. now 64. Is suffering the infirmities of age. and Russia. the only country to which he would be properly deportable. has indicated it will not accept deportees. even though Austria was the place of his birth. He. of course. is not in sympathy with the presentday Russian Governments viewpoint. nor can he speak the language. In any event. he would be unable to make his living there as he is able to do. and is doing. in the United States.
