MARRY T0 OUTWIT IMMIGRATION LAW Gompanionate Unions Reported Frequent in Cuba Havana, Dec. 14 (P—Matrimony has cracked the United States immi- gration wall and marriages between American citizens and allen women have become an important Cuban industry. As the immigration law is now Interpreted, citizens of the United States may wed on Cuban soil and, after a residence of 15 days, apply for permission to enter their wives into the United States. 'Many of these marriages are not made with any intention of fraud on the part of husband or wife but they are frequently aimed against the Amer- ican immigration restrictions. The marriage ceremony. in these cases, is legitimate enough but in reality a farce intended to force le- gal entry of the wife into the Uniited States. There are instances where this form of matrimony is the cul- mination of a romance started in Kurope. The husband attained American cjtizenship and made a home for his bride only to find the immigration door barred against her., Usually the method for beatng the irwnigration law is effected by the man sending the woman passag¢ money from her home to Cuba. He then arrgnges in Cuba with respon sible parties acceptable to the Cubar authorities for her reception anc care. The prospective bridegroom takes matters up with the state de. partmeni and then comes to Cuba armed with conclusive proofs of his status, From then on ti is smooth sailing and loving couples are often seen sitting in the parks of Havana waiting patiently for the day when they may be permitted to make the Journey north. Should no provi- -slon he made for the woman's recep- tion in Cuba she is detained here until the man she is going to marry s communicated with or arrives. There is another method of get- ting sweethearts or wives into the United States without entanglement in the maze of immigration laws. ‘This is done through farce marriages between United States citizens and the women desiring legal entrance into the States. In the first place the marriage of an American citizen already on Cuban soil is a different matter if he wishes to wed the alien woman. He must stand an investigation by the United States consulate. If his eitizenship is found correct his name s placed in the rigstry of American eitizens and the marriage may take place but he must show lack of fraud or intent to commit fraud be- fore permission for marriage 1s granted. Many abuses, how many will never be known, have been committed in eonnection with international mar- riages despite the care and trouble taken by consulates to stop them. Jt is rumored in Havana that as high a5 $1,000 has been paid Americans to contract such marriages, to take the woman to the United States, there to leave her until she secures & divorce or drops out of her hus- band's life. Let an unscrupulous American drop & hint here and there about roreign cafes or restaurants that he s “matrimonially inclined” and an alien agent is sure to hunt him up and make an offer. In the majority of cases the bridegroom will re- ceive $500 and maintenance in a ho- tel during- the 15-days wait. The money will be handed him with his steamship tickets for embarkation #f himself and wife. It is almost impossible to obtain evidence of fraud in such cases al- though eopsular agents are alert.

Working countries are often willing te sac- rifice their reach relatives or friends o the| United States or merely to seek their fortune there. Such girlg sel- the Americans whom will accept a little “sasy money.” Sometimes the money s provid- ed by fiances already in the United States, which had led to several incidents. Girls have married these temporary mates only to fall in love with them with the resuit that they refuse to part despite fervid notes from anxious friends in the North who have financed the whole undertaking. In at least one known case the husband and wife decided that Cuba was good enough and refused to leave it. With his wife's savings and his “bounty meney” from her fiance he embarked in business and is doing well.
