TURNER TO BE DEPoRTED.
Anarchist Who Was Arrested While
Speaking in New York.

The New York World of today says:
John Turner a self-confessed anarchist
and a notorious leader of the reds, will be
deported to England. This was decided
upon yesterday by Immigration Commits
sioner Williams and his board of inquiry on
Ellis Island where Turner is held a pris-
oner.
Turner's sensational arrest on the plat
form of the Murray Hill Lyceum, with En-
ma Goldman and John Most at his elbow,
has thrown the anarchists of the city into
a state of fierce excitement. The arrest
was the elimination of plan formulated
months ago by Chief Wilkie of the secret
service. At the first intimation that Tur-
ner. the most rabid foe of governments in
all England. was prepared to visit this
country, Chief WillSie put his men on the
watch.
carefully searched without results. Mean
while Turner landed IN Canada, quietly
slipped across the border at Ogdensburg
and Joined the reds in this city. He had
been here for ten days when the secret
service men discovered the fact. That was
three weeks ago. and since then Turner
has been unoer close surveillance night
and day.
Turner was under secret examination for
an hour The details were not made pub
lie but from an authoritative source it was
learned that his uuestioners made every eff
fort to draw from him the secrets Of anar-
chy's organization In this country They
failed Secret service men were on Ellis
Island all day and Turner was subjected to
a most searching cross-examination. He
was as nervous as a woman but as mum as
an oyster.
Turner's reputation as an anarchistic or
ganizer and labor leader extends all over
Europe. On the books of the foreign po-
lice his name figures in the dangerous"
class.

FLOOD SITUATION WORSE.
mississippi River Continues to Rise
at La Crosse, Wis.-Heavy Crop
Damage in Vicinity.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 21.-The flood
situation was worse Saturday at this
point, the river having risen six inches
more during the night, the stage Of water
at noon Saturday being IL feet. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
tracks on the river front were under six
inches of water and the flood had entered
the Easements of numerous wholesale
houses along Front street.
The big pontoon bridge connecting this
city with La Crescent, Mimi, was
early Saturday morning tipped nearly
over by the flood and only the prompt
action of large crew of bridgemen pre-
vented it from being washed away. The
damage to this structure shuts of all
communication with this city for thou
sands of Minnesota farmers who trade
here.
In North La Crosse the water was
three feet deep in some Of the residences,
and French island, opposite the city,
is almost entirely submerged, hundreds
of farmers there suffering total crop
losses.
Reports received here estimate the
crop damage in this immediate vicinity
at 100000. Townships in the nearby
counties are heavy losers on account OF
innumerable bridges being washed away.

under the excitement of religious

impression. Without even a study of
the character of the Turkish soldier, or
of the army's organization, history
will teach us that he is gifted with a
heroism which the soldiers of other
nations might well be proud. Nor do
we have to go back further than the
Russian-Turkish war of 1877-7S to find
this display of heroism. What nation
can point to grander example of duty

visited Constantinople as a military at

OF the barracks he asked the colonel

was assured that it could be done

and probably from this reason, as
much as from the spirit Of progress

people in all things military, it is
