bERKMANANDEMMA
 COL OMAN ARE ON THEIR WAY TOPR|S0N
Anarchists Given Two Years and Fine of S1O,OO0, Which is Maximum Penalty
 Under the Law

New York July 9.-Emnla Goldman and Alexander Berkman, anarchists, con- victed here tonight of conspiracy to ob- struct operation of the selective draft law, started for prison in the custody of federal marshals a few hours after the verdict had been returned.
 Berkman will be taken to the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga, and Miss Goldman to the state penitentiary at Jefferson City, Mo Each was sentenced by Federal Judge Meyer to the maximum penalty of two years imprisonment and to pay fine of $10,oo0.
 NO DISORDER
 The jury deliberated 40 minutes. it was expected a demonstration would be made by anarchists present, but there was no disorder.
 In sentencing the prisoners Judge Mayer said he regretted they had not put their abilities to better use. since they could have been highly influenc- ing clements in imparting knowledge to the foreigners who come here" He added: "The government is part of our lives and we are part of it's life and so 1t shall remain the greatest standard in the world of true democ- racy"
 The prisoners pedigrees were taken, Berkman saying he was born in St. Petersburg fl years ago. Miss Goldins n gave her birthplace as Kovno, Russia. She said she is 4S years old.
 We were convicted because we are anarchists Berkman said. "We were convicted out of prejudice"
 "The very fact that we were denied anarchists" Miss Goldman declared, "and it shows the prejudiced attitude of the court We were frank and out spoken and we stood by our opinion"
 In charging the jury Judge Mayer said:
 This is not a question of free speech. for free speech is guaranteed to us under the constitution. No Amer ican worthy of the name believes Tn anything else than free speech. but free speech means not license. not counselling disobedience of the law
 PRISONERS DEFIANT
 The prisoners were in defiant mood during their departure. Marshal Mo Carthy permitted a few friends to tell them good-by and as they were being put into a patrol wagon Berkman said
 we are going straight to Petrograd by way of Atlanta and Jefferson City yUotro gIad to po
 Two years and 30 days is a loas time,'' Miss Goldman said. "and judges by then may realize they are not the directing hand of God.''
 Tt is cruelty added to injustice u deny us the privilege of remaining here a few days" she added. They arc spiriting us away without giving us a chance to get fresh clothes It is such cruel actions as these that viii convince people of the righteousness ot our cause.

WASHINGTON FEELS
 CERTAIN CHINA IS
 STILL A REPUBLIC
Reports Are to Effect That Efforts to Establish MOn- archy Are Finally Com
 plete Failure

Washington, July 9.-Ffnal overthrow or the abortive movement in China for restoration of the Manchu dynasty is be- lieved here to be only matter of few days. Both official and unofficial dis patches have led to the conviction that the fighting is practically over and that a solution soon will be found by com promise.
 Latest advices received here report the republicans blocking all four lines or railroad out of Picking and Chang-Hs sun, the monarchist commander, still holding the ancient capital as pawn for his per- sonal safety. In this situation 1t Is thought both sides are about ready to end the trouble.
 If the revolution is ended thus by a compromise. officials are inclined to feel that it will have had very beneficial effect on China, routing the last rem nant of Manchuism and establishing the republic more firmly than ever before.
