ANARCHISTS SURRENDER.
Alexander Berkman and Emma
Goldman Yield to Federal Au-
thority for Opposing Draft.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

New York. Feb. 2.-Alcxander Berk-
man and Emma Goldman, anarchists,
surrendered themselves at the United
States marshars office here today in
compliance with Federal court order
signed here yesterday as result of the
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court affirming the conviction OF the
two on a charge of conspiring to interfere
with the operation of the selective service
law
Berkrnan before giving himself UP
said that he had obtained information
that the Bolsheviki in Russia would de-
mand of the United States government
that he and Miss Goldman not be forced
to serve'their prison terms but be returned
to Russia.
The resolution adopted last night by
the Russian colonial conference, or Con
vention OF Russian Societies IN the United
States, asking the United States govern
ment TO deport Alexander Berkman and
Emma Goldman instead Of sending them
TO jail, were the subject OF tempestuous
controversy when the convention resumed
its session TODAY.
The Mcnsheviki, or Minimalists, largely
in the minority, made accusations against
President Gregory Weinstcin, editor OF
the Russian newspaper Now Mir, that
he was railroading the affairs of the
convention bv having packed 1t with
Bolsheviki delegates.
Speakers for tn. Menshcviki opposed
interfering in the observation-disclosures
case, declaring the best men in Russia
were being imprisoned by the Bolshevlki
For doing this they were being congratu
lated by this convention, while the Bol
sheviki OF this convention were protesting
against the United States inprisonine

! ANOTHER HEATLESS
DAY ON MONDAY
1t May be the Last, Though No
Definite Announcement is :
Yet Made.

There will be no change IN the closing
orders for Monday, according To Charles
III. Ten Weegcs, State Fuel Admins
traitor, and Robert ID. Kemp, char
man of the local fuel committee.
Mr.. Ten Weeges said TODAY that he
felt the matter was one that should he
handled by the chairman of the local
committee. Mir. Kemp said that IN
view of the probable change after Mon
dav, he saw no necessity for issuing any
further statements relative to closing.
Last Sunday night the fuel admins
tration gave out n lengthy order from
Washington containing number OF
changes from local rulings, accompanied
by the statement that in view Of the tatc-
ness of its receipt no local changes would
be made. As there are number of
radical changes In the order and no fur
ther statement is TO be issued the public
is left i'll doubt as to how they stand re-
garding closing.
One matter that has caused consid-
cradle discussion during the past week IS
that of combination pool rooms and
cigar stores whirh do not close Mt all.
On Monday one place refrained from sell
ing tobacco or cigars but did n land office
| business by selling Franlfurter sand
NiCueS anu ICE cItafn CtittS III tht pun
room.
The same room was open to the pub
| lie on Tuesday, but the pool tables were
| not in operation The room was well
heated on both days and the object of
the closing order, that of conserving
fuel, was defeated in this one instance.
| Other places of a similar character are
| said TO have remained open both day :,
| but sold no tobacco or cigars ON Monday
When the case Of the sale of ice cream
| cones and sandwiches in pool room was
called to the attention of MIR. Kemp he
stated that it was a matter that could
only be regulated by the Food Admins
traitor. The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed at meeting of the State Ad
| visor Committee this week but no action
taken further than referring it to Mr.
Kemp for adjustment.
