New Cork, N. Ioyars VI Es q n =
dignation is sweeping over radicaa &
Dor circles of this metropolis in view
of the announced policy of the gov
eminent of deport alien agitators. A
series of protest mass meetings has
been held, largely under the aus
pices of the Socialist Party, in which
this un-American policy was de-
nounced and a repeal of the Depor.
tation Act demanded. The Micro
meter Lodge of the International As
ISOLATION of Machinists has addressed
itself to Secretary of Labor Wilson
for relief, and, though "lectured" by
the secretary of labor in his reply,
has again written him and laid new
facts before him.

The Bureau of Legal Advice, lis
East 18th Street, whose attorney Mr.
Recht is, has published a pamphlet
that in a striking manner sets forth
he policy of the government with re-
ference to deportations. This leaf1et
is being widely distributed. 1t shows
conclusively that the present de-
portation policy is fiagrantly in vi
olation of American ideals. 1t cites
specific instance after instance OF
injustice done not only to- foreigners
who have lived in this country a
naturalized citizens for twenty-five
years or more, and who are now sud
denly discovered to be undesirable,
but even to American born citizens
who happen to hail from towns ir
which birth records were not kept il

fore not prove that they were born
here.
How vitality the deportation issue

II wouldn't be fair to the men.
The United Press had this on no less
authority today than Miss Vera Roe
hm. champion woman ghtweighi
boxer of the world.
"A man wouldn't have a chance in
the world In the ring with a woman .
She said. You see, all she would
have to do would be to use her eyes.
and other feminine wiles, and the poor
man would be helpless. And the sight
OF woman gymnasium costume
might distract his attention.
''Besides," she AIDED. ''the innate
chivairy of a man would prevent him
from hitting a woman, hard-especiai-
ly If she smiled at him"
Miss Roehm was asked IL she
thought women would ever engage In
professional boxing contest among
themselves.
mo, IL wouldn't be interesting from
the spectators point OF view" she re-
piled. almost any woman, if hit a
good hard wallop would get mad and
hawi. / can't imagine that anyone
would get any particular enjoyment
ont OF watching a couple of women
bawl. And most likely IL they got
mad they would forget all about
science and start pulling hair"
Miss Roehm became boxer by ae-
cident. She was born i'm Baltimore.
Feb. Is, 1895. Six years ago. while
earning her living as a trained nurse
in New York. she was near death from
a nervous and physical breakdown

She became interested. then an addict.

Happily Blended In Picture, "He

Optimism. humor, excitement and
novelty are the principal features of
Douglas Fairbanks new photoplay.
HE comes Up Smiling" which will be
presented at the Arcade theatre next
Sunday and Monday The farce up
on which the picture is based, was
highly successful on the stage several
years ago, but II is said the screen ver-
sion is even more satisfactory to those
who like .tl1e ingredients which have
been provided by Mr.. Fairbanks in
this splendid production.
The part of Jerry. who is known by
the knights of the Road as THE Wa
termelon." is that of>a young man who
has ambition. but who is inclined to
live a life of vagabondage. Lured by
the green wood and an irrestable de-
sire to experience new sensations along
the broad highway. Jerry is a charcter
which stands out distinctly as one of
enjoyable screen characterizations.
The picture is filled with numerous
novel situations and the action is ex-
ceedingly rapid Jerry chases a can
airy bird over hill and dale; into
houses and over housetops: he is in
turn chased by bevy of bees and he
does remarkable stunts in a wild auto

role of the tramp is unique even in his
record of unusual characterizations.
but Mr.. Fairbanks seems thoroughly
at home therein.
Marjorie Daw is Mr.. Fairbanks
leading woman and a remarkable list
of players has been provided to inter-
pret the other roles. Chief among
these are Frank Campeau, Herbert
