Edward w. Everett, the we'll known
lawyer, is frequently talked of for
congress by his many political friends.
He is said to have no ambition in this
direction, but his popularity would
cause his election to almost any office
he was nominated for.

New York, Feb. 11.-Fifty-four
radicals-alien-bor anarchists, In
dustrial Workers of the World and
others-arrived at Hoboken to-day
on train from the West en- route to
the Ellis Island immigration sta
ton, where they are to be detained
until arrangements can be complet-
ed for their deportation. AsN the
second group of men was led from
the train to the boat on which trans
ferral was made to Ellis Island,
three cheers for the Bolsheviki were
given and three more for the
I. w. w.
When all of the fifty-three men
and one woman had reached the
decks of the immigration boat, the
police ordered the 1. w. w. MEM
bers to separate themselves from
the others and move to one end of
the vessel One ]. w. w. member
objected and struck n policeman.
others of the /. w. w. closed in,
the police came to the rescue of the
man attacked, and not until clubs
had been used freely and effective
ly were the I. w. w. members sub
dued.
Another version of this disturb
ance was that one of the fifty-three
men had throughout the Journey
from the West been a marked man
among his fellows, suspected of be-
ing not a radical, but a Government
agent in disguise"
A strange scene was presented as
the arrivals stepped from the train
shortly after dawn at the close of
their long railroad journey. Many
of them wore flaming red ties. The
woman had on a fur coat and a
black sailor hat. The neen-had been
playing cards most of the night and
showed the want of sleep and were
unshaven. Canvas carpetbags of
the kind immigrants carry were in
cluded in an odd assortment Of bag
gage, with here and there a shiny,
new suit case. Some of the men
wore no hats. one had set a panama
rakishly back from his forehead.
The temperature was not mild, and
many of the radicals shivered for
| lack of overcoats.
| Before the boat left Hoboken for
Ellis Island the immigration authori-
ties called on the United States army
| for aid.
A lieutenant and twenty soldiers
boarded the vessel The army off,
GERS warned the radicals that he
and his men had come aboard to
preserve order and that they were
| prepared to use their weapons If
necessary. The boat then swung out
| into the Hudson, carrying more
guards, inspectors and soldiers than
there were radicals.
The soldiers carried small arms
and were instructed by the immi-
grafton agents to shoot to kill If
necessary"
AS the boat left the pier the radi-
calls became noisy. Three cheers
for the Bolsheviki were given. The
red flag and the /. w. w. also were
cheered. Then the prisoners chant
ed in unison ITO hell with Amer
ica"

A series of robberies that cul-
minated last night in the blow
ing open of the safe of the N.
Freidberg Wholesale establish
ment at 126 South Second street,
has reused business men of the
neighborhood to make an en-
phatic protest against what they
call the lack of police protec-
ton afforded by the Harrisburg
police department.
The hardware store of II. A.
Gable, 113 South Second street, and
the jewelry store of William Placlk,
% South Second street, are other
victims of the thieves. Cables have
been entered twice within a week
and Freidberg's three times within
a short period.
Break Windows
Entrance to Plack's and Freid-
berg's was gained last night by
means of breaking in the plate glass
doors with bricks. At Friedberg's
where the safe was blown open, $500
in jewelry was stolen, but. at Plack's
the appearance of a workman from
the railroad freight station frighten-
ed the alleged burglars away be-
fore they gained entrance through
the hole they smashed in the win
dow.
Cables store was entered the night
before by means of a back way, af-
ter the thieves had climbed a fence.
Some small change from the cash
register was stolen, and the cash
register smashed. Some padlocks
and screw drivers also were stolen.
A few days before, entrance was
gained by means of a key apparently
stolen from the store during the day
time.
Merchants Indignant
The South Second street merchants
are indignant that the police ap-
parently pay no attention to them,
and afford them no protection.
II havens seen a policeman since
I've been here" declared Harry
Freidberg, one of the proprietors.
They're supposed to pass every
hour, but / never see them"
1t was hinted that the merchants
would circulate q petition demand
ing better service. A night watch
man employed by the tenants of
the neighborhood did not sec the
thieves.
Take Finger Prints
zThe watches stolen at Freidherg s
were kept in the safe over night
They are premiums offered by the
wholesale confectioners, and alto
gether were valued at $500, Mr.,
Freidberg said. The heavy door OF
the safe was standing open, and the
thin inner door was locked. Strewn
about the floor near the safe were
ten half burned matches, while
powder marks were apparent along
the steel door. The lock was not
unfastened, but had torn out of fas-
tening by the explosion. The safe
is in the office on the second floor
fronting wide open windows, but
apparently the burglars were not
disturbed. Mr.. Freidberg declared
the money is banked every night, or
the loss would have been greater
A short while ago thieves gained
entrance by way of a transom in
the rear, and as a consequence ali
windows except the front ones have
been barred.
City detectives put on the case
took finger prints and are endeavor-
ing to locate the stolen articles.

Sentiment in Harrisburg to-day is

by the introduction into the Leg
islature by Representative William
+. Rorke, of Philadelphia, of House
Bill No. "a as an amendment to the
old Blue Laws" of 1894.
A stand entirely opposite from
that taken by the Harrisburg Min
isterium in a series of resolutions
passed yesterday, condemning Rep
resentative Rorke's amendment,
have been taken by many city peo-
pie. The amendment would permit
Sunday orchestral concerts, lee
lures, movie shows land other en-
tertainments of an educational char
acter." All these would be legal
lied by the measures, which also
contains the prohibition that there
shall be mo raising or lowering of
the curtain, no appearance of any
person in costume and no moving or
changing of scenery or furniture
upon such stage or platform"
Blue Laws AntiQuated
A revision of these laws, which
they term "antiquated," meets with
the general approval of those who
have taken TINS Slde OIL the queS-
ton. Greater liberality in the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath is generally
favored by the advocates of a re-
vision, although they are unanimous
that any entertainments permitted
should not interfere with regular
church services.
The measure. however, has met
with not the least approval among
the clergymen who are affiliated
with the Harrisburg Ministerium.
Their stand as announced in their
scathing resolutions of yesterday,
protesting against the particular re-
vision provided In Representative
Rorke's measure, is finding special
commentator among a consider
able percentage of the members OF
their church. Severely arraigning
the promoters of the measure, the
clergymen's resolutions characterize
their product as "unpatriotic" and
''un-C Christian" while declaring that
Sunday is necessary to the preser-
vation of the home" Such laws
