BILL TO DEPORT
 ALIEN RADICALS
House Measure Defines Disloyalty to Government-Aimed at l. W. W. and Like Organizations--"If
 President Wilson Knew"

Washington, Dec. 16.--A bill defin- ing radicalism and designed primar- fly, Chairman Johnson said. to force the Department of Labor to arrest and deport all alien members of the l. w. w., and kindred organizations was reported to the house today by the immigration committee.
 Under the bill any alien who is a member or contributes to, loans mon- ey to, or is affiliated with any organ lzation preaching, advocating or far warding the teachings of sabotage, the overthrow of organized govern ment, the killing of or assault upon any government official, or the unlaw- ful damage to or destruction of prop erty would be liable to arrest and de- portation.
 No overt act must be proved in or der to bring about deportation as the bill provides that mere membership in or any utilization with radical or ganizations shall bea deportable of- fense.
 Explaining that the purpose of the measure was to make the letter and hleNhb OA tllN AttN Bldlfi anu ulilliSbdh- able, Representative Johnson intro duced letters and records to show that Secretary Wilson had ruled that un- der existing laws mere membership in the 1. w. w. did not constitute grounds for arrest and deportation.
 Ten Bills Are Up
 Ten bills aimed at immediate sup pression of all forms of radical ac- tivity in the United States were con sidered today by the house judiciary committee. which expected to begin work immediately on measure CO., ordinating the provisions of the bills and incorporating the ideas of indi- vidual members of the committee. 1t is the plan to report the committee bill before the Christmas recess.
 Scores Lower Officials
 Representative Blanton, democrat. told the committee that the radical idea was interwoven into our whole system of government" He charged officials of the department of labor with the radical movement and declar- ed that the entire department from Secretary Wilson down, is so honey combed and permeated with the spirit of anarchism that you have got to have house cleaning here before you can get at the bottom of the situation,
 If Wilson Knew
 "lf President Wilson knew what ! know about the department of labor. he would clean it up in fifteen min utes," said he.
 Representative Davey, Democrat Ohio, told the committee that unless congress acts immediately the people would take the situation into their own hands and string these wild-eyed radicals to telephone poles throughout the country"

 The Star of Tuesday. December 16. gave the following:
 Some publicity has been given sen sational prophecy of Prof Albert F. Porta, mentioning that other astrono- mers differed materially with the alarming conclusions.
 One of these others is Prof. o. H. Truman of the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., who says:
 ''It is a fact that for some days be- fore and after December IT six of the planets-Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury will be roughly in the same direction from the sun. Uranus in a directly opposite direction and the earth somewhere at right angles. This is doubtless an un- usual grouping. I should think, how ever, that it or some grouping much like it has occurred several times be- fore in the ages of recorded history. However no bad results are to be fear ed from it. Even should this conjunc- tion of the planets cause sunspots, and there is no certainty that it will, the sunspots will have no effect upon the weather of the earth"
 Father Rigge, Jesuit astronomer at Creighton College, rated as one of the foremost scientists of the world, too, scouts the theory that there will be any c3taclysmic effects upon the earth.
 Let the lover of the beautiful make the effort to arise about o'clock in the morning and look out of a window toward the east; he will not regret the effort and will have presented to his charmed gaze one of the most marve- lous sights that is possible to imagine especially if he be able to transport himself in spirit toward the far-off worlds, toward the land of the skies. sisters of the floating island whereon the destinies of our humanity roll, |" writes Flammarion with the splendid imagination which has made him per haps the most populary read of all the scientists
 And now read the pleasing comment of Camille Flammarion, great French scientist;
 You will be literally daZzled by the radiant light of Venus, nearly moon light in it's intensity. The four most brilliant planets of our system-Ven- us. Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars Gin the order of their brightness) are at this time all together in the same region of the sky The march of these worlds, at once rhythmic and variegated moving like the earth itself around our sun which retains them grouped plane tary family in the hustle and all pow erful net of it's attraction, endows the sky with a mysterious life, full of al- lurement to our imaginations

Large Liquor Interests Assert Su- preme Court Decision Amounts to Confiscation-A Leak" of Court

New York, Dec. 16.--Lawyers rep resenting large liquor interests in New York intimated today that civil action against the United States gov ernment might be the next step in the fight against prohibition and that com pensation for losses estimated at $300,000,000 would be sought. The lawyers asserted that the decision of the supreme court virtually confiscat- ed the liquor held here.
 Local banking circles will be but little affected by the courts decision, it was said. Large loans were out standing on warehouse receipts earli- CT in the year, but nearly all have been liquidated in recent months.

NO AGE LIMIT ON AvIATORS
Peace Time Flyers in England Need
Only Good Eyes and Sound
Hearts.

London, Eng.-The fact that only
young men capable of passing severe
physical tests were accepted for avia-
ton work during the war has caused
the belief that flying as a sport will be
barred to persons past the prime of
youth. That is a mistake, according to
British experts, who say that for ordi-
nary peace time flying there should be
no age limit. The only qualifications
they set are good eyesight and a sound
heart.
Flying an airplane, 1t is pointed out,
Is much simpler, and far less nerve
racking than driving an automobile or
sailing a yacht. Any man who has
lived a decent open air life, especially
If he has played games and hunted,
will find that learning to fly, ever at
the age of so, Is quite an easy business,
experts say. A modern airplane will
virtually fly itself, and the controls
are so arranged that a man, even on
his first trip, it is argued, does the
right thing instinctively.

REMOVES STAMPS, FINDS WILL
Betrothed of Drowned Sailor Reads
Letter Third Time and
Profits Thereby.

Bangor, Me.-When Colin Wentzef
in the schooner Alfaretta for the
West Indies hi intended to return in
about three months and marry Miss
Gladys Keddy. He never saw home
again, for within four days sail of
Malone Bay on the return passage he
was washed overheard and drowned.
1t appears, however, that while at
Bridgetown, Barbados, Vented wrote
Miss Keddy a letter dated November
2S, which she received late in Deem
Der, and that he wrote something in
one corner of the envelope in such
small space hat the writing was COM
pletely covered by two postage
stamps.
Miss Keddy was not aware of the
writing under the stamps until, on the
night of January 81, she read her
fiancee's last letter for the third time.
Then she noticed on the inside. in the
corner traces of writing. The letters
were made out to be rem stp," which
relatives interpreted to mean remove
stamp"
Upon removal of the stamps. by
steaming over the tea kettle, there
was disclosed what the Nova Scotia
supreme court has decided is the last
will and testament of Colin Vented,
leaving to Miss Keddy $2,500 and his
share in the schooner L. M. Corkum.
The estate amounted in all to 1882.
