Two Dead in Same House

Mrs. Rachel Schwartz, janitress of
205 Eldridge Street, called policeman
yesterday to smash the door of lodg-
j er, Frank Lehman, whom she had not
seen for four days. Lehman was found
dead with a dozen whisky and beer
bottles about him. An autopsy will be
performed to-day and little liquid,
which remained in one Of the whisky
bottles, will be analysed.
Mrs. Schwartz recalled she had an
other lodger, Abraham Nacn, whom she
had not seen since he engaged his
room, November 25. The policeman
broke down Naen's door. He was dead,
too. The facts that the quarter meter
had shut off the gas for lack of coin
and that two gas jets were wide open
led the police to suspect that Naen
died from asphyxiation. An autopsy
will be performed in his case also.
His brother Jacob said that he had
seen him December 5. Abraham was

All Nations Should
Outlaw Anarchists,
Says Caminetti
Urges Remedy for Bolshe-
vis1n; Reports Increase of
2O,5l3 in immigration
of Aliens Over Last Year

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Interna-
tional outlawry for anarchists Is the
weapon advocated by Anthony Cami-
netti, Commissioner General Of I'm
migration, against the wave of anarchy
and Bolshevism spreading over the
world. The suggestion is made by the
commissioner in his annual report.
Merely sending anarchists out Of the
Gus radicalsm, Commissioner Cami-
netti contends. For such radicals can
resume their activities in some other
land. The laws of the United States
do not make deportation a punishment
for crime, the commissioner points
out, and when an alien anarchist is de-
ported he is released from custody the
moment he reaches his own country"
During the fiscal year 1919 two aliens
were prevented from entering the
United States and thirty were
expelled. Fifty-fve persons were
awaiting deportation, making a total
of niety-two ordered deported DUR
ing the year, all on anarchistic grounds.
Legislation by Congress to provide
punishment as we'll as deportation for
alien anarchists and punishment for
citizen anarchists was urged. Another
recommendation was that foreign-born
anarchists who have become American
citizens be denaturalized.
In discussing anarchist cases Mr..
Caminetti said:
"A curious circumstance with regard
to many Of these cases relating to
members of the anarchistic classes is
this: Most of those who have been pro-
cecded against seem to be opposed to
all government as organized at present,
yet in no class of cases arising under
the immigration law~ has there been
apparent so general a Iesre to claim
most vociferously, if inconsistently,
the right to be protected in every man
ner and to every degree by the existing
government"
immigration during the year, said the
report, showed an increase over 1918
from 110,619 to 141,132 (immigrant
aliens only), while 1852 emigrant
aliens have left the country perma-

things, for the complete reconstruc-

The i%nsinuating sneer on Kirby's
lips changed into the semblance of a
smile. Slowly, deliberately, never
once glancing down at the face of his
cards, he turned them up one by one
with his white fingers, his challenging
eyes on the Judge; but the others saw
what was revealed-a ten-spot, n
knave, a queen. a king and an ace.
"A straight flush! !" someone yelled
excitedly. ID if / ever saw one

The next moment he was on his feet,
the chair in which he had been seated
flung crashing behind him on the deck.
"You THEIR he roared. "You dirty,

where did you get the fifth one?'
Kirby did not SO much as move, nor
betray even by a change of expression
his sense of the situation. Perhaps he
anticipated just such an explosion and
was fully prepared to meet it. One
hand still rested easily on the table,
the other remaining hidden.
$50 you claim to have held four
aces" he said coldly. "Where are
they?'
McAfee swept the discarded hand
face upward and the crowd bent for

deck, but Kirby reached his feet in

which had been hidden, shot out sud
