listed plain and fancy reds" both
rough-neck and parlor bolsheviks,
communioists, anarchists, and what
is-its. Most of them were charged
with criminal anarchy. Others, to
udge from their Slavic utterances, ap-
parently were charged with soda
water.
Alexander Berilman, a leader of the
anarchists in the United States, was
defiant to the, last.
I'm coming back to America, and
I'm going to get you" he hissed at
Chief Special Agent William ]. Flynn,
OF the Department of Justice, who
was present with twenty of his
operatives as the radicals marched
aboard their boat in single file.
Emma Goldman, second i'm rank only
to Berkman. and a lifelong co-work-
cr, was the first to go aboard at Ell
lis Island. She remained calm, but
she had abandoned the coraplacent
manner she had assumed early in the

Girrs Voice Quivers.
Dora Lipkin, eighteen years old,
who has been in the United States

supper OF potato salad and cold sliced
bologna sausage that they were to
leave early this morning. The men
were sent into the great waiting room
on the second floor of one wing of the
great immigration building on the
island, while the women had rooms to

The radicals sat on these or on their
baggage. some playing banjos, some
guitars, while the others sang Rus
sian songs. Alexander Berkman was
allowed to go downstairs to tie up a
large crate of oranges he had just
received. Emma Goldman was in her
room, supposedly sleeping.
There was a general show of good
spirits about the place. Every one
was comfortably dressed, those who
had lacked clothes having been fur

everything they needed from socks
and caps to oyercoats. There was 20
