the effect that they were considering
proposals to compromise with striking
mine workers by paying more than the
IA per cent increase suggested by DR.
Garfield, and increasing the price OF
ccal. There will be no compromise on
the demands, they said.
In connection with the action of the
federal court at Indianapolis ordering
grand jury to investigate their ac-
tions with a view TO bringing in
dictments under the Lever act, the op-
orators sent a telegram to District At

that the hearings he expedited.

are in conspiracy with the miners" ths
telegram said. We urge that investi.

ARCH RADICALS SAY

THEY WOULD WRECK
[ Republican A. r. Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman, Ameri-
cas- two most notorious anarchists,
spent tonight at Ellis Island. They
were surrendered to the immigration
authorities at noon upon demand of
the department Of labor to await de-
pOrtation to Russia after preaching
their doctrines in the United States
for 30 years.
While they were on the way to the
island, accompanied ON the govern
ment ferry boat by a few OF their
most devoted followers. their counsel,
Harry Weinberger, was appearing be
fore Federal Judge Mayer with a peti
ton for writs of habeas corpus in a
last effort to nullify the deportation
decree. The writs were granted and
are returnable Monday. Weinberger
said he would insist that his clients
be produced in court before Judge
Mayer, who sentenced them to two
year terms for obstructing the draft
law.
There was no way of determining
tonight whether the legal proceedings
would delay the departure of Berkman
and Miss Goldman for Russia. The
government has not announced wheI
| it expected to have ship available
to carry them away and Weinberger
declined to state whether he would
take their cases to the United States
supreme court If the lower courts de-
| eide against them. 1t was pointed out,

bonds used as bail for them would be
available to carry on legal battle 4

DRASTIC STEPS
TAKEN To SAVE
RAILROAD COAL
Service Is Slashed and Trav-

Discomforts Heat Shut

Republican A. P. leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-DraStic cuts in
passenger service on all railroads in
the eastern region, which number ap
proXimately $50 and extend from the
seaboard TO St Louis and Chicago,
were ordered today by Regional Direc
tor Hardin, to save fuel and permit ex-
peditious transportation of coal to
places in the west facing acute short
ages.
The reduction in service, which be-
comes effective at 1901 a. m. next
Wednesday, will be as sharp az that
which was made in the fuel famine of
war days.
Mr.. Hardin has specified that for
the first time in it's history, the ia
nous Twentieth Century limited be-
tween New York and Chicago, must be
suspended; that no special trains are
to be operated and that second sec
tions of regular trains must be dis
continued except in case of travel be-
tween cities of dense population and
then only when absolutely indispens
able
Other developments today were:
l. Heat was turned off in subway
elevated and surface cars during rush
hours.
2. Heatless cabins met the commut-
er on all ferry boats operated by the
railroad administration.
3. Theater signs were darkened
voluntarily by managers STept be-
tween 1880 and $3.50 p. m, although
many electric advertising signs were
ablaze with light
4. Federal authorities in Brooklyn
began search for fuel oil profiteers
upon receipt from Attorney Genera
Palmer of order that all such persons
were to be prosecuted under the food
and fuel control act.
5. Public Service Commissioner
Nixon appealed to the public to save
electric light by every possible means
asserting that local transportation
schedules should be last to be attacked

Professor Wildman, whose ability

service. agrees with the California

grave mistake to saddle the banks Of

When two professors agree, It's
time to sit up and take notice. When
two professors not only agree with
each other, but agree with the Govern

Uncle Sam Gives Soldier Boy
New Lease on Life.

Lilliard Evans Is colored soldier
boy who had both legs blown of in &C
ton. He lives for the present at Let.
terman General Hospital at the Pre-
sidio in San Francisco. He can and
does dance fox trots and one-steps.
How? Why?
OF course to dance fox trot or one
step fellow has to have legs-goOd
legs. Well, Evans has them-not hie
own legs of flesh and bone, but his own
willow legs with joints and everything.
He is going to leave Letterman pretty
soon and go back to work and make
his living and probably get married
and raise children. That's the how.
The why Of 1t is-the government of
the United States has gone In for leg
and arm making. II IL giving spe-
cially built leg or arm or hand or q
pair Of legs or arms or hands to every
soldier who lost his legs or arms In the

in their own workshop. They are MAX.
ing them because they have hit upon q
better artificial limb than the private
manufacturers are turning out, not sx-
cepting the Liberty Leg" which the
government supplies in most cases.
This is one phase Of the reconstruc-
ton work that Uncle Sam is quietly
| carrying on. 1t is one of the least ex-
pensive, but it is costing hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Remember that
when Uncle Sam come aknocking at
your door with the Victory Liberty

who gave of their nesb and blood for

Cable the Peace Conference

Americas prestige is at stake in
the coming Victory Liberty Loan. The
eyes of the world are fixed upon us.
The nations of the world are going to
rate us on this last effort. It is right
that they should Judge US, not by
what we do in the heat Of the strug-
gle, but by our condition after the
night.
One Of the best guarantees Of world
peace for years to come would be the
successful flotation of the Victory LIB
erty Loan for five or six billion dol
lars. Even Q combination Of powers
inclined to start another war would
hesitate in the face of such . display
Of tremendous national strength.
Every man who buys . Victory Lib
erty Bond next April, moreover, will
be adding to the determination with
which America speaks at the Peace
Conference. There are undoubtedly
going to be many moments during that
Conference when every whit of the
power of the United States will be
needed to shape into actualities those
ideals for which We entered the world
struggle.
Let the cables carry into the Quai
dOrsay this message:
America has oversubscribed her
Fifth Liberty Loan by more than z
billion, dollars"
