 Ships Destination Held Secret.
 The autocrats of all the Russians on the transport were Alexander Berk- man and Emma Goldman. his boon companion for 30 years. With them were 245 men and two women-Ethel Bernstein and Dora Lipl1in. None knew where they would debark and even Captain c. A. Hitchcock, com mander of the veteran transport, was no better off. At daybreak tomorrow Colonel Hilton, commanding the troops on board as guards, will hand the skipper his instructions. Only few high officials of the war and labor departments know the ships destina- tion-

 The transfer from Ellis Island to the buLOT0 lne dSlldlOISs Nno Df1FC preached Meath and destruction. was an event unique in the annals of this nation. Seized in raids in all parts of the country, they were mobilized here for transportation. An elaborate screen of secrecy was thrown about the preparations for sending them away.
 Transferred in Darkness
 It was in the darkest hours of night o% TA dr,f1IY at the immigration station to take aboard the undesirables for the seven mile journey down the bay to the Buford.
 A revenue cutter and two other army tugs formed an escort for the reds and one tug lay alongside while they were being transferred to the Buford to prevent attempts by those reiuc- tant to leave to swim the half mile to the shore of Staten Island.
 While the anarchists had professed joy at the thought of returning to Russia, few of them wept and most of them seemed downcast as they stepped on board the tug for the grim journey through the darkness of the harbor to the troop ship.
 The air was cold and a biting wind was blowing as they huddled on deck.
 Goodbye, America sobbed Miss

 Berkman Defiant.
 Berkman was defiant to the last and threatened secret service men as he stepped from the soil of the United States.

Proof of membership in this organi zation, which was formed here in 1907 by a Russian who is now chief Of police in Petrograd caused most of those in the party to be deported. Its constitution advocates the use of vio- lence.
 Emma Goldman Unconcerned
 Miss Goldman was so unconcerned that she slept until after midnight although the rest of the party re- mained up all nies:. They were noti- fled after dinner last night that they would be deported before daylight. They had not expected it so quickly. Despite elaborate precautions, Harry Weinberger, counsel for Miss Goldman learned of the plans and made two intellectual attempts to visit the is- land The bureau of immigration con- sidered another visit useless because he had said farewell to his client So had Mrs. Stella Ballentine Miss Gold mans niece. and Miss Eleanor Fitz- gerald of New York. who had ex- pressed a desire to be deported with Miss Goldman and Berl<man, whom she kissed in public when he was sur rendered for deportation.
 As soon as they were informed that they would be sent out of the country before dawn the male anarchists for mally organized the first soviet an- archistic commune" of America and elected Berkman grand commissary.' He bossed the preparations in the large detention room and no monarch was ever more readily obeyed. All stood up when he entered the room
