Toledo Must Beg
 to Get Cars Back,
 Say Traction Chiefs

Toledo, Ohio. Nov. 1o.-With tho city and traction company officials in deadlock over settlement of the street car question, the operating concern, the Toledo Railways and Light company, began today the cir culation of a petition seeking to have an ordinance embodying the granting of cost-plus frachise submitted to the voters at another election.
 The company first submitted it's cost-plus plan of settlement to the council last July. The council took no action. Instead the city law mak- ing body approved the custer ordi- nance and then permitted it to go to the people. It. was approved by a vote nearly 3 to 1.
 It was reported today that the city is negotiating with other trolley concerns to supply Toledo with car service.
 Frank R. Coates, president of the Toledo Railways and Light company, denied a statement credited to Henry l.. Doherty of New York, head of the company that controls the Toledo traction concern, in which the trac- tion magnate is said to have insisted that "Toledo would have to beg hard to get her cars back"

Deportation Proceedings Insti- tuted Against Scores of Rad
 icals Over Nation.

Washington, Nov 10.-DeDorta tion proceedings have been instituted in number of cities to rid the coun try of the violent radicals caught + the nationwide raids which have been in progress since Friday, Attor- jney General Palmer announced to- night. Instructions have gone to al department of justice agents, the at- torney general said to permit no de- lay in instituting formal hearings preliminary to the actual deportation ! Assurances have been received from other government departments hay ing to do with deportatons that action would be taken to expedite the cases.
 In the meantime, the c1ean-up o1 the country will continue. MT. Pal mer announced tonight that there must be no let up, the total number actually held on deportation war rants had reached 391 tonight. while from some cities, in which radica leaders were picked up, reports had not reached the department.
 Efforts of the department repro sentatives, it was said. are beino di- rected more particularly at the Unior of Russian Workers. This organ ization, branded by the attorney Pen- eral as the most dangerous anarchis. tic group in the country, was said tc have wide ramifications, with the de. partment agents still uncovering new evidences Of it's activities.
 Bail Is Large.
 | Opinion at the department of jus. tice as expressed today. seems tc be that the Russian union perhaps was constituting itself as self f-ap pointed leader of all organization which are preaching overthrow of the government. Literature seized was said to show that the organiza tion accepts support from almost any sources. so long as it was work inp te defeat authority and dostroS private pronertv rights. Officials said they had evidence showing tha' leaders of the union had made over lures to other and lesser groups ot radicals to join their organization holding out promises of reward: when state and society are over i thrown.
 Because they are regarded as tho most dangerous of all radical types those arrested in the recent raids are beino held in s10 900 bail off cials said. Peter Bianki and Adolp} Schnabel. both former secretaries o- the Union of Russian Workers, have been held in bail of s15OO0.
 The followinp list given out by tht department of justice shows the mum ber of persons held on deportation warrants in the various cities:

Washington, Nov. 1G.-Warnine was given the United Miners of America tonight by Attorney Gener- al Palmer that resolutions of con- ventions and orders of officers o1 organizations are not above the law i Final declaration of the govern ment's policy of dealing with the i coal strike was announced by the attorney general, while officers oi 1 the miners organization at India , napolis were struggling with the question of how to answer the courts demand to rescind the strike order.
 Describing the strike as viola tion of a federal statute, MT. Pal mer, speaking with full authority ot the government, announced that all the power of the United States would be eXerted to enforce the mandate of the court.
 Although no reference was made in the attorney generals statement to announcement of organized la bor, supporting the miners and de manding withdrawal of injunction proceedings, it was evident that MT Palmer had that document in mind as his declaration stated, that as re fusal of the miners to cancel then strike order would mean fight to the end. All day word from the Indianapo- lis meeting was awaited with anxi- ety. Some labor leaders had pre- dicted taht the mandatory order would not be compiled with and that 1 the strike order would stand, unti passed upon by the same delegate convention which arbitrarily fixec the date for the nationwide walk ont unless specific demands were granted by November l.

Quiet to Mark First Anniversary of
 Armistice Here; But Last Year-Well,
 That's One Night City Will Not Forget

There were no editors, no reporters, no copy reader. c. B. Miller, Guy Busenburg and a few others were volunteers that night.
 Anticipating developments, the wire had been kept open. The night wore on and the weary watchers tir- ed. At 12 o'clock came the prover- bial hunch. The men in the Graphic office ordered the composing room staff to come to the office The print CTS drifted in between 12 and i, sleepy and tired, some of them sick and all dubious of the "hunch" Then at 1:47 it came. Routed through Kan sas City to Pine Bluff, the stream of words coming over the wire sudden ly halted and the current changed. From the east, thru Memphis. the single sentence was shot thru: "The armistice is signed" The Graphic called every industrial plant in the city and informed them. They were instructed to "cut loose" at 8 Not a l one went before schedule. Prompt fly at 3, bedlam broke loose. Shrieking whistles. the sirens from many mills, began their wild song. At 3:10, the streets in front of the Graphic office were damned with neople. In another quarter of an hour, Dr. Norris mount ed the court house steps and prayer was offered. And while thousands prayed and sang and cheered. the staccato of revolvers in all parts of Pine Bluff sang out on the night air
 That was merely the start. An all-dav prayer service on November II followed at the tabernacle, and Pine Bluff stopped work and ran riot until midnight on the eleventh.
 It was big day and the next day there were big heads.
 i Today it will be different, and those who were here last November II. will sav that it will always be different. There will never be ar- other like it.
 Pine Bluffs celebration was one of the few real ones in this country. as the false report of the sign E ing of the armistice on November !were not published here.

APPROVE p AN FOR THEATRE ID COST S15o,0OO $2l,0OO of Stock Subscribed at Initial Meeting at the
 Chamber. w. LEGITIMATE" SHOWS
 TO BE PLAYED HERE Will Lease to Saenger Amusement Company for Ten Years With
 Guaranty of Six Per
 Cent.

Subscription of stock to insure the Pine Bluff was begun yesterday afternoon following meeting at the Chamber of Commerce at which F. c. Bridges outlined the plan for build ing the theatre to the satisfaction of more than score of business men. Of the capital stock, which will be $100.000, $21 ,000 was subscribed at yesterdays meeting. Representative of corporations expressed a willing ness to subscribe, but because many such subscriptions required formal vote of these firms, these were not made yesterday. In several banks and industrial companies the theatre subscription will be acted upon today and the subscription made.
 Mr. Bridges. who is cna'rman of the chamber theatre committee, and who has been in charge of plans for the project, said last night that he believed the required amount of stock would be raised at once.
 Under the plan, adopted by the committee and approved at vester- dav's meeting, the theatre will be built and owned by local corpora- tion Ii will be leased for 10 years to the Saenger Amusement companv, who will operate it. A guaranty to stockholders of the Pine Bluff com pany of return of 6 per cent has been made, and the Saenger comnanv also has apreed that every available Legitimate" attraction that travels this section of the country will show here.
 Committeeman last nioht declarino they felt sanguine of the projects success said that subscriptions of stock will be welcomed from a"vore who cares to invest. There probably will not be any committee sales. IL is believed that another large lump Of

Sickly lights glimmered over a deserted Main street at o'clock this morning.
 Far down the street the steady rap of policeman's night stick sounded a sharp tattoo, the only noise to break the early morning stiffness. Not even a night-prowling taxi came jaunting along.
 Out over the city thousands slum bered. The industrial plants were big black shadows against back ground almost as dark It was 2 striking contrast to the early morn ing of November II, 1918.
 And as much in contrast will be Pine Bluffs celebration today of the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. The schools will close. But the business houses will remain open and business will go on as usual. It will be mild anniversary; there will be no organized celebra- tion.
 Last year at 3 o'clock on the morning of November II Main street from the court house to Sixth avenue was damned with people. Thous- ands sang and screamed and cried in the streets; scores of shots pierced the air; at the court house Doctor U. I. Norris was offering the city's prayer of peace. Religion and rum ran side by side. While women kneit in prayer throughout Pine Bluff oth- CTS gave vent to their pent up emo- tions and "shot up the town" It was such a celebration as Pine Bluff had never seen before, and probably will never see again. The news came over the wires of The Associated Press in The Graphic office at 1:47 o'clock on Monday morning. (The operator still has the receiver and the sheet he copied the "flash" upon.) At that time the "flu" had Pine Bluff in it's grip. Thousands were away at war. Hun Idreds were i'll. The Graphic's staff was "shot to pieces" and c. H, Adams, publisher, and M. A. Pinette, circulation manager; composed it.

BERGER DENIED
 SEAT IN HOUSE
 BY LARGE: VOTE
Representative Vote to UnSeat Anti-War Socialist by Total
 of 300 to One.
SPECIAL ELECTION
 TO REPLACE HIM
Foreign Accent of Accused Gives Hearers Difficulty-Voight Wis consin, Only Member to Sup
 port Milwaukee Man.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Victor L. Berger, Milwaukee socialist, was de- nied his seat in the house today by an overwhelming vote, the house holding he was ineligible for mem bership because of his open opposi- tion to war
 The vote to unseat Berger was 309 to 1, Representative Voight, re- publican, Wisconsin, being the only member to support the Wisconsin socialist either during the debate or on the roll call.
 After denying the seat to Ber- ger the house declared that the seat was vacant, holding that Joseph P. Carney, democrat, who contested Berger's election did not receive a plurality in the election last year. Without record vote, the house also directed Speaker Gillett to mo- tify the Wisconsin governor of the vacancy in the state delegation so that special election may be called to choose a new member.
 Berger appeared in the house soon after the session opened. Rep- resentative Dallinger. republican, of Massachusetts, chairman of the special committee which investigated the case, said the only issue involved wac fha+ Of n, ,arioapicpo
 Ut is whether man who in 1911 took oath. as a member of this house to support the constition and wilo, against the imperial German gov ernment, became the head and front of an organized conspiracy to him. der, obstruct and embarass this government in it's fight flo rexistence, should be admitted to membership in this house." said Dallinger.
 "The committee is convinced upon all the facts and upon all the preced- ents in this house that Victor l.. Berger, should be excluded from membership and that the question should now be determined by this house.
 "In the opinion of the committee the house expects it; the men wi;o fought for their countr yin the great war expect it, and the entire country expects it."
 Soon after Berger began his statement to the house there was much commotion and Sneaker Gillett rapned for order several times. When Berger condemned govern ment action in sending troops to Gary, Ind, Representative Blanton, (democrat) Texas. insisted that Ber- ger confine himself to his own acti- vities and utterances and not be per- mitted to criticize the government "especially at this critical time."
 Speaker Gillett said he had been unable to understand Berger "be- cause of his strong foreign accent. v
 Berger did not deny making the alleged seditious statements which led to his conviction, and sentence to 20 years in federal prison. | "Under the same circumstances" he said. "I would say and write them all over again only I would make a great deal stronger. because T have been justified by the events since the armistice when the war was practically ended"
 Berger characterized the espion- age act "as an infamous measure passed at the order of American plutocracy not to punish spies, but to hound citizens whose opinions diff fered from those of the administra- tion."
