BERKMAN GIVEN
HEARING AT PEN
BY US. OFFICIALS

Alexander Berkman, whose alleged
activities in propaganda against the
army draft caused his imprisonment
in the Atlanta penitentiary for a two
year term which ends October /
was given a hearing before imm1-
grafton officials in the warden's Of
fee at the prison Saturday afternoon.
1.-THE hearing will determine whether
Berkman will be deported from the
United States as an undeSira BILE citi-
zen.
It is said that Berkman, after his
Imprisonment, attempted to continue
his propaganda within the prison
walls, seeking to arouse his fellow
prisoners against the rules of the
prison. Ills continued activity, it is
said, made it necessary for prison
authorities to segregate him from the
other prisoners.
The hearing was halted suddenly
when Berkman refused emphatically
to participate further in the hearing,
declaring taht the government was
invading his conscience and his
thought rather than ipquiring into
his actions.
The hearing was adjourned until
Thursday moning at 10 o'clock, by
which time, it is expected, the gov
eminent officials will announce what
action will be taken if Berkman con-
tinues to refuse answers to their
questions.
81 have never been in prison ex-
cept for my IDEALS" declared Berk-
man. He refused to answer other
questions put to him by government
officials in regard to his previous
life and activities in Russia and re-
fused to give the names of his rela-
tives there. To reveal these names.
he declared, would be to place his
relatives in danger and to subject
them to persecution in event the
czar or other representatives of au-
tocracy again came into power in
Russia.
1t was at this stage of the hear
ing that Berkman, through his at
torney Samuel NJ. Castleton, offer
ed to the government officials a sign
ed statement refusing to partic-
ipate in the hearing and declaring
it to be an fnquisition of thought" to
determine his state of mind.

SENATOR JOHNSON
WILL RETURN To !
CAPITAL At ONCE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Out of
a whirl of apparently contradictory
developments during recent days, the
senate treaty situation today appears
to be:
and second amendments to the trea-
ty, as proposed by the majority Of
the foreign relations committee, will
:. Senator Hiram Johnson, au-
thcr of the first amendmc t. will re-
turn from his tour despite advice by
surances that his friends in the sem
ate will loyalty look after his in
t rests"
8. Mild reservationists, though
opposed to Senator Johnson's amend
ment, will oppose any effort to rush
a vote on it until full debate has
been heard.
4. Senator Lodge and his lieuten-
ants are supremely confident they
have the votes to put the Johnson
amendment over. though they ac-
knowledge the Shantung amendment
now is definitely beaten.
The first two amendments which
are to be taken up are really one.
Senator Johnsons amendment, which
is number one, proposes to equalize
the voting strength Of the United
States with that of Great Britain in
ment. which is number two, is re-
garded as corollary, and provides
that in case of a dispute between
Great Britain. for INSTANCE, and the
colonies of the British empire shall
have no votes in the assembly,
should the dispute be referred there.
While senators supporting these
amendments have no objection to
Great Britains colonies having indi-
I,oy yix,rr cixy
votes available to the British en-
pire while the United States has but
one.
1t is this, opposition leaders said
today. which has won enough DEM
ocratic senators to insure passage OF
the amendment.
Leading Democrats today scoffed
at the claims that there are de
serters" enough in their ranks to
insure success for the Johnson or
Moses proposals.
JOHNSON ABANDONS

His vigorous attacks on the league
agreement met with hearty response
here, before a joint session of the
Legislature, which last winter ap-
proved the Wilsonian idea.

son repeated his set speech, ironically
commenting on the fourteen points
of the presidents early program and
the finished program; the manner in
which England, France and Japan
had fashioned the covenant to their
liking and handed it to America for
adoption. The meeting was attend
ed by 5000 persons, who damned the
armory in which the senator spoke.

WASHINGTON Aug. 27.-An-
nouncement that the president will
start on his tour OF the country
within comparatively few days.
coupled with the meeting of the
executive council Of the American
Federation Of Labor starting to-
morrow, convinced Washington to-
day that a climax may soon be ex-
pected in the unprecedented situa-
ton gripping the country.
In addition 10 his fight for tho
treaty and League Of Nations, the
trip will afford the president an
opportunity TO put squarely before
the country his proposition on the
matter OF wage Increases while at
tempts at lowering the cost OF liv-
ing are just getting under way.
Shopmcn Not Satisfied.
The shopmen. whose strike would
approach a ue-up OF the railroads OF
the country, are not satisfied with
the presidents disposition of their
case. But one of the big questions
that will be answered before the
president starts his trip. is whether
the American Federation or Labor
will get behind him or back the
shopmen.
The presidents friends are con-
fident OF American Federation Of
Labor support In view OF the stab
illzlnB position the labor organiza-
ton has taken throughout the war
emergency. Should the executive
council give the shopmen its sup
port I'm refusing 90 accept the terms
submitted. however, IL is pointed
out that the entire labor situation
would be thrown wide open, with
innumerable strike possibilities.
Wilson Hasn't Fought Yet.
Uncertainty during the last few
weeks as TO whether the president
would actually make his trip is at
tributed to the fact that the treaty
situation had not so crystallized as
10 indicate exactly what the presi-
dent would have 20 fight. His
friends point out that the president
really hasn't fought at all TO date.
He has merely waited TO see how
far the opposition would go.

tions committee has determined
that. The republican majority 5
