GOLDMAN SEES
U. S. UPRISING
Makes Prophecy as She, and
Berkman Go to Island; Coun-
sci Seeks Habeas Corpus

New York, Dec. 6.-"There will
be a revolution in the United States
within five years, and we will be
asked to return by the workers to
aid in the establishment of Soviet
America"
These were the last words that
Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman uttered before being in
carcerated in the detention rooms
on Ellis Island. where they will be
held until they are deported to Rus
sia.
The two anarchists were accom-
panied to the island by a group of
more than so of their fellow radicals.
With Goldman were her niece,
Stella Comyn, and her sister, Mrs.
II. Hockstein.
Writs of habeas corpus are to be
applied for by Harry Wcinberger,
counsel for Goldman and Berkman,
in last desperate effort to stay the
Governments deportation of his
clients.
"If application for the writs is
granted" Commissioner Byron II.
Uhl said, ''the two prisoners will
appear in court on the day set for
the hearing. But there is some doubt
as to whether any judge will take
such action as the proportion of
writs granted to those applied for is
som ething like l in So"
Tears flowed freely when the two
anarchists who will be deported on
the first available steamship were
officially turned over to the immigra =
ton officials by Weinberger in the
reception room at noon. Even
Emma's eyes were noticeably moist
when she took leave of her friends,
kissing them all and calling them
"Comrade."

SAYS ESCH BILL
IS INADEQUATE
Railway Age Severely Criti-
ciSes Measure Passed
by the House

The Esch bill passed by the House
of Representatives Immediately be-
fore it adjourned is severely criti-
cised in the current issue of the Rail-
way Age, which has resumed publi-
cation after having been tied up by
the New York printers strike for
seven weeks.
I'm some respects" says the Rail-
way Age, "the bill is very weak, and,
indeed, il certain particulars it is
no less than vicious. Its most extra
ordinary provision is one relating to
labor controversies. The effect of
this provision is to fix forever as
minimum wages and conditions of
employment the wages and condi-
tions of employment established by
the Railroad administration. The
provision in question confirms for the
future "all decisions of a general
character made by the United States
Railroad Administration affecting the
question of wages, hours of service,
or conditions of employment and
also decisions applying to individual
carriers, which must remain in eff
feet until superseded either by
agreement between the companies
and their employees, or by the deci-
sion of a board of adjustment or a
Commission of labor disputes each of
which shall be composed of equal
numbers of representatives of the
companies and the employees. Under
this provision it would be impossible
to reduce any wage or to change
any condition of employment fixed
by the Railroad Administration
without previous assent of the rep
resentatives of the employees, and it
is needless to say that that assent,
if it made wages or conditions of
employment less favorable to the
men, would never be given.
Forever Impracticable
will the people of the United
States endorse provision whose
adoption would make it forever inn
practicable for any railroad company
to reduce wages or change condi-
tions of employment regardless of
what changes in wages and condi-
tions of employment might be made
in other lines of industry?
The. Esch bill as reported from
committee" the Railway Age con-
tinues, provided that in reaching its
conclusion as to the business and
reasonableness of any rate
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-12-06

the Commission shall take into con-
sideration the interest of the public,
the shippers, the reasonable cost of
maintenance and operation and a
fair return upon the value of the
property used or held for the serv-
ice of transportation This provision
was intended to give the Interstate
Commerce Commission authority
and instructions to so regulate rates
as to not merely to make them nom
confiscatory, but sufficient to enable
the railways adequately to develop
their facilities. The provision was
not well drawn for its purpose, but
it's adoption would have effected
some improvement in the existing
law. This provision, however, was
stricken from the bill on the floor
of the House.
The Heart of X. II. Problem
eff the Esch bill as finally passed
by the House should become Il law
the act to regulate commerce would
continue to require merely that rates
shall be Just and reasonable Under
the requirement that rates shall be
made just and reasonable the Inter
state Commerce Commission has in
the past so regulated rates that the
net operating income of the railways
and the new investment made in
their properties nave steadily ue-
clined. There is no reason for be-
lieving that under this provision the
Commission would regulate rates any
differently in the future from what
it has in the past. Therefore. the
enactment of the Esch bill would
have no tendency whatever to en-
courage increased investmen ent in rail-
roads or the expansion of railroad
facilities. The rate problem is the
heart of the railroad problem. and
the Esch bill would contribute al
most nothing toward the solution of
the rate problem.
1T is very doubtful whether the
bill as passed expressed the real
views of even those who voted for
it. When it was originally reported
from committee it contained some
very good provisions. There is good
reason to believe that many of the
mem bers who voted to eliminate
some of it's important provisions did
so to placate certain interests. The
Senate doubtless will pass a very
different bill after Congress recon
venes. There is much ground for
hoping that the bill finally reported
by the conference committee will be
great improvement over the. Esch
bill in the form in which it was
passed by the House."

Palmer Drops Southern
Pacific Oil Land Appeals

Washington, Dec. 6.-The govern
ment has decided not to appeal to
the Supreme Court in an effort to
take from the Southern Pacific Rail
road 10000 acres of oil and min
eral lands in California. Assistant At
torney General Nebeker, in charge of
the public lands division of the De-
partment of Justice. said.
The decision came as a surprise,
in view of the fact that the govern
ment won a similar suit in the Su-
preme Court a few weeks ago, TAX
ing from the Southern Pacific 5000
acres of oil lands in the Elk Hills.
Nebeker explained this by saying
that the government has documen-
tary evidence of fraud in the Elk
Hills case. In the other suit, which
represented six combined cases, Ne
beker said, the government was con-
vinced this public land was not OBJ
tanned through fraud, pointing out
that the road at first offered it for
sale as agricultural land.

"All right" said Hatfield, for SlOr

Still laughing they agreed.
Hatfield erected his tower near the
dam, put his galvanized iron tanks on
top of them, wrapped the tanks with
tar paper, and poured in his chemical
fluid. He was off in the mountains and
the city forgot him.
Sometime later the councilmen were
measuring the treasury resources and
thinking about appropriations-but
rever about the 0,00O-when it be-
gan to rain.
Some one brought down word that
the water at Morena Dam was higher
than it ever had been.

But when the downpour continued,
and the flood followed, some favored
paying Hatfield $4,000 and calling II
quits. But Hatfield is sure he will get
his $4,000.
What his chemicals are he has new
er revealed. The tar paper collecting
heat, causes the liquid to evaporate
in the day time, and at night he ap-
plies enough heat to produce the SAME
result. Ascending columns of vapor
from the tanks have the power, he
says to attract moisture even to the

a page of fiction.
AS wealth, riches and all that go
with them were within reach of the
old prospector. fate decreed that he
should never live to enjoy them, AS he
was found dead few hours later near
Dale.
Thorton, according to Sheriff j. l..
McMinn, who conducted the inquest.
had searched the desert for years,
hunting for the ore which would bring
him riches. The man originally lived
in Texas, but he was familiar char
hcter for years around Amboy and

proved beyond all doubt that the claim
was one of the richest in the district,
was discovered.
Several mining men from Los An
geles, hearing of the strike, visited
the property and quickly proffered an
offer of 100000 to Thorton for the
claim. Thorton refused the offer,
thinking it worth twice that amount
when it was developed.
Two days later Thorton was taken
sick and died that day. Sheriff Nc
Mimi was notified and he conducted

trip in a motor car with ]. l.. Robin

FINGER PRINTS GIVE

Crook Trapped by Use Of Modern

New York-Modern crime detection
methods have been put into effect in
the New York Zoo. Fred Engelholm,
keeper of the monkey house has
caught a thieving orang outang by the
fingerprint system.
Since flirting has been stopped in
the various monkey houses things
have been a bit dull, so the keepers
away the drill hours lately by
taking fingerprints of apes, monkeys
and gorillas and comparing them with
their own. Among other dainty hands
which have been placed in the smudge
pot for that purpose were those of

the monkey house the other day with
q suit case, which he left near the
door and then went to his office.
When he returned an hour later the.
suit case was missing. A careful
search revealed it behind a desk, and
according to the story, the bag had a
large fingerprint on it. Engelholm
entered, examined the smudge and,
according to the chatter is quoted as
saying, "That is the fingerprint of Da.

bag and the fingerprint convinces me
that she is thief. l think / can ex-
