PEACHES TO BE
MOVING OUT OF
HERENEXT WEEK

The first Georgia peaches have be-
gun to move to the market, shipments
having been reported Monday from
several points. None, however, have
been marketed from Sumter county.
according to the best affirmation OBJ
tainable today, and it was said that it
would be next week before the pick
ing begins. Peach men today said
that in all probability the fruit rel
ported shipped was really much too
green for picking and was rushed to
market too soon in the race Tor first
honors.
The Sumter Mayfower peaches are
reddening and will be coming in in
good volume in few days. Tie crop
will be large and the quality is said
to be giod. A ready market is ex-
pected for all of the early crop, and at
good prices.

Emma Goldman Too Rich
TO Be Welcome in Russia
Soviet Government Has Trouble Enough With An
archists and Is Not Looking for More" Ludwig
A. X. Martens Says of ''Reds'' To Be Deported

undesirables be taken to part Of Rus
sia now in the hands OF General Kol-
chalk, placed in the hands Of the Kol-
chak forces and escorted to their front
lines, to be turned over to Lenine
forces. But the "Reds" Themselves fear
this as leading to an almost too certain
death. They prefer the other plan.
The head of the Congressional COM
mittee forecast another disclosure Of
conditions at Ellis Island under Fred
erick c. Howe, when he said the A. w.
Parker report, which has been sup
pressed for various reasons, would be
demanded by his committee at once.
A subpoena would be sent to Secretary
Wilson Of the Department Of Labor,
asking for the report tomorrow. he
said.
Incidentally, three more letters have
been found by the Congressman which,
he said, show the relations Of Howe to
members of the radical party. They
were from Santana Nuorteva, secretary
Of the Russian Embassy here, in which
he is declared to have asked for the
release of q Russian radical whom he
pictured as ian excellent revolution
ist."
What Mr.. Howe did is not evident.
1t is known, however, that one of the
three men with whom this particular
one arrived, found his way to liberty
and the other two disappeared.

There will be no flowers. music or
oratory to welcome Emma Goldman
and her eighty-one "Red" associates
when they reach Russia after their
final enforced departure from the
United States.
Ludwig c. A. K. Martens. repre-
sentative of the Soviet government
here. is authority for this statement.
He said yesterday that neither Gold
member Of the "Red" party about to
be deported would be welcomed in Rus
sia, as Miss Goldman had thought they
might. He asserted they would be toll
Grated but not welcomed in any part
Of Russia.
"If Miss Goldman said there would
be bands of music and flowers to well
come her in Russia. she is all wrong"
said Martens. 1.-THE Russian Soviet
government has had enough trouble
with anarchists and is not looking for
more"
1t was pointed out by another ad-
ment here that freedom of speech was
permitted in Russia, but that plotting,
such as Miss Goldman and her asso-
ciates have INDUCED in here, meets
with death there. Trials, according to
all reports from the strongholds of the
soviets, invariably are fair, impartia,
and a forerunner of sentence to face
a firing squad.
Moreover, wealthy anarchists are not
welcomed in the government Of the
soviets. The cash now in the posses
sion of Berkman, Miss Goldman and
any other members of the party prob
ably will be appropriated Immediately
on their arrival in Russia. Excess
wardrobes also will be subjected to
an official examination and appro-
priation, if the rules now obtaining in
Russia are carried out.
Representative Isaac Siegel, chair
man of tho House Committee on I'm
migration, arrived in the city during
the day, and discussed the plans for
the deportation of the "Reds." He said
several plans have been suggested, but
that none Of them has been officially
decided upon as yet. One that seems
most likely to be accepted, however,
involves the use Of warship which,
under a flag Of truce, will sail into
Kronstadt, a soviet stronghold, and
there deposit her cargo of unwanted
"Reds."

First Document, Leaving 3
Million for Home for Old
Men, Sustained as Valid
by Chic Judge
No Blame for Lawyers
Sister of Slain Widow Also
Denounced Over. Pa
pers Declared Spurious

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-Probate Judge
Henry Homer to-day handed down q
sdecision sustaining the validity of the
first will of James c. King, wealthy
who died in 1905, leaving
an estate of 100000, the bulk of
which was bequeathed to the building
land maintenance of the James C. King
Home for Old Men in Chicago.
The second will, under which practi-
Ically the entire estate would have gone
ito Mrs. Mary C. Melvin. sister of his
llate wife, Mrs Maude A. King, was de-
.clared spurious by Judge Horner, and
THE efforts Of Mrs. Melvin and CASTOR
sB. Means, who is alleged to have dis
Scovered the second will, to have the
instrument declared valid, were de-
nounced by the court as a fraud.
Attorneys Are Exonerated
Judge Horner exonerted Roy D.
Keehn and Edward G. Woods, attor-
ncys for Mrs. Melvin and Means, from
any attempt to impose on the court.
Judge Horner rejected Means's story
of the second will as "fabrication."
After the reading of the lengthy de-
cision, Attorney Edward G. Woods. rep
resenting Mrs. Melvin. gave notice that
the case would be appealed.
In the hearing Of the case some time
ago, Meanss who was the principal
witness for Mrs. Melvin, gave testi-
mony in which he admitted having
acted as an agent Of the German gov
eminent in this country prior to the
entrance of the United States into the
war. He also claimed credit for ex-
Iposing the German spy system here.
Under the second will, which was
said to have been made by Mr.. King
October 9, 1905, less than a month be-
fore his death, the bulk of his fortune
was bequeathed to his widow After
her subsequent death it was found she
had willed the greater portion of her
estate to her sister, Mrs Melvin.

the Northern Trust Company Of Chi
cago as trustee for the erection and
maintenance of the home for old men
and giving only 100000 to Mrs. King,
was begun after Mrs. King had died
of bullet wound on a lonely road near
Concord, N. c., August 20, 1917.
Means, Mrs. Kings confidential ad-
wiser, was tried on the charge of MUIR
der and acquitted. He charged his
prosecution was instigated and financed
by the Northern Trust Company and it's
officials. A S1,0000O0 damage suit
against the trust company officials is
