Sunday

New York, Dec. 19.-Anarchlsts
and undesirables from all sections
of the United States were being
rushed by special trains tonight
to Ellis Island to join the large
colony of radicals already assem-
bled there awaiting deportation to
soviet Russia.
immigration officials said that
the transport which will take the
radicals, including Emma Gold

were told tonight to hold them
selves in readiness to go aboard
the ship.
Acting Commissioner of Immi
grafton Bryon H. Uhl, said that
Is persons, including IS anarchists,
arrived at the island today for
deportation. They were all from
New Jersey.
Wives of the Russian radicals
being held at Ellis Island tonight

they and thei rchildren be deport-
ed to soviet Russia with their
husbands.
"Our husbands were apprehend-

"In every instance the families de-

England Stirred
by the Attack on
ViScOunt French

London, Dec. 19.-No event in
Ireland of it's kind since the kill
ing of Lord Frederick Cavendish
chief secretary for Ireland, and
Thomas H. Burns, his under-secre-
tary in 1882, has so stirred Eng
land as the attempt today ca
assassinate Field Marshal ViscouHt
French, the lord lieutenant. This
was the first attempt on the life
of viceroy since 1886, the year
when Gladstone introduced the
home rule for Ireland.
Such a elimination of the Irish
unrest was not unexpected. Four
teen policemen and several SOL
diers have been killed in the last
few months and no one has been
arrested or punished for these
acts, although it is declared there
were many eye witnesses to them.
Viscount French, owing to the
uncertainty of condition, always
has taken precautions against at
tack. He is one of the few vice.
roys of recent years who is credit
ed with personally ruling, instead
of depending on officials for poll
cies. He always unhesitatingly
has announced that his policy was
first to restore and maintain law
and order and then to inaugurate
home rule.
The principal grievances of the
Irish republicans at present mom-
emit are stated to be the imprison-
ment of Sim Fem leaders, and
the recent announcement that
are to be treated as ordinary GRIM
inals; the suppression of the Free
mans Journal, and minor week.
lies; the ban ON cattle fairs and
other gatherings, on the ground
that they become the centers of
anti-government activity; and the
order decreeing that permits for
all motor cars except large lorrics
shall be issued b ythe police au-
thorities, which led to chauffeur's
strike.
An important question in the
Hobbies of parliament today was
what effect the latest act of vio-
lence in Ireland would have on the
governments plan to introduce it's
home rule bill Monday. It was
said among prominent members
that it was expected the anti
home rulers would redouble their
opposition to any concessions to
Ireland while the alleged secret
campaign against the government
continues.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The SEN

hour tonight in an effort to pass
before adjournment the long con-
sidered railroad bill and enable
congress to recess tomorrow fol

Decision today by the republic
IN steering committee of the SEN

and the legislation sent to confer

taken, leaders said, greatly inn

able weakening in the ranks OF
the opposition, advocates Of the
bill claimed, saying assurances
had come from opponents that nc
prctracted obstruction would be
attempted.
Before the final contests on the
two principal disputed provisions
Of the bill-the anti-strike anc
other labor clauses and the pro

roads--the senate disposed OF
many minor amendments including
a proposal by Senator Walsh

was smoothed out when Senator

technically for the senate measure
which would expedite it's move

also agreed to vote on a substi-

government for a period of years
The senate tonight overturned
it's previous action and rejected
by vote of So to II, an amend

of Washington designed to prevent
alleged discrimination by Canadian
railroads against American car
