SOON ASPOSSIBLE
Senator Penrose Hints Coun-
tries May Refuse Them;
North Pole a Refuge

Washington. Feb. 12.-Alien anar-
chist and Bolshevist leaders in the
United States will be deported as
soon as shipping accommodations
can be obtained, Senator King to-
day informed the Senate.
Senator Jones, of Washington, pre-
sented q petition signed by the
minute men" of the American Pro-
tective League of his State. embrac-
ing more than 1900 signatures.
They urge the deportation of those
aliens who have taken out their first
papers, but who when the war came
on in order to escape military serv-
ice denounced their declaration" !"
said Senator Jones. ''They particu-
larly call attention to the fact that
out of 205 persons who renounced
their citizenship, fifty four. or nearly
"a per cent, had l. w. w. cards in
their pockets.
There is very strong sentiment
in the State of Washington for the
deportation of these people. They
are not considered desirable citizens
from any standpoint"
Senator King interrupted to say
the Department of Labor had taken
the matter up. and that as soon as
shipping accommodations could be
made some of these alien anar-
chists and Bolshevists who are seek
ing the destruction of our govern
ment will be deported."
Senator Penrose asked If the conn
tries from which the Objectionable
aliens came would be willing to take
them back.
1T occurs to me that we might
ship them home and their own
countries refuse to accept them. -
said Senator Penrose. perhaps. they
could not be landed from the yes
sells"
Senator King thought that under
the alien law passed last October
there would be no difficulty in de-
porting undesirables.
II can see how the anarchists
might pass their lives going from
one shore to another" commented
Senator Penrose.
Senator Jones said the State De-
parmtent took a different view from
that of the Department of Labor. 1t
had once received a protest from
one government against the deporta-
ton of it's nationals I'm this country.
1T seems that this government
does not want them returned" said
Senator Jones. 80 it protested
against our taking any action. I
think. thought, that we ought to
find the way to get these people out
Of the country. I do net care where
they go, so long as they get out of
here"
Where would they go?" demandel 4
Senator Penrose.
Maybe to the North Pole" sug-
gested Senator Penrose.
Senator Jones insisted that they
be deported, no matter where they
went.

The present publication is the
leading organ of the trade. The aim
of this issue was the chronicling of
the jewlers throughout the United

pages are devoted to the stores of

There is also an interview with Will

active business in 1919. and who en-
joys the distinction of being the
oldest living jeweler engaged in
business at one location. His old
place at 206 Market street is now

Mr.. Denehey tells how business
was conducted in those days. THE
interiors of the stores were plain
and there was not the same large
variety of wares to select from.
Business hours were much longer
and as a clerk I sold watches to re-
turning Civil War veterans as late

In course of time, however, high
mounds emerged from the waters. and
ultimately venturesome Hollanders

seals. they managed to exc out living.
The sea-girt mounds are known az
