morning at 10 o'clock from the Epis-
copal church, instead Of tomorrow af-
ternoon at 8 o'clock, as announced in

FATE OF ANARCHISTS
WILL Be DECIDED BY
HIGHER COURT TODAY
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-Whether
or not the final effort of Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman, noted
anarchists, to escape deportation and
remain in this country will succeed is
to be decided by the supreme court
Of the United States today.
This indication was given to counsel
for Goldman and Berkman and the
government by Chief Justice White
yesterday, after Harry Weinberger,
the counsel, had presented a petition
Tor writ Of error from the decision
of Judge Mayer, of New York, refu-
sing to grant the anarchists writs of
habeas corpus.
The court was moved to accord i'm
mediate consideration to the appeal
by the fact that the stay of depor-
tation granted by the New York court
will expire at o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon. Should the court decline to
grant the writ of error, the govern
ment can proceed with deportation at
once.
Director General of immigration
Caminetti today stated that if the
court upholds the position of the gov
ernment. Berkman and Goldman
will be on their way to Russia with
out delay.
Should the court decide in their ia
vor, the two radicals will be releas-
ed on bail. Weinberger is prepared
to offer bond in any amount that
may be required. Liberty under bond
would continue until Judge Mayors
decision is reviewed. lsas.l

MINERS ARE
WAITING FOR
FINAL ORDER
GIGANTIC STRIKE is STILL CAR
RIED FORWARD BY ITS OWN
IMPETUS-MANY ARE NOT
WAITING, BUT OTHERS MAY
NOT RETURN TO WORK AT
ALL.
(BY United Press.l

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE gi,
eantic strike machinery Of the United
Mine workers of America was still
carried forward by it's own impetus
today, despite the fact that the pow
er was shut off by its engineers late
yesterday. Indications We're that
the strike, technically ended, would
actually continue until a formal no.
tice of the decision had meen receiv-
ed by the miners.
Reports from various bituminous
fields today showed that in only
scattering communities were the men
responding to the call to return to
the mines. Only a few stragglers
ir Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Ohio and East Tennessee are return
ing to work. All Michigan miners
returned to work today. The Ala
hama miners obeyed the original
strike cancellation orders. The sit
uation in Kansas is complicated by
the state operation of mines. Re-
strictions of coal consumption is eS-
pected to continue several weeks un-
til another reserve has been acquired

NEVER SUCH A DEMAND

(RV United Press.l

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 11-Ameri-
can women have gone mad over furs,
This was the unanimous expression
If fur dealers in this big furcenter to.
cay.
Dealers have been hard pressed to
meet the demand for furs this year
9nd the next season promises even
greater demand Prices are higher,
they say, but that makes no difference
TO the womcn-they waent the best
they can get and they have the mon
ey to pay fDr them.
AS a result there are more trappers
going into the woods this winter than
ever in history. Dealers are uncer-
tain what result this will bring-but
thsy are offering better prices in ad
vance than they ever did before. This
looks like higher prices for next year,
they admit.
There are more animals this winter
than in mary years, according to
trappers reports, and they will be
needed to meet the demand, say deal
ers.
In this section approximately 80 per
cent of this years furs have already
PASSED over the retail counters. In
the east, according to reports, 60 TO
90 per cent of the trade has already
bought and the remainder of tire sales
will be Christmas trade, it is believed.
The unusual run on furs is due to
general prosperity throughout the
country, dealers declared, and particu
larly due to the prosperity of the fem
mime pockethook.

COMMITTEE GOING

FOR EXPOSITION
THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
MEETS IN JACKSONVILLE SAT-

AS TO LOCATION OF BIG SHOW
-PALATKA is HOPEFUL

A strong committee from the city

to appear before the centennial expo
sition commission to urge Palatka's
claims for the exposition site.
Pensacola is the only other city
that has indicated an intent to make
application for the location, and it is
hardly probable that the commission
will select tnat city. There has been
some talk of dark horse in the race
bt no intimation of what other city in
the state could offer inducements thai
would be attractive to the commission
has been received.
The local delegation will go armed
with the best proposition that has yer
been made ito the commission. A
land site is to be offered easily acces-
sible to all railroads, water connec-
tions and proposal to do whatever
preliminary work is necessary for the
conStrctiene ef zthe4 exposition build
ings.
it is not yet known, however
whether the commission will hear ar
guments from cities applying for the
| location, but it is hoped that Palatka
will be heard, as this city has never
been before the commission as the
otner applicants have.
Tomorrow corning committee
from the Business Mems Association
and from the city council will go tu
St. Augustine to confer with Hon
W. A. McWilliams, who is one Of the
commissioners. Mr.. McWilliams Will
be urged to favor Palatka's applica-
tion.
