| With the sailing of the army trans
port Buford, from Ellis Island yes
| terday with more than 200 Russian
anarchists, including Emma Goldman
and her common law husband, Alex
ander Berkman, ends career of
crime and agitation never equalled In
any country. A reveiw of the career
of these two noted criminals, as given
by The Associated Press, causes
wonder that the United States has
stood for so many years for the ter
rible teachings of this pair. The as
sassination of President Mckinley is
assination of President Mckinley is
of Henry C. Frick resulting in a short
term in the penitentiary ended by a
complete pardon is another marvel
of American leniency to crime. The
Associated Press account of these
two noted criminals forming
strange, wierd and almost unbeliev
able story follows:
NEW YORK.-The deportation of
Emma Goldman and her devoted COM
panion Alexander Berkman ends a
joint career of 80 years in the United
States during which they preached
overthrow of government by violence.
He spent 16 years and she three years
in Jail, but they were never punished
for the part their teachings played
in attacks by others on life and
property.
Berkman served fourteen years for
shooting Henry Clay Frick and two
years for urging young men to alb
stain from registering for the draft
early in the war. Miss Goldman was
in prison two years for opposing con-
scription and one year for melting
riot. Berkman was never brought to
trial on an indictment for murder in
with the Preparedness
Day bomb outrage in San. Francisco.
Miss Goldman was acquitted of il
legal distribution of birth control
literature.
Their joint activities as publishers
Of the anarchist magazines, Mother
Earth" and "The Blast" suppressed
during the war; combined with their
addresses at anarchists meetings,
helped cause the assassination of
President Mckinley, the government |
charged in its deportation proceed
ngs. The confession of Czolgosz de-
scribed the influence which Miss
Ioldman's writings had on him.
Their influence was traced in the |
lynamiting of the Los Angeles Times.
Matthew Schmidt and David Caplan,
low in Jail with others for that |
rhine, were "of the Goldman clan,"
Attorney General Palmer has said.
They were suspected of receiving
German money to oppose prepared
less by the United States before the
United States entered the war.
They cooperated with German spies
n endeavoring to promote revolu-
ion in India during the war
They were the pioneer radicals in
he United States. Now there are
10000 Reds here and 427 disloyal
oreign language newspapers, ac-
ording to Attorney General Palmer
Denounced by judges and other
'ublic officials from President
roosevelt down as enemies of the
ountry seeking to destroy it but re- 1
'arded by woman anarchists who
reeted them with kisses as sbeauti-
ul characters, 100 years ahead of
heir times" they so increased their
ollowing that it was easy for them
D provide $4,000 or $4,000 bail in
ash or Liberty bonds. Yet fines of ]
10000 each for opposing the draft !
1ere unpaid. They had no property,
hey said /
For more than 10 years their de- !
ortation had been agitated and at
mes seemed near but no formal pro-
eedings for this purpose were insti-
