Chicago, Jan. 17.-The l.. s. aerial mail plane to New York was delayed this morning to wait for a package of antitoxin rushed by automobile from the University of Illinois at Eurb9ln. and which is urgently needed a the Fordham hospital in New York for treatment of three cases of food poisoning.
 The call for the antitoXin was re- ceived at Eurban at l o'clock this morning in messa ge from pr. John Reigelman. medical examiner of the Bronx which said the package must be in New York in less than 24 hours or it would be too late. Because trains do not make the trip quick enough it was suggested the antitoxin be for warded by airpiane.

Vessel Reaches Port.

Hango, Finland, Jan 16.-United States army transport Buford, having on board 249 radicals deported from America arrived here at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Finnish pilots could not dock the vessel and a German pilot was summoned.
 Alexander Berl>man and Emma Goldman, who have been considered the leaders of the deportees have de- clared they will not remain in Russia but will return to America and save it.
 The Reds on board the Buford will be taken to the Russian frontier by L. s. Labor Bureau and iIini grafton officials.
 After the Butord had been docked, BerEnlan and Miss Goldman led 8 procession of radicals down the gang plank. A large number of persons assembled on the wharf gazing curi- ously at them. The reds made up 8 motley throng, their faces being full of curiosity to- what their future might be, while there were traces of anxiety lest they might be attacked after they had left the protection of their American guardians. Finnish authorities will look after the safety of the deportees.
 
 After they had landed, Berkn1an and Miss Goldman talked willingly with newspapermen. Asked to give her opinion of her deportation the latter replied:>
 Tt was melodraIna to keep it se- cret''
 Tt was unfair and stupid,' inter- jected Berkman. You can't kill an idea like that. The czar tried, and failed. He is dead and forgotten
 Do you want to overthrow the American government?' Miss Gold man was asked.
 You need a new government" she answered. and I hope the election will provide it.
 She intends to return to America as soon possible. She asserts she became an American citizen by virtue of her marriage to Jacob Kersner at Rochester, N. Y., in 1887. and de- clared the court decree issued in

ConfiScation Begins.

New York, Jan. 17.-F'ive hundred cases of confiscated whiskey piled on the sidewalks in front of the custom house and under guard helped con- vince New Workers today that there was an official determination to en- force prohibition.
 The whiskey had been taken from bonded warehouses for export prior to the time the amendment became eff fective and it was seized soon after midnight. Twelve warrants we're is sued for arrests in connection with the seizures. There was an official suspicion that there had been no in tent1on on the part of the owners to export some of it. at least.
 Eventually New York city will be the headquarters of a prohibition en- forcement district that will take in all of Long Island, Connecticut and Rhode Island under the supervision of a supervising. federal prohibition agent yet to be appointed. There will be branch offices and deputies at Providence, R. l., and Hartford, Conn.

 Determination to Save America"

Helsingfors, Jan. 16.-Finnish au- thorities have informed the Soviet government of Russia of the plan to escort Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman and their radical "com- rades'' across the border, but no re- ply has yet been received from the Bolsheviki. The Finnish authorities requested that Bolsheviki troops cease firing when the party arrives.
 The radicals deported from Ameri- ca will he placed on board locked cars and taken to Terijoki about two miles from the frontier being accom- and a detachment of American ma- rines. There are two ways of enter ing Soviet Russia. The first is across q bridge near Terijoki where the Bol- sheviki and Finnish lines are drawn along the banks of a little river. The other is further north towards Raul tu, where the respective lines are separated by a thick forest. The for 1ner is the more direct route and, if used. the American Reds will safely reach Soviet territory. The other is known as 'the route of death." owing to the large number of political pris- oners who have been dispatched in the forest after having been deported. People of Finland acquainted with the history of deportations are keenly interested to learn which route will be chosen.

Probe to be Sweeping.

Kansas City. Mo-, Jan. 17.-Prep. arations for "a sweeping and com- prehensive' investigation to be made into conditions at the federal dis ciplinary barracks at Fort Leaven- worth. Kas., were begun today by Fred Robertson, L. $. Dist. Attorney for Kansas.
 MT. Robertson said his plans as yet were entirely tentative. He added, however, that he expected to go full ly into charges made yesterday at the trial in Kansas City, Kas., of Il former inmates of the barracks that for several months in 1919 the in- stitution was governed by d Soviet committee of prisoners and that their regime, sanctioned by the officer who was commandant at the time, de- Veloped into a reign of terror dur ing which crime hourishcd and prisoners openly mistreated. The committee, it was declared, came into existence as part of the set tlcment of general strike called in protest against the seicase of 113 conscientious obiectors.
 To Be Far-Rcaching.
 As evidence that Judge Pollock be- 1ieVed the barracks investigation should be far-reaching court officials today pointed to his instructions to the jury in the trial at which evidence was brought out. Judge Pollock said:
 That portion of the case which to our mind is one of the most un- usual and singular things that has ever been heard in the history of this government, one of the most unusual situations ever presented in a court of justice is this. They had a strike in the military prison;, the convicts refused to work; with the approval of the government this institution was turned over to be run by commit tee elected by the prisoners. Those there for punishment operated the prison. As result of this situation there grew up what any reasoning man should have known would re suit a rule of anarchy, corruption and slugging-in short, a mob rule.
 Will Find Cause.
 "If this condition did exist it ought never to be possible for it to exist again Somebody in this government is responsible and they should answer if the judgment of this court is worth anything
 Ordering of the investigation put the case on trial into the background. The II defendants were charged with being involved in widespread plot to print and circulate from the bar racks fraudulent government treasury certificates.
 Nine of the defendants were dis charged by the judge on the ground that they had not been connected with the manufacture of the certifi- cates. No verdict had been returned early today in the cases of Louis M. Osterwiess of New Haven. Conn.,. VI l., T I John Conway of Hattiesburg.
