neighborhood of Adams county near
Manchester when Mrs. William Tom

paper man, issued an extra giving the
following account Of the tragedy:
Before s o'clock Monday morning,
May Tomlin, 25, wife of William Tom
ling residing one mile from the Brush
Creek bridge in Monroe township
struck her five-year-old son, Gillis,
twice with an ak, almost severing the
head from the body. Hazel, the three
year-old daughter, was struck once by
a glancing blow across the chin, strip
ping all flesh to the neck She willre-
cover. Kenneth, two months old, was
not touched.
The mother then left the two-room
cottage stopping at the Gilbert home
several hundred yards away and asked
them to go to the Tomlin home. When
they asked why she was overcome
with emotion and started to the Brush
Creek bridge.
This is briefly the facts of the blood

SEND B REDS FROM DETROIT
 TO NEW YORK
There Are Now 564 Anarch- ists Held at Ellis
 Island

New York, Jan 12---ThiI-ty-five ex- tremists from Detroit were expected to arrive at Ellis Island today to await deportation. They were arrest ed in raids last November and were to have been deported on the SOW ct ark Buford, wh oh at last reports was at Kiel, Germany, on it's way to put 249 anarchists ill soviet Russia, but train connections could not be made.
 This resumption of shipments Of reds from other points of the country to New York does not mean the de- parture of a second soviet ark in the near future, according to Byron H. UThl. con1miss. oner at FNlis Island He said he understood the reason for to- days shipment was that accommo oda- tions at Detroit were inadequate.
 The Detroit arrivals will make a to- tai of 564 of anarchis.3 at the island including 24 men who were arrested in he New York district in the No vember raids and 505 persons taken in tn months roundup, of whom 32 are women
 Of the 24 held over cases eight are l. w w. of various nationaHties, mostly Films and Poles, and Is are mem bers of the Federation of Union of Russian workers, as to whose de portation the department of labor has not decided.
 Preliminary hearings had been completed today for 60 of those taken in raids this month, the process haV- ing been retarded by the refusal oi some reds. includ ng Gregory Vein stein, friend of Trotsky and reAted master mind'' of communists iii the United States, to answer questions unless counsel were present.

 Yesterday Attorney Burton took the case to Inspector Clark and asked him what was to be done with the families of those men who have been sent to Russia. Minuk is now held in Hartford under $10,000 bonds and Clark agreed that pending the final word from Secretary Redfleld he would release the man if he could put up $1,000 bond and two sureties.
 It is expected that it will be some time before a decis on in the case is handed down by the secretary at Washington and until that time it ap- pears that all deportation of Reds with families will be stopped.

 NEW CRATER
 LESS VIOLENT
(Continued from Page one.)

Unique in the annals of the dis aster is the experience of the family of Professor Francisco Riveros of Barranca Nueva. The earthquake opened great chasm in the earth in which their home was engulfed. For more than a week members of the family have been living in the bot tom of this abyss at least 40 feet below the surface of the earth. Sur viving neighbors have been lowering them food and water at the imminent risk of dislodging rocks which might fall and crush those beneath. Belief is expressed that rain or new shocks would mean the deaths of those inn prisoned in the gulf.
