ESQ EVICTION WRlTS
Fifty Of These Are New Ones Since
Last Sheriff

There are at the present time 80
writs of eviction against various house
holders in the city in the hands of
Sheriff Robert e. Lamberton, as com
pared with 700 at the first of the year.
OF these go writs, about fifty are
new ones and 200 are left over from
the administration of Sheriff Ransley
Most of the 200 have stays against
them, granted by the court upon appeal
of the hoIseholders.
Claude l.. Roth. counsel for the
sheriff, said today: every case will
have to stand upon its own merits
People must realize that the sheriff $
Office has very little leeway in execut
ing writs of the courts. The proper
place to appeal is directly to the
court"
In certain extreme cases, however,
such as illness, Mr.. Roth himself is
understood to be trying to have the
agents and landlords grant the tenants
more time.

st. Paul, Mfnn., Jan. 2.-Threc bill
lion dollars must he spent by the rail-
roads Of the United States within the
next few years to provide first class
passenger and freight facilities" was
I, declaration made by Howard Elliott,
president OF the Northern Pacific rail-
road, who came from New York for
conferences with prominent railroad
officials. "Difficult and serious as is
the plight of the railroads, and of the
owners Of $2O.OOO.O0OOOO worth Of
railroad property, 1t is not more seri-
GUS than the condition facing the
country" said Mr. Elliott
Transportation facilities must he
made available not only for the pres
ent volume Of business, but for the
increases that progressive nation
like the United States needs each year.
"Since the government took control
only 100000 new freight cars have
been bought, so that at the end Of
1910 there were not more than 3,4OO,.
600 freight cars in the cOuntry-sllght-
ly more than in 1915. 1t Is not too
much to say that probably $3,OOO,OOO,.
600 should be spent for cars, engines
and shop facilities by American rail-
roads within the next few years II the
cOnntry's transportation needs are to
be met"
Mr.. Elliott did not make any an
nOuncement regarding reports circu-
lated In railroad quarters here that
the leading roads Of the country were
planning to make important state
ments regarding broadened passenger
services when private ownership Is re-
stored. There have been reports that
schedules to the Pacific. via various
rOutes. are to be shortened. and that
trains dc luxe and extra fare trains
will be put into service.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Chicago Fed.
Grafton of Labor adopted two resolu-
tons of protest against the federal
raids against radicals on Jan. 2. One
declared the executive board suspect
ed these raids are part Of the g.
gantic plot to destroy organized labor
by the employers" and that among
those arrested were officials Of local
cigarmakers union and that the lat
ter's records had been seized. The sec
ond resolution declared the federal
agents acts were ''repressiOns resem-
bling czaristic methods in Russia"
The Department of Justice roundup
OF radicals will be y continuing one,
John 4. Creighton, special assistant
attorney general, said in announcing
that the government raids here had
bagged 224 persons for deportation
out of more than 800 arrested.
8 The Chicago Federation Of Labor,
which recently protested against de-
portation Of radicals, reported receipt
of communication of appreciation
from the Pacific Coast Labor League.
The Socialist party from its national
headquarters issued statement de-
ploring the raid against radicals. The
arrests were termed "the gravest blow
vet struck at the permanence Of Amer
lean institutions"
Neutrality-suspicious. of the Commun-
list and Communist Labor parties,
against whom the great raids by gov
eminent agents inuugurated Friday
night are directed, TO gain control Of
all labor organizations rs the means of
fOmenting revolution were revealed In
documents made public by the Depart
ment Of Justice. Assistant Attorney
General Caravan made public the doc
unents which were seized In several
cities with the desire, he said, that the
American people learn 1.-The real pur-
poses Of these menacing groups and
the nature Of the poison they were
spreading.
Department agents In many cities
are continuing the work of running
down and interrogating members of
the two organizations. Officials said
1t was distinctly surprising that each
party numbered SO many American
citizens in its membership. The party
rolls were said to carry the names Of
many persons well known In their re-
spettlve communities and American
citizens. Although there is no federal
law under which the American COM
munists can be dealt with, department
agents were not overlooking these.
There cases will be turned over to
state governments.

Washington, Jan. 3-The greatest
roundup Of radicals In the nations his
tory was conducted by the govern
ment. acting through Department Of
Justice agents In thirty-three cities,
stretching from coast to coast. Re-
ports indicated that more than 1900
members OF the communist and COM
munist labor parties. against whom
the raids were directed, were In GUS
tOdy, and department OF justice Off
cials expressed the opinion that tOnOr-
row would see twice that number be-
hind the lars.
Not alone was the roundup the lnrg-
est yet conducted by the government In
Its effort to rid the country of radical
ism. but In the view Of officials, II wax
the most thoroughly carried out. De.
pertinent OF Justice agents had been
instructed several days ago and the
move was begun ut given hour on
radical headquarters. whether In Port.
land, Me-, or In Portland. Ore.
Department OF Justice agents were
the goods" and that these directions
were carried out was evidenced In re-
ports. particularly from New York,
where the offices Of communist news
pnpers were raided. and from New
England, where considerable literature
prepared for dissemination by the two
parties was seized.
The primary object Of the raids. As.
sixtant Attorney General Garvan an
nOunced. was the obtaining Of evidence
upon which the Department Of Labor
might proceed with the deportation Of
undesirables.
The biggest bag Of radicals was
made In New York. where more than
500 have been arrested and sent to Fl.
liz Island. From dozen New Eng.
land cities 100 or more Of the COM
munIxts were gathered and In Detroit
the rniders found plentiful supply,
taking about no into custody. Chicago
