DEP0RTEEs GET TASTE
OF BOLSHEv|k LIFE
Undesirables Sent to Russia
Some Months Ago Are Put to
Work by Soviet Authorities.

The state department learned from
sources 1t regards as official that the
Russian bolshevik sympathizers and
undesirables deported to Russia some
months ago by the United States were
at once put to work by the soviet
authorities.
They were unwilling to perform the
tasks assigned to them by the bolshe-
vik officials and were informed that
there was in existence in Russia ma
chinery, operated by the extraordinary
commission, for dealing with such
cases, an institution that deals prima-
rily with inclpient rebellion and other
movements dangerous to boishevisn.
Most Of the deportees thereupOn
were set to work repairing the rail-
road beds, but some escaped under as
sumed names, while others are under
arrest and In the hands Of the extra0r.
binary commission for punishment.
ACCORDING to intelligence received Dy
the government, most Of the atrocities
IN Russia have been committed by Or
at the instigatl0n Of the extraordinary
commission, which is characterized by
officials here as high handed and
secret tribunal
Until these advices were received
there was doubt as to the exact fate
Of the deportees, who sailed from
America In seemingly high spirits and
many Of whom expected to be received
by the bOlshevik authorities as mar
tyrs and heroes. Among the dep0rtee'
were Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman.

ONE Or eaEA1 MRsL

The second Of the series of lectures
given under the auspices of the At
lantic City Y. NC. A, in Wesley NJ.
E. Church, will be held this Friday
evening, Feb. 20. The lecturer is
Prof. Henry p. Miller, principal of the

stitution in 1881" which will be illus
trated with s~tereopticon views. The

tage OF by all who can, for their edu-
cational value.
The lecture last Friday night on the
topic, THE Trial of Christ from a
Lawyers Standpoint" by Judge Allen
B. Endicott, was extremely interesting
and was thoroughly appreciated by
those present. The speaker, who is
a noted counsellor at law, narrated
the trial of Christ from beginning to
end and produced evidence from the
scriptures to prove that the Hebrew
arrest and trial of the Master was il
legal throughout, according to Jewish
laws and customs, and that He was
executed without having been convict
ed of any crime.

More than 88 per cent of the homes
in New York City are rented. In the
Borough of Manhattan the percentage
rises to 81.
Nor is this condition limited to the
Metropolis. 1t is common to most
cities. The people of the United
States who live in rented homes are in
excess of "a per cent of the population,
according to the latest government re-
turns. About As per cent own the
houses In which they live.
These statistics have been collected
for the survey of city life now being
conducted by the Interchurch World
Movement to provide a practical pro-
gram for closer cooperation of Protes-
tant Churches in America. And the
survey already reveals n of the
gravest problems now confronting the

LOCAL MERCHANT APPEALS
IN GAS BILL CASE,

Walter A. Ennis, the hardware mer-
chant, takes exception to the bill rem
dered him by the Pleasantville Gas Co.
for the month of January. For De-
cember his bill was $3.05 and it rarely
ran higher, so that when his January
bill leaped up to $27.27 he Immediately
thought something was wrong. He
took the matter up with the Company,
who tested the meter and declared it
correct. Pending an investigation by
the Public Utilities Commission and
upon the advice of the President of
the company and in order to avoid his
family inconvenience he paid the bill
under protest. His next move will de-
pend upon the report he receives from
the Public Utilities Commission.

One preacher in a p~astorate Of 10

The present generation Of the city,
the survey reveals, is a generation of
wanderers because of the growing
number of rented homes and the rising
rents. AS a result, the family church
Is becoming an urban rarity. The fam
lily in which the father Is a founder of
the Church he attends, married to a
member Of the congregation, and with
children baptized by the family min

WENT TO CALL AND
FOUND FRIEND DEAD.

Calling Sunday afternoon for a chat
with John Bidby, his lifelong friend,
Arthur Booth was shocked to find him
dead, seated in a chair in the living
room of his home on Lorraine Avenue.
The body was badly ~decomposed and
the conclusion was given that he had
been dead for several days, a victim
of heart trouble as he sat alone in
the house.
Mrs. Bidby is somewhere on the
hjeh seas en- route to England to visit
relatives whom she has not seen since
before the war. Her husband, who
was sixty, had been in excellent
health when she left him for the trip.
Bidby was a carpenter. He had
made his home on the mainland for
many years.
