 FOR ISLANDER

In denial of the charge that Ado1ph SteinfeId was of rowing disposition, Attorney T. F. Steiber told 8 jury in the Superior court today that the man who is suing Jacob Wurtzel of this city for islander is a steady worker.

Judge Carl Eos ter, counsel for WurtzeI, denied his client had accused Steinfe1d of being a thief. He said Steinfeld had not been slandered and was not entitled to damages. The suit is for S20OO The case went to the jury late this afternoon.

Fear Judge Will Free
 Radicals
Immigration Authorities Consult U. s. Attorney
 on Appeal.
BURDEN OF PROOF
 IS UPON ALIENS

New York, Jan. 15-Fears that a decision of Federal Judge Knox that extremists held in deportation proceedings must be released on bail immediate ly would prevent deportations, caused the immigration au- thorities to consult the United States attorneys office today in regard to an appeal from the decision.
 Authorities at Ellis Island expressed the belief that if aliens were released before they had been examined by immigration inspectors it would be impossible to prove in many cases that they should be deported and con- sequently many taken in recent raids would have to be released.
 In behalf of Byron H. Uhl, acting commissioner at the island, it was ex- plained that he had not failed to obey the orders of his superiors in regard to admitting radicals to bail.
 Percy A. Baker, superintendent at the island, said that deportation war rants provided that aliens may" be admitted to bail, but that the court had interpreted this as mandatory Throughout the deportation proceed 1ngs, MT. Baker said, MT. Uhl had been following the orders of the de- partment of labor and the practice of years.

Trolley Service Is Discon- tinued Because of
 Jitneys

Salem, Mass, Jan. 15-Thirty thou sand persons who usually ride to bus mess in trolley cars crowded into motor buses or walked in the near zero atmosphere today. All local lines of the eastern Massachusetts Street Railway here and a large part of the interurban service of that com- pany to this city were discontinued at midnight, the public trustees of the road having refused to operate the cars in this vicinity longer in the face of continued losses of revenue alleged to be due to the competition of jit- neys.
 Conditions were similar to those of Dec. Is when the trustees stopped virtually all service in the Salem dis trict for 24 hours until the authori- ties of this city, Beverly and Pea body had voted to withdraw jitney 1i- censes. Operation of the jttneys was resumed here within few days however. when the city council had endorsed a petition for 8 special cleo ton to decide whether their previous action <sl revoking the licenses should be upheld.

 BOLSHEvIk ARMIES
Allied Governments Should Be Called on By United States to Give Some of Surplus Military Supplies to the Poles.

Washington, Jan. 15-Gen- ral revival of war in Europe If Poland is not able to with stand the Russian Bolsheviki is not improbable" General Bliss, who was a member of the American peace delegation, to- day told the House Ways and Means Committee.
 Poland Is the only bulwark against Bolshevism," said General Bliss, who appeared before the conn mittee to discuss the proposed loan Of o,OOO,ooO for food relief in Europe.
 Military experts are of the "grow- ing opinion" that "the Moscow gov- ernment will turn toward Poland,' General Bliss said, adding that the Russians outnumbered the Poles, and were we'll trained, well equipped and well led, while the Poles were "poor- ly equipped as to everything."
 The allied governments, General Bliss continued, should be called upon by the United States to give some oA their surplus military supplies to the Poles, if this country establishes $15O,000,000 of credits for European countries to buy food here.
