SHOOT HOTLY
 ATTACKS HIGH
 PRICE OF SUGAR
Says Dealers Are Profiteer- ing-65 Per Cent. of Crop
 Delivered.

Washington, Jan. 6-Retail dealers charging 22 cents a pound for sugar were attacked in the Senate today by Senator Shoot, Republican, Utah, who declared 'Ethey ought to be handled' by the attorney general.
 ''Sixty-five per cent of the beet su- gar crop has been delivered,'' Senator Smoot said, ''and if there is any hoarding the attorney-general should find out who is hoarding it and stop it. Here in Washington dealers are charging 22 cents and selling only two pounds at a time. There is no excuse for 1t. There is plenty of law to deal in drastic fashion with these profiteers and the people ought not to be forced to pay such prices.'
 Purchase of the remainder of the Cuban sugar crop, estimated at D. 50O,000 tons, to stabilize and reduce prices to the American consumer was urged, in a cablegram received from Rafael Montoro, Secretary to the President of Cuba, by Senator Nc Nary, Republican, Oregon. President Wilson has announced his decision not to make the purchase on the re- commendation of the sugar equa1iza- tion board.
 The cabIegram expressed regret that the United States had failed to secure the Cuban output, adding that the Cuban government had put forth every effort to conclude an agree ment with the American govern ment for the disposition of the en- tire output of the Cuban sugar for the year 1920.
 The cablegram was in response to an inquiry by Senator McNary, author of the recently enacted sugar bill.

 ALIEN ENEMIES PLAN OVERTHROW OF GOVT
PLAN TO CARRY OUT THEIR PLOT BY FORCE AND VIOLENCE WARNS SEN. LUSK-THESE ARE IN COMMUNIST
 PARTY ALONE

. New York, Jan. 6-More than 2O,OOO alien enemies in the Communist Party of New York state alone are openly organiz- ed for overthrow of the goy- ernment by force and violence under the direction of Bolshev- lst leaders in Russia, Senator Clayton R. Lusk, Chairman of the Joint Legislative Commit tee Investigating seditious ac- tlvltles declared today.
 In addition to these there are the communist Labor Party and "other revolutionary" organizations working actively to accomplish the same ends as well as many other bodies which agree with their principles and en- courage their activities without par tclpating openly in them, the Sena- tor said.
 While much has been done in the state or New York by federal, state ana local authorities to retard the revolutionary movement. it is impera-
 ~-@NS hC not De 1uHGd into sense of false security by exagger- ated statements of what has been ac- complished," Senator Lusk continued.
 Statements to the effect that inc backbone of the radical revolutionary movement is broken and that wa have reached the beginning of the de- cline Of organized rabid revolution arlsm throughout the country are ab- surd.
 'The arrests al9eady made in the state on the. charge of crinins1 anarchy and for deportation hardly scratch the surface of the situation. There are revolutionary organizations throughout all parts of the state,
 These organizations have been ner- mItted to reach such proportions that In my opinion the only way that they can be destroyed is for the loyal eisi. zens III each community to per such organization as is necessary and cooperate with the federal, state and local authorities in uncovering and prosecuting these traitors on much the same lines as they organized and worked during the war to discover and apprehend traitors and gave their support to the government in that crisis.''
 1ounSslOWn, O-, Jan- 6--TWenty- three alleged radicals were arrested here last night and early today in a continuation of the drive by federal agents.
 Among the prisoners are Danfei Dull and Clara c. Dull, said to be or ganizers of the communist labor party, and D. J. Metcalf, said to be an I. W. w. organizer. Federal agents said they were asking for more warrants and intimated that scores of additional arrests will be made.

No More Dep0rtati0ns
 Until Soviet Ark Lands
NEARLY 5000 RADICALS WILL BE TRIED IN DISTRICTS IN WHICH THEY
 WERE TAKEN

Washin gton, Jan. 6.---No further de- portation of radical aliens will be un- dertaken until the experiment with the transport Buford, the first soviet ark,' is completed, it was said today by Anthony Caminetti, commissioner general of immi grafton. The Buford is now en route to Northern Europe with 249 radical aliens. destined for Russia, but whether she will be per- mitted to land her passengers has not yet been determined. It is not possi- ble for the ship to go to Soviet Rus sia, and if the radicals are sent into that country they must be transported across one of the adjacent countries.
 The nearly 5000 radical aliens taken in the raids of the last few days will be tried by the department of labor in the districts in which tls>y were ar restesd and those ordered deported will be sent to New York.

 Fourteen men were held today at police headquarters. A number of others, arrested during the night were released after being questioned.
 Washington, Jan. 6-Federal agents are continuing to comb the country for radicals who are known to champion a movement to over throw the government. With means of escape shut off by a close watch of the Mexican and Canadian bor- ders, where some of the radicals were reported headed in an effort to evade the dragnet spread over the country to entrap members of the commun- fst and communist labor parties, the arrest of some of the prominent radi- cal leaders was expected momentarily.
 The department of justice has call ed upon congress for support in the campaign to rid the nation of syndi- calism by providing appropriations to meet the legal battle which is consid- cred inevitable when the government starts into the final stages Of depor- tation proceedings.
