OLD GLORY FLIES OVERHEAD
'We're Coming Back," Says
Berkman; "To Hell With
U. S. ," Another Roars.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21. The United
States army transport Buford, "Ark
of the Soviet," sailed before dawn to
day with a cargo of anarchists, com
munists and radicals banned from
America for conspiring against its
government.
The ship's destination was hidden
in sealed orders but the 249 passen
gers it carried expect to be landed
at some far northern port giving ac
cess to soviet Russia.
"Long live the revolution in Amer
ica," was chanted defiantly by the
motley crowd on the decks of the
6teel-gray troopship as she churned
her way past the Statue of Liberty.
Now and then they cursed in chorus
at the United States and the men
who had cut short their propaganda
here. Not until he Buford steamed
out of the narrows between Forts
Hamilton and Wadsworth did the din
cease. Over their heads, whipping
in the wind, the Stars and Stripes
floated from the masthead.
None Knows Destination.
The autocrats of all the 'Russians
on the transport were Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman, his
boon companion for 30 years. With
them were 245 -nen and two women,
Ethel Bernstein and Dora Lipkin.
None knew where they would debark
and even Captain C. A. Hitchcock,
commander of the veteran transport,
was no better off. At daybreak to
morrow, Colonel Hilton, commanding
the troops on board as guards, will
hand the skipper his .instructions.
Only a few high officials of "the war
and labor departments know the
chip's destination.
The voyage will last 18 days un
less it is prolonged by unfavorable
weather. The presumption is that
the Buford will land at Hanme, Hel
singfors, or Abo in Finland, which
are connected by rail with Bielo-
Osporoff on the Russian frontier. It
was intimated in official quarters
that arrangements have been made
with the Finnish government to per
mit the passage of the Russians
through that country.
Event Unique in History.
The transfer from Ellis Island to
the Buford of the agitators who have
preached death and destruction, was
an event unique in the annals of this
nation. Seized in raids in all parts
of the country, they were mobilized
here for deportation. An elaborate
screen of secrecy was thrown about
the preparations for sending them
away.
It was in the darkest hours of
night that an army tug drew up at
the dock at the immigration station
to take aboard the undesirables for
the seven-mile journey down the bay
to the Buford. Two dozen soldiers
armed with rifles and as many immi
gration inspectors carrying night
sticks patrolled the shores of Ellis
Island until the tug arrived at5:15
A. M. The reds were marched single
file between two lines of guards from
the immigration barracks to the boat
landing, each carrying his or her
baggage. A score of agents of the
department of justice circulated
among the Russians. These agents
and the soldier guards on the island
went on board the tug with the de
portees and took them to the trans
port. Anarchists ArfJaDowneast.
A revenue cutter and two other
army tugs formed an escort for the
the reds and one tug lay alongside
while they were being transferred to
the Buford to prevent attempts by
those reluctant to leave to swim the

Lieutenant-Commander Read De
clares That ut No Time Was
Crew Ignorant of Position.
MOBILE, Ala., Dec. 21. The trans
Atlantic naval seaplane NC-4, missing
for several hours yesterday after
leaving Galveston on a non-stop
flight to Mobile, arrived here at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Because of
fog the plane was forced to descend
and spend 12 hours at Grand Island.
La., 50 miles south of New Orleans.
Lieutenant-Commander A. C. Read,
who Commanded the NC-4 in its flight
across the Atlantic and who is in
charge of the plane on its present
navy recruiting flight, said on land
ing here that much trouble was ex
perienced yesterday because of the
fog which set in soon after leaving
Galveston. The seaplane, he said, was
brought to the surface four times, but
at no time did members of the crew
lose their position. The landing at
Grand Island was made because it
was considered inadvisable to attempt
to make Mobile in the fog.
' Commander Read and his crew se
lected Grand Island as a place to
spend the night because their maps
showed a town there. The place was
destroyed by a tidal wave In 1893.
nothing now remaining except a fish
ing camp and a lighthouse where the
NC-4's party spent the night.
"We thought that we were landing
at a town," one of the officers laugh
ingly remarked, "but found the place
had not existed for 26 years."
The trans-Atlantic plane will com
plete its recruiting flight tomorrow
with a trip to Pensacola.
IRISH ATTACK DEPLORED
Archbishop's Expressions of Re
gret Read in Dublin Churches.
DUBLIN. Dec. 21. A letter from
Archbishop Walsh condemning the
attempt on the life of Viscount
French, the viceroy, was read in all
the Catholic churches in the Dublin
diocese today. In his letter the arch
bishop said:
"The attempt at assassination of
the viceroy, which startled anrt
shocked the city yesterday, calls for
the melancholy protest of'every Irish
man who loves his country and who
hopes to see the present rule of coer
cive government in Ireland brought
to a final close.
"Is there any rational man capable
of deluding himself into the belief
that such a method of seeking redress
for the mlsgoternraent of this country
is likely to help the efforts of the
righteous men who are working earn
estly with the single purpose of re
establishing in our country a reign
of liberty and justice?"

when the vessel was on its- way to
Europe. Members of the crew were
caught gambling and refuted to quit

Campaign to Put Commander tn
White House Denied by Brigadier-General
Dawes.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21. (Special.)
General Pershing shows little or no
concern over his own political future.
He is not a candidate for the presi
dential nomination either republican
or democratic and the soft pedal was
officially applied to anything that
savored of politics during his stay in
Chicago.
This statement was maCi by one
who undoubtedly is as close to Gen
eral Pershing as any man in the
United States:
"Of course, men have talked of Gen
eral Pershing as a presidential possi
bility. It is only natural. But Gen
eral Pershing is not a candidate tn
any sense of the term.
"Some of tis old neighbors at Lin
coln. Neb., some time ago organized
a 'Pershing for President club" and
that Is as far as any concerted action
has gone.
"The general himself has. not al
tered the position he took Dubllcly
when asked for a statement affect-
ing his own peUtical status; he said ' their executive committee, explained
he was not in politics and would not ! further tonight their reasons for re
be so long as he remained In the i fusing to participate in the govern
army. He has not deviated from that j ment's plan for settling their bltuinl-
determination."
In some quarters there was a re
port that the Pershing campaign had
been opened formally and that Brtg-adier-General
Charles G. Dawes was
to be the Pershing campaign mana
ger. "Absolutely wrong," Mr. Dawes said
yesterday. "I will not be the mana
ger of anybody's campaign. I am out
of politics."
That there will be continuous talk
connecting General Pershing's name
with the republican nomination from
this time forward Is believed in polit
ical circles to be a reasonable fore
cast. Up to this time, however. It Is
learned on the highest authority that
nothing has been attempted and there
is no prospect that General Pershing
will take any action personally that
would make him an active candidate
in any of the direct-primary states.

OBJECTION AGAIN ASSERTED
Government and Garfield
Strike Plans Held Different.
STATEMENT IS ISSUED
Question of Fixing Wages and
Prices to Be Settled at
Meeting Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Coal oper
ators of the United States, through
nous coal strike. Renewing the de
nials that previous agreements had,
bound them to accept the govern
ment's plan, they asserted that while
they were bound by and had agreed
to accept strike sttlement proposals
made by Dr. Garfield, formerly fuel
administrator, the government's pro
posals as accepted by the miners dif
fered vitally from those of the Gar
field plan.
duration Left Open.
The insistence of the operators on
the aland left open tonight the pos
sibility, it was held, that the com
mission named Saturday by President
Wilson and given by him power to
fix wages and prices of" coal neces
sary to sustain wages, might be un
able to function. The executive com
mittee did not say. however, that op
erators would stand aloof from the
commission in its investigations and
decision, but left the question open,
to be settled probably at a meeting
Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio, where a
general session of the scale commit
tee of the central competitive field
and other operators generally has
been called.
Attitude la Re-Stated.
The operators in a formal state
ment tonight said:
"In the light of the statement of
Attorney-General Palmer yesterday.
in which he says that it would be an
amazing repudiation of their own
statements if the operators do not ac
quiesce In the plan which their offi
cial representatives have repeatedly
agreed to. In the settlement of the
strike, the bituminous coal operators
feel impelled to restate their attitude
so that It may be clearly appreciated
by the public.
"Attorney-General Palmer, in his
statement of yesterday, asserted that
the operators had agreed to the
memorandum of the attorney-general
and John L. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, laying down the terms of agree
ment for settlement of the coal strike.
The fact is that the operators never
learned of the existence of that agree
ment until after it had been pre
sented to miners at the Indianapolis
conference of December 1.
Proposal Not Accepted.
"The operators did accept the pro
posal of the government, presented
through Dr. Garfield, former fuel ad
ministrator, and referred to in Presi
dent Wilson's letter of December 6.
Under the terms of this proposal the
mine controversy was to be settled on
the basis of the five principles an
nounced by Dr. Garfield. The appli
cation of one of these principles de
termined the 14 per cent advance
which was granted the miners. The
Garfield proposal further provided for
the establishment of a board with
advisory powers only.
"The operators still stand by the
acceptance of the Garfield proposal.
The president's letter of December 6
i referred specifically to It and it
seemed clear to the minds of the oper
ators that It was the intent of the
president that the Garfield proposal
was to be used as the basis of settle
. ment of the wage controversy.
"The operators never have been con
; suited in regard to the memorandum
which was drawn by the attorney
' ceneral in conference with President
' Lewis and Secretary Green of the
miners' organization."
Radlfnl I llf trrcin-r AMrrtrd.
"The memorandum goes far be
yond the Garfield proposal to which
' they assented." .
The operators point out the fol
lowing radical differences between
the Garfield proposal and the Palmer-
Lewis memorandum, which was ac-
: cepted at Indianapolis,
"1. The Garfield proposal would
have established a board with ad-
, vlsory powers only. The Palmer-
, Lewis memorandum agreement would
establish a commission not advisory
I in character, but with full power def
initely to fix coal prices, wages, dif
ferentials and to determine the de
tails of working conditions within
: each district covered by the memo
randum.
"2. The questions of differentials
and internal working conditions in
the many bituminous coal fields af
fected by this memorandum are so
involved and complicated that a com
plete review. In order to make an
Intelligent decision, would be an in
terminable task. These matters are
of vital importance to the coal in-

NEW PLANET SUSPECTED
Irregular Movements of Neptune
Are to Be Analyzed.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21. A new planet
was believed to be responsible for
irregularities in the motion of the
planet Neptune. Professor Harold
Jacoby of Columbia university an
nounced tonight. It was supposed to
be about the same size as the earth,
but farther away from the sun than
any other planet.
Professor Jacoby said that astron

BAXDON. Or.. Dec. 21. (Special.)
Hope was abandoned here tonight
that any of the 31 men missing since
the tank steamer J. A. Chanslor waa
wrecked three days ago would bo
found alive. Constant patrolling of
the beach last night and today failed
to result In the finding of any more
bodies.
Of the 38 men on board the Chans
lor when she was wrecked only three.
Including Captain A. A Sawyer,
reached shore alive. Bodies of four
others were found on the beach. The
other 31. It was universally conceded,
also were drowned.
A report of last night from the
scene of the wreck that signs of ap
parent life had been discovered on
board the unsunken portion of the
wreck was fully exploded today by
Captain Johnson of the coast guard
crew, who after several careful ex
aminations from shore declared that
the only movement was the flapping
of the searchlight canvas.
Wreckage Wtk Ashore.
Captain Johnson also said that a
large" portion of the shell of the for
ward part of the tanker had worked
off the rock today and come asnore.
He believed that the vssel's machin
ery had gone to the bottom with the
after, part of the steamer when she
first struck. A portion of the shell
of this section was afloat today more
that a mile north of Cape Blanco.
Exact description was received
here today of Francis Jackson, the
young assistant engineer, who was
the son of C. S. Jackson. Portland
publisher, and special efforts were
ordered to be put under way to find
his body. The bodies of the four men
recovered were being held here pend
ing Instructions from the relatives of
those who had been identified, as to
their disposal. An identification card
j found
in the pocket of Edward A.
Rose, one of the four whose bodies
were recovered, showed that he was
25 years old and had enlist d in the
navy In 1913.
t'iiptulnn Wife at Bedalde.
Mrs. A. A. Sawyer, wile of Captain
Sawyer, arrived here tonight to be at
r the bedside of her husband in the
hospital, where ne was laacn aner
being washed ashore. It was said at
the hospital that Captain Sawyer was
suffering from congestion of the
lungs, due to exposure, and that he
probably would not be able to leave
i the hospital for some days to come.
1 Captain Johnson or uie coast guara
said that the Chanslor had struck on
j the extreme north point of Cape
I Blanco. The after part lay in about
45 feet of water and 400 leet Ifom
the beach. It was apparent, he said,
that the bottom had fallen out of the
after part when the. ship struck, and
that the machinery had gone to the
bottom, where it was doubtless still
i lying, notwithstanding that a portion
of the shell of that section had re
floated today. Gaptain Johnson
thought the prospect for salvage
work there was fair, and that some
of the bodies of the men who were in
that portion of the ship might yet be
found.
