half-mile to the shore of Staten
Island.
While all the anarchists had pro- :
fessed joy at the thought of return
ing to Russia, a few of them wept
and most of them seemed downcast
as they stepped on board the tug for
the grim journey through the dark
ness of the harbor to the troopship.
The air was cold and a biting wind
was blowing as they huddled on deck.
"Good-bye, America." sobbed Miss
Bernstein, as the tug plowed past
the Statue of Liberty with her lighted
torch held proudly aloft. The girl
was leaving behind Samuel Lipman.
her fiance, facing a 20-year term in
the Atlanta penitentiary for violat
ing the espionage law.
Bfrkmin Defiant to Lafit.
Berkman was defiant to the last
and threatened secret service men as
he stepped from the soil of the United
States.
"We're coming back and we'll get
you." he muttered, embellishing his
statement with curses.
"To hell with America," came in a
deep bass voice from the anarchists'
lug as it passed a boat crowded with
more department of justice men.
The chant of "Long Live the Revo
lution in the United States" was
started by Peter Blanky, general sec
retary of the Union of Russian Work
ers, as the Buford got under way at
6:15 o'clock. Proof of membership in
this organization, which was formed
here in 1907 by a Russian who is now
thief of police of Petrograd, caused
most of those in the party today to
be deported. Its constitution advo
cates violence.
I Imh 4-oldmnn Vnconcerned.
Miss Ooldnian was so unconcerned
that she slept until after midnight.
although the rest of the party re
mained up all night. All were noti
fied immediately after dinner last
night that they would be deported
before daylight. They had not ex
pected it so quickly. Despite elab
orate precautions. Harry Weinberger,
counsel for Berkman and Miss Gold
man, learned of the plans, and made
two Ineffectual attempts to visit the
island. -The bureau of immigration
considered another visit useless be
cause he had said faTewell to his
clients. So had Mrs. Stella Ballen

had expreBied a desire to be deported

whom she kissed in public when he
was surrendered for deportation.
Anthony Camlnettl, commissioner
general of Immigration, took personal
charge of preparations at the island
during the night and accompanied
the tug down the bay. Representa
tives Johnson and Siegel. members of
the house committee on immigration,
also were there, as was Krancls P.
Garvan, assistant attorney-general,
and William J. Flj nn, chief of the sec
ret service bureau of investigations
of the department of Justice.
"Commune" Hastily Formed.
As soon as they were informed that
they would be out of the country be
fore dawn, the male anarchists at the
Island formally organized the "First
Soviet Anarchistic Commune" of
America and elected Berkman "grand
commissary." He bossed the prepa
rations in the large detention room
end no monarch was ever more read
ily obeyed. All stood when he en
tered the room.
The members of the commune
obeyed him so promptly that guards
transmitted their orders through him.
In khaki shirt, with kliakt trousers

commune.
"Think! Think! Think! American
women," It read. "We came to this
country with love for the liberty upon
which the country was founded. We
honestly labored and devotedly in
vested all we possessed for the wel
fare of all, as we understood it best.
Yet the government of the United
.States is going to deport us. Well,
the only thing we ask is that our
children and wives be not deprived of
their fathers and husbands and be
granted permission to go with them
to soviet Russia."
The three women will be treated
as first-class passengers occupying
one large cabin. The men are in
three separate compartments. Ten
immigration inspectors will help sol
diers guard them. All will be con
fined to their quarters except for a
brief dailv exercise Deriod on deck.
! Red Cross nurses went along to act
as matrons.
More to Be Deported.
Officials of the department of jus
tice expressed pleasure at speeding
fruition of plans to rid the country
of anarchists. These plans were laid
when bombs were sent to officials
and prominent citizens in June. In
country-wide raids on November 7,
anarchists numbering 290 were ar
rested and 239 of these were de
ported today.
Other "soviet arks" are likely to
leave in the near future for the de
partment of justice has a card index
of 60,000 radicals who are under
scrutiny and it is the .announced in
tention of the authorities to de
port all who are proved to advocate
the overthrow of the government by
violence.
Sixty anarchists who have been
ordered deported were expected from
Detroit for the Buford, but the train
orders were cancelled because to have
awaited its arrival would have de
layed the sailing. Today's shipload
contained men arrested in New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Bridgeport, New
Haven, Hartford, Ansonia and Water
bury, Conn.; Cleveland, Akron and
Youngstown, O. ; Baltimore, Chicago,
Detroit and San Francisco.
In a farewell statement signed by
Goldman and Berkman, they ex
pressed their gratitude to the govern
ment for giving them "the honor and
glory of bringing to Russia the
knowledge of the outrages and cruel
ties practiced upon American men
and women because of their opin
ions." "We, the first American political
refugees," the statement said, "win
yet live to see America truly brave
and truly free, and we will be recalled
by this land to rejoice with her peo
ple in their triumphant achieve
ments." Representative Siegel, who accom
panied the other members of the
house committee on immigration on
the Buford as far as the three-mile
limit, said he was surprised at the
excellence of the arrangements on
board.
"I might say they are traveling de
luxe," he remarked.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21. The deporta
tion of Emma Goldman and her de
voted companion. Alexander Berkman.
ends a joint career of 30 years in the
United States, during which they
preached the overthrow of govern
ment by violence. Berkman spent 16
years and Goldman three years in jail,
but they were never punished for the
part their teachings played in at
tacks by others on life and property.
Berkman served 14 years for shoot
ing Henry Clay Frlck and two years
for urging young men to abstain from
registering for the draft early in the
war. Miss Goldman was in prison
two years for opposing conscription
and one year for inciting to riot.
Berkman was never brought to trial
on 'an Indictment for murder in con
nection with the preparedness dav
bomb outrage in San Francisco. Miss
Goldman was acquitted of illegal dis
tribution of birth-control literature.
Their joint activities as publishers
of the anarchist magazines, "Mother
Earth" and "The Blast." suppressed
during the war. combined with their
addresses at anarchists' meetings,

They were suspected of receiving
German money to oppose prepared

United States entered the war.
They co-operated with German spies
in endeavoring to promote a revolu
tion in India during the war.
They were the pioneer radicals In
the United States. Now there are 60,

provide $15,000 or $25,000 bail in caab
or liberty bonds. Yet fines of $10,
000 each for opposing the draft were
unpaid. They had no property, they
said.
Deportation I. oner Agitated.
For more than ten years their de
portation has been agitated and at
times seemtd near, but no formal
proceedings for this purpose were
instituted until the alarming radical
activities of J919, including the Se
attle and Winnipeg general strikes,
the sending of bombs through the
malls to Attorney-General Palmer and
other prominent men, the formation
of branches of the communist party
and plans for anarchistic demonstra
tions on the anniversary of the for
mation of the soviet republic of Rus
sia, which were frustrated by country-wide
raids in November. These
raids made a total of 697 anarchists
seized by the United States on de
portation proceedings in the last two
years.

youth, evoluted into the bolshevik!

tucked into high Russian boots, he
was the central figure in a merry
group that awaited the tug. They
played banjos and guitars and sang
the "Internationale." All their con
versations was in Russian.
Berkman said he expected to go
to Petrograd and co-operate with
Lenine and Trotzky in governing Rus
sia. He said his uncle, ' N. Starlck,
was the director of all the country's
railroads and also head of the Moscow
soviet,
Berkman Appears Happy.
"Why should I not be happy?" he
remarked as he tied up a box of
oranges which was put on board the
transport wun canned goods, con-
densed milk and chocolate and great
quantities of other food supplies that
the whole soviet took with it, "I am
going- among friends."
Most of the members of the com
mune had ample clothing of their
own, but the immigration officers
took care that no one should be im
periled by the rigorous weather of
Russia. Those who had not properly
equipped themselves were supplied
with complete outfits from the army
stores.
The commune took nearly $500,000
in American money with it. Berkman
said the cash possessions averaged
$2000. Most of it was in greenbacks.
Miss Goldman said her plans after
she reached Russia were indefinite
other than that she would imme
diately organise the "Russian Friends
of American Freedom" to carry on
propaganda in the United States.
Dire Predictions Made.
"This government has signed its
death warrant In these deportations,"
she said. "This Is the beginning of
the end of the United States govern
ment. I am not going to stop my
work as long as life rests with me.
The czar never resorted to such meth
ods as the United States is using in
this first deportation of political
agitators."
A similar prediction of dire results
for this country was made by Arthur
Katsrs, another leader of the Russian
union arrested in New York.
"The anarchist movement will be
carried on in the United States, al
though the Intellectual heads, the real
top of the movement, are now being
" sent away," he said.
Miss Goldman and the other two
women were in deep black and none
of the three exhibited the defiance
that characterized some of the male
anarchists. The trip was regarded as
a lark by the youngest deportee,
Thomas Buchahoff, 17 years of age.
nephew of Bianky. who organized a
branch of the Union of Russian
Workers at Freeport, Long Island.
Farewell Meaaaa-ea Left.
The soviet left many Individual
messages of farewell and a joint tele
gram was sent to the department of
labor asking American women to re
flect on the separation of deportees
from wives. It was signed by Alex-

Goldman 49 Tram of Age.

Berkman 50. She was born In Kovno.
Russia, and In early childhood re
moved with her parents to East Prus
sia. When 15 years old she came to
the United States and started working
In clothing factories in Rochester,
N. Y.
Recently asked who her relatives
were Miss Goldman replied: "I have
children all over the United States."
In 1887 when 17 years old, she was
married in Rochester to Jacob A.
Kersner, who came from Russia in
1882 and was naturalized two years
later. In 1909 his citizenship was re
voked because he was not 21 when
naturalized and had not been five
years in the United States. The mar
riage ceremony was performed by a
schochet a slayer of animals for
kosher meat. Two years later the
Kersners were divorced by a rabbi
according to the Jewish rite.
Kersner seems then to have passed
out of Miss Goldman's life entirely,
for announcement in court during her
final fight against deportation that
he had died this year took her by sur
prise. It was ou a claim that mar
riage to him made her a citizen that
her legal efforts to remain In this
country were based.
