RUSSIANS REFUSE
DEPORTED REDS
Only Three Permitted to En-
ter, Says Telegram;
Crosses Frontier
TERIJOKI, Jan 20 (By the As
soeiated Press.) The bands of bol-
sheviki and anarchists deported from
the United States are aafely across
the Russian frontier, but whether all
of the party will remain safe in soviet
Russia is a question, to be determined
by the bolsheviki..
Hardly had the last of them passed
over the border yesterday than a be
lated telegram reached the Finnish
military officials in"'cnarge of the
transfer announcing that the soviet
governmcnt had decided to permit
only three deportees to enter.' , '
Their names have not been made
public, but those favored are believed
to be" Emma Goldman, Alexander
Berkman and Peter Bianskl.
The telegram 'is incomprehensible
in view of the fact that delegation
including the wife of Maxim Gorky
came out to receive the exiles and
elaborate preparations had been made
to welcome them. . .
The deportees, with baggage, rudg j special efforts to get morel of the
ed through deep snow, laughing and . laboring men to take advantage of the
sinking revolutionary songs. Cheers ' library.
