Anarchists Likely To Be

3ooks Teaching Anarchy
Found in Harlem Public
Library, Says Siegel
The little tug which plies between !
he Battery and Ellis Island will leave
ta wharf at the foot of Broadway ?
romptly at 11 o'clock this morning,
rrying Emma Goldman and Alexander
crkman, anarchists, on the first lap of \
heir long journey to Russia. Accord- !
..g to Federal officials, it will be the
st time Miss Goldman and Berkman |
?ill set foot on the mainland of the :
"??ited States, where for years they
tave preached anarchist propaganda.
Intimations that a surprise is in
tore for the anarchists when they ar- j
ive at the island were made yesterday j
iy Byron H. Uhl, Acting Commissioner i
' Immigration. ?
"1 understand the government has I
omething up its sleeve, but I don't
now just what it is" he said. Other
.Ticials declared they believed the
>rder deporting Miss Goldman and
Jerkman calls for their immediate
transfer to a ship bound for Russia.
Destination In Question
Differences of opinion have arisen
between Mr. Uhl and Harry Weinber?
ger, counsellor the anarchists, relative
?o what part of Russia the two aliens
re to be sent. Mr. Weinberger dis
losed a telegram from Anthony Cami
:ietti, Commissioner of Immigration,
tating that Miss Goldman and Berk?
man would be went to Soviat Russia.
"I have been promised b. more than
one government official that they will
be delivered to Bolshevik officials,"
said Mr. Weinberger. "It would mean
their murder to deliver them into the
hands of anti-Bolshevik forces."
Mr. Uhl contended the anarchists
cannot be sent to Soviet Russia be?
cause this government has not recog
v.7.e? the Soviet government. "The law
provides for deportation to the coun?
tries from whence the aliens came," he
said. "They can be deported regard
ess of changps of government."
Mr. Weinberger said he still had
hopes of obtaining writs of habeas
corpus, which would act as a stay
against the deportation. He said he
would contend that Miss Goldman is a''
American citizen through marriage.
Berkman's defense is he has ceased to
be an anarchist.
Anarchistic Teachings Found in Library
Representative Isaac Siegel, after a
trip to Ellis Island yesterdu. . declared
he had discovered how anarchists aro
made. Mr. Siegel is a member of the
House Congressional Committee ap
pointed to investigate conditions at the
Island.
"Books in our public libraries help
to make anarchists," he said. "I found
a boy on the Island?Thomas Buhoka
nob, seventeen years old, a native of
Russia, who came here seven years
??go. He was educated in, Pub:ic School
38. He read anarchist books out of
the Harlem Public Library. Then he
helped circulate Emma Goldman's
'Mother Earth.' After that he went to
Greenpoint, where he organized Rus?
sians who could not speak English and
truight them what he had learned
about anarchy.
"He told me he did not believe in
the Constitution, in any form of gov?
ernment or in God."
Mr. Siegel said the committee would
I meet in Washington on Monday, when

Ettinger Denies Desire
To Defy City's Authority
Ridicules Hirshfield's Claim
School Board Inquiry Is Not
Based on Politics
Dr. William L. Ettinger, Superintend?
ent of Public Schools, yesterday ridi?
culed the contention of Commissioner
of Accounts Hirshfield that his pro?
posed Investigation of the accounts and
finances of the Board of Education was
intended to enhance the efficiency of
the department and was not based on
political motives. Dr. Ettinger denied
that in advising Henry R. M. Cook,
auditor of the Board of Education, not
to obey the original subpoena of Mr.
Hirshfield to testify in the proposed in?
vestigation he was animated by a desire
to defy th? authority of the city. Re?
ferring to the action of the Court of
Appeals ordering Mr. Cook to testify,
Dr. Ettinger said:
"I have not sought to prevent any
investigation of our department which
the city sought. The only thing I
challenged was what seemed to me i
the principle of dual control of our |
finances, which the proposed investiga- |
tion seemed to suggest. I have always i
been under the impression that we were
under control of the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment and not of the Com?
missioner of Accounts. I am glad now
that the courts have decided the mat?
ter, and we are only too willing to
abide by the law. We are not, afraid
of any investigations."
Referring to a statement by Mr.
Hirshfield to the effect that the de?
cision of the Court of Appeals "breaks
the grip whih the secret system in tho |
inner circles of the department had on ?
city schoo.s and city funds," Dr. Et- I
tinker said that it proves that Com?
missioner Hirshfioid is not approaching
his investigation in a fair and open
manner but has beforehand condemned
the department.
"As far as any inner circles in our
department are concerned," said Dr. Et?
tinger, "I have only occupied my office
for one year, and it is hardly possible
that I wou.d be initiated into these
'inner circles' in so short a space of
time."

U. S. Heiress Asks
More Cash So She
Can Marry Prince
French Officer's Income in
Polish Army Inadequate,
Says Frances Lawrence in
Appeal to N. Y. Court
Because the income of Prince Andre
Poniatowski amounts to only 20,000 j
francs ($4,000) a year, Miss Frances
Alice Willing Lawrence, his American
financ?e, through Stewart & Shearer,
her attorneys, petitioned the Surro?
gate's Court yesterday to increase her
allowanc. from the estate of her father
so she can maintain herself and hus?
band in a fitting manner.
Prince Poniatowski is the son of
Prince Andre Poniatowski, who mar?
ried Miss Elizabeth Sperry, of San
Francisco. He, his two brothers and
his ather fought in the French army,
and the prince, who is to marry Miss
Lawrence, is now a lieutenant in the
First Regiment of Polish artillery.
Miss Lawrence, who ?s nineteen years
old. is living with her mother, MrB.
Francis C. Lawrence (formerly Susan
Willing), in Paris.
Mies Lawrence in her petition for a
1 larger allowance referred to the 20,000
j francs a year income of Prince Andre
I as "entirely inadequate to support him
! aelf and your petitioner." She said
! that her only income is what she re?
ceives from the estate of ner father.
Income Is Nearly $20,000
The United States Trust Company,
guardian of the property left for Miss
Lawrence, reported that this trust
amounts to $200,000, producing an in?
come of $10.000 a year. In addition, the
company holds a trust fund created for
Miss Lawrence by her grandfather,
Francis Cooper Lawrence, which yields
between $9,000 and $10,000 a year, and
which the trust company allows to ac?
cumulate. Miss Lawrence asks that the
court order that she receive all the
income that accrues from her trust
funds.
Miss Lawrence set out in a schedule
just what she expected it to cost her
to maintain herself as Princess
Poniatowski. As against the 20,000
francs o the prince, her list totaled
160,000 francs as her tentative annual
contribution to the domestic copartner- j
ship. The schedule of Miss Lawrence
read: rent, 30,000 francs; servants,
7,600 francs; food bill and household
supplies, 42,000 francs; doctor, den?
tist, etc., 3,000 francs; clothing and
wearing apparel, with luxury tax,
28,600 francs; automobile and chauf?
feur, 22 000 francs; summer vacation
and traveling expenses, 12,000 francs;
recreation and amusement, 5,000
francs; incidental expenses, 10,000
francs.
Mrs. Lawrence, mother of tho prin?
cess-to-be, added her statement to the
petition of her daughter, in which she
said she approved of Miss Lawrence's
engagement to Prince Poniatowski, who
had been a friend of Miss Lawrence
since her childhood, and volunteered in
the French Army when he was seven?
teen years old. Owing to the great in?
crease in the cost of living in France,
said Mrs. Lawrence, and the taxes she
is required to pay, she will be unable
from her own income to contribute to
the support of her daughter after the
latter's marriage in the spring of 1920.
Mrs. Lawrence therefore joins in the
request of Miss Lawrence for the in?
creased allowance. The mother added
that she had spared no expense in car?
ing for and maintaining her daughter !
and that the friends and acquaintances
of Miss Lawrence are people of the j
highest standing.

Grand Jury
Demands Right
To Pick Counsel
Almirall Panel Opposes
Battle Unless He Will
Consent to Have Associ?
ate of Their Choice
Swann Depends on Smith
Will Follow Governor's
Decision; Battle Is Con?
sidering the Question
It was said yesterday at the Crim?
inal Courts Building that the extraor?
dinary grand jury would porsist in its
opposition to George Gordon Battle,
appointed by Governor Smith to be
special counsel in the jury's investiga?
tion of the District Attorney's office
and the Hylan administration, unless
Mr, Battle consents to be associated
with one or more assistants of the
grand jury's choice.
Lawyers mentioned in this connec?
tion were William Rand, an Assistant
District Attorney under William T.
Jerome, and former Justice Francis M.
Scott.
Mr. Battle, conferred during the day
with District Attorney Swann. After?
ward Mr. Battle declared the situa?
tion was unchanged, but ho believed
matters would adjust themselves and
he would be able to undertake the
inquiry into the "overshadowing crime"
and allied investigations.
Up to Governor
Mr. Swann indicated that he had
heen acquainted with the jury's plan
for assistants to Mr. Battle.
"I will appoint anybody the grand
jury wants, provided Governor Smith
suggests it," said he. "I would ap?
point former Governor Whitman if
the suggestion came from the Gov?
ernor."
Mr. Swann explained that assistants
designated for special inquiries turned
in bills based on their estimates of
heir services.
"I have, the authority to appoint
special assistants and spend moneys !
vhen I have evidence of the need of
n.n inquiry into some specific crime.
do not consider that I have any
such warranting evidence in the case
f the grand jury's activities.
Almirall Bars Politics
"If the Governor is satisfied that the
-rand jury has evidence of definite
crime he is privileged to use his
jxecutive discretion and request me to
ppoint assistants, which I will gladly
do. But on the basis of information .'
have I don't feel authorized to spend
public money for this purpose. The
matter of further assistants is en?
tirely up to the Governor."
Mr. Swann declared that Mr. Battle,
if he took charge of the inquiry, could
work entirely independent of the Dis?
trict Attorney's office, employing his
(Battle's) own office help if he saw fit.
It is believed the grand jury has
definitely informed Mr. Battle of its
desire to have him carry on the in?
quiry only if he consents to have as?
sistants named by the panel and that
Mr. Battle is considering the matter.
Mr. Battle declined last night to dis?
cuss the subject.
Raymond F. Almirall, foreman of
the jury, took issue with published re?
ports that the opposition to Mr. Battle
was based on his Tammany Hall
affiliations.
"I am sure," said the foreman, "that
it is the unanimous sentiment of the
grand jury that politics must not be
allowed to enter into our discussions
or inquiry. We all realize that injec?
tion of politics would set at naught
the very purpose of our investiga?
tions."
Court Refuses to Direct
Acquittal Verdict for Dempsey
MINE?LA, Dec. 4.?The prosecution
rested this afternoon in the trial of
John J. Dempsey, former transporta?
tion superintendent of the B. R. T.,
charged with manslaughter in connec?
tion with the death of ninety-two per?
sons in the Malbone tunnel wreck in
Brooklyn. Stephen J. Baldwin, Demp
sey's attorney, moved to dismiss, but
Justice Kapper ruled the case should
go to the jury.
Mr. Baldwin announced he was un?
decided whether the defense would put
any witnesses on the stand or not.
Justice Kappcr granted an adjournment
until to-day in order that Mr. Baldwin
may confer with his associates. The
case may co to the jury to-morrow
night.
Dr. Day Repeats Charge
Hirshfield ^Framed' Him
Deposed Markets Commissioner
Testifies for 75 Minutes
Before Grand Jury
Dr. Jonathan C. Day, deposed Markets
Commissioner, spent i'an hour ana
fl teen minutes befo-eth> extraordinary
grand jury yesterday. When he came
out, accompanied by his attorney, he
said he had nothing to say about his
testimony. ,
Dr. Day was more communicative,
however, after he reached his lawyer's
office. From there he issued a type?
written statement in which he reiter?
ated that David HirshnVd. Commis?
sioner of Accounts, had "framed" him
to get rid of him. .
Dr. Day charged Commissioner of j
Markets O'Malley with writing to Sec- ?
retary Baker about the disposal of the |
surplus tunda after he had been ousted |
as Deputy Market Commissioner. He i
charged that O'Malley's letter was
written in desperation, after Dr. Day
had addressed a letter to all banks, At
the direction of the Corporation i
Counsel, asking that the money be ?
charged to accounts in the name of
Dcput Commissioner Smith and Com- I
missioner Day supereedir.g Mr. Smith
and Mr. O'Malley as joint holders.
The desperation, Dr. Day said, was due
to O Malley's fear that he, Dr. Day,
would obtain control of the money.
Mr. O'Mahey wrot to Mayor Hylan
yesterday asking that the Board of
Estimate set an earl, date for public
hoaring on the question of future policy
of the city with respect to the estab?

gested that practical food dealers, pro?
ducers and others be invited to discuss
this question. ?

Failure to Reassign
War Designation
Disappoints 27th
Officers, Declaring Transfer
of Numeral to Regular
Division Would Be Un?
just, Prepare to Protest
Officers of the New York State !
Guard expressod keen disappointment ;
last night over the War Department's
failure to rea-ssign the numeral "The
?7th," to the state organization.
The department announced at Washi?
ngton yesterday that Federal funds
are new available for the equipment
und maintenance of a complete guard
iivision in the state, but gave no
ntimation that the division would be
? permitted to retain the designation
under wh'ch it gained fame on the
, battlefields of Europe.
It was po.nted out by one officer in
:m-h standing that the state Guard as'
The 27th" won great laurels in the
war, and that the transwr of its name
?o a regular division would be a great
injustice. He expralned that some
ime ago there were indications that
the numeral would be taken away from
the local guard. A protest was made,
whereupon the staff officers were unof?
ficially assured the des gna-ion wuuld
be reassigned to the division.
Staff Officers to Protest
It was expected this would be done
in conjunction with the present an?
nouncement. The failure of the War
Department to do so, however, has
aroused the staff officers, who intimated
I last night they would enter a protest.
They say it will retard the return to
the division of many of the men who
had fought in the 27th overseas.
The War Department's announce?
ment says the division allotted to the
state is in addition to the thirty-six
companies of coast artillery, Lieu?
tenant General Robert L. Bullard. com
mander of the Eastern Department, is
directed to notify the Adjutant General
of the State of New York that the new
division includes all units previously
authorized, as well as all existing units
of the Guard which have been recog?
nized by the Yv'ar Department.
The division will ho organized as s
combatant unit, comprising two bri?
gades of infantry and one of field ar?
tillery, rs well as all the auxiliary
units which go to make up a fighting
organization.
O'Ryan Expects Many to Re?nlist
Major General John F. O'Ryan said
last night the effect' of the announce?
ment, aside from the question of the
numeral, would tend to expedite the
return of the seasoned and dependable
soldiers to their units.
"After the 27th came back," he said,
"the officers felt the men should not
be urged to rejoin without a period of
rest. This they have now had. The
government has given us up-to-date
equipment and we ore ready for the
men. The division staff is complete.
All men enlisting before January 15,
1020, may do so for one year only, if
they wish. After that enlistments will
be for three years unless the limit for
the one-year enlistments is extended."

Life Insurance
Firms Ask Aid
For Rail Lines
Attacks on Public Utilities
Undermine Securities and
Menace Policy Holders,
Convention Here Is Told
Investments Endangered
Depreciation Reacts on Ben?
eficiaries, Says Speaker;
Remedies Are Suggested
Presidents of life insurance com?
panies throughout the United States
yesterday set out to arouse policy
holders to the menace of present at?
tacks upon securities of street rail?
ways and public utilities generally.
Speakers at the annual convention of
life insurance presidents, in session
at the Astor, pointed out that the se?
curities of these corporations repre?
sented heavy investments of policy
holders' money and that breaking down
their values actually was injurious to
the policy holders themselves.
One speaker produced figures show?
ing that twenty-six American life in?
surance companies hold $237,346,223
worth of public service securities, of
which a large percentage is made up
of street railway investments.
While figures quoted in reports
showed that the total of Insurance
taken out during the last year repre?
sented a marked increase over that
written the preceding year, that infla?
tion of values and increased cost of
living had made this more apparent on
pape;- than in actual fact. Efficiency
in the nation's production of wealth
and economy of the pre-war variety
were advocated by nearly every speaker
before tho organization.
Guy Eastman Tripp chairman of the
board of directors or the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company,
was the speaker who cited statistics to
show the direct interest of the insur?
ance companies in the profits of pub?
lic utilities.
After picturing the marked depreci?
ation of street railway securities, he
said:
"Twenty-six American life insuru"ce
companies, with assets of $5,202.818,
f-04, equal to more than 78 per cent of
the assets of all American life '<n
sur-'ii.' companies, have invested in
public service securities $237 3 i 5,223,
of which $116J592,(?70 represents street
and interurban nilroad investments.
"At the present time the credit of
the electric railways is non-ex stent.
The reason is apparent. More than
me-sixth of the to al e ectr;c railway
mileage of the country is in the hands
of receivers. A very lar^e additional
number of companies are on the verge
of bankruptcy, some of them kept from
this i'atc only by t?e financia. strer.;rtn
<->* 'he much criticized 'holding' com?
panies.
"The restoration of credit is funda?
mental to the continuance of private
capital and private enterprise in the
pub'ic service, and the main task that
J confronts the country, in so far as
I electric railways are concerned, ia the
restoration and the futuro preserva?
tion of that credit/'
William W. MoClench, president of
the Massachusetts Life Insurance
Company and presiding officer at yes?
terday's sessions, argued in favor of
a careful study of pending legislation
by insurance policyholders.
"Every policyho.der," he said, "has
a direct interest in legislation to be
enacted by Congress concerning rail?
roads. Unfair treatment may entail
serious losses and affect unfavorably
millions whose interests are in?
trusted to us. Our ability properly to
serve our members may be serious:y
limited if the railroads shall not be
returned to their owners under Buch
condition! as shall make their future
securities attructiv? to investors."
Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific Railway, cited figures
to show that the stock of the nation's
railroads was widely distributed
among small property holders.
Nicnolas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, declared that j
a goneral reconstruction of the public
mind was necessary as a result of the
war and that it would be impossible I
for business to continue along normal
lines until this reconstruction work
had been accomplished.
100-Year-Old Woman
Calls Fashions Harmful
Catherine Tibball, who celebrated her j
100th birthday a few days ago at 9C4 j
Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, does not j
see longevity for any woman who fol
'ows the maxims of dress approved by {
Dr. Itoyal S. Copeland, Health Com-1
missioner.
Her dautthter-in-Iaw, Mrs. Thomas
Tibba'l. said yesterday:
"My mother-in-law and I are entirely
against fashions of dress for women. |
I never wore anything but the simplest
kind of stays and neither did she "
The centenarian was told about Dr. j
Copeland's statement that women can !
wear silk stockings high-heeled shoes, i
tight corsets and low-neck gowns with !
benefit rather than harm.
"I have lived a hundred years and
ought to know something about women's I
clothes," she said.
"I have never painted or powdered
my face. I never wore high-heeled j
hoes or low-neck gowns, yet I have
lived to be a hundred years o'd and ex- I
pect to celebrate another birthday next i
year. Woman's fashions to-day are
more than bad; they are harmful."
Lieutenant Belvin W. Maynard, "the |
flying parson " when interviewed raid: |
"No one denies t'"at the woman with ?
the colorless chet-k has the ripjht to \
adorn himself with roug", but when she
resorts to such mean? as exposing her
body to add to her personal charm she
over teps hor right as a member of so- I
ciety. There must be a limit to *such
frivolity."
Stolen Whisky Recovered
300 Cases Taken From Dock

Anderson learned that a motortruck
containing whisky had been abandor-e-1
ast Saturday night :?t Floral Park and
that the liquor had been transferred
to the home of a Polish farmer a'
