"'East St. Louis Journal" Driven to Novel Method by Loss of Car in Wreck Special Correspondence ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.- Allen T. Spivcy, Ppublisher of "The East St. Louis Daily Journal," announced to-day that to? morrow's issue of the newspaper would 1 be printed on light brown wrapping paper, owing to the shortage of white newsprint paper. Loss in a railroad wreck of a consignment, of paper and impossiblity of obtaining further loans of white paper from the depleted sup? plies of other publishers are respon? sible for the innovation, the publisher said. To-Uay's issu?? of "The Daily Journal" was printed partly on bor? rowed naner and partly on book paper that alone cost more than the sale price of the completed newspaper. The proposed printing on wrapping paper ranks with the publicatio33 of a Memphis newspaper on wallpaper dur? ing the Civil War and of "The Chi? cago 'rimes'' on a handbill after the Chicago fire, among the oddities of newspaper production. _-s_ m LK, OAJt, sAsO 3loM CJTrinxsnjjUflXZus to CCxXjuL -- JtAttAAJbl hu&t<S irUlum/'o*! i? -CCUU?Ay Lo Qjyt l^yHxrxxuxyn/. m. fri?

S. 16 of Berkinan's 30 Years Here Spent in Prison and Goldman Spent 3 in Cell; Treason, Bombs, Even MeKinley's Assassination Laid to Their Teachings I The deportation of Emma Goldman | and her devoted companion, Alexander | Berkman, ends a joint career of thirty ! years in the United States, during j which they preached the overthrow of | government by violence. He spent six? teen years and she three in jail, but they were never punished for the part their teachings played in attacks by ethers on life and property. Berkman served fourteen years for shooting Henry Clay Frick 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 con? scription and one year for inciting to riot. Berkman was never brought to trial on an indictment for murder in connection with the Preparedness Day bomb outrage in San Francisco. Miss Goldman was acquitted of illegal distribution 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, helped cause the assassination of President McKinley, the government charged in its deportation proceedings. The confession oi Czolgosz described the influence which Miss Goldman's writings had on him. Influenced Coast Dynamiters Their influence was traced in the dynamiting of "The Los Angeles Times." Matthew Schmidt and David Caplan, now in jail with others for that crime, were "of the Goldman I clan," Attorney General Palmer has j said. They wer? suspected of receiving Cern?an money to oppose preparedness : here before the United States entered | the war. They cooperated with German spies | in endeavoring to promote a revolution I in India during the war. They were the pioneer radicals in j the United States. Now there are 00, 000 "Reds" here and 47:2 disloyal for : eign-language newspapers, according to ! Attorney General Palmer. Denounced by judges and other pub? lic officials from President Roosevelt down as enemies of the country seek? ing to destroy it, but regarded by wo? men anarchists who greeted them with kisses as "beautiful characters, a hun? dred years ahead of their times." they so increased their following that it was easy for them to provide $15,000 or $25,000 bail in cash or Liberty bonds. Yet fines of $10,000 each for opposing the draft were unpaid. They had no property, they said. Deportation Urged 10 Years For more than ten years their depor? tation had been agitated and at times seemed near, but no formal proceed? ings for ttiis purpose wen? instituted until the alarming radical activities lof 1919, including the Seattle and Win? nipeg general strikes, the sending of I bombs through the mails to Attorney | General Palmer and other prominent men, the formation of branches of the Communist party and plans for anar? chistic demonstrations on the anniver? sary of the formation of the Soviet, Republic of Russia, which were frus? trated by country-wide raids in Novem? ber. These raids made a total of 697 anarchists seized by the United States on deportation proceedings in the last two years. ! When their co-workers, the Nihilists in Russia, whence they came in youth, evolutod into the Bolsheviki and formed the Soviet government after the down? fall of the monarchy, Berkman and Miss Goldman championed a similar government and social order for this country. Berkman when surrendered for deportation predicted that he would return to the United States as Soviet Ambassador and Miss Goldman proph? esied a revolution here within live years. "American capitalists are the most greedy in the world," she said, "and when the time comes they are going to pay a terrible price for it. A thun? derous storm is brewing in the United States." Repudiated Violence in Court Yet when given opportunity during their many appearances in court- to air their views they repudiated violence. "The anarchist never advocates a reign of terror," said Berkman. "An? archism means the negation of violence. Anarchists teach self-reliance, co? operation and mutual aid in opposition to existing institutions and authority." In l-eply to one such exposition after Berkman's conviction in New York for opposing the draft the United States Attorney said to the court: "The court should know that this man, who now claims to be for univer? sal peace and says he is against the use of violence, in 1892 went into Mr. Prick's office ?in Pittsburgh i and tried to shoot him down without giving his victim an opportunity to defend him? self. He shot him in the back as he would a dog." "The first terrorist act in America" is the way Berkman described his at? tack on Frick in his book, "Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist." Berkman's last hour of freedom in this country expired early this month in New York City while Henry Clay Frick was being buried in Pittsburgh and mourned as a public benefactor. Goldman Forty-nine, Berkman Fifty Emma Goldman is forty-nine years old and Berkman fifty. She was born in Kovno, Russia, and in early child? hood removed with her parents to East Prussia. When fifteen years old she came to the United States and started working in clothing factories in Roch? ester, N. Y. Recently asked who her relatives were, .Miss Goldman replied: "I have children all over the United States." "They can't keep me out," she said in 1907, when there was talk of de? porting her. "I don't believe they would be foolish enough to try. My father is an American citizen. I mar? ried an American citizen." Her father came to the United States ??jiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiii.iiiiw Flint* Fine Furniture OuwtAKm?

When ha was re? leased from the Western. Pennsylvania prison after serving his time for shooting Mr. Frick there were reports that he had married Miss Goldman in New Jersey, but the marriage was never recorded and at their trial for obstructing the draft both testified they were single. "I Represent the Devil" "1 represent tiie devil." said Miss Goldman at one of her meetings. "I am an apostle upholding glorious freedom, the apostle standing oui against law and order and decency and morality. I am for the devil who leads the way to the absolute yielding up to all the emotions here and now. Women are the slaves of little laws and conventions. They'll learn to break the laws some day." Berkman and Miss Goldman made their headquarters in New York, where their magazines were published, but they were known in every large city in the United States, and also addressed anarchist meetings in Canada, England, Australia. Holland and other countries. These meetings enabled them to live as comfortably as any despised capi? talist would wish. Admission fees were charged, circulars sold and sub? scriptions to their magazines taken. At the last meeting they addressed in Chicago, prior to their deportation, the contributions to help them light de? portation were $5,000. Miss Goldman's bankbook, seized when her magazine was suppressed, showed weekly depos? its running from $50 to $700, with one of more than $3,700. They lived at the best hotels. In fact, they offered to pay their own way to Russia, or, fail? ing that, the difference between steer? age and first class, in order to have the best accommodations. ? - Aero Mailman Halts A Train to Get Water NEWARK, N.
