Nine Husky' Guards , Detailed
To Board Probing 68 Stub
born Bolshevists at
Ellis-Wand.
Washington, Nov. 28. Nine husky
deputy U. S. marshals were pro
vided for Commissioner 'Uhl today,
so that he could break the "silence"
strike of 68 radicals at the island J
now awaiting deportation proceed
ingsThe usual guards at the island
are inadequate and not strong
enough, he. told the house commit
tee. The deputies will use force to
bring the radicals before immigra
tion inspectors tor deportation pro
ceedings, which they have refused
to attend because relatives are not
permitted to see them except with
an iron barrier intervening.
Howe Held Deportations.
Testimony that Frederic C. Howe,
former .commissioner of immigra.-,
tion at Ellis island, had ordered de
portations of radicals held up, al
though final deportation orders had
been received from the Department
of Labor, was givento the house
immigration commission today by
Percy A. Baker, superintendent, of
the island. Baker put in evidence
an order he had received from
Howe last March, reading:
"You will stay all deportations In
these alien -cases until the attor
neys can be advised and until after
consultation with fne."
Baker, testified that an order of
the department to deport was final
and he, therefore, did not under
stand the note from Howe and con
sulted him. Baker then made this
memorandum on the copy of the
note shown the committee: ,

DEAR MR. AND MRS. PUBLIC:
v Sunday I celebrate the third birthday
v of my S UN, my only son. You are cordially
Jjavited.. Norma Talmadge will be "here in
her newest and greatest picture, "The Isle
Conquest. M try to save a placf lor you
in the Sun. " "
Cordially,
"S- .V HARRY GOLDBERG.
tion orders are recejved, before do
ing so he should be consulted."
Representative Siegel of New
York said .there was no authority
in law for such staying of deporta
tions. , 1 ' -. ,
' Baker said that some of the radi
cals affected by the stay had been
released by the department, and
some had obtained their freedom by
habeas corpus proceedings. The ef
fect of Howe's - order to him, he
said, probably was to permit delay
for the institution of habeastforpus
proceedings." - v
V On Own Recognizance. , '
Representative Siegel, read from
immigration department .records
names of two dozen men who had
been held at the island with war
rants for their ideportation on file,
bui had been released mostly on
their own recognizance. They are
now missing.
Howe interrupted Baker's testi
mony in an effort to give his version
of the matter, but was shut off by
the committee, which promised him
an opportunity to be heard later.
Failing to obtain permission to tes
tify earlier in the day, Howe had
issued7 statement to the press say
ing that he had never released a
radical without orders from Wash-
in orfm -."."
iVThis statement was issued'after
Howe had interrupted Byron H.
Uhl, now acting commissioner at
the island' and deputy when Howe
was commissioner. Uhl had testi
fied that a letter signed by Howe,
April 24, ordering the circulation of
anarchistic literature at the island
stopped had not been delivered to-
the proper omcers to entorce it untu
June 4.
- Interrupts Proceedings.
"That isn't true." Howe ex
claimed before the committee
stopped his statement by informing
hirrMhat it would tolerate "nopolice
court methods.
Later in the day Howe tried to
interrupt the proceedings again to
say that he was in error in asserting
that Uhl was not telling the truth,
but the committee told him to write
a letter about it.
Dudley Field Malone, then' col-
lector of the port of New York, ad
dressed interned German sailors at
the island the night after war was
declared, Baker testified, and prom
ised them that their treatment would
be such that they could have no
cause for complaint, and that can
teens would be provided. The can
teens never were provided, however,
Baker added.
I. W. W. on Hunger and , '
Silence Strike in Tacoma
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 28. The I.
W. W. members who went on a
hunger strike Thursday morning
have not touched food for 48 hours.
Jhey also refuse to talk with their
jailers.
While the strikers have refused
to state the cause of their refusal to
eat, Jt is understood that they are
protesting against being detained in
the city jail. They had asked to be
transferred to the ounty jail, where
additional alleged I. W. W. are held,
but this was refused because the
cells there are full.
The strikers refused three meals
yesterday, including a Thanksgiving
dinner with turkey.
Woman Says Man Tried

sault upon Mrs. T. Bassford, tele

ened by her screams and ran, being

Bassford lives in the Newton apart

Parts, Nov. 28. Discussing the
sinking of the German fleet in Scapa
Flow and the compensations to be
