Long Career Ended The deportation of Emma Goldman and her devoted companion. Alexander Berkman, ends a Joint career of 30 years in the United States during which they preached the overthrow of government by violence. He spent 16 years and three years in jail. Berkman served 14 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 conscription, and one year for inciting to riot. 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 of Czolgosz described the influence which Miss Goldman's writings had on him. 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 clan," Attorney General Palmer has said. Opposed Preparedness. They wera suspected of receiving German money to oppose preparedness by the United States before the United States entered the war. They were the pioneer radicals in the United States. Now there are 60.000 Reds here and 472 disloyal foreign language newspapers, according to Attorney General Palmer. For more than 10 years their deportation had been agitated and at times seemed near, but no formal proceedings for this purpose were instituted until the alarming radical activities of 1919. Including the Seattle and Winnipeg general strikes, the sending of bombs through the mails to Attorney General Palmer and other Yiromtnent men. the formation of branches of the communist party and plans for anarchistic -demonstrations on the formation of the Soviet Repub - lie of Russia, which were frustrated bv countrywide raids In November. These raids made a toal of 697 anarchists seized by the United States on deportation proceedings in the last two years. When their co-wc kers, the Nihilists in Russia, whence they, came in youth, evoluted into the Bolshevik! and forme, the Soviet government after the downfall of the monarchy. Berkman and Miss Goldman championed a similar government and social order or this country.

SUPREME COUNCIL MAKING EFFORT TO REACH AGREEMENT (By Associated Press) ", PARIS, Dec. 22. -The supreme council, it became known today, is making every effort to reach ah ! agreement with Germany on the question of reparation for the sinking of the German fleet at Scapa Plow so that the protocol may be signed and ratifications of the treaty of Versailles exchanged before Christmas. ; The terms of the note replying to the last communication of the German representatives were considered by the council this morning. No decision being reached, it was planned to hold another session this evening, in Premier Clemenceau's quarters at the war office. It was believed that the note, if then completed, would be handed during the evening to Baron Kura von Lersner, head of the German mission, in the hope of expediting whatever consideration the German delegation found necessary to give it. Serbia's demand for priority to the amount of 2,500,000,000 francs in reparations, on the same footing as that accorded Belgium, was discussed by the supreme council today but no decision was reached.

AFTER U.S.

(By Associated Press) LONDON,' Dec. 22. Premier Lloyd George was ready at the; opening of parliament today to announce the de tails of the government's Irish home rule bill. This measure, which will." it is be lieved, give a large amount of autonomy to Ireland, has been, according to recent statements, modeled after the state governmental system of the United States. Two legislatures, one for Ulster and one for southern . Ireland, . would be provided, and the way is left open for a union of the two sections, should they decide to take this step. Fullest possible freedom would be accorded the Irish legeslatures in administering the affairs of the island, while in matters affecting the empire, Ireland would have a voice in the imperial parliament. - ' Comments In this morning's newspapers on the premier's statement reveal general hopelessness regarding any Improvement in the situation as being likely to result. Much Interest is evidenced in the statement, but the outlines of the home rule bill are aulte well known, and nobody expects the! government s proposals to be accepted by the bulk of the Irish people." Leaders Differ. Neither Joseph Devlin nor other Nationalist members of parliament are expected to attend the meeting today, which is regarded as showing their minds are already made up in an adverse sense. It Is stated Sir Edward Carson and his followers will accept the plan for a separate parliament for Ulster, but this is likely to antagonize, rather than reconcile the rest of Ireland. It is conceded, even by opponents of he government, that the attempt against the life of Viscount French, lord lieutenant of Ireland, on Friday, will not affect the governments attitude or Induce it in any way to alter the scheme which has already been framed, but is is said that this will not b counted as r generosity by ; the enemies of Irish proposals. ' '.M . - taken to prevent possible anti-government demonstrations in parliament, they do not extend so far as to exclude applicants for tickets for the public jralleries. It is understood by the Mirror that a very large number of Irishmen have asked Labor membora for ; tickets, which, the newspaper says, have been issued on a somewhat generous scale, but it Is assumed persons thus admitted are not actuated by a desire to start trou ble, as there i3 an implied obligation on the part of the person issuing a ticket for the behavior of its passenger. Labor members themselves, according to the Merald, tho Laborite organ, have no interest in the premier's statement, "knowing what he is going to say, and having formed opinions." Newspaper Wrecked. Unknown persons last night enter ed the office of the Dublin Dally In dependent, a newspaper which sharp ly criticised the atack on Viscount French, wrecking the typesetting ma shines and crippling the stereotyping plant, according to dispatches. The raiders escaped as quickly as did tho assailants of Viscount French and with greater ease, their operations being carried out systematically and quietly, and without exciting the sus picions of outsiders. The damage done by the raid is estimated at some thousands of pounds sterling, the work of destruction having been done with great thoroughness. The men who attempted to assassinate Lord Lieutenant French continuo at liberty, and so far as known, no further clues to their identities have been obtained. A Dublin dispatch to the Daily Mail says "A man hunt for Sinn Feiners will be made in Dublin this week." A personal letter from Archbishop Walsh, deprecating violence and advising exact obedience to British authority, was read in all the Catholic churches of the Dublin diocese yesterday.

Howat Sent to Jail s Pending Decision by Federal Judge Anderson on 1 Amount of . Bond.

HEARING NEXT MONDAY . (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Decl 22. Alexand er Howat, president of .the- Kansas district of the United Mine Workers of America, was remanded to jail by unnea states Judne Anderson when court re-convened this afternoon. Howat, who is charged with contempt of court, was granted a continuance this morning until next Monday. This afternoon's session lasted less than two minutes. When the Judge took his seat, he turned to Henry War rum, counsel for Howat and asked if he had anything to add to his statement of the forenoon. "Nothing, your honor," Mr. Wartnm replied, "except to ask what amount will be required of Mr. Howat as bond for his appearance Monday." , "That is a matter for serious consideration." Judge Anderson said. "I will take that up later. Mr. Marshal, take Mr. Howat to Jail." Law Must Be Upheld, v "This man," Judge Anderson declared,, "has openly and defiantly dis obeyed the law. This court and the law has been defied and flouted. Pre got to stop it, if the law is to be upheld. . Either I must do it, or we must acknowledge that the organization for which he stands is supreme to the government This man's violation must stop or I will put him in a cell and keep him there." The case against Howat Is the outgrowth of charges or contempt against 84 international and district officials of the mine workers, brought prior to the agreement reached In Indianapolis, Dec 10. Hearing of the charges first was postponed on Dec. 8 to permit the miners' general committee to consider the president's proposal for ending the strike again last week except as to Howet Defied the Court Opening, the case for the government this morning. Dan W. Sims, special United States .district attor ney, declared that Howet had -kept in funds a local strike begun last July ana merged with the general strike on Oct. -31. In addition it-4& eluurced Howat has openly defied the court in statements and Interviews with the . press to the effect that there Was no power In the country to force the miners to return to work. . Mr. Sims quoted the newspaper interviews and from a purported strike history of the Kansas district to show that these had been 364 strikes in Crawford county, Kansas, in the last 33 months. Judge la Vehement. Judge Anderson was vehement in his denunciation of the conditions existing in the Kansas field and told of having received a number of "scurrilious" letters and editorial clippings from the district denouncing him for his action in connection with the coal strike. Some of the letters, he said, were signed, and others were ananymous, but practically all of them, he asserted were in violation of the United States postal laws. Counsel for Howat introduced a response to the charges In which it was stated that at the time Howet wac ordered into court the miners in Kansas and their officials were in the act of returning to work in compliance with the agreement reached by the miners' general committee, except as to 1,000 miners on local strike. Judge Anderson declared the response Insufficient in view of the charges, but said he admitted the right of Howat to full hearing and allowed the request for postponement until Howat's attorney from Kansas might be summened. The court objected to the kind of bond furnished by Howat. a check for $10,000 drawn on a Kansas bank, and stated that he would have to furnish kail more, acceptable to the court if he wanted" to retain his liberty until the hearing next Monday. He also enJoined Howat to change his general attitude toward the court if he wished to stay out of Jail. PITTSBURG. Kans.. Dec. 22.

The strike occurred before the miners had heard anything from the proceedings at Indianapolis. For several days miners in the north field at Crawford county have been threatening to strike if Howat is punished at Indianapolis.
