WOULDN’T TRY RED THEORY

Bolsheviks on the Soviet Ark Buford Refuse to “Divide Up" Their Money. % Washington, Jan. 9.—The makings of a first-class riot were contained in a facetious suggestion made by a federal agent on the “soviet ark” Buford just before she sailed from New York, It was learned when the agent arrived here. Most of the deported reds were reasonably supplied with gold money, but some bad larger sums than others. “Why not put It all together and divide it equally, according to recognized bolshevik principles?” was the agent's facetious suggestion. Did the suggestion “take” with the richer reds? It did not. “Owners of the larger sums of money scattered in ail directions,” said the federal agent.
