Several per- rons Interested In the project expressed the opinion yesterday that a special ef- fort would be made tr \Impress\ the congregations of the most prominent churches, but they prophesied that no house' of worship on the avenue would be witho.ut Its \red guards.\ Ono of the Individuals In whose be- half this protest has been arranged caused the Ferttrnl authorities consider- able concern yeBtcrday when ho failed to surrender himself to United Stntcs Marshal Thomas D. McCarthy In com- pliance with an order tho United States Supremo Court. Thla man Is Hymnu I.achowslty, a party to the recent Kills Island hunger strike, and under a twenty yenr prison sentence. He was convicted some time ago of having circulated n printed letter urging murder, blowing up of buildings and other forms of violence, and lias been nt liberty tinder MO.OOO-bn- pend- ing a final decision on his case by the United States Supremo Court. He fore that body could pass upon his caco ho was arrested again on fresh charges and sent to Ellis Island for de- portation, but a Federal Judge recently released him from that place on a writ of hnbeas corpus. When the highest court upheld his conviction a few days ago, Harry Weinberger, his lawyer, was called upon to surrender\ lilm to the marshal, and he begg:d nn extension of ..tl ..... . niiiu uiiui jcaicrun)' wnen lie Ham ino \red\ would surrender without fall, Ilnll OiTiirm Summoned. Yesterday, however, Lachowsky did not appear at the marshal's oltlce. As- - slctant United States Attorney John M. ltyan recalled tlie fact that tho Imm- igration authorities have experienced much troublo with Weinberger because ot ins raiiure to produce his. clients when they were wanted. He announced that he would apply for a bench warrant for Lachowsky at 9 o'clock this rnornlnir. and would nlso move for the forfeiture of his $10,000 ball, which was deposited by certain \parlor IJolshevlkl.\ I,ist night Mr. Weinberger wus still promis- ing that his client would surrender District Attorney Francis Martin nf Bronx county, who Is determined to nut a stop to all stdltlous meetings In his Jurisdiction, summoned twelve hall own- ers to his office yesterday. Each of these persons had been renting Ills place to communists or othgr species of and they arrived nt the office of tho prosecutor in a highly agitated and anxious state. It was learned later that each had given his solemn word of honor never to let plotters and. danger ous ngltators hold forth In his place again. Several held what looked like Grand Jury subpoenas In their hands. Iudwlg Christian Alexander Karl Martens, the Bolshevik representative, who Is facing prosecution for contempt of the Lusk Legislative Committee, Issued a lengthy explanation yesterday \as to what he meant when he snld last Saturday that Emma Goldman nnd Alexander Berkman would not bo wel comed In Russia and that any anarchists plotting against the Uolshevtkl would be put to death. He didn't really mean to offend either of this pair, ho explained. In a letter prepared at the urgent request of Harry Weinberger, their lawyer, he assured the couple that Russia wilt be glad to \offer an asylum\ to them. ' It was nnnoinced yesterday through tho Bureau of Immigration at Washing- ton thnt the order for tho\ deportation of Goldman ami Berkman lias been issued, but that no date had been fixed for their departure. Rumors that the pair are to be sent away within the next iftrt mitts tir t'Utn Uin ailtt on lira few days persist, but lack official con- firmation.
