INGS AND THREATS Counsel iot Suspended Socialists Consumes Most of Day Denying Assembly Can Unseat Member Not Convicted of Crime. Albany, Jan. 20.—Morris Hinqult, chief counsel for the five suspended Socialist itasembjjyjnen, declared today at the opening of their- trial that If the As- sembly permanently ousted the defen- dants the act will loosen the violent revolution which we Socialists have al- ways endeavored and are endeavoring to stem.\ Mr. Hillquit added this \one word of solemn warning\ after asserting that the \Romanoffs and all instruments of op- pression in Russia had been destroyed after the government bad tried to outlaw the Socialist fioveiment,\ and that \we are not afraid of suppression at the time half the world is under Socialist eon- trel.\ This \warning\ was later interpreted by Martin W. Littleton, associate coun- sel for the. committee, as \a warning to the country, a threat to the committee and an admonishment to the Assembly that they do not dare *deal with the gentlemen he represents unleBS they wish to Irtvite revolution to this country.*f Mr. Hillquit denied that his remarks wero intended as a threat, and said In- stead he had \made a sort of love offer\ that \we Socialists are ready to see the thing through in a constitutional manner and by peaceful methods.\ \I was merely Imploring you to be as good and peace-loving as we Socialists are.\ he said, \and not to be high- handed In your procedure. That was an entreaty, and it was intended to be.\ , The Judiciary committee opened the trial by excluding by a vote of seven to four the New York City Bar Associa- tion committee, headed by Charles E. Hughes, from independent participation in the proceedings, after which the com- mittee, submitting a brief opposing the Assembly's action' in suspending the So- cialists, withdrew. The delegation made it plain it did not represent the Socialists, but the \public interest.\ Then Louis M. Martin, chairman of the judiciary committee, read a statement assuring the defendants that they will \receive fair play,\ that the case is not . pre-Judged. and that the committee de- sired to express Us understanding \of mattrs that are to, be brought up for consideration.\ - PLOTS AUTOCRACY ON LIBERTTS RUINS Counsel for Committee Declare* Country Will Know \Agent and Co-contplrator\ v Before Investigation Ends—Tells of \Invisible Empire.\ Albany, Jan. 21.—Martin W.

Elected on First Ballot by French Na- tional Assembly. Paris. Jan. 20.—Paul Deschanel was elected president of the French republic. At the meeting of the National Assem- bly at the palace in Versailles yester- day, receiving 734 votes out of 889, being elected on the first ballot. His term Ifl for seven years, and he will take office February 18. Deschanel's election is of the deepest Import to tho French republic and of great interest for all the world because It marks the defeat of Premier Georges Clemonceau, who up to Friday night was a candidate for the presidency. The sudden turn of the tide against Clemen- ceau is a political event which could happen in few countries except France. It was the. product of many factors, not least of which has rankled for a long time in the bosoms of many French poli- ticians. There was nothing to the Des- chanel platform except the defeat of Clemenceau. Clemenceau was not a candidate at the election, having-withdrawn Friday night after Deschanel's showing of..- greater strength in the parliamentary caucus. He had never sought the candidacy, and consented to it only three days ago, af- ter his friends had told him that France called again for hlB hand and brain. Then d cale g f ha ad brain. Then he consented, to rad that his political enemies, who backed him in war tim*\, now believed the time had come to rf.vfve him. Perhaps the politicians r^^urd htm as too strong for th«.-pre(&tency~.'t Deschanel's majortf.y was the largest since the el?rtf-it of .Louis AdoFphe Thlers. tbi Ytrst president after the fall of t^y empire, who was chosen unani- mously. UN! BARS ALL BUT THREE Finnish Officials Hear From Moscow That Rest of Undesirables From United States Are Not Wanted. In Utopia. Torljoki. Finnish-Russian Frontier, Jan. 19—The band of Bolshevlkl and anar- chists deported from the United States Is safely across the Russian frontier to- night, but whether all'members of the party will remain safe in Soviet Russia Is a question to be determined by the bolshevik authorities. Hardly had the last of them passed over the border than a belated telegram reached the Finnish military officials in charge of the transfer announcing that the Soviet government had decided to permit only three of the deportees to .enter. Their names have not been made public, but those thus favored are be- lieved to be Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkmao and Peter Dlansky (Blanky?). The telegram la incomprehensible in view of the f&,<ci that a delegation. In- cluding the wife of Maxim Gorky, came out to receive the. exiles and elaborate preparations had been made by the fron- tier Bolshevlkl to welcome them. Warmly Welcomed on Russian Side. The undesirable aliens deported from the United States, entered Soviet Russia at 2 o'clock this afternoon. They re- ceived an enthusiastic welcome at the I whose object is the forcible overthrow of constitutional liberty In America.\ This Investigation, he auued, will not be \a tempest in a teapot,\ but that be- fore it ends the question will be whether the Socialists can continue to \masquer- ade\ as a political party. He added that what the charges against the defendants meant was that they were here \for Trotzky and Lenlne\ to erect an auto- cracy on »the ruins of a republic \to whose constitution we all subscribe.\ Mr. Littleton, answering Mr. Stedman, The Sultan bows right and left, In re- sponse to the acclamations, looks toward the terrace where are ranged the> for- eigners, and bows pleasantly ^to them.

Chicago. Jan. 21.—The women had their official inning at the Republican National Committee conference at the Congress Hotel, while most of the committee men and attendant central States politicians haunted the lobby or the headquarters of the various would-be nominees and lis- tened to siren pleas for delegates.

NEW YORK BANK SCENE OF ATTEMPTED HOLDUP Lone Bandit Fights Revolver Battle With Clerks of Manhattan Savings Bank As Frantic Patrons Look On. A lone bandit, \doped\ with drifes, according to the police, fought a losing revolver battle with bank tellers Friday In an unsuccessful attempt to rob the Manhattan Savings Institution at Broad- way and Bleecker street, New York city, of $5,000. The smoke from 20 revolver shots, all of which went wild, had not cleared away before the robber, cowering and penitent, was under arrest. He gave the name of James Stratton, 1273 Wash- ington Boulevard, Chicago. The police say he had a long record as a burglar and safe robber. Search was begun for t^o men who were supposed to have been accomplices l»ut Stratton said ho \worked\^-alontf. The police were conWnced the men who were believed to have come to his as- sistance were depositors fleeing from the bull eta. Fully 20 shots were flred but none of them took effect, although a score of patrons. were in the bank when the highwaymen made their attack. One of the desperadoes was captured when he retreated, but the other two escaped. Their demand for money was ignored and they fled empty-handed. Teller Draws Gun. One of the bandits entered the bank and walked casually up to the cage of David Sands, paying teller. When he reached the window he drew a revqlver and demanded $6,000 In bills. Sands dropped under the counter and reached for his gun. As the teller's head disappeared the robber opened flre. HJs companions rushed to his assistance with revolvers drawn and joined in the fusillade. Reinforcements for Sands were not lacking, however. Harry J. Maloy, .a bond clerk, who was in the cage, flrejl a shot through a window on the Broad- way side to attraction attention from the outside and then turned his gun on the highwaymen, who fled. \\ Recalls Clean-Up of 40 Years Ago. All the employes of the Manhattan Savings Bank had been coached for yeara. In what to do if an attack was made by robberB. All are familiar with the details of the famous cleanup made there 40 odd years ago by Jimmy Hoppe, Red Leary and Srang Draper who bur- glarized the bank and escaped with hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. This rob- bery was the most sensational in the police annals of the city. The thieves entered in the night and escaped with their loot but finally were caught In con- nection with other robberies. The bandit who was caught today was seized by a traffic policeman as he ran out of the building. He said he was James Stratton of 1273 Washington Boulevard, Chicago. The police assert he has a record as a bank robber. Sands Sounds the. Alarm. When Sands ducked behind the counter he shouted to the other em- ployes: \Bandits. Get your guns, boys.\ Then the battle* began. The depositors flattened themselves against the walls or dashed Into the street. Three bulletB went through the front window of the bank into a haberdashery shop across the street. Others were Imbedded In the walls of the bank. <.-. Denies He Had Accomplices. At the police station to which he was taken. Stratton declared he ^had no ac-. complices and the police decided the two men bank employes thought were assist- ing him were depositors looking for a place of safety. Constant M.

The deportees, laden with suitcases and boxes, trudged through the deep snow, laughing and singing.revolutionary songs as they neared the porder. Hearty cheers were raised by the Rus- sians waiting for them on the other side of the frozen Systerbak River., which separates the Finnish and Bolshevik Rus- sian lines. Willing hands helped them to scram- ble up the steep banks, and amid the ruins of the war-wrecked town of Blelo- OBtrov, overlooking the stream, the Bol- shevlkl gave the exiles a vociferous greeting that stirred up a fr*enzy of en- thusiasm and''delight among the new- comers. They dropped their luggage, whipped off their caps as a military band played the Bolshevik anthem, and, cheer- ing wildly, broKe open their boxes of food and cigarettes brought from the Buford, distributing them lavishly among the crowd. Berkman and Goldman Last to Cross. - An amusing sight was a 'Bolshevik offi- cer waiving a can of American pork and beans as he gave orders to the soldiers. A mounted brigadier commanded the troops, which included boys who appear- ed to be scarcely more than twelve years of age. Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman were last to cross the river, waiting until the others were safely over. \This Is the greatest moment of my life,\ exclaimed Emma Goldman to the Associated Press. \After 36 years of ab- sence I am returning to Russia with a feeling^ of awe. I am glad to leave America, but I love the American peo- ple, and expect to return there some day,\ ' She said she would continue to write for American publications. COUNCIL OF FARMS AND MARKETS.

It was charged that some pro- ducers delivering 46 per cent cream were rated at 40 per cent, and that there were lesser discrepancies in other cases. Commissioner Wilson stated today that the correct testing of milk and cream, where payment is based on the butter fat test. Is simply a matter of justice to the producers, and that the verdict in favor of fhe State in the Western New York ,case will, undoubtedly, aid the rigid en- tforcement campaign.
