The mob formed around the gate- keepers’ cage several minutes before the attack was launched. Then the i woman, proclaiming herself an an- - archist, stepped, forward and drove both fists through the glass window. As pieces of glass crashed to the pavement the crowd began chanting the “Internationale.” “Down with this dirty, rotten government,” g screamed the woman. ‘“They have 1 .,taken my husband and are taking the gl husbands, brothers and father of us all.” Police Reserves Called. Tnable to quiet the mob, Asa Mitchell, superintendent of the barge office, located at the tip of Manhat- tan, turned in a -call for police re- serves. - The mob turned on the first police- man to answer the call and beat him, but when more reserves with drawn k clubs and a detail of coast guards with fixed bayonets arrived the crowd suddenly became docile. Members of it explained they had come to inquire about relatives who had sailed on the Buford. A young Russian’ woman, who gave the name of Clara Brooks, was ar- rested as the ring-leader. N Second Ark to Sail. The ‘“‘Soviet Ark” Buford, which sailed for an un-named Russian port with 249 radical deportees on board, will be followed before it has an op- portunity to land by a second “‘arn’ load of ‘“reds,” according to the best information obtainable. It was stated that a second batch of deportees probably would be em- barked some time this week as the government’s second drastic step against aliens who have sought to bring about the overthrow of consti- tutional government. The department of justice has 60,000 radicals listed. How many of these will follow their “red” leaders on enforced voyages to their home iands has not been made known. All Degrees of Redness. The Buford, which crept out of New York with a heavy guard in the darkness, carried Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, two of the most notorious anarchist leaders the Unit- ed States ever has harbored, together with 247 other radicals of various degrees -of ‘‘redness.” A Department of justice agents said the Buford’s passenger list comprised virtually the “brains” of the radical movement in the United States.
