RADICAL MARKED FOR DEATH FOR LAPSE IN FAITH BOSTON, January 26.—Demetrio Iwankiw, one of eighteen alien radicale awaiting deportation at Deer Island. was placed in & sepa- rate cell for his own protection after having been marked for death by his comrades, it is said, because of his lapse of faith in radicalism. Iwankiw, a well educated man, who was arrested in Youngstown, Ohio. was tricd as a “spy” by a committee of the radicals, accord- ing to Master G. N. Harlow of the house of correction, after he had voiced his changed views among his fellows. The death sentence was de- clared, and the committee, according to the master, bound itself to see that it was carried out as soon as the party reacl ussia. Iwankiw's companions’also were deprived of the comparative free- dom of the institution which they have enjoved by being placed in cells. They resented this acti>n. throwing mess dishes and utensils through the bars, but became quiet when told that food would be re- 1 inued. Commissioner of Immigra- tion Skeffington said it was planned to send the men to New York by special train next Monday for de- portation on a steamship sailing about February 1. Most of the radicals plan to re- turn to the United States a year or two after their deportation, Mr. Harlow said they told him, lnler[:i- ing “to make a revolution here.
