At the close of the service tie prince waited at the door of the church to greet the bishop, who surprised him by telling him that he had been intro- duced to him once before in London when the British heir was a boy of 7. . The afternoon was devoted to golf and on the. links the prince had his second ‘introduction of the day, this time to a British veteran of the war, Private Christopher Nelson of the Lancashire Fusiliers.

Nov, 16.—Replying to a scnate inquiry as to what had been done toward deporting Emma Gold- man and Alexander Berkman, Attor- ney Gegeral Palmer declared tonight that the woman's' claim to American citizenship was “fallacious” and that Berkman, by his own admission, was an-_anarchist. . The Goldman case is under consid- eration by immigration authorities at New York and the attorney general's statément was taken to mean that the government would soon attempt to send’ her-back to Russla, where she was born. * “Discnseing Goldman's elaim to citi sbip. Mr. Palmer said”she wwas 24 old when her father was natur- ¥ alized, and that her age barred her from inheriting naturalization rights from him. The fact that her husband obtained his citizenship through fraud, Mr. Palmiet added. cancelled any claim she might have established ~through that source. The ramifications to which the plots and plans of the group of anarchists headed ‘by Emma -Goldman have ex- tended were reviewed by the attorney general. eclaring that both Mathew Sehmidt and David_Caplan, who are serving prison sentences for complic- ity in the destruction of the Los An- zeles Times building, were members of, the Goldman clan, he showed also ihat she advocated violence and had incited riots as early as 1893 when she vas sentenced to serve one year on Rlackwell's' Island after indictment on these charges. Mr. Palmer included in the statement a transcript of the confession _ of CZzolgosz, who shot President McKinle§, in which he told of the influence Emma Geidman's teachings had exercised on his life. Further’ agents proved that he had not only heard her speak but frequently had consulted with her as to methods to be' employed in effecting the destruc- tion of the government. The connection of both Berkman and Emma Goldman with the Bolsheviki movement also was emphasized by Mr. Plamer. The activties of the Union of Russian Workers said to be one of the most dangerous ‘organizations in America, and -against which the gov ernment has directed a vigorous cam- paign. has been traced. directly to the Goldman-Berkman propaganda head- quarters, he said.
