411 Russian Government to Forni at Omsk sfatement Indieates Plans Have Been Completed foi Organized State of Fac tjons Opposed to Rcds WASHINGTON, May 9.?The strength of the Omsk government is such that p formal declaxation made to-day bj S, tJghet, charge d'affaires ad interirc of the Russian Embassy, begins: "The hour which Russian patriots nnd democrats have been waiting foi liaring long months has come at last.' The statemont indicates that the.de tails of the establishment of the gov? ernment at Omsk as the all-Russiar forenuncnt have been completed. Thanks are given to the United States and thp Allied nations foi tha assistance rendered the new government, and ^especially to the Czecho-Slovak Republic, whose sol niers stemmed the flood of Bolshevism at the most critical time before the Omsk government could be organized. "Russia is coming back to life," toncludt? the statement, "and the near ":turc will see her a great organized state, built on broad demoeratic prin? ciples, with equality before the iaw for every crced and nationality. Rus sia'a constitutional, social and national problems will be solved through the ,. I Russian Gonstituent AssemBiy." PAR1S, May 0.?The movement for the recognition of the government of Admiral Kolchak at Omsk by the Allies and the United States as the ue facto government in Russia is supported so generally in Paris that announcement of such action any day wouid not be ! urprisrng. -President Tschaikowsky of the Northern Russian government in Arch angel has conseitted to recognize the F.otchak govertiment as the centiai gov? ernment of Russia on condition that tbe Archangel and other local govern ments are permitted to retain control of iocal affairs. Similar action is ex? pected on the part of General Dene kine, the head of the Cossack govern? ment at Ekaterinburg, whose advisjrs in Paris have recommended it. The Russian factions in Paris ap parently are comirig together on a piatform providing for the support of an? government which guarantees a lonstitutional assembly elecied by uni? versal suffrage. Former Premier Ke refisky, who is now in Paris, opposes tbe government of Admiral Kolchak, but the admiral's repeated promises of a constitutional assembly apparently have satished most of the Russian rad kals in Paria. Meanwhile encouraging reports have __ en received here of the progress of Kolchak'? troops against the Bolshe ' iki. From east of Samara northward tbe Boisheviki are being pushed back. On the extreme northern wing the Bol Bnevikj are retreating rapidly a few miles east of the i'mportitnt railway and manufacturmg town of Viatkau U* S.

Human Bones Found In Paris "Death VinV' PARIS, May 8.?Calcined human bones are said to have been discovered by the policc in the villa at Gambass, owned by Henri Landru, who is under arrest on suspicion of being able to ex plain the disappearance of several women in the recent past. According to the police, the trunks of the women were burned in the furnace of the villa and their limbs were burned in the fireplace'of the house. 1 he authorities found a niass of .--toncs piled against a wall of the villa. These stones evidently belong to a fur? nace and elinging to them, it is said, were foi.nd hits of melted glass, in which were pieces of bones, which phy Kicians have declared to be human. These bones nre alleged to includc three fragments of human skulls. Lee Says Covenant Assures Red Cross World Health Plan Major, Assistant to Chair? man Davidson, Arrives Home With Optimistic Report on Activities Ivy Lee, a major of the Red Cross. who went abroad in December as an assistant to Henry P. Davison, chair nian cf the war council. arrived here yesterday on the White Star liner Bal tic with an optimistic report on the outlook for the organization's world wide peace activities. The most promising assurance of the Red Cross's future usefulness, he said, lies in the fact that the revised league o!' nations covenant provides for its peace activities. "Clause XXV." said Mr. Lee. "was inserted at the instance of a committee of which Mr. Davison was chairman, representing the Red Cross organiza tions of the United States. Great Brit? ain. France, Italy and Japan. Presi dent Wilson and Colonel House were particularly interested in this ciause. "Many of the national Red Cross or .?iin';.ations havo been conlined by their charters to works of war, and without the new ciause would have been un? able to engage in the new field of ac tivities without obtaining new national charters. "The conference of specialists which j met at (annes, France, on April 1 drew up prcgrammes which might be recommended to the peoples of the world through their Red Cross socie? ties toward the prevention and cure of tubercuiosis, malaria. veneroal disease and aiso efTorts in tho fields of nursing. infant welfare and general public health and hygiene. "The plan now being developed i? to "et up an organization with headquar ,er? at Geneva and in close coopera tion with the league of nations. Under the plan the Red Cross organization in , each country remains absolutely au ; tonomous. "Another f^ature of great import nnce is the expectatton that through i the newly-created international organ? ization all the nations will be able promptly to allevlate Ruffering in caaes of pestilemce, famine, or other forms of acute distress.. "The whole world ls being aroused as never before over the importaace of human health, And it isbelieved that this plan to mobilize the volunteer ef forts of people everywhere on behalf of the weliare of humanity will make the league of nations not alcme a prevent ive of war, but an active agent pro moting the welfare of mankind in peace.''

Hot pisputes Mark Trial Of Glassberg Former Brooklyu High School Teaehcr Refuses to A n s w e r Questions as to P o 1 i t i c a 1 Views Bolshevism Is Diseussed Ca?e Is Closed aiul Verdiet ?f Board Will Be An nounced at Early Meeting The red flag. a news item in The j Tribune, the Left wing of the Socialist party, Bolshevism, Socialist Sunday ? schools, revolutionary tactics of the . American Socialists and the aboiition of the capitalist system were some of ? the subjccts discussed yesterday af ternoon at. the Board of Education's i trial of Benjamin Glassberg, suspend | ed from the Commercial High School I in Brooklyn, charged with defending i Bolshevism to his pupils. The case was closed after the eve j ning session and it was announced that | the testimony will be examined and a I decision given in a few weeks at a ' regular meeting of the board. Wilson Statemcnts Quoted Before the conclusion of the testi? mony, Gilbert E. Roc. a former law i partner of Robert M. La Follette and ' counsel for Glassberg, read from : President Wilson's "Sew Freedom" to prove that certain statements attrib \ uted to Glassberg were not unpatri i otic, as similar sentiments had been ; uttered by the President. Mr. Roe's claims provoked the ire j of Edward Mayer, counsel for the board, who bitterly assailed the Bol? sheviki as enemies of society and trait ' ors to their own country. When the afternoon session was ; opened by Arthur S. Somers, president of the board, Mr. Roe asked permission .0 read from a news story that ap peared in The Tribune of May 6, which was headod "Americanism To Be En oiced in Schools Here." Roe Assails Tildsley The item read by Mr. Roe quoted Dr. John L. Tildsley, associate superin tendent of schools, as saying that Americanism was 10 be put above everything else in the classroom, and as discussing certain aspects of the Glassberg case. Mr. Roe insisted on asking Dr. Tildsley whether the state ment attributed to him were his, but was overrulcd by Mr. Somers on the objection of Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward Mayer in charge of the prosecution. _Mr. Roe said in this connection that if Dr. Tildsley had discussed a trial in h regular court in such a manner he would be haled before that court for contempt. Mr. Roe then called Thomas D. I'hacher, of 16L' East Seventieth Street. who testified, in answer to questions, that he was a lawyer and had been secretary of the Red Cross mission ? o Russia, where he staved from July. I 1917, to March, 1918. He said he had : -,erved under Colonel Raymond Robins, : who was in charge of the entire mis \ sion. Glassberg's Record Good J. Ryan, a clerk of the Board of i Education, produced official records of ! the board, which, on being read, dis 1 ciosed the fact that Glassberg's record ; was "A-A," or the highest that could 1 be obtained. Jerome Davi3, of 510 West 124th Street, testified that he was a Y. M. . C. A. worker and that he had been in Russia in such capacity from April, ; 1916, to September, 1918, and that he [ had had an excellent opportunity to I observe the work of the Bolsheviki. He said that the Sovie^s had alway3 ; been the "real" power in Russia since ! the revolution had occnrred and that ! Kerensky's government was purely I "theoretical." ; Glassberg then took the stand in | his own defence and read a statement : of his position. As to the charge that : he had told one of his pupils, George | Ma?k, that the red flag could, "in a I sense." be ptjt above the American flag, I he declared it to be totally erroneous. Refuses to Answer i "When the session was over," said j Glassberg, "George Mack followed me out of the room and showed me a i flipping from The New York Tribune and asked me whether I agreed with ; Alderman Lee's statement on the red flag. I read it very hurriedly and found that Alderman Lee had said in a . discussion at the Board of Aldermen, concerning the red flag. 'there is a ,: sense in which it is true.' Glassberg went on to say that he personally had , said nothing of the aort. When he got through reading his : statement Glassberg was asked by Mr. ; Mayer: "Do you believe devotion to the red flag is a reiigion?" "I have no beliefs," said Glassberg, i "on that question at all." "Have you any devotion to the red flag?" persisted Mr. Mayer. Mr. Roe interposed and said that it | was his belief that Glassberg was a Socialist and that it was generally admitted that the rc-d flag was the emblem of the Socialist party. He ob jected, howevei; to the asking of the question, because he believed there NEW YORK Offer today Special Lines of Coats and Capes Fashionablc models of twill?gab ardine?tricotine and glove cloth? taken from higher cost groups and especially priced at *65 I I was nothing that chargcs Glassbers < v. ith being a Socialist. X?JsHch char8es?" declared Mr. Roe '_ would be entertained for a minute m any court." Mr. Roe went on to say that tn*a line of cxamination was in direct accord with Dr. Tildslev"-. statcme.it :n Tho Tribune that t.each ers with "Marxian Socialist" v^ews would be examined. He was overruled and Glassberg waa directed to answer the question as to his devotion to the rcd flag. "I must very politely," answered Glassberg, "decline to answer pir lucstions as to my persona), socia!. po litical or economie views." "Are you a Socialist?" asked Mr Mayer. Sileut as to Views "I must decline to answer that ques? tion," -replied Glas-beig, qUilc r~e. .-.pectfuiiy, "buv I defy anybody to ask me lhat question. any more than to ask me about my rcligion." "Do you believe you may hold views," asked Mr. Mayer, "antagonistic to oiir form of government as a tsacher in the public schools?" "I believe," returned Glassberg, "that I may cntertain any views so long as . I advocate them by peaceful and law ful means." In answer to other questions, Gla*s i berg testilied he had Icctured in the Rand School of Social Science on eco | i:omic subjects and had been a mem l ber of the board of managers of the I Xew York "Call," a Socialist daily, up to last week. Condemns Moderate Socialists Considerable discussion was aroused ; by a letter which Glassberg had signed among others that was published in "Tho Call" for March 23, 1919. which ' demanded n reorganization of the , American Socialist party, and a con ; demnation of "moderate Sociaiists" i and "social patriots." In answer to a : question, Glassberg said men like j Scheidemann and Ebert were meant to : be classified in that manner. Glassberg then said. in answer to j questions, that he had based his state ment. that Lenine and Trotzky were not ; agents or spios in German pay by ( readinR- newspaper stories in The Trib ? une, "The Times," and "Nation" and ; "Xew Republic." which stated that ; both these men had by means of propa I ganda undcrmined the morale of the j German army and thuS indirectly ; brought on the revolution. [ Later, when Mr. Roe was questioning i Glassberg, Fred D. Wilsey, a member i of the board interrupted to ask, "Are , there not. Sunday schools operated by ; the Socialist party?" , "No," replied Glassberg, "not that I ', know of." Are they not taught by teachers," j continued Mr. Wilsey. "who are raeni , bers of the Socialist party exclu ; sively?" "Xot always," answered Glassberg. "What is the age of the pupils at tending these schools?" asked Mr. Wil ; sey. "From between the years of nine and ? seventeen," replied Glassberg. "Are you a teacher in one of these schools?" asked Mr. Wilsey, finally. ? "I aiii," shot back Glassberg without : hesita^ion. Gen.

Penrose Piisli i oill lor Budget System Mo*t Important Work Ahead of Congress After Appro-j priation Measure* Are Disposed Of, H<> Inr-ists Would Kill Luxury Tax Also Pennsylvania Senator Sees Need for Remoying Kestrietions 011 Business .Vew York Tribune Washington Bureau | WASHINGTON, May 9.?Senator | Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, who will head the Finance Committee of the next Senate. in an interview here to-day said he would introduce legis- j lation to cstablish a hudget system \ at the next session of Congress. Other | legislation which Senator Penrose be- j i lieves will have early consideration is ia repeal of the luxury .taxes and the iformulation of a ship-operating pro gramme, the absence of which, he said, is now menacing the shipping industry of the country. "The first task of Congress will be consideration of the anpropriation bills ? which failcd of passage in the last' Congress," said Senator Penrose. I "These bills, of course, have to be I passed before the end of the fiscal year, which will be the end of June. Even as it is, hardly time is permit tcd for the proper consideration of j these important measurcs, involving billions of dollars. The fact is that I Congress should have been called to- ; gether a month ago, Until the ap propriation bills are disppsed of it is not likely that any other legisla- , tion can get'much consideration. To Repeal Luxury Taxes "It is likely that a resolution will be pressed repealing the so-called lux- j ury taxes. These were insertcd in the j revenue bill by the House Ways and j Means Committee under stress of war conditions, and later, after the armis- ! tice, were eliminated by the Finance Committee of the Senate with the con- ! currence of Treasurv officials as being I harassirig and difficult of enforcement. j The resolution repealing these taxes j would*have passed in the last Con-' gress had it had consideration. "Perhaps the most important legis- j iation related to revenuos is that to : provide for a hudget system, and by this I mean a budget system that is administrative and legislative. There is an almost complete absence of a bud? get system in the government of the United States. and this fact, r.ogether with thc habit of extravagance and wasteful expenditures rieveloped by the war. will produce a chaotic condition unless such a system is provided for. | Would Simplify Tax Laws "I.ater on the question of changing the tax laws is to be taken up with & yiew to simplifying the returns which individuab and corporations must make out." Discussing thc possibility of reduc ing taxes, Senator Penrose said: "The rcduction or possible increase in taxation goes back to the budget system. It is no exaggeration to say that no official of the government is in ^l^^^^^^^a^^^^^^^^^^^M^ ME SUITS that are ldly proclaimed tan d - tailored - through? out" havemachinestitch ing in the same places that our hand - tailored ready-to-wear suits have machine stitching.
