June 8.?Special in? terests in New York have had complete copies of the peace treaty with Ger? man), while the text has been denied to the American public and to the Senate which must ratify the treaty, and while the Administration has re fisted every effort to force publicity. This charge was made on the floor of the Senate to-day by Senator Henry ; Cabot Lodge, Republican leader of the : Senate, and chairman of the Foreign ;' Rjlations Committee, and by Senator ; William E. Borah.. The two Senators ? went on the floor prepared to makej the charge, each without knowing thu ? other was in possession of the infor- [ rr.ation. Contains 208 Pages Some of the developments of the ; Situation are: 1. The language of an addendum, almost as long as The covenant of tiie league of nations, setting up an international labor council is de? clared to be most sweeping. ThL council has the right to investigate ?abor conditions in atiy country in the world. It could investigate negro labor in the South, for in? stance, it is declared, or child labor, or any other labor situation. Each signatory of the treaty would be entitled to four delegates to this international conference, two to rep? resent the government, one labor and one the public. 2 Some of the New Yorkers are sa;d to have declared that the coun? try will be "turned upside down" ?'hen some of the sections of the peace treaty are made public. They are said to declare that the treaty could never obtain the approval of th* country, 3?The full text of the treaty takes j op 20S printed pages. Senator Lodge laid he read it in a New York office the other day. Six Copies in New York 4 -The New York interests have at ' least six copies of the treaty, Mr Lodge says, one of which he read ; snd another of which he saw. He ' *a? offered permission to bring one to Washington to show his col ieagues, but was denied permission to make it public. 5?While admitting that copies of the treaty were gelling on the streets in Germany for 15 cents each, Mr. Lodge denied the New York copies aa-j come from Germany, saying they had been given out by the President's agenta in France, if not by the Pres? ident's own order. ft- Senator Borah declared the New Torlt copies he knew about, which had been "passed around the table of a board of director's meeting at ? Wal! Street inBtitution," also had come from the American peace mis? ti?n headquarters and not from Germany. I? Denied by Polk 1.

Call Troops In Toledo; 2 Die in Riot Ex-Soldier Guards at Ov? erland Plant Fire Into Mob of Idle Workers; Three Attacks in Day TOLEDO, June 3.?Following a riot in which two men were shot to death and two others dangerously wounded, i Mayor Schreiber announced that he liad appealed to Governor Cox to send ; troops here and that he expected the Governor would comply with the re | quest. The house adjoining the I Mayor's was stoned and its windows smashed, presumably by sympathizers of the 13,000 striking employes of the Willy's Overland Automobile Com? pany. The victims, presumably idle em? ployes of the company, were killed by | discharged soldiers who are guarding the plant. The killing was the culmi? nation of three riots to-day and to? night which resulted in the injury of thirteen persons. The killing occurred in front of a fire station near the automobile plant, where a discharged soldier guard, with ;-. woman companion, had sought refuge i rom a threatening crowd. The guard had been walking through a district in habitated by strikers and fled to the fire station when a crowd of men hooted him and made menacing re? marks. Calls for assistance brought two mo? tor truck loads of soldier guards from the automobile plant. When they ar? rived at the station one of them fired a pistol into the air. The guards then fired their rifles and pistols into the crowd. The Mayor said all available deputy sheriffs had been sworn in, but that he was "unable to cope with the situa? tion." Violence started early in the day when a crowd of strikers stormed cars carrying loyal employes to the plant, smashed the car windows with stones and bricks and pulled workers into the streets, where they were beaten. The situation flamed into a pitched battle to-night when id e workers numbering 5,000, including many wom? en, stormed the entrances of the plant as the employes were leaving, beat thorn with clubs and felled them with a shower of stones and bricks. The streets ?n front of the plant were lit? tered with missiles and broken glass. Palmer Says Plan Of "Reds"Failed Terrorist Plot Only Serves to Increase Ac? tivities of Detectives Kev Yorl: Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, June 3.- A Mitchell j Palmer, whose home was partly de? stroyed by bombs last night, issued the ? following statement this evening: "The outrages of last night indicate , nothing but the lawless attempt of an anarchistic element in the population to terrorize the country and thus stay the hand of the government. This they have utterly failed to do. "Tins'- attacks by bomb throwers will only increase and extend the ac? tivities of our crime-destroying force?. . We are determined now as heretofore that organized crime directed against organised government in this country b) all be stopped."

Police Seek Source' of Dodgers Left bv Men Who Blew Up Judge Nott's House j Unusual Color Of Paper Used At Least 25 Pounds of Dynamite in the Bomb, Says Eagan A few light red handbills found on the scene of the explosion and bearing a printed anarchistic manifesto headed : "Plain Words" are the only tangible clews to the bomb explosion that part ly wrecked the home of Judge Charles C. Nott. jr., at 151 ' East Sixty-first ' Street, early yesterday morning. The efforts of several score of fo- ' licemen and volunteer searchers re suited in the partial assembling of the pieces of a human body that had been scattered by the terrific force of the explosion over the brownstone facades of the houses on the south side of Sixty-first Street between Lexington and Third avenues. They found one piece in the shat- ? tered vestibule of Judge Nott's homo, j another at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Sixty-first Street. A ring of keys and a piece of gray uniform cloth were picked up in the street. Identify Watchman's Keys These articles were submitted by the police to the inspection of the two sons of William Boehner, of 871 Brook Ave- ! nue, The Bronx. The young men iden- j tified the keys as those of their father, i who was a special watchman, employed to guard, among others, the home of Judge Nott. For eighteen years Will- j iam Boehner had patrolled the block in which he met death. The residents I of the quiet street knew him as an in dividual of such regularity that they - were almost prepared to set their ! clocks by his movements. It is the theory of Inspector Owen Eagan, of the Police Department's bu- ; reau of combustibles, that Boehner's j attention was attracted by the sputter- j ing fuse of the infernal machine on the stoop of Judge Nott's home, and that the old watchman courageously mounted the brownstone steps. The complete destruction of the watch? man's body convinced Inspector Eagan that the old man was actually bending over and examining the bomb when the explosive went off. Seek to Trace Red Paper That is as far as the police have gone in their efforts to reconstruct the crime. Scores of detectives are canvassing the offices of paper dealers and manufacturers to lind the source of the light red dodgers. Other detec? tives with some of the handbills are canvassing type founders in the metro? politan district. The efforts of all arc to narrow the search for the criminals. The type with which the printing was done is old and worn. The paper is cheap, but of an unusual shade. When the detectives identify the man? ufacturer of the paper they will have arrived precisely at the point where their hunt was balked in their search for the fvtay Day bomb plotters, who sent more than a score of infernal machines through the mails. Inspector Eagan said yesterday af? ternoon, as he sat on the steps of a house opposite the windowless home of ! Judge Nott, that he had been unable j to find a single particle of substance! that could be identified as part of the j infernal machine that killed Boehner j and shattered about three hundred win- j dows in the vicinity of the Nott resi- j dence. Much Dynamite Used But, judging from the force and ? character of the explosion, the color j of the smoke that filled the street and j an expert's "hunch," Inspector Eagan j was prepared to bet that twenty or i twenty-Hive pounds of dynamite had been used in making the bomb. More- I over, he believed that an ordinary I blasting fuse and detonaters had been j used. All of these features, ho said, were characteristic of a type of in? fernal machine known to police ex? perts as "Italian bombs." Squads of uniformed police all i day yesterday kept guard at each end j of the block in Sixty-first Street, in which the explosion occurred.

Garvan in Hunt for6 Reds' Former Chief of Secret Service Assigned to Help New York Man in Nation? wide Seareli for Bombers WASHINGTON, June ."..-Francis P. Garvan, of New York, to-day was named ; Assistant Attorney General of the United States by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, and his first big job ] will be to search for the anarchists ? who last night instituted a reign of i terror in eight cities. Mr. Garvan retains the duties of Alien Property Custodian and will have for his assistants in special investiga? tion work John T. Creighton, of Springfield, 111., and William J. Flynn, former chief of the United States Secret Service and more recently head of the railroad administration's police ! force. The secret service of the Treasury I Department, of which William 11. M Moran is the head; the Postoffice De- i partment, with all its inspectors and agents, and all the experts of the Bu- I reau of Mines will cooperate with Mr. Garvan and his two assistants in running down the bomb outrage perpe? trators. Mr. Garvan, while acting as Alien j Property Custodian, has been remark- i ably successful in unearthing German spy plots. To-day when asked by At? torney General Palmer to accept the : post of Assistant Attorney General and take charge of all special investiga- ; tions he accepted without hesitation. After a conference of the Attorney | General und his two newly appointed ' assistants the long distance telephone was used to get into communication with "Big Bill" Flynn, who was in New j Y'ork. It took Flynn just about two minutes to make up his mind to accept when lie was asked to take chnrge of the bureau of investigation for the De? partment of Justice. According to the general impression around the Capitol, Flynn, while work? ing under the genera! and nominal supervision of Assistant Attorney Gen? eral Garvan, will be given a free hand ; in his work. Federal agents said to-day they were ? working on the theory that the bomb outrages were planned and executed j by the leaders of the I. W. W. and anarchist groups which have been; active in the East for some time. "From what we have been able to ? learn," said one Federal official, "these bomb:; were designed to start a reign of terror throughout the coun-' try. They failed, and those responsible for the crime:! will be apprehended and prosecuted. I believe the bombs were' the work of anarchists, but there is no doubt that a large group worked in ? this case. "I think the bomb set off at the home | of Justice Nott, in New York, was in- j tended for Federal Judge John ('. Knox, who hiiH sat in a number of de? portation cases. You know, these an- i archintu get everything wrong, even ! the nnmos and identity of peor le they think they have grievances aguinst." ? Congress Ready to Enact Laws to Curb Radicals Members Eager to Pass Any Legislation De? manded by the Department of justice; Ber? ger Puts Blame on Repression of Freedom Neto York Tribuno Washington Burean WASHINGTON, June 3 ?Congress stood ready to-day to enact with all possible expedition any legislation suggested by the Department of Justice or the Department of Labor that will aid in the suppression of revolutionary and anarchistic activi? ties in the United States. Few Senators or Representatives will oppose the enactment or any law, how? ever drastic, that is needed by the executive departments to cope with and suppress such outrages as those that occurred in Washington and other American cities last night. Congress :;;-, a whole was indignant over the outrage aimed against Attor? ney General A. Mitchell Palmer. Only one member of Congress in any way condoned the crime. He was Victor Berger, Socialist Representative from Milwaukee, whose right to sit in the House is being contested and who is under a twenty-year prison sentence for violation of the espionage act. "Natural Result," Says Berger "The bomb outrages of the anarch? ists are insane, of course, but this in? sanity is the natural result and the logical answer to the insane outraging of the free press and the right of free speech by the ruling class," Berger said. Conscious of the proposals for dras? tic legislation that bomb outrages had called forth, Berger predicted a "cata? clysm such as the world has never seen before" if oppressive legislation is re? sorted to in order to combat radicalism. While many proposals for legislation wcro discussed, none was written into bill? and introduced in either house. Leaders of the House and Senate said they were ready to press "any legisla? tion the executive departments will propose and enforce" to quick passage. Privately they expressed the beliei that the laws already on the statute books are broad enough in scope to per? mit the government to deal with any situation that has thus far arisen. - Attention was called to the fact that under the present immigration laws the Commissioner of Immigration ha? authority to exclude from the countrj any person who holds anarchistic be liefs, advocates the destruction of prop? erty or preaches defiance of law or do struction of the existing form of gov eminent. Even a naturalized citizei may be deported if he is found to have violated his oath of fealty. Representative Mondell, Rep?blica! leader of the House, conferred witl the Attorney General to-day, but re ceived no'suggestions ?s to new law, that would assist the Department o Justice in dealing with the presen situation. "There is no difference of opinion il the country or in Congress as to th I necessity of apprehending and punish ! ing bomb throwers, those guilty of acts i of outrage and violence and those who j | preach, approve and encourage such i acts,'* Mr. Mondell said. "I take it for granted that the de- | 1 partments of the government charged | j with the enforcement of the laws and ! preservation of order will do their full | I duty in this regard. Says Congress Is Reaiiy "So far as I am at present advised, i I do not know that any further legis? lation is necessary for the appre? hension and punishment of the perpe? trators of these crimes, but should it '? be found necessary and requested by I the department Congress may be de 1 pended upon to give prompt considera? tion to such suggestions and recom ; mendations. "The appropriate committees of Con | gross will give prompt consideration ? to the suggestions chat have been made with regard to legislation providing for the deportation of undesirable and ! criminal aliens." In some quarters a general round : up of radicals was suggested, and in I others the proposal was made that ' martial law be proclaimed in those quarters where anarchists are known ' to reside, to continue until the whole i gang involved in last night's outrages I is apprehended. Several representa i tives invited attention to the fact that j a bomb thrown from the open gal ; leries into the chamber of either the Senate or the House would practically ! wipe out either body, and the criminal , could not easily be apprehended. Would Deport Aliens A special sessi.n of the House Im ; migration Committee to consider drast \ ic immigration legislation introduced ! by its chairman, Representative Albert , Johnston, of Washington, has been ! called for Thursday. Representative | Johnston advocated the immediate ex? pulsion from the country of every alien ? known to have anarchistic tendencies i and an immediate registration of all j aliens in this country. "I believe the present bomb outrages ; are the beginning of an attempt to I start a reign of the 'red terror' in this country," Representative Johnston said. "They are not the efforts of individ? uals, but are part of an organized effort at terrorization. They are the work of anarchists, Bolsheviki and I. W. W.'s and are intended to inflame class consciousness and to bring on the gen? eral strike at which all these revolu? tionaries are aiming. Since the Social? ist party has seen fit to purge itself of 25,000 of its members, who were foreign agitators and revolutionaries, I believe the United States should do likewise."

Man Named in Pittsburgh as Maker of Bomb Clew Given by Young Woman Expected to Result in an Important Arrest; Fif? teen Others Are Taken PITTSBURGH, June '.',.- Arrest of a man who manufactured the bombs which exploded last night near the homes of Federal Judge W. H. S. : Thompson and W. W. Sibray, chief in? spector of the Bureau of Immigration, is expected soon by authorities who are I investigating the outrages. Police officials said to-night that they had secured the name of the bombmaker from John Johnson, 35, president of the L W. W. organization in Pittsburgh. ; who was arrested to-day, after a fight with officers. Authorities refused to divudge the name* of the bombrnaker, but said that a number of detectives are searching: for him. He is alleged to have come to Pittsburgh about ten days ago from Cleveland. Johnson, according to the police, told the name of the bombmaker after he had been confronted by evidence fur- ? nished by Miss Florence Becker, who gave the police a description of two men, who she says, placed a package on the porch of a house across from In? spector Sibray's home shortly before the explosion occurred. Miss Becker < described Johnson, even to his manner I of dress, as one of the men, according to the police. Fifteen suspects, believed to know ; something about the explosions, wore taken into custody here to-day. Of them only one was an American citi- ; zen. Of the others tight are Russian, two Croatian, one Hungarian, one Aus- j trian and two Irish. Johnson, who has his offices in the ; Apollo Building, was overpowered by Detective Jacob lsier and three aids when he refused to submit. When Isler entered Johnson's office the lat ter drew a revolver and shot at the ! detective. The bullet passed through the left sleeve of Isler's coat, grazing the arm. Isler dived across the desk , to grapple with Johnson, and his assist? ants, crowding into the room, helped . disarm Johnson and placed him under i arrest. Secret Service operatives here are ! confident that the bomb which damaged four East End homes was meant for the residence of United States Judge W. H. S. Thomson, who was absent when the explosion occurred, about midnight, at the home of B. J. Cassady, on Ayles- I boro Avenue. Mr. Cassady is general \ manager of the paint department of the Pittsburgh Glass Company. In this i explosion the Cassady residence and the homes of F. B. Lincoln, vice-presi? dent of the Pittsburgh Coal Company; W. P. Witherow. president of the Witherow Steel Company, and Judge Thomson were damaged to the extent of several thousand dollars. The second explosion occurred a few minutes after the first and tore ; out the front of the residence of Her bert E. Joseph, in Glasgow Street, > Sheridan. - 1 Hat of Dead Bomber and Copies of 'Plain Words' Found at Scene of Explosion L W. W. Leader Resists Arrest No Known Radical Will Be Allowed to Leave Country Twenty-four hours of search by De? partment of Justice agents and police have brought to light only two definite clews to the identity of the band of "reds" whose bombs exploded in eight cities early yesterday morning. Anarchistic handbills, entitled "Plain Words," identical with that dis? covered in front of the shattered home of Attorney General Palmer in Washington, were picked up in New York City yesterday. The police are striving to find where they were printed. The other clew is the sweatband of the hat of the man who was blown up by the bomb intended for the. Attorney General This was stamped "De Luca Broth? ers, 919 South Eighth Street, Philadelphia." Department of Justice agents have taken the rem? nants of the hat to Philadelphia, in the hope that its makers may be? able to identify the dealer to whom it was sold. Sixteen men have thus far been ar? rested on suspicion?one in Eos ton, fifteen in Pittsburgh and 3 in Cleveland. A mass of I. W. W. and similar literature has been confiscated. The most important arrest thus far has been of a man calling himself John Johnston, secretary of a Pittsburgh branch of the Indus? trial Workers of the World. He was taken after a fight. The homes of Mayor Hylan and other city officials here are under heavy police guard. In Washing? ton Department of Justice men and police are watching all public buildings. In Baltimore police cordons have been thrown about the home of Cardinal Gibbon? and other men of prominence. Dead Bomber Was From Philadelphia Railroad Check Showed He Reached Washington at 10:30 Monday !\ight WASHINGTON, .T'jne 3. Washing? ton police inspectors early to-day be? lieved they had identified th< man who was blown to piece.- last night in an effort to kill Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer with a bomb, as an anarchist of Philadelphia. They also said they were confident the nation? wide plot against the lives of govern? ment officials and prominent business men had been laid in that city. A blood-stained conduct r's identifi? cation check, founfl in -ru.' o* Mr Palmer's residence, showed that the anarchist arrived in Wa hington ac 10:30 o'clock last night from Vr phia. He went directly from the Union Station to the Palmer home, ard only a few minutes before the ex? plosion he was seen alighting from a streetcar a few blocks away bj < . S. Briggs, of Marion, S. C. Identity Kept Secret The puce would not reveal the .(?en? tity of the man, but they felt confident the facts they had gathered would lead quickly to the apprehension of his as? sociates, who they believe also were responsible for the May Day bomb plot in which many infernal machines ad? dressed to government officials, mem? bers of Congress and business men were placed in the mails. The anarchist, apparently was of Italian birth or parentage. His scalp. found by the police at daylight, had upon it hair that was dark and curly. Included in the heap of tattered, scorched, bloodstained fragments of clothing and articles belonging to the man was a much thumbed Italian American dictionary, indicating its owner knew little English. According to a description given out by the police, the man was wearing a black suit with green stripes, white shirt with green and yellow stripes. , ?'
