By Carter Field
WASHINGTON. 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.

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."

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. Thoy

Flynn to Aid
F. P. 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.

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.
