New Laws for ?urbitag Recb jPecided Upon Governor and U. S. Officials, Meeting Here, Agree on Bills That Legislature Will Be Asked to Enact Measures To Be Drastic Nation-Wide Bomb Plots Hatched in Bessemer, Pa., Says Chief of Police The enactment of emergency legisla? tion to protect the city and state against the outrages of anarchists and other exponents of social disorder is said to have been decided upon yes? terday at the close of a secret con? ference between Governor Smith, Will? iam J. Flynn and Francis P. Garvan, of -the Federal Department of Justice. The meeting was held in the apart? ments of Governor Smith at the Hotel Biltmore. Though details of the pro? ceedings were not made public, it was learned that the Governor was so im? pressed with the facts laid before him by Mr. Garvan and Mr. Flynn that he ?decided to have drawn up immediately ?severe measures which would be pre aented at the next session of the Leg? islature. These proposed statutes, it is believed, will provide more adequate facilities for checking the efforts of the Reds throughout the state and will ?dmit of broad interpretation. Heavy penalties are said to have been pro? posed for all violations. Decision on a tentative programme for New York City also was reached. It is said to include special ordinances which will be recomended to Mayor Eylan for immediate pasage. This inove was decided on in view of the possibility of rio*s growing out of atrikes or further bomb outrages, and ?lis a precautionary measure for the "revolution" which the Reds have ad- j Vertised to happen early in July. Governor Smith declined last night to discuss the meeting. While he would not deny the conference had ; keen held, he said he had given out no j information officially and said further j that he would deny any reports of the j proceedings. District Attorney Newton, counsel j for the state legislative committee to j investigate Bolshevism, conferred dur- j ing the afternoon with Governor j Smith. Judge Newton said last night j that the committee would hold its first ' meeting here some time this week. [ He said he had "talked over the situa? tion generally" with the Governor, but ? that nothing definite had been de aided on. "Our members have been working ' since the committee was formed, but have never had a meeting. It will be ? ft long time before the report is ready," | he said. Senator Clayton R. Lusk is chairman I of the committee. He was due to ar? rive in New York last night. Other members of the committee will arrive to-day. Judge Newton said the com? mittee would cooperate with the au? thorities investigating the bomb out? rages in all cases where they would be mutually helpful. This was intimated by Mr. Flynn following a conference of national and I local authorities here yesterday on the j ? bomb outrages of last Monday night. Superintendent William Offley, of the ? local Department of Justice office, and ! George E. Kelleher, head of the Boston ! headquarters, are among those partici- ! pating in the discussion. "Very excellent progress," said Mr, Flynn, "has been made in running out the clews, particularly those referring I to the Washington explosion. In this j respect we are better off to-day than ; we were yesterday. In connection with those latest findings there may be some ' action against persons connected with the Palmer house case in the very near - future." Concerning the report that the iden tity of the bomber of Judge Nott's j house on Sixty-first Street had been established, Mr. Flynn said that, as ! far as he was concerned, no such iden- ; tification had yet been made. The clews in this case, he intimated, were rather scanty. He had not yet heard ; what connection the finding of a shell j under a pillar of the Philadelphia sub- ! way had with the present plot. The Shell has been examined at the Frank ford Arsenal, and is believed to be a ' "dud." Mr. Flynn will have another con- ! Terence with the officials here to-day. He said it was probable he would malie his headquarters in New York instead of Philadelphia. Bessemer, Pa., Is Called Centre of Bomb Plots Police Chief Says ?Dynamite; Missiles Were Prepared ' There by Red Operatives "The World" publishes this morning ? dispatch from a staff correspondent at Newcastle, Pa., saying James J. Fin- ! nerty, Chief of Police of Bessemer, Pa., ! "has practically convinced" detectives working on the recent bomb outrages that the dynamiter killed by his own bomb in Washington was in Bessemer, May 20 and 27, and that the town was the centre of the plot. The man blown up, Finnerty said, was an I. W. W. agitator from Elgin, III. The victim of his own bomb wore tan shoes with red rubber heels. Fin? nerty said he saw the man having those ' ?Soles put on his tan shoes in Michael | Bcgich's shoe shop in Bessemer, May j 5iO His description of the man in the j c rolar*? shop agrees with that of the j ?toan killed at the home of Attorney j General A. Mitchell Palmer?"heavy ! ?et, probably weighing 180 to 200 > pounds." Bolshevik meetings were held in a i house on the outskirts of the village ; 4>T Bessemer in February, March, April and May. In that house Finnerty found copies of the pink circular of tho "Fighting Anarchists" entitled: "Plain Words," fragments of which were picked up near the ?enes of the recent bomb explosion?. Finnerty also had lengths of "scalp < Jron" tubing, two Inches in diameter and ten inches long, which are identi? cal in appearance with th? tubing uaed In making of tha bombs.

New York Tribune Inc.) -0 "good eft' Be am associate MEMBER of th? NATIONAL COUNCIL BOY SCOUT5 OF Ame^ica amd GIVE. THIS LAD a Chance) TSt,^ WTHEN Clarence L. Hill, of 85 Fort ^ Washington Avenue, a clerk in the Park Department, returns from his vacation he is going to be served with an order signed by Supreme Court Justice Van Sielen directing him to pay $10 a week alimony to a young woman he declares he never married. The young woman, Mrs. Harriet Ship man Hill, of 744 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, says the marriage was kept secret at Hill's request. When Mrs. Hill sued, he produced affidavits from the Rev. F. Watson Hannan and Mrs. Hannan stating that to the best of their recollection Hill was not the man who had married Miss Shipman in a ceremony performed March 24, 1906, by the Rev. Mr. Hannan. Supplementing this was an affidavit from Waldo J. Morse, jr., of 23 Lincoln Place, Brook? lyn, a friend of Hill's, declaring that Arthur W. Washburn, of 368 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, told him he had married Miss Shipman under Hill's name on that date. Washburn has a wife of his own, and his Bister says the claim that he posed as Hill and wedded Miss Shipman is absurd. DOMINICK PADULA, sixty-five years old, of 198 Corona Street, Long Island City, drew $500 from the bank to finance a wedding with a widow and the subsequent honeymoon. He spent $10 on the way to the widow's apart? ment, and when he arrived there, he says, the rest of it was taken from him by the widow and a man she didn't even introduce him to. The widow dis mer limestone quarries. Dynamite stolen from the quarries for weeks, Finnerty says, yielded the nitrogly cerin used in making the bombs. Details of the bomb making and the dynamite plot were obtained by Fin? nerty from a woman fifty-eight years old, who was in the inner circle of the plotters. There was a radical meeting in the village May 27, attended by a j woman friend of Emma Goldman among others, and the automobiles in which the visitors came, Finnerty said, j carried satchels and suit cases similar j to those used in planting the bombs. - Three Are Caught in Dragnet for Bombers j Special Correspondence PITTSBURGH, June 8.?The dragnet j thrown out last week immediately after j the bomb outrages in this city was in- j strumental to-day in causing three ar? rests, two by the police and one by Department of Justice agents. Matthew Persic and Mike Adler, the latter of Ambridge, Beaver County, were taken into custody this afternoon by Police Lieutenant Harry Moore and city detectives iri a North Side hall, wrn?.e they wore scheduled to make addresses. The crowd in the hall was dispersed. Persic, the police say, came here from Cleveland last Sunday, th ; day before bombs were exploded near the homes of Federal Judge W. H. S. Thomson and Immigration Inspector ; W. W. Sibray. In Persic's boarding ! house room the police found r?volu tionary literature in several languages and receipts for money subscribed for j the fight to keep Eugene V. Debs and I W. D. Haywood from eerving peniten? tiary i* ?jt?ltcas. ' appeared, but Padula yesterday point? ed out Angelo Albanese, of 235 East Fifty-ninth Street, as her companion. Albanese was held under $1,000 bail. Briefs With the assistance of churches and syna? gogues and various civic and commercial or? ganizations the Harlem Council of Women will inaugurate to-day a campaign for open? ing more playgrounds for children. Women prominent in pacifist movements during the war will attend a mass meeting Thursday evening at the Hotel Pennsylvania under the auspices of the Women's Interna? tional League. The league purposes to in? fluence Congress to reject the peace treaty and the league of nations covenant in favor of "more democratic instruments." "Vacation banks" are to be distributed among the children of the schools by the ' War Savings Committee to prevent the lapse I of the thrift campaign during the ?ummer. Christopher .Miles, sixty years old, a la? borer, resisted three highwaymen who at? tempted to rob him and was bhot in the abdomen. He was found in the hallway cf his home at 3'4_ West Eighteenth Street. Oscar Cooligan, head of the freight trans? portation bureau of the Packard Motor Car Company, will deliver a lectu.-e this evening at 212 East Forty-second Street for dis? charged service men now seeking jobJ.

Sac!cett, the police censor of Conev Island, frowns upon the "shimmy," tho "bunny hug" and the "mormor," all which, he says, are dances which must not be done on the ! waxed or sawdusted floors of his baili? wick. The courtesy and tact which enabled Captain Sackett last year to gauge to a hair's-breadth bathing suits which were decorous and bathing suits which were not were called into play yesterday to deal with the "shimmy," the "bunny hug" and the "mormer." Consequently ladies and gents at the various dance halls at the resort found themselves possessed of gracefully worded and really artistic cards which were distributed by policemen or policewomen, and which will be stuck in many a mirror frame this morning as a souvenir of Coney Island and a memorial to the courtesy of its censor. The "request" inscribed on the card follows: "Patrons arc requested not to dance the shimmy or other dances in which the hands urc placed about each other's neck. You may be arrested if you fail to observe this warning." In the smaller place? many an en? thusiastic but ill-advised dancer merely stuck the card in his pocket to be perused at leisure. All such speedily found patrolmen at their el? bows, who jerked an eloquent thumb sideways and announced courteously: "On the outside for you, bo; them throttle holds don't go!" The Bowery dance halls yielded up , several score who had preferred danc? ing to reading. Ralph Blakelock Returned to Asylum InMiddletown/N.Y. Ralph Albert Blakelock, the painter whome fame found when his mind was gone, is back at the rJtate Hospital for the Insane at Middletown, N. Y., paint? ing' and bending wire into designs for jewelry. His excursion into the outer world, which began September 6, 1916, did not have the effect which his friends had hoped. His delusions persisted. For months admirers, who saw him only occasion? ally, were misled by the fact that his conversation often failed to show the mania,' of which he is a victim, and they were led into the belief that Blakelock would recover complete command of his faculties and his genius would flame again. After about a year of freedom under the guardian? ship of Mrs. Van Rensselaer Adams, however, even the most sanguine had to admit that Blakelock showed no im? provement. He painted. During a trip to Lake George he accomplished some studies which critics said had merit. But they were not Blakelock paintings, as those which had brought thousands of dol? lars. During his months in the world a considerable sum was raised for the artist's benefit through gifts by j friends, but this was expended for his : comfort at the time. Psrt of it came j from the Twenty-third Street Y. M. \ C. A., where Blakelock had lived in his Cays of poverty. Compelled to j leave owing the institution, Blakelock had left with it' a painting which had : been forgotten until the painter's re- j turn from the asylum brought it to ! the attention of the Y. M. C. A. In | view of the circumstances the painting ? was turned over to its author and sold for him for $4,000. Recently Blakelock has become pos sessed of a small but, for him, ample sum, which is to be devoted to giving him another vacation from the asylum. He will come out again within a few weeks under the care ot Mrs. Adams and John G. Agar. He is seventy-two years old. Wilkins Murder Trial On at Mine?la To-day ! Staff Correspondence MINE?LA, L. I? June 8.?The trial ! I of Dr. Walter K. Wilkins, charged with ! | the murder of his wife, will start here to-morrow morning in the criminal | branch of the Supreme Court before | Justice Manning. It is expected that the trial will last about three weeks. The evidence on which the physician was indicted is almost entirely circum? stantial. Mrs. Wilkins was struck down out? side her Long Island home on the ! night of February 27. Her skull was I crushed by the blows of a hammer. On j the night of the tragedy Dr: Wilkins j I told the police that when he and his ' wife returned from New York he was j the first to enter the house. As he opened the door, he said, he was hit on ! the head and his life was saved by a j stiff hat he wore. Then, according to | his story, Mrs. Wilkins, who had re? mained outside, cried for help. One of three invaders described by I the physician then left the house, he I said, and Mrs. Wilkins's cries ceased. I After- the men had gone Dr. Wilkins ' said he found his wife dying. joh; JOHN WANAMAKER Formerly A. T. Stewart & Co., Broadway at Ninth, New York Store Hour's, 9 to 5:30. Good morning! ! This is June 9 ! The weather today will probably be showery. No, Sir! He Only Said It? but his word is as good as any bond. ''What makes you so certain?" So one New York man said to an? other New York man this morn? ing. "For thirty years I have known that man; he is as open as they make them and out and out, upright, and his word goes without a shadow of doubt with everybody who knows him." Upon such a foundation any one can build up a city, a bank, a corporation and any kind of an undertaking requiring sin? cerity and probity as well as in? telligence. With such a character (not a talent from birth) acquired from principles, forming the springs of life, attained by all our young men and women, what a country America would be, what a power of wealth it would be in every State and all its cities! Such a reputation would be worth more than a million to the young people leaving the colleges to take up their life work. Money is not everything to a business man. (Signed) ! "'*; ?v June 9, 1919.
