Says Names Are Sought
) 'New York yesterday struck the
jieaviest blow it has yet aimed at the j
activities of radicals here when '
State troopers, accompanied by city ;
?etectives and investigators for the |
Lusk committee, raided the Rand
School, 7 East Fifteenth Street; the
headquarters of the "Left Wing"
Socialists, 43 West Twenty-ninth
Street, and the I. W. W. headquar
ten, 27 East Fourth Street.
The troopers were armed with
search warrants issued by Chief
Magistrate McAdoo and Magistrate
'Brough at the request of members
of the Lusk committee.
All three raids occurred between
2 and 3 o'clock, and went off as
smoothly as a well rehearsed theat?
rical production. There was no dis?
order whatever at any of the three
radical rallying points.
The troopers entered, confiscated ?
at each piare great?quantities of let- I
?rs, pamphlets anabooks, wrapped
these up, and departed after prom- |
ising to return them after the Lusk
[committee got through with them.
The men were not in uniform, and
Irove to the buildings in automo
)iles. They disembarked, presented
their search warrants, were ad?
mitted without protest or the slight?
est attempt at resistance, and, after
gathering up the material they
Wanted, departed.
The actual purpose of the raids
was described by one of the mem?
bers of the Lusk committee in one
word?"Names!"
"That ?3 what we want chiefly,"
fce said. "Names of all the parlor
Bolsheviki, I. W. W.'s and socialists
We can get hold of. They will be a
real help to us later on."

The raid on the headquarters of the
?Und School was made at 2:45 p. m.

Deportation of Reds
By Wholesale Planned
HPHE United States may resort
shortly to wholesale deportations
of Bolsheviki, I. W. W. and other
"Reds" as the speediest and best
solution of the radical menace In
this country, William J. Flynn inti?
mated yesterday on his return, from
Washington. Chief Flynn said that
he had no information to give out
concerning further developments in
the bomb plots, but said that whole?
sale deportations might be imminent.
William M. Offley, superintendent
of the local bureau of the Department
of Justice, also hinted at impending
deportations in commenting on Fri?
day night's meeting in Madison
Square Garden.
The government, it is said, is con?
sidering tho use of vessels now
employed as transports to take alien
agitators back to their homes.
Martial Law After
FatalWinnipegRiot
One Killed, Score Hurt in
Clash of Police and Moh ;
Wholesale Arrests Made
WINNIPEG, Man., June 21.?Winni?
peg, strike-torn since May'15, is under
martial law to-night. After. fighting
this afternoon between thousands of
strikers and the city provincial police,
in which one man was killed, another
probably fatally injured and a score
were hurt, Mayor Charles F. Gray
formally turned over the city to the
protection of the Federal military
forces.
General H. D. B. Ketchen, in charge
of the military, announced to-night
that the soldiers were in full control of
the situation and that scores of al?
leged rioters are in custody.
Nearly 20,000 persons were massed
on Main Street near the Citv Hall at
2:30 o'clock this afternoon, ready to'
take part in the "massed silent
parade" ordered staged by labor lead?
ers in opposition to city officials' or?
ders against all parades.
Just as the men fell in for fhe pa?
rade a streetcar manned by non-union
men and half-filled with passengers,
mostly women and .children, ap?
proached. The car was wrecked by a
shower of missiles thrown by the
paraders. The women and children
escaped without injury as far as is
known.
A cry went up from the crowd, "Here
come the bloody soldiers!" and around
the corner of Main Street appeared the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police. They
rode through the crowd, and then,
turning, formed in two columns and
with drawn truncheons attempted to
force the crowd back on the sidewalks.
Many of the policemen were hit by
rocks thrown by strikers.
The crowd, however, refused to dis?
perse, and it was not until the arrival
of Federal troops that quiet was re?
stored. To-night troops armed with
machine guns are stationed through
the city and armored cars are held in
readiness at strategic points.
Mike Sokolwoki, the man killed, was
said by officials to be a registered
alien.
Five Deputies Guarding
Cell of Bandit Hamby
Five deputies were detailed by Sher?
iff Griffin, of Kings County, yester?
day to guard Gordon Fawcett Hamby
in his cell in the Raymond Street
jail. Hamby goes on trial to-morrow
morning before a jury in the Uroi-Klyn
Supreme Court charged with the mur?
der of one of the two tellers of the
East Brooklyn Savings Bank, which
he and a confederate held up and
robbed of $13,000 last Decomber. It
?3 feared he may attempt an escape. .
Hamby, who had previously an?
nounced he would not take the wit?
ness stand in his own behalf and that
he wanted to go to the electric chair,
said yesterday he might chango his
mind before his trial is over. He
added when he came to New York last
winter he first planned to hold up
one of the Corn Exchange bank?, but
that the East Brooklyn institution ap?
pealed to him after he had visited it
on an errand.

E. De Valera,
Irish Chief,
Hiding Here
Sinn Fein President, "Who
Arrived in U. S. Unan?
nounced, Will Be in
New York To-morrow
Secretary Comes
Over as Stoker
Says De Valera Visited
Mother, but She De?
nies Having Seen Him
Edward de Valera, president of the
Irish republic, is in the United
States, in seclusion. When, where and
how he arrived are questions this ad?
venturous Irishman will answer in
person to-morrow at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, where a suite has been
reserved for him by bis secretary.
This secretary is Harry J. Boland,
I a red-cheeked, athletic person, who
i preceded his chief to the United
States, arriving here about four weeks
ago. Calloused hands and rough fin
| gers attest the truth of the statement
of this Member of Parliament for
! South Roscommon that he worked his
1 passage in the stoke hole of a slow
freighter.
Next to. his skin during that muscle
racking passage Boland bore a tissue
paper, typewritten plea, the fruit of
months of effort by de Valera. It was
"Ireland's Case for Independence,"
later presented to the peace confer?
ence. When Boland passed the immi?
gration inspector who boarded his
ship here he hurried to the offices of
the Friends of Irish Freedom, pre?
sented credentials from de Valera and
arranged for printing of his manu?
script. It was set up in a New York
printing establishment and the printed
copies sent to Versailles, where their
appearance created something , of a
sensation.
Method of Escape Concealed
Boland made the announcement yes?
terday that de Valera was in the
United States, and, at the same time,
revealed the purpose of his own un
advertised entry. He smilingly re?
fused to explain how Professor de Va?
lera managed to elude the British au?
thorities and leave Ireland.
Landing in the United States with?
out passports need not have bothered
de Valera, for he was born in New
York City and never has renounced his
American citizenship. Mr. Boland said
yesterday that since de Valera's arrival
he has visited his mother, Mrs.
Charles Wheelwright, of Rochester, N.
Y., but he would not say where they
saw each other, although he denied
that de Valera had gone to Rochester.
Mrs. Wheelwright denied last night
that she had seen her son or heard
from him since his imprisonment in
England.
Mr. Boland said Professor de Va?
lera was not in New York City nor in
the state. He also denied that he was
in Philadelphia, but he refused to say
where he was.
To Issue Statement To-morrow
"He is in the United States," he
said, "and on Monday he will be .glad
to meet representatives of the press at
the Waldorf-Astoria, where we havo
reserved rooms for him. Just now he
is preparing a statement covering his
purpose in coming to America. He
will issue that statement on Monday.
Naturally, his chief purpose in coming
to America is to seek to obtain recog?
nition for the Irish republic from the
United States. It is not possible to say
yet how long he will stay in the
United States, or when he will go to
Washington."
According to dispatches from Eng?
land de Valera has been "missing" for
twenty days, from which, it is pre

How Senate Can Ac?
cept Covenant With
Vital Reservations
Would Safeguard
Monroe Doctrine
Right to Withdraw Is
Included and Danger of
Embroilment Lessened
New York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 21.?A plan of
action on the league of nations and the
treaty of peace for the Senate Repub?
licans was outlined to-day by ex-Sen?
ator Elihu Root, after many confer
enees with Republican leaders, which
seemed to-night to have the approval
of almost the entire Republican mem?
bership of the Senate. Mr. Root out?
lined his plan in a letter to Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican leader
of the Senate. He recommends the rat?
ification of the treaty of peace with
reservations as to the league of na?
tions.
Mr. Root would have the Senate re?
fuse to concur'in Article X of the
league covenant. The effect of thi;
reservation would be to exempt the
United States from the possible duty
of any world policing or from guaran?
teeing the territorial integrity of na
tions in the Eastern Hemisphere. An- i
other reservation would safeguard the I
Monroe Doctrine, and would leave no
doubt whatever that Buch internal j
questions as immigration, customs j
duties, etc., could not become the sub?
ject of inquiry by the league.
Clears Way to Leave League
A third reservation would clear the
way for the United States or any I
other country to leave the league after
two years' notice, without any other
restrictions whatever. As now drafted,
the covenant, in the opinion of many, i
would permit any one nation to pre- '
vent the withdrawal of any other by ?
a claim that the nation desiring to j
withdraw, had not fulfilled all of her ;
obligations.
Mr. Root declares that the plan of
approving the treaty with reserva- ?
tions would not delay peace, and ,
would not lose the great advantages
which he sees in the league idea, '
once the features which he thinks ob?
jectionable are removed. If the Sen?
ate should ratify with reservations, h?
says, the reservations would become
binding without delay, unless one of'
the signatories at once made a pro?
test against the entry of the United
States with these reservations.
May Call for Allies' View
If there should be any doubt in the
minds of Senators about the legality
of this method, it could be removed by
calling at once on the four principal
nations, associated with the United
States as to whether they had any ob?
jection to the entry of the United
States into the league with these res?
ervations.
For the first time publicly Mr. Root
expressed the very fiat opinion that
the amendments to the league covenant,
drafted supposedly to meet his objec?
tions, did not meet the issue. Refer?
ring to the Knox resolution, Mr. Root
declared he should be glad to see the
peace terms and the league covenant
separated.
Oppose Fight on League
Mr. Root and Will H. Hayes, chair?
man of the Republican National Com?
mittee, have both been urging in pri?
vate conferences with Republican
Senators for the last few days that
the fight should be made in this way,
rather than in the form of a straight
out ficht, which would be construed
by the public as an attempt to kill thi;
whole league of nations idea.

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 21.?President
Wilson will issue a proclamation an?
nouncing the termination of demobili?
zation immediately upon the acceptance
of the peace terms by Germany and
removing war-time prohibition restric?
tions upon wine and beer, Representa?
tive Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, told
members of the House Judiciary Com?
mittee to-day.
Representative Dyer's announcement,
the authority for which he declined to
give, came immediately after the
Judiciary Committee had rejected an
amendment to the prohibition enforce?
ment bill giving the President specific
authority to remove such restrictions
when, in his opinion, they are no longer
necessary.
Representative Randall, Prohibition?
ist, argued that the President could not
remove wine and beer restrictions with?
out cancelling the entire war-time pro?
hibition act. He said no action by the
President would change his plan to
offer an amendment to the enforcement
legislation to compel absolute prohibi?
tion after July 1.
An amendment to the enforcement
bill proposed by Representative Gard,
of Ohio, Democrat, giving the President
authority to suspend the operation of
the wartime prohibition law in so far
as it affects beer and wine, was defeat?
ed, 12 to 5, in the committee.
The committee, on motion of Repre
j sentative Igoe, amended Section 19 of
the enforcement act so it will not make
unlawful the possession of a formula
for the manufacture of beverages.
Another concession by the prohibi?
tionists was the elimination of Section
25, which branded a person "a com?
mon nuisance" if he carried any in?
toxicating liquor on his person.
The provision forbidding any one to
tell another where he could get a drink
was amended by adding the words "In
violation of this law." ._
New German Ministry

jority Socialist Leader, Is

BERLIN, June 21 (By The Associated
Press).?A new German Cabinet has

TPHURSO, Scotland, June 21
(By The Associated Press).?
The hoisting of a red flag at
noon was the signal for the crews
to scuttle the German warships
in Scapa Flow. The crews took
to the boats and rowed toward
the shore. The guardships fired
at the Germans, who jumped
overboard and" swam asrre*e> v
I where they were rounded up. j
LONDON, June 21 (By The Asso
! dated Press).?-The principal ships
of the German High Seas Fleet, in?
terned at Scapa Flow under the
terms of the armistice, were scuttled
to-day by their German crews, who
opened the seacocks. The ships now
are on the bottom in deep water,
and the chances are that they can?
not be raised.
The execution of the plot to sink
the vessels came so suddenly that
j comparatively few of them could be
j saved. Boats containing some of
; the crews who were leaving the
sinking ships were fired on when
the Germans refused to stop, and a
number of Germans were killed.
The wholesale sinking of the Ger?
man ships was carefully arranged
by officers and crew. All explosives
had been removed, and therefore
the only means of destroying the
fleet was by opening the seacocks.
The ships went down with the Ger?
man flag, which the crews had
hoisted, showing at the mastheads.
No British Guards Aboard
The crews, composed entirely of
Germans, under the terms of th.2
armistice, which did not permit of
British guards aboard, took to tho
boats when the vessels began to set?
tle. While making for the shoie
the boats were challenged and called
upon to surrender. Some of them
ignored the summons, and it was
then that they were fired upon.
This stroke apparently was an en?
tire surprise, and the first news
reached London through a corre?
spondent, who was informed by
farmers in the neighborhood that
they had seen the German ships
sinking, with their flags aloft.
j The Admiralty at first denied the
report, but later confirmed it and
j issued an official statement. The
I German officers and crews have
i been made prisoner. None of the
j officials to-night would offer an opin?
ion as to how they are to be dealt
| with.
Just how many ships have been
sunk could not be learned. An
Admiralty statement said all the
j battleships except the Baden and
j all the battle-cruisers which were
| interned were sunk. This would in
! dicate that nine battleships and
J seven battle-cruisers, among the
j most powerful ships of the fleet,
I were scuttled.
I Of the eight light cruisers in?
terned, five were sunk and three
; were saved.
Twenty-eight Destroyers Sunk
The statement said that eighteen
i destroyers were beached by local
I tugs and four others were still
afloat. There were fifty destroyers
