POLICE ARE BLAMED.
Socialists Say Officers Provoked Last
Saturdays Trouble

New York, March 30.-Robert Hun
ter. the noted sociologist, declared that
he was not only present at Saturdays
demonstration of the unemployed in
Union Square that ended in a bomb
explosion, but that, had opportunity
offered. he would have addressed the
crowd in defiance of police prohibition
and so brought about a test in the
courts of the right of free speech.
1t had been advertised that Mr. Hun
ter would address the meeting but in
the excitement that followed the ac-
ton of the police in driving the crowds
from the square he was lost sight of
and not until today was it generally
known that the settlement worker was
on hand prepared to carry out his part
of the programme even If it led to his
arrest.
Mr. Hunters position in the whole
matter was set forth in a statement
over his signature given to the Asso-
ciated Press. The writer deplores the
Outrage" of the bomb, and refers to
its author as a fanatic who has in
Jured the cause of the UNEMPLOYED.
Mr.. Hunter says until he arrived t
the square he was ignorant of the fact
that speech making had been forbid

SATURDAY NIGHTS RUN LIGHT
Superintendent Mervine Says There
Was Little Money in the Car.


Kansas City, March SO.-The rob-
Der, who murdered Oscar Allen Bail
ey in his express car near Newton,
Kan, early yesterday morning got
81 900 in money. He also got jewell
ry, the exact value of which is not
known. This was the statement given
out by officials of the Wells-Fargo
Express company here last night.
Bailey was 26 years old and had
been in the employ of the Wells-Far-
go company five years. His home was
at ~ Porter street, Kansas City, Kan.
He was a Son-in-la-W of j. H. Shoe
maker, grocer, at As South Seventh
will be brought to Kansas City, Kan,
for burial.
Bailey was killed with his own
Ratchet somewhere between Florence
and Newton" said D. T. Mervine, SUI
perintendent of the Kansas division of
special agent, who was sent to inves-
tigate, had telegraphed a report of
the killing from Newton.
''Where and how the man got into
the car we are unable to say he
continued. THE car is locked when
the train leaves the Union depot here
at HAS O'Clock. One door is opened
at all the stations where a stop is
made, but as this as a fast train only
a few stops are made. The last town
where the door would be opened by
the messenger is Florence, Kan, the
next depot stop is Newton, but safety
stops are made at Peabody, Kan, and
at the Missouri Pacific crossing near
Newton.
eve believe the crime was COM
rnitted by one man. This man prob
| ably boarded the car at Florence. 1t
is improbable that he left this city in
| the car, although he may have done
so. Express messengers are not sup
posed to allow anyone to ride in the
| car. The man may have climbed in
at Florence while the messenger was
| busy and concealed himself"
| The money taken was in one pack
| age. 1t was from one of the Kansas
City banks to the bank in Mulvane
| Kan. Mr.. Mervine said last night he
| did not know which bank sent it. He
| said the value of the Jewe1ry had not
been determined, but it probably was
! less than $1,000.
The express company officials be-
| lieve the robber had no knowledge OF
| the amount of money carried. Satur-
| day night, they say, is the fightesi
| shipment of money, and had the rob-
Der had knowledge of the shipments
he would have selected another time

den. He learned this of the police and
then determined to speak in order that
the right of peaceful assembly and free
speech might be tested in the courts.
He adds that he had no chance to be
heard for pres entity the police
charged the crowd with incredible
brutality" Mr.. Hunter describes his
own escape from under a horses
hoofs, tells how he was dragged by
officers from the steps of a building
from which he had hoped to speak,
and how what was intended as
peaceful assembly in furtherance of
with a scene that he thought could
not be duplicated outside of Russia.
Yesterday proved to be a busy Sun
day for the police and the socialists
who were responsible for Saturdays
demonstration. There was no act of
violence or disturbance of any sort,
but the police were busy looking up
the record of the bomb thrower and
others under arrest, while the social
lists were as active in repudiating SYM
edge of the perpetrator.
Selig Silverstein, the youth in whose
hands the bomb exploded, as he was
about to hurl it at Captain Miles
is still alive in Bellevue hospital.
Though the explosion tore off his
right hand, temporarily blinded him
and caused frightful bodily injuries, he
may survive. AS yet ne can nOI see,
but the sight of one eye may be re-
stored. Seven men arrested after the
bomb explosion were arraigned In
court today. OF the number, six
called themselves Russians. One of
them was an American. The foreign
ers were held in $4,000 bail each for
further examination. while the Amer
lean was held without bail. They were
charged with taking part in riot.
The police today examined a half
dozen perso ns, including S. Yanofsky,
editor of Fret Arbiter Steimme. All
declared that they had advocated
peace in the adjustme of industrial
disputes.
The general committee of the To-
cal socialist party met Sunday and set
forth its SIDE of the story. They
claimed that the meeting was made
up of law abiding persons, and accuse
the police of melting the people to
riot. Many statements were issued by
individuals, all deploring the act of
violence and all taking the police TO
account

Sunday evening sweating the men. A

young man of Topeka, was one of the
first arrests made by the police. He
arrived in Wichita yesterday morn
ing and could give no account of his
actions further than inquiring for his
parents.
