Socialists Wrathy
In Philadelphia at
Lawrence Policemen

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 24.-Great
Indignation was expressed at the head
quarters of the Socialist Party here to-
day when it became known that the
authorities of Lawrence, Mass, had
prevented children of the striking tex
tile workers from coming to this city
to be cared for by persons who guar
anteed to support them until the in
dustrial troubles in Lawrence were ad-
justed.
What right the authorities had to pre-
vent their coming here after the parents
had given their permission, the leaders
of the movement want to know. An in
dignation meeting Is to be called and, If
necessary, the courts appealed to.
The children were to have been met
on their arrival here by "a committee
of the various labor organizations
which had volunteered to find them
homes ard shelter. Immediately after
arrival they were to have been taken
to Labor Lyceum, where a supper was
to have been provided. After this they
were to be brought to the celebration
by German-American Socialists in
honor of the recent victory of their
party in Germany. Following this the
children were to have been taken to
families that promised to care for them
during their stay here.

children and some difficulty was expert

RECIPROCITY MOTOR
LAW FOR MARYLAND
ISPLAN OF SENATOR
GoSlin Bill in Legislature of
Great Interest to Capital
Automobiles.

Washington automobile owners are
deeply interested in a bill to amend the
Maryland automobile law, which now Is
before the Maryland Legislature. IL
was introduced by Senator Goslin, and
one of its objects is to double the reve-
nue. from automobiles in order to fur
nish more money to the State road com
mission for the maintenance OF roads.
The feature of particular interest 10
the motorists of this city is the pro-
vision for absolute freedom for motor
lists of other States and Territories to
enter Maryland whenever they want 10
and to stay as long as they want to
where the same privilege Is extended TO
Maryland-owned motor cars.
Full reciprocity is provided In AL
States, excepting New Jersey, which, We
are assured, will change it's present law
to full reciprocity at this session OF
the Legislature" said Senator Goslin, in
discussing his measure. I'VE do not
want Maryland to be the only State In
the Union that occupies the position Of
objecting to outsiders entering our
State"
AS the automobile owners of Washing
ton are now contributing more than
$4,000 a year to Maryland for the prlvi-
lege OF using GERS in that State, the
Gosiin bill appeals strongly to them.
In explaining his bill Senator Goslin
further said: at provides for the ap-
pointment Of deputy motor vehicle COM
ber, who can be delegated by the motor
vehicle commissioner 20 go into any part
of the State for the purpose Of enforcing
the provisions of the proposed law.

no word had reached FL Paso from
General Pascual Orozco as to his con-
nection with the new revolutionary

Slated for Dismissal,
Clerks Get Little Hope

Although personal appeals have been
made to numerous congressman and
Senators by the temporary census clerks
who are be doropped from the rolls
February 20, without receiving the five
days annual leave due them, they have
been given but little hope. Congress
sional action for their relief is ex-

Though it is generally agreed that
these young men and women are un-

to aid them in their difficulty. Census
Director Durand has made in plain there
is no possibility of any action by the

THREE CLAIMANTS
IN HOT FIGHT FOR
RUSSIAN PICTURES
Treasury Department in
Quandary Over Famous
Collection.

Secretary of the Treasury Macyeagh
is in a quandary over one OF the most
unique customs tangles that has ever
perplexed the Treasury Department. He
has been called upon to answer the
sl'peals of three men. each of whom
SAYS he Is the owner Of the famous
$lOO.NO collection of Russian paintings
that comprised the Russian exhibit at
the st. Louis Worlds Fair.
Frank Z. Havens, millionaire real
estate operator of Oakland, Cal, came
all the way to Washington TO press his
claim. Mr., Havens has been here since
early In the week and probably will
stay over until March 3, when the
Secretary probably will take action. In
the meantime, the Treasury Department
has postponed confirmation of the ap-
praisers' sale of the paintings at the
san Francisco customs house on Feb
ruary 5.
The collection has the most remark
able history, from the standpoint of
entangled ownership, OF any paintings
brought to this country in 1907, by E.
M. Gunwaldt, an American citizen, who,
II is understood, originally came TO this
country from Russia, Upon entry at
at $4,000, and they were permitted to
enter in bond for the exposition, with
$4,000 duty assessed against them.
Several of the paintings were done
DN the dTllbJ Oh IZdT NlCHOidS'
and one of them is a life size portrait
of the Car by the court painter. The
bond expired at the end of the year.
Just before the expiration of the GUS
toms bond. Gunwaldt gave II. l. Kowal-
sky, his attorney. power of attorney to
sell the paintings, and Kowalsky took
them to Toronto. He had them ap-
praised by an expert from San Fran
cisco about a year ago, who was sup
posed to represent Mr.. Havens. This
expert valued them at $4,000, but has
since declared that he did not see them
all. In the meantime, GunwRldt re-
vCked the power of attorney given to
Kowalsky. Nevertheless II Is alleged
Kowalsky brought the paintings back
irto the United States and took them
to San Francisco. They were permit
ted to enter the country under a six
months renewal of the old bond. This
was year ago.
COLLECT OF Customs Stratton at San
Francisco discovered the paintings IN
his jurisdiction and held them up. He
appraised them at $S5, 600, the amount
of original appraisement, and II was
claimed they were worth hundred
thousand. The duty Of $4,000 was as
sessed against them, and az this was
not paid they were offered for sale at
public auction to indemnify the Gov
ernment for the duty.
Each picture was bid on separately,
and then the whole collection was Of
ferCG, this was done to got the benefit
of the highest bid either way under In
strUCtions from Secretary MaCNeagh.

WOMEN CLUBBED IN
RIOT ATLAWRENCE
Mamen Use Drastic Means to Prevent Strikers Send
ing Children to Other Cities to Obtain Better
Care-Twenty three Arrested.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. A.-Fifty
policemen under command of Marshal
Sullivan and two companies of militia
interfered today with the attempt of the
strike committee to send fifty children
from this city to outside towns where
they would be cared for. Eight women
five men, and ten children were arrest
ed and rushed to the police station.
The interference by the police and
militia has added to the gravity OF the
situation. 1t follows the action of the
military authorities last week when they
announced the strikers would be kept,
wherever possible, from sending their
children out of town.
The strike leaders have openly
charged this action was taken at the
behest of the mill owners who know,
that II the children are kept here and
forced to suffer, their parents will give
up the struggle.
Care for Children First.
The strike leaders contend that II the
children had plenty and were safely
housed, the parents would get along
somehow.
The children who were innocently re-
sponsible for today's trouble were
brought to the railroad station to be
placed on board the I'll train. They
were to be taken to Philadelphia and
Providence, via Boston. Applications
for them had been filed more than a
transfer had been provided.
Shortly before o'clock Marshal Sui
livan ordered out the police reserves
and at the head of fifty members of his
force marched to the station" A few

entrance.
Women Are Frightened.
When the strikers appeared with their
children the mrashal asked why the
children were to be sent away. The
women were all plainly frightened by
ordered number of the men, women,
and children to go home. Those who re-
fused were gathered up, hustled INTO
the wagon, and driven to the police
station.

Women's Clothing Torn.
"A number of women had their
clothing torn when they were driven
back by the police after they tried
to rejoin their children.

orders from the mayor, police and
soldiers were gathering in. ten strike

Senator Borah Is
Doubtful If Troops
r" Acted With Authority

Senator Borah of Idaho, who is the
author of the bill for a Children's Bu-
reau, was much interested today in the
reports from Lawrence telling how the
city authorities were preventing the
children of strikers from being sent out
Of the city to be fed.
Senator Borah. thought one of the
foremost lawyers of the Senate, doubted
If there was any law that permitted
such action.
II don't know of any law to justify
the authorities of a city to prevent chill
dren who have the consent of their par
where 1t might lead to the spread of
infectious diseases. I would not know
by what authority they would prevent
parents from sending their children out
of reach of the disturbance of the strike.
In fact, the dictates of humanity would
likely suggest that they should be sent
away"

Hines Is Expelled
From Union League

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Edward Hines
political associate of Frederick Weyer-
hausor, head of the lumber interests of
the Northwest, has been ousted from
the Union League as the result OF
charges filed against him that he had
been guilty of violating the constitu-
ton of the organization.
The charges grew out of allegations
made by Clarence :. Funk general
manager of the International Harvester
Company. that he had been approached
by Hines in the club and solicited for
contribution of $4,000 to make up a
Jackpot" of $l00,OO0 which had been ex-
pended, 1t Is alleged, in putting Lori
meT over"
While none of the officers OF the
league would make a statement, II is
learned that Hines was summoned be-
fore the directors, that he refused TO
appear and that the directors then
voted to GUST him.

Champ Clark's supporters at the Capi-

engraved with words from the now
famous Houn' Dawg song, which is
recognized as the ballad OF the Clark
Presidential campaign.
The Houn' Dawg button is a large
ornate blue affair which can be spotted

words more dignified than those con-

The words on the Clark button read
as follows:

The literal language OF the song. how
