Paris, April 3.-Although the
police investigation of the history
Of Raymond Swoboda charged with
being responsible for the fire
aboard the steamer La Touraine has
brought out additional facts re-
garding him, he remains something
of a mystery. Several of his FRIENDS
here profess to consider the charges
against him entirely unfounded.
According to statements made to
newspaper reporters by residents OF
the suburb Of viroflay, where Swo-
,boda lived at one time, the men had
long been regarded with suspicion
however. He was very intimate In
the Austrian-German colony ana
spent much of his time with an
Austrian named Padouk, they said
Swoboda's place of confinement

TOO MANY LAWS
CRAMP BUSINESS
Legislation Has Caused Depression,
Senator Weeks, Says
CAPITAL NEEDS MORE FREEDOM
In Kansas City, New Englander Cri-
ticises Administration Policies
and Predicts Low Economic
Conditions After War

Kansas City, April "A plea for
business freedom was made by Sem
'ator John w. Weeks Of Massacu-
setts before more than $50 guests
of the Rotary club.
When Senator Weeks declared
business depression in the United
States is due to legislation, and that,
we are suffering from too much
restriction and too much ''inspec-
tion," he was interrupted by CHEERS
His declaration was accepted as un-
usually significant by those present,
inasmuch as he is being most fre-
Quently mentioned as the next Re-
publican nominee for president.
The disorganization of commerce
in Europe, coupled with the high
taxes necessarily resulting to pay
war debts, will mean an influx of
labor into the United States de-
manding work at any price, and an
era of low prices on the continent,
he said. Low tariff will result in
our own manufacturers being un-
dersold, he said, and the admins
tration will not be able to escape
the consequences Of its economic pol
icies, which have been aided thus
far by unusual conditions abroad.
''The European war, which is used
as an excuse for business conditions
now prevailing in the United States,
las started more looms and fur
naces than it has stop ed" said
Senator Weeks.

uuarantining of infected regions In
practically all of the cattle raising
states and other precautionary mea-
sures ordered by the department to
