ARREST AN Ex-C0NvICT
AS PARADE DYNAMITER
San Francisco Police Say Warren z.
Billings Is Leader of Or
ganized Gang.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 2s.-Warren
B. Billings, an ex-convict in custody
here, who police believe planted the
suit case bomb that exploded on a
crowded downtown corner and killed
nine and wounded more than forty
during the preparedness parade Satur-
day. has been identified by Miss Estelle
Smith as a man she saw with a suit
case on a roof near the scene OF the
explosion a few minutes before the
bomb burst.
The police say they are certain Bill
lings was the leader of the gang re-
sponsible for the outrage.
Six alleged dynamiters are in custody
and the arrest of Thomas Mooney, a
labor agitator. is expected. 1t was
in Moneys house that police found,
they said. bomb materials and a record
of dynamite stolen from quarries and
structures dynamited. The district at
torney's office admitted that there was
reason to believe the bomb explosion
was an attempt to get a marching
body of United Railroad platform men
who several weeks ago baked Mooney
in an attempt to bring about street
ear strike" The street carmen were
in the preparedness parade only a
short distance from the point where
the explosion took place.

were twelve pieces of candy in each
box, one for each of the suffrage states.
Each box also contained the following
verse:
Within this box are suffrage sweets,
Their number-twelve-I pray you note;
a stick for every suffrage state
Where women have the right TO vote.
Wyoming first set women free,
Then Colorado, Idaho
And Utah followed, and then came
These states all iu a suffrage row:
Nevada. California
Kansas, far-ofY Washington,
Arizona. Illinois.
Montana and then Oregon.
II these confections then you like,
Pray help more suffrage states to win,
So that IL will take larger box

POINTS IN AGREEMENT
WITH IRISH SET FORTH
British Official Paper Tells Of Steps
in Home Rule Nego-
tiations.

LONDON. July 2s.-In accordance
official paper giving the heads of the
agreement arrived at recently between
David Lloyd George and the Irish lead
ers in the Irish negotiations has been
issued. 1t bears out the contention
made in debate in the house of COM
mons by John Redmond with regard
to the retention Of the Irish members
of the imperial parliament, inasmuch
as clause merely says that the
Irish representation in the imperial
parliament shall remain unaltered-
namely, 103'-and says nothing con-
cerning any subsequent reduction in
their number.
With regard to the duration of the
new bill. the official paper confirms
Premier Asquiths statement of July
10-namely. that If parliament had not
by twelve months after the war made
further permanent provision for the
government of Ireland, then the dura-
ton of the operation of the bill shall
be extended by an order in council for
such time a may be necessary to make
such provision.
The clause referring to the exclusion
OF the Ulster counties merely defines
the excluded counties, but says moth
ing as to whether the exclusion is to
be permanent.
An interesting clause in the agree
ment not previously mentioned gives
the lord lieutenant of ireland power to
summon conferences between members
for constituencies in the excluded area
and members for the rest of Ireland
The only new feature in the Irish
