10 KILLED BY BOMB
NINE OFFICERS AND WOMAN
LOSE LIVES IN POLICE STA
TON AT MILWAUKEE.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE ARRESTED
Criminals Responsible for Deaths Be-
lieved to Be Members Of Band OF
Italian Anarchists With
lconoclastc Ideas.

Milwaukee Nov. 27.-That the bonn
which killed ten persons. Injured TWO
and wrecked the central police station
here Saturday night may have been
manufactured by experts in Chicago
is the theory tAat now holds the atten-
ton of the authorities who have the
investigation in charge.
This theory, the plan of offering or
substantial rewards by the city ana
state for the arrest of the criminals
responsible for the explosion and the
detention Of half Il dozen Italians were
the outstanding developments In
crime that has stirred the community
as II has not been aroused in half
century.
In addition citizens have already
started pouring in subscriptions Tor
the families of the police officers ana
the woman who met death when the
bomb exploded
The bomb was found In Rev. Gull
liani's church by Miss Maude Richter,
church organist. She sent an Italian
boy, Tony Massone, with 1t to the Cen
trail station and handed 1t to Station
Keeper Deckert The station keeper
carried It into the squad room, where
detectives and police coming on or JUST
going Off duty were assembled. mo-
ment later there was a fash and n
roar. Buildings rocked for blocks
around. The smoke cleared. Where
detectives md tho station kppupr had
stood was mass of wreckage and
fragments of human bodies.
Gov. T.. l.. Philip and Aldermen
William !. Greene and Louis Weiss
were authority for the statement that
substantial rewards would be offered
by the city and the state.
The list of dead follows:
Frank NJ. Caswin. detective; Henry
Deckert, station keeper; Fred w. Kali
ser. detective; David O'Brien, detec-
tive; Stephen Fl. Stecker, detective;
Edward Spindler, switchboard opera
tor; Albert Tempin, detective; Paul
Weller detective; Miss Catherine
Walker, an employee Of the Pietsch
dye works, In station TO make a com
plant; Charles Zehauer, detective.
II is the belief Of Chief Jansen that
band Of partly organized Italian an
archlsts with iconoclastic ideas who
live In the Bay View section ION the
South side) of the city is responsible
for the death of his officers and the
woman.

various systems.
Everybody gives them full credit for
the greatest patriotism and recog-
nizes that the pooling arrangement is
a sincere effort to give their best to
the country, but the point is made
that there will be q divided allegiance.
While trying to do their utmost for the
country they must think of the inter
ests of their stockholders.
The railroads are sure the recent
resolutions of the railroad war board
will answer all purposes, and will
actually solve the traffic problems en-
gendered by the war. If they are
right the operation of the roads will

Senator Stone Says Action Is
Now Advisable.
UP TO CONGRESS NEXT WEEK
Missourian Declares Austrans Have

and Are Probably Fighting
Pershing's Troops.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Declarations
of war against Austria. Turkey, and
Bulgaria, Chairman Stone of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee de-
clared seem exceedingly advisable to
simplify situation now anomalous"
1--WE are in fact" said he, now at
war with Germany's allies"
Senator Stones only reservation was
that such action by congress should be
in harmony with the policy of the ex-
ecutive branch Of the government AL
though he voted against the declara-
ton of war on Germany. Senator
Stone has reiterated that the war, once
begun, has his whole support. His
statement was taken as indicative Of
the agitation for war on Germany's al
lies which will face congress when it
convenes next week.
Would Simplify Matters.
There should be an understanding,
Of course" said Senator Stone. be
tween the two branches of the govern
ment before any action is taken. But
we are, in fact, now at war with Ger
many's allies. The situation is anoma-
lous. 1t would in my opinion. sim
plify matters greatly If we should for
mally declare war against Germany's
allies. II seems to be exceedingly adj
viSable."
II have understood that some. If not
large number of Austrian troops have
now, or soon, be actually fighting
against the American forces, the two
forces firing at each other. Any way
the Austrians are desperately engaged
with Italy, which Is one of our allies
just as much as France or England"
Would Aid Curb on Spies.
To have war formally declared
against the German allies also, said
Senator Stone, would simplify matters
Of domestic concern, such as measures
TO prevent espionage.
New or amended war tax legislation,
according to Senator Stone, who also
is n member of the senate finance COM
mittee. should not he undertaken I'M
til after thorough survey of the sit
uation. He said there was no doubt
that In many respects the new
war tax law can be improved and
probably will be to remove inequall-
ties and inlustices. The session. he
predicted would be long one.
Senator Lewis, the Democratic
whip expressed views similar to Sen
ator Stones. At the same time" said
he, 1--WE should be careful to distin-
guish between Austrians and Hunga-
rians. We should also distinguish be-
tween Austrians and Poles"

Copenhagen, July 4. = Theodor
Wolff, editor-in-chief of the Berliner

acterizes the German system of gov
cratic regime where parliament may
only talk but has no voice in affairs
and where decisions of war and peace
are taken in secret without any CO.
operative representatives of the peo-
pie" ass
The reichstag franchise may be. as
the Norddeutsch Allgemeine Zeitung
lately asserted, the most liberal in the
world but, says Herr Wolff, this fran
chise is deprived of value by cum
ming division of electoral districts.
Herr Wolff concludes that unless the
chancellor is prepared to give plain
open account of peace terms or an
nounce the introduction of a parlia-
silent. These, the editor says, are the
sole possibilities of furthering peace.
Scores Ruthless U-BOating.
The government and the Chauvin
lists, he declares, have already thrown
away an excellent chance of a salts
factory peace by adopting a ruthless
submarine policy because without en-
trance of America in the war France
and Italy would undoubtedly have
been far more ready to consider
peace.
In the Vossische zeitung, Georg
Bernhard contrasts recent semi Off
cial limitations regarding the occur
renee of negotiations about American
mediation with the manner in which
the German people were given to I'M
derstand repeatedly and emphatically
that such mediation would be mad
missible. He declares that more and
more it is being asserted that Pres
1dent Wilson was completely sur
prised by the Inauguration of ruthless
submarine warfare which was con-
trary to all assurances given him and
all invitations addressed to him.
No Wonder u S. Infiamcd
mo wonder that SUCH conduct con-
tributed to exciting the American war
feeling, hardly less than the offer of
American soil to MeXico-a question
in regard to which the reichstag
should also insist upon further en-
lightenment," says Herr Bernhard.

MUST BE AVENGED
Takes Up Cause of Outraged
and Murdered Negroes.
Demands President Speed Ac-
ton to Effect Justice.

New York, July 4.-''Swift and Sc
we're punishment" for the mobs which
wiped out the negro section of East
st. Louis and burned their property,
was demanded by the Socialist leader
William English Walling in telegram
to President Wilson today.
Such punishment is necessary. Wall
ing said, because "of the dangerous
effect of race riots in America on
revolutionary Russia, South America
and Japan"
Walling characterized the uprising
as partly the result of German agents
efforts to stir up race war to keep
American troops at home and partly
the result of an attempt w the south
ern states to keep the negro under
their thumb.
Deliberately Planned Riot.
Speaking as a member of the execu-
tive committee of the National Assoc
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Walling, in his telegram,
said:
'Savages at East st. Louis deliber-
ately prepared this riot for a whole
month. Without military excuse, it
was worse therefore, than anything
the Germans did in Belgium and to be
compared only to the Jewish massa-
cres under the car.
THE pretext of labor invasion is I'M
yelled. There is no over-supply of Ia
DOT dlyWHeIO III lIlc country lOQdy.
THE riot was caused by the efforts
of the anti-negro element of the south
to check the exodus of cOlored labor
which promised to force the south to
suspend the reign of terror which has
prevailed for half a century and to
give negroes better pay and treat them
like human beings.
Fostered by German Spies.
1.-The reign of terror has passed
from the south to the north, doubtless
fostered by German spies. The Ger
man plot to prevent CONSUMPTION of
negroes and keep large sections of
American troops in America may sue
coed.
THE International and military sit
uation calls for immediate action.
There must be swift and severe punish
ment for the mob. But this will not
suffice. There should be an imme-
| diate presidential proclamation in the
present military eXigency that the full
| military power of the nation will be
used in defense of the lives and lib
erty of our colored fellow citizens
