BERKMAN TO FACE
HOMICIDE CHARGES
IF FREED ON BAIL

There IL little likelihood that Alex
ander Bsrkman will address any an
archist gatherings for a long time to
come. Although arrangements are
being made to furnish bail for the
radical pending an appeal from his
recent conviction to the United States
Supreme Court, 1t became known yes
terday that should the necessary bond
be supplied Berkman undoubtedly will
be rearrested Immediately on a charge
Of homicide, for which he was indict-
ed in San Francisco last Saturday.
As the homicide charge, growing
out OF alleged completely in the Pre-
paredness Day bomb explosion, which
resulted In the death of ten persons,
constitutes an unbailable offense, and
as California officials will use every
effort to have the editor Of the Blast
turned over to them for trial, It looks
as II Bsrkman's stay behind the bars
will not be interrupted in q hurry.
In compliance with the ruling of
Justice Brandels that the four an
anarchists convicted Of conspira-
cies against the military CONSUMPTION
law be released on bail pending an
appeal of their case, an order was
issued yesterday out OF the Federal
Court directing United States Mar
shall Mccarthy to return them to New
York
Friends Of Emma Goldman, who Is
at present IN the Federal prison at
Jefferson City, Mo-, declare they will
furnish the $4,000 bail required for
her. No move has been made, how
ever. to raise the money required to
bond Louis Kramer and Norris Beck
er, the two lesser anarchists, and as
these men while awaiting trial were
forced to stay in the Tombs, it is
thought that they will do SO once
more.
Assistant United States Attorney
Harold A. Content, who is in charge
OF the anarchist cases, received for
NAL notice yesterday OF their appeal

REQUEST TO
MERCHANTS

Two things count in advertis-
ing as in other purchasing Of
merchandise-QUANTITY AND
QUALITY.
Merchants want to know how
MANY and what KIND Of citi-
zens buy the newspaper in which
they advertise. In their own es-
Establishments, business men have
the opportunity of getting this
information so important to them'
and we make this request:
Please instruct your employees
to ask customers WHAT NEWS
PAPER THEY READ?
We shall consider it Q great
favor If you will ascertain par
ticulsrly how m-ly and what
kind Of customers read THE
WASHINGTON TIMES.
We think that we know. We
want BUSINESS MEN to know.
We believe you will find that
THE WASHINGTON TIMES is
read by all classes Of citizens, but
for the moment PARTICULAR
LY BY THE YOUNG MEN AND
THE YOUNG WOMEN.
Older people are slower to
change a habit. THE TINES is
read already by practically ALL
THE YOUNG MEN AND
WOMEN OF WASHINGTON,
and it will be read regularly very
soon by practically all Of the
others.
Meanwhile, it is worth remenl-
bering that the young men and
the young women are THE BUY
ELS.
We shall be grateful to any
merchant who will request his
employees to get answers to this
question:
What newspaper do you read7
Do you read THE WASHING
TON TIMES? What do you like
about it,"
There is no information quite
as good as YOUR OWN Informs
ton. And we are anxious that
merchants should have THEIR
OWN information about this
newspaper, its readers, their num-
Der and quality.

The Ozark trail boosters won a COM

ness in Collinsville. Every bank, store
and poolhall was closed and every man
who believed in building good roads
got busy at building a hard surface

representing every walk of life In this
city worked at loading broken retorts
at the Bartlcsville zinc smeltcr and on
the road unloading and breaking the
retorts that were spread out 81 feet
with a depth of better than six inches
In the center of the road. The big
steam roller owned by Tulsa county
was put upon the rock read ANA the
broken retorts were packed into tho
road. Cinders and ground rctorts pro-
yidcd a covering for the rock road.
More than onc-half mile of road was
built {. II. Evans, county road COM
missioner of Rogers county, supcrin-
tended the constructing of the road.
The smelters donated the broken re-
torts and Cinders used. Yesterday was
the first OF several holidays that are
to be declared In Collinsville SO that
the men may have an opportunity to
build maCadamiZcd roads leading into
this city. Plenty of material is to be

AUTO THIEVES BRANCH OUT
Have Gotten Bold Enough Ia steal and
Disguise the Larger Makes.

BARTLESNILLE Okla, March II.
Automobile thieves. who have been
operating in this section of the state
the past several months. out to make
quick money" have branched out in
business. Instead of confining their
operations to the theft of small cars
mostly Fords. they are now stealing
all makes and sizes of automobiles
That the wholesale operations of this
band of thieves is to extend over IA
wide section is shown in the reports
of the large number of cars that have
been stolen the past several days
Officers have been handicapped in
their efforts in the past in apprehend-
ing members Of this gang, because
they have confined their operations to
the theft of Ford cars. These cars
stolen in one state. for instance Kan
Sas, were driven across the line TO
some point in oklahoma, where a
fence" is maintained by the gang.
Here. according to officers, small cars
were stripped. the numbers of the
cars removed. new bodies placed upon
them and then the cars were resold to
persons in the oil fields, usually at
sacrifice. There are instances in this
city alone where cars worth $500 have
been sold for $50.
But the latest scheme in stealing
large sized cars is to drive them from
one state to another. steal an automo-
bile license tag from another car as
part of the plan to keep officers from
identifying the car and also In re-
moving the engine number. Officers
declare that the gang who are operat-
inC in the theft of large cars are
carrying their operations TO half
dozen states in the southwest
