HENDERSON TO
 BOOST LEAGUE
 OF ALL NATIONS
(Continued from Page 1.)

where.
 MT. Henderson then recited the well known aims of the Labor party, including a league of nations. He said that such a league implied the com- plete characterization of the machin- cry of government in all countries, the suppression of the greed of diplomacy and the publication of treaties, which must never contravene to stipulations of the league of nations It meant the certain abolition of military ser- vitude in all countries, to be prepared for by common limitation of arma- ments. and that there must be no sug- gestion of commercial boycott or the financial or commercial isolation of Germany.
 The German policy toward Russia made the policy of peace by concilia- ton much more remote. The people must convince the German people that victory for such ruthless militar- | ism would fasten permanently on | democratic nations the awful burden | of armaments and enforced service | and that the greater the German suc- cess on the battle front, the more re- mote was world peace.

ROBBERY CHARGE
 AGAINST BARBER

Thomas Tosto, a barber, residing at S75 East Main street, when arraigned before Judge Bartlett in the city court today charged with robbing the home of Joseph D. Neigris, AZ Beach street of jewelry and other articles valued at $100, said that the goods had been given to him by Mrs. Neigris. This statement was emphatically denied by Mrs. Neigris, who startled the court by declaring that Tosto had forced her to give him the articles of jewelry by threatening her life with a razor. At this point the court decided to con- tinue the case until tomorrow.
 When the burglary was reported to the police several weeks ago Detective Sergeant Simons was assgfned to the case by Detective Captain Cronan, and by following clues which the alleged burglar left in the Neigris home the trail finally led to Tosta. The house which Tosta lives in and the Neigris | home are situated back to back and ] entrance was gained to the Neigris apartment through a rear window.

U. s. OFFICERS IN N. '. SEEK
 WIRELESS PLANT

New York, March 5-Governmentl officials are searching for powerful wireless outfit in this city which, it is believed, is in communication with the German station at Nauen.
 Messages in code have been picked up by wireless stations maintained by the Army Intelligence Bureau.
 One of these messages picked out of the air several days ago has been partially decoded.
 It is the belief of army signal of- ficers stationed at Fort Totten that this message reported the departure from New York of the troopship Tus- canla which was later torpedoed with appalling loss of American lives.
 In efforts to locate this mysterious wireless plant an army radio station has been operating at the Hotel Ma jestic for some weeks. The anten- nae of this outfit is hidden by the huge electric sign on the roof of the hotel at Seventy-second street and Central Park West.
 Secret new devices attached to this plant indicate the location and direc- tion in a general way of the plant from which outside messages are sent.
 Several code messages have been picked up from this powerful and mysterious German radio system. The ''detectors" on the Hotel Majestic plant indicated the German wireless was somewhere in the vicinity of the Battery.
 Captain F. A. Houghton, of the l Army Intelligence Bureau, came l from Fort Totten two weeks ago and has been living at the Majestic. 9th CT officers and wireless experts of the army and navy have been aiding in the hunt for the Berlin radio. When word came that wireless outfit could be found at No. Ill Broadway Cap tain Houghton notified United States Marshal Mccarthy.
 It was intended to visit the Trinity Building, at No. III Broadway, last Saturday night. Marshal Mccarthy went to the Majestic and had con- ference with Captain Houghton and the decision was arrived at to make the raid on Sunday. For several days Richard Pfund the tenant had been under observation.
 Captain Houghton, Marshal McCar- thy's wireless experts from Fort Tot ten and a couple of deputy marshals made up the visiting party. The tow CT on top of the roof at the twenty first story of the building has four floors. These were formerly used as the offices of the Telefunken Co.,, the German-owned wireless system, which maintained powerful sending and re- ceiving stations at Sayville, L. l., and Tuckerton, N. J.
 Pfund was their manager until
 April, 1913, when he had trouble with
 his company and resigned. He then
 leased the four floors of the tower in
 his own name. He used them as an
 experimental laboratory. The wire less plant which formerly operated from the tower remained. Pfund says
 he dismantled it early last year wher
 orders from the Navy Department
 putting a prohibition on all wireless
 except those plants operated by the government
 On Sunday Pfund was seen to enter him They obtained key from Car A. Leasenfeld, superintendent of the
 building, which is owned by the U. B
 Realty & Improvement Go. Once in.
 side, the officers found Pfund hai : gone upstairs in his tower, locking the door behind him. They called on him to open. He refused.
