RUSS RADICALS IN
! BIG BOMB PLOT
Pittsburgh Police Say They
Have Evidence to
Prove This.
lBy Associated Pressl

PITTSBURGH, June 4. - Evidence
that anarchists responsible for bomb
explosions at the homo of Judge w.
H S. Thompson, of the United States
District Court, and W. w. sibray,
chief inspector of the Bureau of I'm.
migration, Monday night. were oper-
ating undet orders from Russian rad
ical headquarters at 1873 East FIf-
teensn street, New York, was in the
hands of the police here today.
According 10 an announcement this
morning by Superintendent r. ]. olde-
right. of the bureau of police, John
Johnson, president of the local /. w.
w. organization who was arrested
yesterday after a fight with detec.
tives in down town office building,
came to Pittsburgh from New York
two weeks ago at the instance o.
"Nmber 1001." William Haywood,
president of the national /. w. w.
Johnson, who the police say, was
the directing genius of the bomb plot
in this city was held in jail here with
score OF other alleged anarchists
who were arrested yesterday and last
night. Bail was refused in each case.
In partial confession made to the DO.
lice late yesterday Johnson is said to
have named a Cleveland man as the
maker OF the bombs exploded here.
This man, whose name the police
withheld, also is said to have operat-
ed under orders of the radical head
quarters in New York and is believed
TO have gone to Chicago after the ex-
plosions here. A search for him was
being made in that city today.
NEW YORK, June New York DO.
lice have no evidence to support the
theory of Pittsburgh detectives that
the anarchists responsible for yester-
days bomb explosions acted under or
ders from the Russian radical head
quarters in this city, according to a
statement made at police headquar.
ters today.
1t was said that the house in ques-
ton which is known as "The Russian
Peoples Home" has been under con.
slant notice since last March when Il

were subsequently deported. Since
that time they have had no evidence
that the house was being used as the
headquarters Of the terrorists.

League of Nations

There is every reason why loyal
Americans, especially those OF foreign
blood. should support our president,
Woodrow Wilson, and our ex-president,
William H. Taft in their fight for a
league of nations.
Consider the alternative: Unless a
league of nations is established by
the Peace of Paris the world will
surely revert to the old policy OF
balance of power. We shall see es-
tablished offensive and defensive
groups of nations, into one of which
we shall find ourselves drawn just as
we were drawn into the Entente to
preserve our national existence. These
will be to us entangling alliances MAX
ing friends of one. group and enemies
of another.
Some will argue that We need not
join any one of these. They might as
well argue that we shall not use the
wireless telegraph, the ocean steamer,
the air ship, the international railroad,
international commerce and banking.
We were drawn into the war because
Germany said the United States OF
America is not to use the seas as it
pleases but as we pleased
But assume that we could keep out
of such entangling alliances, and it
was that which Washington, first in
peace, warned us against and not a
world league to mainain peace. As
sumo that ten years hence France,
England, Italy, Belgium, Norway and
Denmark, shall have formed an ALI
ance. Also that Germany, Russia,
Ireland, Sweden and japan have united
against them. What will be the effect?
Not only does it set the stage for war
in Europe and Asia, but it plants the
seeds # discord in our own. country.
We are the world in little. Here
are sons and daughters of all the
above nations. Hatred between the
two groups above will result in hatred
between their representatives in Amer
lea. Instead of peace and harmony we
shall have rival propagandas; instead
of Americanization we shall have for
eign and alien traits and Characters
tics glorified; instead of a nation
drawn together by units of purpose
and ideals we shall be sent asunder
by intrigue, suspicion and hate. There
is too much of this now!
Let those men who oppose the league
of nations beware the day of reckon
ing. If they love America, let them
lay aside their partnership. Yes,
even if they look back tenderly to

FOURTEEN COUNTIES ARE
INVITED TO PARTICIPATE
IN RIVER VALLEY MEET

Fourteen central Wisconsin counties

pected, in Wausau on March "a and
25, when the first Wisconsin River
Valley REIMBURSEMENT convention will
be held under the auspices of the eX
tension division of the University of
Wisconsin, which is arranging the pro-
gram and bearing the expense. In
previous years a single congress has
been held at Madison; this year ar
rangements have been made to hold
conventions in five districts, into
which the state has been geographical
ly divided.
Six Sessions Set For Congress
Six sessions, one each morning, af-
ternOon and evening, will be set for
the congress during which many i'm
portant questions concerning indiVidu-
al business men, labor, municipal
tiles and the district as a whole will
be discussed by able men. The enter
tainment committee of the Wausau
Chamber of Commerce, will act in this
capacity for the congress. Sessions
will be held in the council room, city
hall.
l.. z. Blackmer, extension division
representative in Wausau, declares
that program full of headliners has
been obtained. A letter which he
received said: mo one can expect a
program of headliners but we have
this for you through your insistence."
Well Known Speakers Coming
T. F. Adams, famous throughout the
country as an income tax expert and
who was intimately associated with
the treasury department at Washing
! ton, will be present. Prof A. S.
McElwee, who in 1916 visited Germany
and upon his return recommended that
the United States have board to
govern the production and marketing
of food, will address the convention.
G. F. Barber, a consulting engineer,
known internationally, has been OBJ
tanned. j. r. Commons, well known
Wisconsin economist and connected

Iversity of Wisconsin, has also been
booked.
Utmost Cooperation Expected
A committee for women will be ap-
pointed shortly. Retailers, jobers,
wholesalers, manufacturers and labor
ers of the entire district will be i'm
mediately placed upon committees.
AS fourteen counties are included in
the district very large number of
visitors may be expected in the city.
Every effort is being made to obtain
the utmost cooperation from promin-
ent men of Merrill, Marshfield, Amigo,
Stevens Point, Grand Rapids, Port
Edwards and Nekoosa and other cities
o fthe river valley.
Prof. Gordon who toured the coun-
try with Lieut.. John Philip Sousa and
his naval band, will lead community
singing. His ability is indicated in
the fact that Lieut. Sousa selected
him as his aid for this special task.

HUM! FRENCH BRIDE WILL
DECORATE RINGLE HOME


A resident of the town of Ringle
visited Wausau Monday. He just
happened to run into Frank N.
Blecha, city clerk, and told him
the sad little story: 80
"Just heard from my son from
over there he said, land what do
. you know about it, the kids goin'
to bring home little French girl
he's gone n married Well, it's all
right-as long as he loves her."
It's said there are going to be
many of them. One of Wausau's
bellies, sitting near, heard the tale
of Ringle's little French bride.
81 don't like it at ALL" she de-
clared. at seems just awful and

should stay right there in France"

OBJECT TO SHIPPING PLAN
IN OPERATION
Chamber of Commerce Declares 1t
Useless NOw-Industrial Congress
Emphasized As Important

The Chamber of Commerce held one
of its most successful MONDAY lunch
cons Monday at the Hotel Bells. Over
100 business men attended and enthus-
iastically listened to favorable reports
of committees. That the 500 mark
will be reached before the membership
campaign is concluded was reported as
certain by ]. P. Duskey, chairman of
the membership committee. Ninety
three new members, he declared, have
already been obtained and eleven COM
mittees are yet to be heard from.
Object to Traffic Discrimination
A resolution was adopted, later to be
framed and forwarded to Washington,
requesting the restoration of shipping
rules existing prior to the war. At
the present time restrictions make it
impossible to ship goods from this
city to points in northern Wisconsin
on convenient schedules. Merrill can
be reached by freight but three times
a week. Other places can only be
reached twice and some once a week.
Chicago and Milwaukee houses, it is
felt, are thereby given an unnecessary
advantage, as often times they can
reach these places every day. Inas-
much as the measure was one in the
interest of the war, local concerns can
see no reason for it's continuance.
The industrial committee, composed
of H. G. Flieth, A. E. Sole, Grin Lille
qvist, H. e. Damon, w. H. Bissell, ].
N. Manson, M. P Mccullough and D. C.
Everest will draw up a resolution this
week. This committee reported also
that it had under consideration several
matters concerning the location of new
business concerns in Wausau, which
will be reported at future meeting of
the association.
Reimbursement Program Emphasized
l.. E. Blackmer, University Exten-
sion bureau, emphasized the import
ance of the Industrial or Re-adjust-
ment congress to be held in Wausau,
March "a and 25. The program prom
ises to be of exceptional value to man
ufacturers, professional men and small
business men. Labor will receive
much from the convention. The en-
tertainment committee of the chamber
OF commerce, it is expected, will well
come the visitors to the city and pro-
vide entertainment.

DEMAND FOR HOUSES


There has never been a time in
the history of Paris when there was
a greater demand for small houses
and rooms to rent than at present.
1t is almost impossible to secure a
small house at any price, and as for
rooms, they are at a discount.
The demand for this class of
houses has become so very insistent
that it seems to us it would be a
splendid investment for some of our
local capitalists to erect number
for renting purposes. We frequent
ly have inquiries from strangers
who want to know if it is possible to
secure a small house in this city.
We have heard of a number of good
citizens who would like to move to
Paris, but the uncertainty of finding
housing accommodations tends to
keep them away.
