BOLSHEVKI CONSPRED
FOR CONTROL OF WORLD
Details of Plotting Now in Hands of
Authorities, With Official
Documents.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Details Of a
gigantic Bolshevist conspiracy to
strangle industry and to inaugurate
a reign of terror that would give the
agents of Trotsky and Lenine an op
portunity to seize the governments Of
the world, are now in the hands Of
the authorities in documentary form.
1t was intimated last night that the
government machinery for the appre-
hension and prosecution Of the lead
ers in the vast plot against civiliza-
ton would be put in motion soon.
The proof against Trotsky and Lem
inc, together with certain of their
agents in this country. is declared
conclusive.
The documentary evidence against
the arch plotters and murderers Of
Red" Russia and their agents here
was obtained when operatives of the
Secret Service abroad captured cour-
iers from Soviet Russia on their way
to the United States.
Ludwig A. c. K. Martens, the Ger
man enemy alien, who describes him
self as the Commercial representa-
tive of Soviet Russia to the United
States" recently admitted before the
Lusk committee that he received
money and diplomatic communica-
tions" by courier from Petrograd, but
declined to give the legislative inves-
tigators information as to the con-
tents of the communication.

NO LABOR INFLUX SEEN
IN HEAVY IMMIGRATION

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Heavy immi
grafton, which has taxed the facilities
of Ellis Island, presages no great in
flux of foreigners that will affect the
labor market of the United States; in
the opinion Of immigration author
tiles here. They estimated today that
next years immigration through Eow
York will be only SOC, 900. as compared
with prewar figures of from 10000 to
1. .00O 900 annually.
Few Of the thousands of passengers
arriving here daily from abroad are
coming to this country unless they
have been here before or unless rela-
tives are already here. Probably 80
per cent OF the recent arrivals are re-
servists, mostly Italians, who left the
United States to fight for the native
land. Many Of them are American
citizens, about whose admission there
is no question. The balance Of the
arrivals Is composed largely of
fathers, mothers, wives and children
of men, Poles and cho-Slovaks
who ifnr rated prior to the war and
are now IL established.

Little had been said about this
matter of lonely spouses seeking
platonic companions until one case

a demobilized officer who recently ask

The officer didn't mind the SER

CONFIDENCE IN CABINET

Why He Refused Allied
Memorandum.

ROME, Dec. 31.-The senate has
recorded confidence in the cabinet
117 to 13. The vote followed a lengthy
explanation af the recent London con-
ference by Vittorio Scialoia, foreign
minister. and a speech on the inter
national situation by Premier Nitti
When Premier Lloyd George, of Great
Britain. informed him of the contents
of the allied memorandum to Italy
Scialoia said he replied:
II refuse to accept it."
The British premier then agreed he
would not press Scialoia for accept
ance, Scialoia added.
The memorandum may or may not
turn out to be of Importance, the for
eign minister added. but he said he
considered the verbal assurances
which acco nanied 1t as minimizing
it's import.
The Giornale D'Italia said today
that following publication of the

MAX ASKS RELEASE
OF GERMAN PRISONERS
Prince Appeals to Archbishop of Can
terbury for Aid in Their
Behalf.

LONDON, Dec SLIT is without
parallel in modern history that Ger.
man prisoners should be made to suf-
fer for the sins Of their government"
Prince Max Of Baden declared in a
letter to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. made public today.
The former imperial chancellor ap-
pealed to the archbishop, as primate
of the Church of England, to use his
influence to secure the liberation of
400, 600 German war prisoners, who
Prince Max said were held in France
The situation of these 400, 900 men
is desperate" Prince Max declared.
There is no power on earth willing
or able to enforce right and equity
in international dealings since by the
outcome of the war, the European
balance of power has been overthrown
and the promised league of nations
has not been put in it's place.
I'VE have reached the terrible state
of affairs that there exists only one
group of powers confident of i'm
punity in all their undertakings"
The letter also appealed to British
soldiers who have returned from
captivity in Germany.

BALTIMORE CAR LINES
GET 7-CENT FARE
Raise of Traction Rates In Monu.
mental City May Have Influence
On Situation Here.
00pyysgNA SsIN
~ y L osa1bS.R

Word that the Public Service Com
mission of Baltimore had granted .
straight seven-cent fare on the street
car lines of the United Railways of
that city was received with interest
here. Decision to allow the Balti-
more company to increase it's fare
from 6A, or four tickets for quar-
ter, was made yesterday following
public hearing lasting from 1890
yesterday morning until s O'clock yes
terday afternoon. ~ -
1t was noted by local railway on
cials that there were few, II any, OBJ
jections to increasing the rate Of fare
on the Baltimore lines. In testifying
before the commission. President EN-
mons OF the railway company prom
ised better street car service II the
higher fare rate was granted.
Conditions in the United Railway
Company and the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company Of this
city bear a striking similarity. Both
companies assert that the fair return,
which the commission in Baltimore
and Washington estimated should be
earned on investments. was not. being
made.
figures were laid before the
Baltimore Commission yesterday
showing that instead Of earning .
fair return on their investment the
books of the railway company ac-
tually showed a deficit. The COM
pany Is running away behind the
amount 1t was estimated they would
receive from the four-for-a- quarter
fare. ar -a
In Washington the Public Utflitiss
Commission estimated the w. Rand
e. Company needed $3.50. 600 thfs
year to pay operating expenses 'and
earn a six per cent return on valua-
tion. According to company officials
they expect to earn only about $500.
900.
The decision Of the Baltimore Com.
pany is expected to have influence
on the railroad companies here. 1t
is probable the W. r. and E. may fol-
low suit of the Baltimore Company
and request a straight 7-cent fare
on its lines.

Declaration by Countess.

This declaration was made today
BY Countess Markiewicz, one of the
chief leaders of the Sinn Fein and
the Arst woman elected to the British
House Of Commons. It was througn
the refusal Of the Countess 20 take
her seat that the honor of being the
drst woman to sit in parliament fell
to Viscountess AStor. Countess Mar
kiewicz is IN hiding. and 1t was only
after . pledge was given that her
whereabouts would be kept secret
that her whereabouts would be kept
secret that she consented to talk.
Upon beiig asked why she had re-
fused to sit in commons she said:
Rebels Against Oath.
NY reason for refusing to take my
seat after being the first woman
elected to parliament is q simple one.
First and foremost 1 would never
take a false oath nor swear feelty
to the crown that tyrannizes over my
country and against which every
moral and physical force in my VIII ole
being Is in rebellion and warfare.
IF you ask me why I do not go
and refuse to take oath 1t is because
would consider that course abso-
lutely futile: neither 1 nor my COL
leagues nor the people whom 1 repre-
sent have considered such a course
worth q moments discussion 1t
would not lead to anything except
absence from my country, where we
are all wanted and where there is
so much to be done.
AT the last general election-one
year ago this month-the people Of st
Patrick's division OF Dublin decided
in unison with the majority Of the
people of Ireland, that they would no
longer send q representative to a
foreign parliament to assist the enemy
in governing Ireland.
I was unable to give promises or ID
make pledges, being imprisoned in
an English jail At the time. An
enormous majority honored me wi h
their votes, knowity that was absc-
lutely in accord with their ideals and
aspirations and believing me to be
one of the crowd thai was not afraid
to stand openly for the Irish repub-
lie in an assembly IN Ireland no mat
ter what the cost.
Proud of Faith.
Il felt proud OF their faith in Inc
and prouder still the day l took my
seat in Dali Eireanne (the Sim Fem
