Make Determined Effort To.
ward Agreement on Plan
for Final Attack.

Washington, June 26.-Provision
for vigorous steps by the federal
government against bomb throwers
and other anarchists and radicals
declared by government officials to
be plotting overthrow of the gov
ernment and spending $2,000,00C
monthly to that end-were made in
the sundry civil appropriation bill
as reported to the senate. Among
the measures recommended were
large additional appropriations for
the Department of Justice and legis-
lation continuing permanently the
wartime regulations as to purchase,
storage, manufacture. sale and dis
tribution of explosives.
In reporting the bill, the senate
appropriations committee increased
from 81 100000 to $2.OOO,0O0 the fund
of the Department of Justice for gen.
eral suppression of crime. In addi-
ton. it added 100000 for a special
fund to enforce the law against
alient anarchists through deporta-
tions.
Strict Sale of Explosives.
The amendment added to continue
the explosives regulation law after
declaration of peace provides for
strict licensing and supervision of
all sales of explosives under the bu-
reau of mines.
Intention of government officials
to deal vigorously with anarchists
and other lawbreakers was disclosed
in statements made at hearings on
the appropriation bill made public.
Francis P. Garvan of the Depart
ment of Justice bureau of investiga-
ton, told the committee that with
increased funds, proposed, the de-
partment plans an active campaign.
I'VE have found in the short
time that/we have been at war"
said Mr.. Garvan, that conditions
are quite serious throughout the
country. We are asking $1,000 400
and we have every reason to believe
that the Russian bolsheviki are
pouring money in here at the rate
of that much a month";
Mr.. Garvan was asked specihca'-
ly whether there was an organized
effort to destroy the federal govern
ment, to which question he replied
Certainly. We have evidence to
show that. and that is also shown
by the tremendous amount of mon.y
they are spending. The condition
is serious throughout the country -
New York, Chicago and Paterson,
N. J., he said. are centers of an-
archistic activity. When asked II
the department has information that
another outbreak of bomb outrsges
is planned for July 4. Mr.. Garvar
said:
There is a great deal of talk to
that effect. The number of radical
papers (found in the mails) has in.
creased by more than $50 papers
since the armistice was signed. We
have to take now over $50 papers,
read and digest them.
League Fight to Resume.
Turning from the more immedi

began a determined effort toward
agreement on a plan for their final
fight against ratification of the
league covenant in its present form.

Heir-Apparent Of
Hohernonerns Flees
From Internnent
Escapes Guards and Makes
Way Into Germany From
Holland.

Paris, June 26.-The peace con.
ference has not yet been advised
of the escape of the German
crown prince, the news coming
through British sources.
Pending details, official discus.
sion of the event and its bearing
on German affairs and the ques-
ton whether it'involves violation
of neutrality by Holland is with
held.
Paris, June 26.-Frederick Will
liam Hohenzollern, the former Ger
man crown prince, has escaped
from Holland and made his way in
to Germany.
News of the escape of the ex-
crown prince caused a considerable
stir in peace conference circles.
While it is not felt that he is a
figure around which the reaction
aries and monarchists would gather
enthusiastically, nevertheless his act
is regarded as an event of consider
able significance in view of other
German recalcitrancy.
Hints have come from Germany
within the last few days that the
military caste there would not be
averse to bringing about a. military
situation within the former empire
that would embarrass the allies in
putting the peace treaty into effect
and it seems not improbable that
the move made by the ex-crown
prince is connected with some such
plan.
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly after the
signing of the armistice last Novem-
Der and was interned there by the
Dutch government, taking up his
residence on the island of Wieriu-
gen, in the Zuyder Zee.
