find out where there was dynamite hid
den in a dozen places.
''The persons who were leaving ex-
plosives lying around carelessly did not
seem to fear the State laws, as there
was none under which they could be
prosecuted. However, as soon as we
made them understand that 1t meant
trouble to be in possession of them they
began to get rid of explosives that wefe
not adequately protected"
According to Mr.. Manning the recent
activities of bombers has again served
to call attention to the necessity for
the stringent regulation of the sale,
storage and use OF explosives"
Officials are convinced that the meas
ures which checked the German bomb
plotters could be effectively developed

TO AIR BOLSHEVISM
AT PUBLIC HEARINGS
Joint Legislative Committee
Will Hold First Session
Here Tomorrow.
RADICALS AIM SOUGHT
If Revolution Is Intended
Steps Will Be Taken to
Meet It.

The first public hearing OF the Joint
committee Of the Legislature to inves-
tigate Bolshevism in this State will be
held in the Board OF Estimate chamber
in the City Hall at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning. After long period of investisa-
ton Senator Clayton r Lusk, chairman
Of the committee. announced last night
that they were prepared to go into
the subject thoroughly. He refused
to state who the first witnesses would
be. but declared that the first aim Of
the committee would be to define in
the public mind just what this move
ment commonly known as Bolshevisn
means in this State and in America.
I'VE have three objects to attain in
this inquiry" said the Senator. First,
we intend to find out Just what this
movement is-what It means to Amer
lea We want to know whether It is
revolutionary In its aims and tendencies
or whether II IL simply q harmless form
of political doctrine
Second. we intend to discover tust
what form OF propaganda "a used, what
the methods Of its protagouists are.
how they have been employed and what
they have In mind for the future We
want to know whether they seek to
change our form OF government by
peaceful means or by revolution.
Third. we aim. after We have accom-
plished our first two ends. to seek a
remedy Tor the political evil. II we hnd
II to be one"
Senator Lusk and Attorney-General
Charles d. Newton. counsel for the COM
mittee, are approaching the inquiry
with an open mind They do not wish
to draw conclusions before all the evi-
dence is In It u known. however. That
those who have been permitted to see
the evidence they have in their hands
are convinced that there is a dangerous
movement going on in this State, the end
of which is the undermining of the
Government by revolutionary means.
Asked II the committee would con-
Germ itself with "bomb outrages'' and
other outward Manifestations of the So
cial unrest, Senator Lusk said that II
the search for the methods used BY the
radicals lead them into plots, past or
future. they would, OF course, go into
them as far as possible.
There IL no Bolshevism here Just as
they know II in Russia" said Senator
Lusk. but we intend to investigate the
activities of those who for want OF q
better name may be termed radicals
We want to get back OF the motives Of
those who are advocating a change in
our form Of government by un-Ameri-
can methods and by means which are
contrary to our laws"
It is understood that the committee
has some sensational testimony to pro-
duce and that certain members of the
committee believe from what they have
already learned that the authorities of
some big cities are asleep to what Is
going on to bring about a social uprising
by violent means.
Senator Lusk was otSprepared last
night to say Just what his programme
was or how long the committee would
sit here 1t is known. however. that the
plan is to hold hearings in Buffalo and
some Of the other upstate cities.

Boston, June 10.-Pledges totalling

sens to obtain explosives are advocated
by Van II. Manning. Director OF the Blu
reau of Mines. An alarming situation
has been revealed to the Government in
regard to the ease with which tons of
explosives may be procured by the an
archists as soon as peace with Germany
Is proclaimed unless Federal legislation
comes to the rescue. The existing State
laws are regarded as inadequate to meet
the conditions.
In urging prompt Federal measures
officials point out that greater quantities
of explosives are available In the United
States than In any other country. At
the same time, under peace time condi-
lions II Is easier to obtain explosives
here than anywhere else. The war time
law regulating the manufacture, distri-
button, storage, use or possession of ex-
plosives has already been relaxed in
some respects and 1t Is believed there Is
some connection between this laxity and
the present activities OF the bomb plant
ers.
This law goes out OF force entirely
when peace comes and officials say there
Is urgent need for rush work by Con-
gress to provide an effective substitute.
Otherwise the anarchists and their kin
can legally come into possession of
enough explosives vastly to increase
their campaign of terrorism

It has a plain border

fringed ends.

them. We insist on neD rags
that's why the colors are 80

woven carefully-these will not

All OF which means p lot to

its unique decorative appeal
cannot compensate for lack Of
durability, or discomfort when

Explosives barred From Aliens.
The explosives regulation law now
about to lapse made 1t a serious offense
for any alien in any circumstances to
have explosives in his possession or the
ingredients by which explosives are
made. American citizens could pur-
chase explosives only by getting a Fed
eral license and close scrutiny was
given as to the use for which they in
tended them. The men who manufac-
tured explosives or sold them or bought
them were under close Government SUI
pervision, as they had to go openly be-
