CONFER ON HUNT. FOR REDS
WORKOUT Police Will Guard Homes Of Govern
nent Men Who Might Be Attacked
by Bonibers Tonight. ...-. ~

Department of Justice agents and
police of Washington and cities
throughout the country today were
hunting the organized band Of an
archists who last night launched what
they called an attempt to overthrow
] the government by assassinating with
high explosive bombs government Of
fcials- and prominent men opposed to
the spread of organized lawlessness.
Anarchists and radicals with an
archistic ideas all over the country
were being questioned by agents OF
the Department of Justice. Even
those commonly referred to as "par-
lor anarchists were being interro-
gated, but. so far as Is known here
none was arrested either in Washing
ton or elsewhere.
Maj. Pullman attended two con-
ferences at the Department. OF JUS
tice, with a view to cooperating with
the department in casting q nation
wide net for anarchists.

it was intimated, would be as much
of a preventive nature as one of dis
covering the plotters in cases now
passed.
Confers With Mr.. Palmer.
Later in the morning Mai Pullman
| went into conference with Attorney
General Palmer. Details of the con-
ference were not announced.
Asked if extra precaution would be
| taken tonight to prevent a repetition
Of the bomb outrage. Maj. Pullman
said he would do all in his power to
guard the houses of officials who
might be selected as victims OF explo-
sions.
Unfortunately" said the superin-
tendent, "the department has no
emergency fund for the employment
of extra men on such an occasion
This is just such an emergency that
calls for extra men In the service, but
as it is the department will have to
do the best 1t can with It's regular
force.
MANY of the men," he added. "have
been on continuous duty for twenty
four hours or more and are tired out.
They were faithful to the duty i'm
posed upon them, however, and ex-

Congress Ready to Act.
Leaders in both the House and Sen

act Immediately in passing any leg

of violence designed to overthrow the
government, but some believed ex-
listing law was sufficient.
Representative Mondell, the repub-
lican floor leader, conferred with At
torney General Palmer, who was I'M
derstood to have reiterated that he
did not regard additional legislation
necessary. Several measures dealing
specifically with bomb outrages have
been introduced in the Senate and
their sponsors declared further pres

to the Post Office Department last
April for Investigation.

ON PROFITEERS
Young Peoples Economic
League Boycotts Merchants
Who Overcharge

Dallas, Texas-In it's fight against
the high cost of living, the Young, PEG
pies Economic League of this city is
urging everybody to refuse to buy high
priced clothing and shoes, to purchase
groceries and meats only where they
are being sold at reasonable price
and to put what has been saved there
by into War Savings Stamps and even
tually into Registered Treasury Say
ings Certificates.
The Young Peoples Economic
League, composed of both men and
women, is working hand in hand with
the Housewives Chamber of Com
merce, which was prime mover in
establishing a municipal market place,
where farmers bring their produce and
sell directly to consumers. This mu-
nicipal market proved a success from
its inception.
'By buying carefully" said one Of
the committee chairmen of the Young
Peoples Economic League, consider
able money can be saved, even with
prices as high as they are now. We
are urging everybody to take what
they have actually saved and invest it
in War Savings Stamps. They will
thus be putting dollars whose purchas-
ing power is low at work earning in
terest until the time when they are
worth more.
: money invested in War Savings
Stamps is always earning more money
for the investor and can always be Sc
cured, with accrued interest, on ten
days written notice. In these days of
high prices, it behooves all Of us to
save what we can. The war may be
over but the profteer is still waging a
merry little war of his own, and saw
ngs form one of the best weapons with
which to whip him"

LIGHTNING Melted His Watch.

IVA, Wyo.-Harry Douglass, a ranch
man, riding near his ranch in a storm,
was struck by a flash of lightning
which killed his horse, but only stunned
him AS he scrambled away from the
animal, Douglas felt burning in his
side and smoke was issuing from his
watch pocket. Thinking to save his
watch from injury he hastily drew it
from the pocket by the chain and dis
covered that the works and part of
the case had been melted.

cleopatra" From Nile
Seeks a Husband Here.

Anyone want to marry real
sure huff princess? Step right
up and don't be bashful, for ap-
parently she isn't.
Princess Della Pattra, a royal
Egyptian scion of the purest
blood, has come to America for
triple purpose. First, and
most important, she wants to
secure a good American hus-
band. Next, she is bent upon
investing at least $4,000 in an
up-to-date wardrobe and, third,
she means to tour the country
and see with her own bright
dark eyes the wonders and
splendors of which she has
heard.
This modern cleopatra" from
the Nile carries an engaging
smile, which reveals two rows
OF pearly teeth. The dress she
wore when she reached San
Francisco included loose, baggy
trousers, which were confined
by bands a little above the an
kles. Her ankles, by the way,
are not the twin slender shafts
that support the average Amer
lean girl. But she's an honest
to goodness princess.

Just as we came abeam Of the
strange ship we saw a cloud Of smoke
shoot up from her, which was followed
by the heavy thud Of an explosion.
Next moment there came another
heavy thud, and we saw that the Tur-
ritella was beginning to sink by the
head. We steamed past her and began
to circle round her at a respectful dis
lance, for ships which carry explosives
may carry them in the form of torpe-
does. Gradually the eastern sky began
to flush red; the hue was reflected by
the sea, until one could have fancied
that the stricken ship was staining the
waters with her blood. And then we
saw third boat rowing away from
the wreck in the direction of the other
two. We swung round to return and
pick them up
AS. we approached the first two boats
we realized why we had failed to I'M
derstand the language They were full
of Cinnamon all talking at once, in a
state of hysterical agitation. We wait
ed eagerly for the third boat. AS it
drew up alongside one gangway two
officers stepped briskly up the ladder,
and were followed by twenty-six men,
each wearing round blue cap with
two black ribbons falling down behind. |
Across the front of the cap ribbon was
printed in gold letters "Kaiserliche !

after all.
The TurriteIa's Story.
The story of the Turritella is briefly
this She had been captured from the
Germans early in the war. In Febru-
airy, 1917, she set out from Shanghai
with a Chinese crew and British Off
GERS; she put into Rangoon to pick up,
cargo, and again into Colombo, where
she spent some days loading up. She
left Colombo on Feb %, 1917, and four
days later walked straight into the
jaws of the Wolf. Her British officers

manned in her. A German prize crew
then took possession of her; she was
loaded up with Mines and sent off to
Alden to lay her eggs just outside the
harbor. Her subsequent movements
had all been carefully planned to fit in
