the mechanics got the aeropqane out or the hanger, and the prisoner and his guard climbed into the seats.
 After circling round for 8. few min utes Porten headed for the Russian Hnes and descended in daylight on the outskirts of the town of Konigs- berg, where he immediately made himself known to the Bolsheviks. He became an active member of the Sol diers' Council, while his late gaoler and accomplice, having obtained a note from Porten for the payment of a large sum, very wisely diSap pear ed, and there Is reason for belfev- ing this man ds today living the life of a gentleman in a neutral country. since he certainly presented Porten's note some weeks later at bank in Stockholm, and received the equtva- lent in Swedish currency of S25, 900.
 Trapped Again.
 The Germans through one of their many agents, quickly discovered tha hiding place of Porten, and without warning moved their troops up and surrounded the town.
 Porten was arrested and handcuff- ed, and accompanied by an armed guard of picked men, was taken from Konigsberg to Berlin, where he was put into a. military prison, and later housed in Moabit Ca,ol. His trial before the Military Court was delayed first by the publication of the Kaiser and the rise of democracy and then came the Spartacist revoK which once again necesSitated delay. For months Porten has remained in prison awaiting trial. and during that time has made many attempts to escape. But his gaolers are re 1 lent1ess, and refuse to be made parties to any plot which that ex- | officer conceives.
 A special Military Court has been appointed to act as his Judges, and even among the most advanced | Spartacists there is very little sym pathetic feeling displayed towards Porten. When he was arrested at Konigsberg the Germans discovered at his hotel a mass of correspond ence he had with the Bolsheviks con corning the dead, and the acknow- lledgments from certain banks of payments into his account of huge sums of money. All these documents | will be produced at his trial.

HUN FLYER STOLE AERODROME
 WITH ITS' EQUIPMENT AND SOLD IT
Special Correspondence to Times.

Special Correspondence to Tin1es.)
 Berlin, May Stealing an aerodrome with its machines and equipment is the extraordinary charge against a flying officer. He is Paul Porten, a. German, and holder of the Iron Cross for heroic achieve rrents.
 It was from one of Porten's gaoI- CTS that I heard the full story of the amazing case in which this ex-of1cer is concerned. Porten, after being severely wounded in a conflict with Q Russian airnlan, was found unfit for further flying service, and was given the charge of a large aero drome and flying school at Kovno, in Russia.
 At the aerodrome were housed ten large Gotha machines, which the Germans used for bombing the neighboring Russian towns, to say nothing of a very considerable num- Der of scout and fast machines which were daily in use by the Germans over the Russian lines. The value of the aeroplanes, parts, and equipment at Kovno are said to have been over $2,5O0,O00.
 Treating With Bolsheviks.
 Porten, it is alleged, when the Bolshetiks came into power in Rus sia conceived the idea of selling the whole aerodrome. with it's plant, ma chimes, and equipment to the Bol- sheviks Taking Q, fast scout ma chine he flew over to the Russian lines, and held a conference with q number of BoIsheviks, who consti- tuted the Soldiers Council. He un- folded his scheme, and ultimately the price was fixed at S2,5eO,OO0.
 The Russians were quite ready and able to pay the cash in Russian roubles but the German would not consider this, knowing the difficulty he would experience in changing SC large an amount of Russian money in Germany, and the suspicion which would naturally be aroused Porten succeeded in inducing the Russians to obtain the money in Ger man notes, and he flew back to the aerodrome at Kovno after one of his visits to the Russian lines with $1,- 250,000 in German notes in his pos session. The deal was completed and Porten had half the purchase price.
 Aerodrome Seized. Without delay Porten sent the money into Sweden and Norway, de. posting it in banks there under as sumed names.
 His next task was to hand the aerodrome and it's contents over tc the Russians, and to accomplish this Porten hit upon a wild but daring scheme. The Russians and German

 Included among the injured were 16 policemen. Lieutenant Nelson J. Meeker, whose skull was fractured in a night disturbance, and an Italian, were said by hospital physicians to be dying.
 A Socialist meeting hall was the scene of much disorder last night as a result of the wreclAng of Socialist headquarters during the afternoon.
 Buenos Aires, Thursday, May l. Vigilance committees organized by the Argentine patriotic league and supported by military and naval de-

 President Irigoyen summoned Dr. Manuel Carles, president of the league, yesterday. and said that So- cialist and anarchisttc organizations had appealed to him for protection l against the league, which had post ed warnings that it would forcibly suppress any Maximalist disorders The president asked what the league intended to do.
 With or without authority" Dr. l Carles answered, "the patriotic league intends to end anarchistic efforts to | break down the civilization of Argen- l tina. It intends to prevent all demon | strations by anarchists"
 This morning the league sent one ! civilian, one army officer and one l naval representative to each of the 43 police districts. Each district chief
 was told that the three men "repre-
 sented the army, navy and the pub lie, and intend to see that you dc your duty today. The league has

Paris, Thursday, May 1.---(By The Associated Press. )---Two hundred and fifty policemen were hurt, one ser geant who was stabbed in the back being in a dangerous condition dur ing yesterdays May Day disorders, according to an announcement made by the prefecture of police at mid night. Apparently only one person was killed, a youth named Lorne, who, according to reports not yet au- thenticated, was struck by several re- volver bullets. The person who fired the shots is said to have been arrest ed, but whose identity has not been established.
 There were. besides, 26 persons se- Herely wounded, 200 slightly injured and 150 arrested during the demon strat1ons. American ambulances did efficient work in picking up the wounded, the American Red Cross at tendants being cheered by the crowds.
 One Of the incidents of the day oc- cured at the Invalides bridge. where an American lieutenant colonel and two Junior officers were stopped by dragons when they attempted to cross the river. After a. barley the Anneri- cans were charged upon by some cav alrymen and shots shots were fired.
 During a clash between the police and a. crowd in Place De La Bastille, in which 20 persons were wounded, a policeman shouted to the mob If you want to fight, go to Versailles and fight the Germans"
 The mob, took up the cry of ''On to Versailles" and a diversion was ere ated which averted more seri ous fight ing. Foreigners were prominent among those engaged in the demon strations and the police declared to- night that virtually every other leader fin the crowds was either Russian or Spanish.
 Socialists and the leaders of labor unions are extremely indignant over yesterdays incidents. The general
