John Reed Acquitted of
Rioting in Philadelphia
Efforts to Identify Person Who
Threatened Jurymen Prove
Unavailing

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-John
Reed, writer, Socialist and self-con-
fesscd propagandist for the Lenine-
Trotzky Bolshevists in Russia, was ac-
quilted tonight by jury in the Mu-
nicipal Court of charges OF roting in
this city on May 81.
William Kogirman, Finn, who was
arrested with Reed and charged with
assault and battery as we'll as rioting,
was also acquitted. The jury was out
three hours.
Muttered threats that the jurymen
"had better watch out" in the event of
the verdict being against Reed and
kogirman caused a stir in the court
room after the luncheon recess.
Efforts of Judge MacNeille and a
juryman for whose benefit the remark
were made to find the man who threat
ened the jury were unavailing.
The charges grew out Of an attempt
by Reed to harangue crowd after he
had been refused permission by the po-
lice to address mass meeting in
Moose Hall.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Frcderick
H. Gillett, Of Massachusetts, was to-
night nominated Speaker of the next

publicap caucus. He polled just twice
as many votes as Minority Leader
James r. Mann, his most formidable
opponent The Republican majority

setts, 1873; Mann, of Illinois, SO; Camp
bell, of Kansas, 13; Esch, of Wiscon-
sin, a; Mondell, of Wyoming, 1.
Representative Mann Immediately
moved that the selection of Mr.. Gillett
be made by acclamsion, and, amid
loud applause, the record vote of the
caucus was cast for the Massachusetts,
leader.
In accepting the nomination Mr.. Gil
lett said:

tion, happiness which I suppose
comes to few men. l feel the deepest
gratitude to my generous supporters
but have no tinge of hard feeling

MIR. Gillett's name was the first pre-
sented to the caucus shortly after the
Republicans convened on the floor of
the House. He was placed in nomina-
ton by Representative Greene, of Yer
mont, and the nomination was sec
onded by Representative Anderson, of
Minnesota.

WHShin1tO1a H.uj-e0u

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-President
Wilson and Senator Boies Penrose held
widely differing views tonight regard
ing an extra session of Congress.
The President told Democratic lead
ers at the Capitol that he would not
call an extra session before his return
from Europe-some time in April or
May-and not even then unless it was
absolutely necessary.
Senator Penrose made this predic-
ton:
can extra session must be called
carly in March if the bond bill fails. IF
the bond bill passes and the naval and
some other appropriation bills fail, the
extra session must be called by
June l."
Congressional leaders think the Vic
tory Loan cannot be foated without
new legislation. They think it would
be impossible to sell bonds under the
present legal limitations as to interest
and other inducements.
And the indications tonight we're
that the bond bill will not be passed.
Strict Party Vote
On strict party vote the Senate
Finance Committee voted day to re-
port the measure virtually as it passed
the House yesterday. The report will
be presented tomorrow Senator Sim
mons offered it late to-day, but Sena-
tor Jones' of Washington, objected to
it being presented out Of order. Under
the rules consideration cannot be had
for one day.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, will
discuss the league of nations Satur-
day, which means that it will be Mon
day before the Senate can take up the
bond bill in earnest. Republican lead
ers point out that the measure will fail
without dilatory tactics being resorted
to. Failure of the Administration

President Wilson has accented Gov

House next Tuesday and discuss the
results OF his peace errand in Europe.
a committee now is being organized to
receive him. 1t is probable that Mr..
Taft will speak from the same plat
form.
Governor Smiths imitation was as
follows:
Smith Invites, Wilson Accepts

TO invite you to meet with the people

cuss with them the events which have
tr2nsplred at the Paris peace confer
ence and also with reference to the
league of nations. The people of

"noie country, are eagerly awaiting

to these events of so great Importance

ganlzatlon of the reception committee
yesterday. Abram /. Elkus will aid
Mr.. Marling, who will act as Chairman
OF the committee. George r. Van

VIII act as secretary.
From Washington came the state
ment that the President was anxious
that Mr.. Taft, one of the most power
1ui advocates of the league of nations,
should discuss the subject on the oc-
casion of his visit to New York.
Mr. Taft, who is in Evansville, Ind.
said he had not yet received an official
invitation to participate. He said he
could not say whether he would accent
the invitation until he had been no.
tfied officially that it had been ex-
tended to him. 1t is generally believed
however, that he will embrace the on
portunlty to advocate league such as
he has sought to bring about.
Will Be Speedy Visit
Like all Of his recent activities. the
Presidents visit to the city will con-
slst chiefly of short bursts of speed as
he moves from one train to another.
He will leave Washington as soon after
Congress adjourns at noon Of March a
as ne can get train for New York.
That, according to Secretary Tumul-
tvs statement yesterday, will mean
that he will leave there at 2 D. m.
He will arrive here in time for dim

g Kill
Doctors s Wife
And Beat Him
Trio at Long Beach Attack
DIR. and Mrs. Walter Will
kins as They Enter Home

LONG BEACH, N. Y, Feb. 27.-When
DR.. Walter wilkins, a physician with
Offices at 1865 West Fifty-fourth Street,
Manhattan, entered his home here to-
night three burglars knocked him down
and robbed him. Mrs. Wilkins, who re-
turned to Long Beach with her hus-
band. was attacked by one of the ma
rauders and beaten over the head until
her skull was fractured She died on
the operating table of the army base
hospital formerly the Nassau Hotel.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilkins returned to
Long Beach on the 9:15 train. When
they reached their home the front door
was ajar.
"stay here" the physician said to his
wife when they reached the steps,
until | see if everything is all right"
Felled by Blow on Head
He crossed the threshold and was
felled by blow on the back of his
head. Mrs. Wilkins screamed and
some one in the house shouted, "Take
care VI lHdC woman.
A man rushed out and grappled with
her. She fought desperately, but was
brought down by a blow on the head.
In the meanwhile the doctor, who
had been only slightly stunned, sat up
and looked into the muzzle of a pistol.
"Old man." said its holder, politely,
1--WE don't want to shoot you, but we're
~-oing to get everything you have"
The revolver remained trained on the
prostrate man while the two other rob-
bers searched him, taking $45, gold
watch and chain and diamond stick
pin. Then they fed.
Finds Body of Wife
DR.. wilkins CROPPED his way to the
porch and stumbled over the body of
his unconscious wife. He telephoned
at once to the Nassau Hotel for an
ambulance. Physicians at the hospi-
tai found that Mrs. Wilkins's skull
had been fractured and attempted
vainly to save her life by an operation.
Police who responded found that
the house had been ransacked from
garret to cellar. Just what had been
q.
A big collie owned by the physician
was found dead on the stairs
DR.. wilkins told the police that the
three men were young, roughly dress
ed and all wore caps pulled we'll down
over their eyes. The departments at
Rockville Centre and other towns are
aiding in the search.
All Roads PatrolIed.
The wilkins home, where the physi-
clan and his wife pass their summers,
had been reopened only recently and
the couple had been living there with
out servants.
The robbers apparently had spent
some time in the dwelling, for there
were the remains of meal on the
dining room table and an empty whs-
key bottle on the floor.
County Detective Carman Plant and
Chief of Police William Phillips, of
Rockville Centre, are conducting the
search for the three men. Automobiles
are patrolling all roads out from Long
Beach, and the wide meadows near the
Wilkins home have been searched, but
without result
Search of the house revealed in one
corner Of the hall eighteen inches of
lead pipe covered with cloth. This is
believed to be the weapon with which
Mrs. wilkins was slain.
The derby hat the physician was
wearing in all probability saved his
life. 1t DETECTED the blackjack, and al
though he suffered deep scalp wound
his skull was not fractured.

he would oppose the confirmation of
