Who Object to His
Immigration Stand

ATLANTA, Ga, April 3o~-Former r
United States Senator Thomas w.
Hardwick, of Georgia, who yesterday
received through the mails an internal
machine which, upon being unwrapped
exploded, injuring Mrs. Hardwck and
manning negro maid, said tonight
he was convinced the attempt on his
life was due to his efforts as chair
man of the Senate immigration Com
mittec to restrict immigration.
The former Senator said this reason
occurred to him at first, and the re-
ceipt by Representative Burnett, OF
Alabama, chairman Of the House Immi-
grafton Committee, of similar bomb
today convinced him Of the correct
ness Of his early suspicious.
"Bolshevik c2sscdness," was Mr..
Hardwick's explanation Of the sending
of internal machines to others promi-
nent in the prosecution and dcporta-
tion of radical agitators.
Mrs. Hardwick was said tonight to
be resting Comfortably, although she
received several painful cuts and burns.
Ethe! Williams, the negro maid, both
of whose hands were blown off and the
sight Of one eye destroyed by the ex-
plosion. probably will die, it was said

BoIsheuiki Had No Hand
In Bomb Plot, Declares
Martens. Ambassador

Even the suggestion that a Bolshc-
vlk or group OF Bolsheviki were re-
sponsible for the placing Of bombs in
the mails was met Yesterday with a
vigorous denial by L. c. A. K. Martens,
sel1-styled Ambassador" of the Rus
sian Soviet government in this country.
1T is absurd to think Of such a
thing said Mr.. Martens at his Of
fees, 11o West Fortieth Street "Bol-
sheviki are not doing such things. We
are counting on accomplishing our OBJ
Jectiyes by movement of the masses
and not with bombs. There are no
violent persons among the Bolsheviki.
i IS impossible"
When he was asked who he believed
might have done it, the Ambassador
replied:
''it 10 possible that it was an agent
provocateur."
And then explained that he meant it
might have been some person en-
pioyed to stir up trouble and discredit
some legitimate movement.
1t is quite possible it was done to
discrcdit the Bolshevik moyement,p he
said.
And then Mr.. Martens added that he
greatly regretted to see that such a
thing had been done.

Brazil Opens Negotiations
For Ship Line to Frisco

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Estab-
lishment of a steamship line between
San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro is
being urged on the Brazilian govern
ment by Victor du Cunha, Consul Cen
eral from Brazil in San Francisco and.
according to his statement, negotia-
tions have been opened between Brazil
and the United States looking to that
end
M du Cunha's plan calls for a
monthly sailing from both this city
and Rio as beginning. the service to
be increased as conditions warrant.
Since it is expected that France shortly
will release the thirty ships loaned to
her by Brazil, many of which are of
large tonnage, there would be no diff
ficulty in providing carriers. These
vessels were among the fifty German
craft which were seized by Brazil dur
ing the war
