FAR EASTERN PROBLEM
Settled by Giving Temporary
Rights to Japan.
Latter to Hand Back Sh%antung Prov
ince to China, Retaining Only
Economic Privileges

Paris, May 2.-According to an
agreement reached by the Council of
Three, it is said that all German rights
at Kiaochau and in Shantung province
are transferred with reserve to Japan.
Japan voluntarily engages to hand
back Shantung province in full SOW
ereignty to China, returning only the
economic privileges granted to Ger
many and the right to establish a set
Element at Using Tao, south of Kiao-
chau.
The American delegation to the
Peace conference regards this agree
ment as the best possible solution Of
the Far Eastern problem to be OBJ
tanned without risking a break similar
to that which resulted in the Italian
delegation leaving Paris. Confidence.
is felt that the league of nations, which
will have control over the future rela-
lions between Japan and China and
which will guarantee the future terri
torial integrity and independence of
China, will be sufficiently strong to
safeguard Chinese interests and insure
the return to all China's rights in the
Shantung province.
President Wilson and Premiers
Lloyd George and Clemenceau are all
especially eager for the withdrawal of
Allied troops from all enemy colonies
and are confident the league of nations
can speedily solve pending disputes
when military pressure is eliminated.

justice End New York detectives un-
der Inspector Faurot, continue their
hunt for the anarchists who deposited
in the mails nor than a score Of
bombs addressed to prominent men
in all parts of the country. No arrests
have been made as yet, but it was
intimated that several radicals are un-

Details of the progress made in the
inquiry were not disclosed. District
Attorney Swan announced hat he had
received IN anonymous communica-

Paper Maker Located.
Captain H. D. Trounce, explosives
expert of the Bureau of Mines, arrived
here from Washington, and made an
examination of the bombs. It was
found that the dynamite In them had
been soaked in njtrogRycerin to make
it more deadly.
The bombs which have not been ex-
amined were removed from the post
office when it was discovered that acid

Officers at work ON the case are
convinced the Internal machines were

RESULT OF BOMB PLOT
Conspiracy Gives impetus To De-
mand For Strong Laws.
Congress May Pass Bill Prohibiting
immigration For From One to
Four Years.

Washington, May 5.-Impetus has
been given to the demands among con-
gressmen for strong laws restricting
radicals in this country by the bomb
plot on the lives of public men.
Indications are that among the first
measures presented in the new Con-
gress will be one stopping immigra.
ton of from one to four years. This
is designed to keep out Bolshevik
propagandists.
Congressman Burnett of Alabama,
author of such a bill in the last Con-
gress, has announced his intention of
re-introducing it. Burnett was one of
those to whom a bomb was sent.
The report of the Overman com
mittee, which investigated Bolshevism,
is counted on to furnish the founda-
ton of a number of restrictive laws.
The report is expected to be presented
to Congress in June.
Aside from the anti-immigration
bill other measures likely to be pre-.
sented include:
Prohibition against carrying the Red
flag.
Broadening the governments DOW.
ers to suppress radical newspapers.
Strengthening of the existing
espionage laws.

United States Chamber of Com
merce Report Is Based on
Complete Statistics.
PREDICTS LARGE CROP
Acreage Never Before EquaIed Has
Been Planted and a Yield of
Nine Hundred Million,
Bushels Is Forecast.

Washington, May 5.-The United
States Chamber of Commerce, in a
report based on statistics obtained
from all sections of the country, re-
peats the prediction by the department
of agriculture of a wheat crop this
year even larger than the record
breaking crop of 1914.
The report stated that an acreage
never before equalled had being plant
ed and a yield of 900, 1000, 900 bushels
of winter wheat was forecast.
"The condition of the winter wheat
is so high as to be without precedent
or parallel" the report said.
ut is, in fact, a monotone of per-
lection. The plant came through the
winter and the trying month of March
unscathed and unhurt. In many Sec
tons of the West and Southwest it
was necessary to pasture it to live
stock to keep down it's rank growth.
Reports of damage are mostly re-
markable by their entire absence.
There are mere rumors of Hessian fly
and some stray predatory insects, but
that is all. Unless some climatic
catastrophe or some Egyptian-like and
unexpected plague of insects inter
vene, the yield probably will be 90O,-
100000 bushels, or about 33 per cent
more than the great harvest of 1914"
The report stated that one interest
ing side light of the situation was
that about Is per cent of the yield
would be south of the Mason and
Dixon line. Southern states which
before grew winter wheat, this
year have large acreages planted, it
was said.
Reports showed that the seeding of
spring wheat had been delayed from
10 days to two weeks by excessive
rains, and a decrease of acreage as
compared with last year was expected.

New York, May with the dis
;covery in the New York postoffice of
16 internal machines, in addition to
six more that have been delivered to
prominent men in various parts of
the country, federal detectives started
a search for the senders of the dan
gerOus missives.
The 16 bombs found we're addressed
to prominent men, including judges
thus far delivered to addresses
through the mail reached the offices
or homes of the following:
Former Senator Thomas Hardwick
of Georgia; Congressman John L..
Burnett of Alabama; Federal Judge
K. M. Lands of Chicago; Mayor Ole
Hanson of Seattle; District Attorney
Charles M. Fickert and his assistant,
Edward NJ. Cunha of San Francisco.
None of these men has been in
jured by the bombs, but Senator Hard
Wick's wife and a maid were severely
hurt. The parcels bore similar mech
anisms, arranged to explode on open
ing, and were sent as novelty sam
plies" from New York with a fictitious
tag, indicating that they came from
the store of Gimbel Brothers.
Held for Lack of Postage.
The packages found in the New
York ~postofice were discovered by a
mail clerk, after reading of the bomb
exploded at the home of Senator Hard
wick. They had all been held for lack
of first-class postage.
The addresses were all typewriter.
The style and a couple of minor err,
rors led officials to believe that the
addressing was done by a foreigner.
Clerk Makes Discovery.
A slip on the part of the senders OF
the internal machines coupled with
the sharp wits of a postoftice clerk
were all that prevented the bombs
from being delivered. The 16 pack
ages were mailed Saturday night in
box somewhere in the n~eighborhood
of Thirtieth street and Broadway
They had the correct postage for the
parcel post, but were sealed with rec
waters and therefore could be accept
ed only as first-class matter. Accord
ingly they were sent to the genera
postoffice to be referred back to tn,
sender.
Each parcel had the name of Gimbe
Brothers printed on it.
Later a representative of Gimbe
Brothers called on Inspector Cochran
and, after examining the parcels, de
clared the wrappings had never orig
mated in the department store.
