as rabid pacifist.
The Washington Times received a
letter fully an hour and a half before
the explosion which wrecked the Sen
ate reception room. 1t was dated
June l, and signed "R Pearce." It
was a long and rambling argument
against the shipment of arms abroad
from the United States. 1t said in
part: We get rich by the eXporta-

rich ourselves when IT means the un-

Chief of Capitol Police Louthan said
at the time that a small time-fuse
bomb placed in the northernmost
booth of the line OF telephone cabI-

MORRISON BLAMES
IMMIGRATION LAWS
By FRANK MORRISON.
Secretary, American Federation of
VakoH

The attempted destruction Of life
and property, described in the news
papers today, should cause calm re-
Election, rather than hysteria, on the
part OF every American.
1 can understand why the Nihilist
Of Russia used bombs, but this meth
Cd can have no place In American in
situations. And when il is used it is
out patriotic duty to inquire why.
For years the trade union movement
has urged the restriction Of immigra-
ton. but the workers were opposed
by steamship companies the steel
trust" and other employers OF labor
who stimulated immigration at the
rate Of 1000 900 persons a year.
Many of these immigrants were
herded in large Cities or other indus
trial centers. They were encouraged
to use their own language and to
perpetuate traditions OF their mother
countries. At election times, in in
Vulnerable instances, they were voted
en- bloc, and if they would organize
trade union or suspend work to stop
exploitation, they were enjoined
dubbed. and jailed This is an old
story in West Virginia, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
What can Americanism mean to
those people? They do not even IN
derstand our language. To them
Americanism means a petty boss and
low wages. They know nothing Of
our theory Of government
This country is now reaping the
result OF its immigration policy-or
lack OF policy-during all these years.
Bomb throwing is always a chal-
lenge to organized society, and should
be met in that spirit. But the ques-
tion must be traced back to its root
and treated accordingly. Americanism
must be more than a shibboleth. 1t
must bean education, opportunity. and
social justice for all We must vitalize
our declarations and our beliefs that
injustice has no place on American
soil.
In this soil, bomb throwing will
wither and die.

CHALONER LIBEL
VERDICT REVERSED

BY an opinion rendered BY Associate
Justice James c.. McReynolds yestsR-
day Afternoon. the Supreme Court Of
the United States reversed both the
Court Of Appeals and the lower court
in the District OF Columbia in the
case OF John Armstrong Chalonsr
against the Warrington Post Com
pany and set aside the verdict o.
$4,000, which was rendered In the
District Supreme Court against the
defendant.

ages on account OF an article which
appeared April 3. 1909. relative to
the incident in which John Gnlard
met his death while on Chalonshss-
place at Merry Mills. Va. at that
time. Mr.. ChslOner in bis deelara-

WATCH
SEARCH FOR CLUES

In the, Vicinity of the. Attorney
Generals house last night a sight
unique for the fashionable section OF
the city was presented. Several
thousand PERSONS lined R street COR
several blocks and kept a large
number OF policemen busy trying to
keep them from in front Of the Pal
mer residence

and Twenty-second streets presented
an autump-like appearance, the force
Of the explosion blowing the leaves
from the trees with much greater
effect than the hrst chill OF winter.
The street. too. was Uttered with
broken glass and the houses along
both sides. brilliantly lighted from
cellar to attic. showed that little II
any. glass was left in the windows.
Window shades. and sashes, too, were
torn from their fastenIngs.
Women could be seen in dressing
gowns peering out from the houses,
and in many of them. especially
those near by. policemen we're going
through the front rooms. seeking for
parts OF the bomber's clothing or
body, in the hope Of getting evidence
to identify him.
In the street in front Of the Pal
mer home a FIRE department truck
was stationed. while the 3remen were
examining the houses in the i'm
mediate vicinity to ascertain IL the
explosion had damaged the structures
10 such an extent as TO make them
uninhabitable!
Along the street the policemen
were playing strong searehlights on
the trees. also looking for clues AMI
pieces OF flesh and clothing which
were found in the branches:
For three blocks automobiles were
parked by their occupants who
crowded as near the Palmer. house
as IL was possible to get.

Two methods are commonly used for

A second method is to use the left
