Pinkerton Advocates Force
of 1000 Secret AGENTS

New Orleans, April 15.-William
A. Pinkerton, member of the ex-
ecutive board Of the international
Association of Police Chiefs, today
advocated the establishment of a
federal secret service of about 1000
members with experienced detec-
tive managers, not political" as the
best protection for the people and
our industries against anarchism and
bolshevism," when he addressed that
organization, which opened its an
nual session here.
That passing annoyance, the |.
w. w. and bolshevism, can be sue
cessfully combated and controlled
if not entirely eradicated if they are
taken forcibly in hand now" de-
clared Mr. Pinkerton.
"This government fortunately
got by" with the makeshift secret
service it raked together at the out
break Of war, principally because the
German government, Won Bernstorff
and the like, were forced to use
crude methods in their work in this
country, on account of there being
no efficient German spy or espion-
age system in the United States be-
fore the war.
This government needs a secret
service of about 1000 agents, trained
detectives, never to be used against
either labor or capital, in short to
be clearing house of secret service
data for the protection of our people
and industries"

was found unlocked when the clerks
came to work in the morning.
The property taken consisted of
II suit cases, 20 dozen silk shirts,
so dozen ties, rs dozen silk socks,

church was uncompromising. Priests
were hunted numerically. The
evidence showed that men were
slain whose only offense was that
they worked as sections or caretakers
of churches.
Churches Pillaged.
In the Perm district everything
OF value was stolen from the
churches. In some places the schools
continue, but religious teaching is
barred, branches Of study being de-
pendent upon committees of the
pupils.
Careful inquiry, the American OBJ
servers say, showed that there was
nothing constructive in any town
under bolshevik control. Money and
property were requisitioned and ex-
travagantly dissipated by many
without accounting. The hospital at
Perm was short of doctors. Out of
five, two were killed and two were
taken away.
1t is reliably related that theo-
retical bolsheviki drafted into the
new Russian army, who went to the
front uttering threats that they
would refuse ito fight against their
brother bolsheviki were disenchanted
on witnessing the results of the boil
sheviki occupation, and developed
into the most ardent enemies of the
bolSheyiki.

by her.
my word" said Mrs. Sellers;" the
poor man, he wanted a wife so bad
that he even proposed to Marie,
and he also proposed 10 a South
Dakota girl. He is 6s years old and
he is just daffy about young girls,
He may be old, but I guess he
imagines he is young"
He Doesn't Blame Peggy"

reassurlng words of Jimmy"
Sellers.
Mrs. Sellers related that Chris

if she would divorce Sellers; that he
lavished many presents on her, and
that he said he would back her to
the extent of $4,000 if she would
go through with the divorce.
"But / am going to stick to

ing a loving expression on her hus-
bard.
When Chrisman wrote to me he
quoted the Bible and Omar" she
continued.
"And as for this court action to
get my diamonds and brooch, l will
just tell you that he did this be-
cause l refused to leave Jimmy.
That's all he did it for. When Jim

In his attachment suit, Chrisman

Extracts or a letter alleged to

Mrs. Sellers follows:
1T is more pleasure to have you
kick me than to have other women
kiss me.
ITO tell you that l love you, is
to tell you that I will protect you.
Il love to think of you as the
cleanest-souled girl in the world.
my love for you only God can
bestow upon man.
Your high aims, youthful spirit,
frank and free, and soul that cannot
be touched by life's mud and mire.

more pleasing to me than the kindest
