with other government officials. At City
Hall, Captain of Detectives Souder con-
ferred with investigators who came to
Philadelphia from the other six cities
in which the terrorists committed out
RACES.
Additional evidence, garnered in
Washington, has given an International
tinge TO the investigation. This develop
ment indicates the foreign anarchists
were imported into this country to take
part in the outrages on Monday.
An interesting feature of this phase
of the probe is contained in dispatch
received here from Zurich, Switzerland,
where pro- German agents and an
archists are on trial One Of the ac-
cused Italian anarchists yesterday re-
marked to the examining judge:
"Our comrades are already at work
in America, as the newspaper dispatches
show"
In this city the investigations centered
| today on the work of identifying the
terrorist who was killed in Washington
and of determining why an attempt was
made here on the life of Louis Jajiecky,
jeweler, of 244 South Fifty seventh
street. The jewelers. home was bombed
as was the rectory of the Catholic
Church of Our Lady of Victory, at
Fifty fourth and Vine streets.
The international tinge developed
when the French authorities in New
York and Washington were called upon
yesterday to make investigations as the
result of the discovery of a wallet on
the lawn of Mr.. Paimer's home on the
day following the explosion.
This wallet is supposed to be the
property of the dead man. and in it
scraps of paper that lead the authori-
ties to believe the man had lately ar
rived in this country from France, and
anarchist group in Europe opening op-
erations in this country.
An investigation of the contents re-
vealed a note written in French, sup
posedly by the dead man, saying Il
am -" (Here the name which the
authorities refused to divulge was filled
! in J 81 arrived here on the" (Here
the name of a French vessel plying be-
tween New York and France was in
scrted.)
In the wallet were a number OF
French, Italian and American postage
stamps. The exact nationality of the
dead man has not yet been determined
but the authorities are almost positive
from the discovery of the wallet that
the man came to this country only a
short time ago. The wallet, when taken
to leather experts, was declared to have
been made in France. although the name
of the manufacturer is not stamped upon
1t.
A picture of a boy about nine years
old also was found in the wallet, and
is supposed to be the son of the dead
anarch ist.

AT LAST, A H0RNLESS BULL
Not a Nature Fake, but Real LIv,
Animal Minus Usual Headgear


"I have heard of hamless sandwiches
and stinglcss bees and beerless schoon-
ers, but I'll be gum swizzled IL that
amt the first hornless bull I've ever
scent"
And the stranger who is taking in
the Holstein sales at the Bulls Head
Bazaar, Thirty seventh and Market
streets, scratched his head.
"Now, there's bull wouldn't be
skeered of meeting in the meadow with
even Bolshevik flag in my hand. He's
an awful ugly hooking animal, and he
looks as If he hadn't had a shave for
the last month, and I dare say that
his uncomeliness is what takes the
place of horns for his own protection.
Now that we got hornless bulls, who
knows what we are due to get next.
Who wants to live in a world with
swordless fish, or humpless camels? II
amt natural.
"And it has its pathetic side, too.
How the deuce do they expect the poor
gentle COW to call for help when il
needs help without having one horn,
let alone two?'

DEFENSE OPENS IN
FORD'S LIBEL CASE
Presentation Of Chicago Tri-
bune's Evidence Is Expected
to Continue a Month
Lawyers READ IN RELAYS
BY the Associated Press

Mount Clemens, Mich, June 6.--Di-
rect evidence for the plaintiff in Henry
Fords 81 ,0O0, 900 libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune was completed today
and presentation Of the defense, ex-
pected to last month, was begun.
Counsel for the plaintiff yesterday in
troduced dispositions, editorials and even
cartoons for the purpose of showing
that specific malice lay behind the Trib
une editorial of June %, 1916, in
which the Detroit manufacturer was
called an anarchist.
Counsel for the Tribune objected to
all of the evidence introduced yesterday
most of it on the grounds of remoteneDs
to the issue on trial. Desks were piled
high with ponderous bound volumes of
the Tribune, and lawyers, to save their
throats, relieved each other in reading.
As the volumes were opened the big
banner headlines of 1915. announcing
one German victory after another, were
visible to the spectators. The front
pages were devoted almost entirely to
news of the great war, but from time
to time on the editorial page the hw-
yers found writings devoted to the Mex
ican situation, but generally in its re-
lation to the holocaust in Europe.
The editorials read bore the headings
Submarine Controversy, President
Wilson Moves for Peace" ''Mexicc
and Belgium Entering the European
War" and "Our National Danger"
The cartoons were pertinent to thu
editorials. They were introduced by
the plaintiff to support his charge thai
the Tribune urged war against Mexico
to divert supplies from the enemies o
Germany, and that specific malice
arose in the breasts Of the publisher
against Mr.. Ford because he opposed
the use of force in the country soutf
of the Rio Grande.

Man Charged With Driving Muir
der Car and Killing compan-
ion Identified by Women
CORONER DETAlNs HIM

Albert "Red" Murphy, twenty mine
years old, who said he lived at Nine
teenth street and Columbia avenue, was
held without bail by Coroner Knight to-
day to await the action of the grand
jury.
While detectives and witnesses were
testifying that he shot and killed one
of his companions in a holdup at Fifty
first and Arch streets on May % the
accused man sneered continually.
He is charged with having caused the
death of Wilfred e. Carpenter, of New
Bedford, Mass, Belgian. Carpenter
was fatally wounded by shot said to
have been fred by Murphy at Harry
w. Peterman, 533 North Allison street,
collector for the American Stores
Company.
Miss Lillian Moore, 5021 Ludlow
Terrace, who witnessed the hold up and
shooting swore to the most damaging
testimony given against Murphy. She
was one of several women who wit
messed the shooting, and positively iden-
titled Murphy as the man who drove the
murder car used in the hold-up, and
the one who fired the fatal shot.
Maxwell Webster, owner of the ma
chine used by the bandits, who said
it was stolen from in front of his home
on Spruce street near Sixtieth, was
subjected to a severe examination by
the detectives. He admitted at the in
quest that he had been arrested on
several occasions for suspicion of pick.
ing pockets, but denied all intimations
that he was implicated in the hold up
in West Philadelphia. He was not ar
rested in connection with the case.

"Senator Borah is right" said
former President Taft today when
told of the references the Idaho

him yesterday in the Senate.
'Senator Borah," and the full
Taft chuckle came out, Says that
the Democrats treat me kindly"
Then he laughed. "He says they
treat me in the same way that people
move aside in respectful attitude
to let the dead pass.
81 agree with Senator Borah in
that characterization of the attitude
of the Democrats toward me.
'One of my chief interests in the

me even in my grave, is to prevent
other funerals"
And then he laughed the hearty
Taft laugh that began with a chuckle
and ended with head thrown back
