BELIEVED PLOT TO
KILL PRES. WILSON
FOURTEEN MEMBERS OF SPAN
ISL |. w. w. ROUNDED UP
BY OFFICERS.

New York.-Vigilance on the part
of the United States secret service
and quick action by the New York
police thwarted what it is believed
was to have been an attempt upon
the life of President Woodraw VIII
son in Boston after he had passed 10
weeks abroad in security.
Anarchists of three cities-New
York, Boston and Philadelphia
thought to have been behind the plot,
which was to hurl bomb al the
chief executive as he passed through
the streets of the New England me-
tropolis.
Fourteen aliens, admittedly anarch-
lists and most of them acknowledging
membership in the Industrial Work
ers of the World, are behind the bars
in police headquarters following a
raid upon the headquarters or an or
ganization into which they were
banded.
Two of the men, Elario Orestissa of
2640 East or West Norris Street, Phil
adelphia, and Florien Medina Veitia
of the same address, one of them a
chemist and the other a machinist,
came to. this city from Philadelphia.
In their rooms the police found parts
of a machine which they think was
to have been used in making the
bomb.
On the person of one of the local
men arrested was found the adj
dresses of two places in Boston that
the police think are anarchist strong
holds.
The theory of the plot, as evolved
by the authorities, is that the two
men from Philadelphia were sent 70
this city to make the bomb and that
some one from New York was to go
to Boston and hurl it, being shielded
when in that city by the comraaes
of disorder there. Efforts are being
made by the federal authorities, 1t
was said, to seek for any possible
connection between the anarchists
now under arrest and the men 3e-
sponsible for the recent bomb ous-

WELCOME WILSON
HOME AT BOSTON
IN SPEECH AT MECHANICS HALL
HE TELLS OF EUROPEAN AD-
MlRATIoN FOR AMERICA.

Mechanics Hall, Boston.-Presi-
dent Wilson, in his first speech here
on landing from France, invited the
critics of the league of nations plan
to TEST the sentiment of America.
Men, he declared, who would have
America fail the world in it's hopes,
saw only beyond the nearest hori-
son.
They do not know the sentiment
of America" he said.
Speaking of hopes and aspirations
of the people of Europe for lasting
peace, which, he said, were pinned TO
the United States as the friend of
mankind the president said he had
no more doubt of the verdict of
America in this than | have doubt OF
the blood that is in me-
THE nations OF the world have SCI
their heads now to do great thing,
and they are not going to stop short
OF their purpose. | do not speak of
the governments, but of the peoples,
who will see that if their present gov
ernments do not do their will, some
others will. And the secret is out
and the present governments
know it.
81 have come back for an attempt
to transact business for little while
in America but | say in all soberness
that have been trying to speak your
thoughts. Probing deep in my heart
and trying to see the things that are
right rather than the things that are
expedient, l am finding the heart of
America.
Il find that in loving America l
have joined the majority of my fell
lowmen throughout the world"
The greatest thing / have to re
port to you" said he. lis that this
great country of ours is trusted
throughout the world | have not
come to report on the progress of the
peace conference. That would be pre-
mature.
Speaking of the slow progress of
the conference, the president remind
ed his audience of the completely of
the problems affecting nearly every
country in the world.
Now" said the president, this
confidence we have established calls
for something. The Europe left was
full of hope. The Europe of the
third year of the war was sinking
10 q stubborn desperation. They
thought the end of the war would
eventually be a resumption of the old
order. They never dreamed it would
be Europe of settled peace.
Nov all the peoples of Europe are
buoyed up in the hope that all the
nations of the world shall unite their
moral and physical forces that right
shall prevail. What would happen If
America should fail the world of its
hope? All nations will be set up as
hostile camps again and the men at
the peace conference will go home
with their heads upon their breasts
because they will have failed. We
would leave on the peace table moth
ing but a modern scrap of paper"

STRIKE IS
HOLDING UP THE
WAGEADJUSTMENT
President Wilson Will Take
Up Matter When Men
Go Back.
HE WRITES TO HINES
Says Congress Has Freed
Him to Deal With Mat
ter On It's Merits.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-president
Wilson notified DIrector-General
Hines that he was authorized to take
I, up the demands of railroad shop en-
ployes for higher wages and decide
them on their merits.
The President said that the letter
sent him by Senator Cummins, chair
man of the committee on interstate
commerce, had set me free to deal
as think best with the difficult uues-
ton of the wages of certain classes
OF the railroad employees" but added:
The chief obstacle to a decision
has been created by the men them
selves. They have gone out on a
strike and repudiated the authority
of their officers at the very moment
when they were urging action in re-
gard to their interests"
The Presidents decision was an
nounced from the White House in the
form Of a letter sent by him to Mr..
Hines The President said that "un-
til the employees return to work and
Nm recognize the authority of their
sanitation. the whole matter must
be at a standstill"
The Presidents letter follows: az
am Just in receipt of the letter from
Senator Albert B. Cummins. chair
man OF the Senate committee on in
terstate commers, which sets me free
10 deal as think with the difficult
question OF wages of certain classes
Of railway employees, and take ad-
vantage of the occasion to write you
this letter, In order that may both
in the public interest and in the in
terests of the railroad employees them
selves make the present situation as
clear and definite as possible.
II thouSht It my duty to lay the
question in its present pressing form
before the committee OF the Senate,
/, because / thought should not act
\ upon this. matter within the brief in
teryal of government control remain
ing without their acquiescence and
approval. Senator Cummins' letter,
which speaks the unanimous iudg-
ment the committee, leaves me free
and indeed imposes upon me the duty
TO act.
THE question of wages of railroad
shaomen was submitted, you will re-
member, to the board of railroad
wages and working conditions of the
RAILROAD administration last February,
but was not reported upon by the
board until the sixteenth of July. The
I delay was unavoidable because the
board was continuously engaged in
dealing with several wage matters af-
fecting classes of employees who had
not previously received consldera-
i ton. The board now having apprlsed
US of this inability at any rate for
the time being to agree upon recon-
mendation, it is clearly our duty to

administration was ready to take up
the question 'as soon as the employees
return to work" In a Ietterito B. NJ.
Jewell, acting president Of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, Mr..
Hines said:
'T enclose letter which have
tust received from the president rela-
tive to the wage matter. It is OBJ
vious that It is of the highest impor-
tance not only in the interest Of the
publicbu in the interest of the en-
ployes themselves that they shall i'm
medIately return to work. The situa-
ton having been clarified by the def
inIte indication that Congress does
not wish to take action in the prem
Uses the railroad administration stands
ready to take up the wage question
on its merits with the duly accredit-
ed international officers and their
authorized committee as soon as the
employees return to work"
The effect of the Presidents deci-
sion, It was believed, would be 10 put
a sudden end TO sporadic strikes
throughout the country, denounced as
Illegal hS union officials, but involy-
ing perhaps $4,000 men and to some
extent normal traffic. 1t was taken
for granted also that the menace of
a general strike to compel higher
wages to. meet increased living costs
likewise was removed by the presi-
dents action.
If Director General Hines orders
an increase in wages, since the rail-
road administration now Is operat-
ing at a loss ethel an advance in rat
es or a congressional appropriation
will be necessary to provide the mon
ey. The fourteen principal railroad
unions in a joint Communication to
the director-general, have suggested

WELL planned DAE
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
BY RUTH BAIRD
Home Economies Expert, U. S. Dc.
partment of Agriculture.

July and August are not the months
in which many enjoy the duties Of
housekeeping to the highest degree.
In fact, the more they can be mini
mized and still done well the better,
for then more time can be spent on
the extra work and play especially
brought by summertime.
Some days, work insists on going
backward in others, there actually
seems to be some force determined to
keep the housewife moving between
the living room and kitchen. If at the
end of such day, she should ask why
was there SO little accomplished, think
ing over the work done and finding
where lack of forethought doomed up
might answer the question.
Plan the Days Tasks.
In the evening when 1t is delight
fully cool and she is sitting on the
porch after a strenuous day, might 1t
not be wise to use half an hour to plan
what shall be done the next day?
Taking account in advance of the
number OF duties and the hours in the
day may furnish convincing evidence
that something must be postponed and
give the opportunity of choosing what
shall go undone rather than leaving
the decision to chance. Very lit!e
work is so important that 1t Is worth
firing the housewife completely, and
spelling her usually cheerful DISPOSE
