HIGH UP ON
u. S. LINKED
TO MURDER
Secret Service Man Be
lieved Slain to Save
Fleet Officials.

Seattle, July 13.-Federal in
vestigation into the mysterious
circumstances attending the
death in this city on May 2 of
F. A. Dowsey, a government
service agent, is narrowing down
to a point where arrests may be
expected at any time, according
to government officials.
Behind the federal probe into
Dowsey's death, it is alleged,
lies a shipbuilding scandal impG-
eating certain Emergency Fleet
corporation officials and ship
builders with whom they were
friendly in frauds against the
government in which millions of
dollars were involved. The al
legged crime and gigantic fraud
are intricately linked up in the
investigation now in progress,
tho it is not believed that all of
those implicated in the ship
building fraud have full knowl-
edge Of Dowsey's death.
New records were found in
Seattle, today, by secret service
operatives, which, it is said, will
lead the government officers to
examine many new witnesses
closely in touch with those be-
lieved to be implicated in Dow
sey's death. Federal agents
made a trip to Olympia, today,
to examine certain papers in a
mysterious bungalow there.
Positive that his brother was
murdered, DR.. G.. H. Dowsey of
Great Neck, Long Island, has ar
ranged with a private detective
agency to join in the attempt to
solve the mystery of the govern
ment Investigators death.

Irish republic" appeal for aid and rec

was an open air meeting held at the Chi
cago National league baseball park.
where seats were taken and nearly all
available space occupied.

ing that lasted 81 minutes. A soldier In
Canadian uniform mounted the speak
er's stand and led the cheering. De
Valera spoke from stand which had
been erected in the center of the park.
The crowd WAS enthusiastic, but some
of the spectators INDUCED in kissing
when the names of President Wilson,

ALLIES To SELL
s. AM. INTERESTS
As j. s. LOAN PAY
Foreign Bankers Fatten
on Secret; Holders
Lose and | Howl.
By ]. n. CLAYTON

Chicago Tribune Cable C0pyr16nt.)
Paris, July 13.-French and British
interests in South America will pass into
American hands as part of the settle-
ment of the war debts OF these nations
to the United States government, ac-
cort.ing to the most reliable financial
sources here. Securities OF various
South American interests are being pur-
chased by the French and British govern
.ments to be turned over to the American
government.
Owing to the decline in value Of these
stocks during the war, shareholders are
selling far under par. Fixed sums have
been named for acceptance by the United
States. This viii enable the French and
British governments to save hundreds
of millions in their debts, but the action
is calling forth vigorous protests from
shareholders here. They point out that
their shares, which declined during the
war. rapidly will attain normal values
after ratification Of the treaty. Thus the
entire loss will be borne by private in
terests.
Pools Make Big Profits.
Bankers, however. aware of this ar
rangement, have purchased large pools Of
these stocks which they win sell at
NOMINAL Falue, tuuS ulHhihS uasc tmu
over. This immense deal has been car
ried out so that it will not infect the
stock market or exchange. Had it been
generally known, it would have caused
considerable unrest and great hucaua-
tons in all stocks.
The protest here is not confined to
shareholders who are pocketing the
losses. The business men in France and
England who see their financial control
passing to the United States are very
bitter toward the government action.
They point out the French and British
governments are selling their birthright
for mess of pottage.
American bankers and business men
here, on the other hand, are delighted
with the arrangements, which give the
United Safes much greater interest in
South American industries. They point
out this control of ports, railways and
factories means vastly increased COM
meroe with South American countries.
The bankers also say no government
securities, but only private interests are
involved in the deal.

HARVEST STRIKE
b0LSHEV|k PLOT
BERLIN BREADS
in Pomerania as
Start; Better Crops
Had Spread Hope.
By PARkE BROWN.

Berlin, July 8. via Paris, July 5.-One
dark shadow was cast over the crowds
which filled the streets of Berlin today,
trhe result OF a strike of employees of
NIL the local transportation lines. 1t was
the rumor that the bolshevist agents,
foiled SO far in their plot to call gen
eral strike in Germany. were now concen-
trating on an effort almost as terrify-
ing
Reports coming from several sections
state that there Is a plot to bring about
q general strike of farm labor when new
crops are being gathered-an attempt
to cause q hunger panic which would
result in counter revolution.
Such strike is now called In POM
erania for July II. Letters say that
the scheme contemplated smaller dem
onstrations In other districts on approx
imately the same day.
Better Crops Gave Hope.
The news that the crops promised
to be better than those Of last year was
the basis OF much relief. but the new
rumor threatened to reduce the internal
food production far below the point
reached at any time during the war 80
long as America and other countries
could not feed the starving populations.
The transportation strike has not brot
any evidence of violence so far. but in
creasinglys wide -credence is given to- re-
ports that bolshevist agents are respon-
sible for creating situation that leans
to the belief that it win not be long
before the improvised busses that are
now carrying thousands and the eleven
big cross-country trains that are run
ming under military protection win be
attacked.
Significant Arrests.
The significant arrest OF Karl Emonto,
which today almost precipitated the long
threatened strike Of bank employees, brot
the statement from the government that
he was arrested not for any part in the
bank situation, but for bolshevism and
making propaganda, tours thruout Ger
many.
Other spartacans, including Hereforth.
leader of the communist party, were ar
rested and held incommunicado, and
these facts are taken to corroborate to
some extent the previously discredited
story that the Austrian bolsheviki broe
money sufficient to finance the striking
railway, subway and street car employees.
Some of the same money is said to
have gone to finance the uprising in
Hamburg. which the government reports
under control Of General Leteow Vor-
beck. Noske has tight hold of the sit
uation and sentries are ready to throw
barbed wire cnttanglements around the
public buildings. Army trucks bearing
eight, ten and even a dozen machine
guns move constantly, and others. man
ned and equipped, are held within strik-
ing distance OF the danger spots.
