Jail for May Day
Rioters at ROxbury
Court Excoriates Bolshevism in
Sentencing Seven Women
and Three Men

BOSTON. May Three men and
seven women, including Martha II.
Foley, a suffragist, were found guilty
in the Roxbury municipal court to-day
of rioting and assault with a knife
upon Patrolman Samuel Hutchins dur
ing the May Day radical demonstration
and parade in the Roxbury district.
All but two were given Jail sentences
ranging from sixth months to year
and half, They gave notice that
they would appeal tomorrow and fur
nish bail for their appearance before
the Superior Court. Two defendants
were fined and nine were found not
guilty.
Sentence was imposed after Judge
Hayden had denounced radicalism and
Bolshevism and had expressed the
hope that the Legislature would enact
laws to check tho menace. Miss Foley,
who was sentenced to six months fer
rioting and one year in the House Of
Correction for assault, did not take ad-
vantage Of the suggestion by Judge
Hayden that he would be disposed 70
give her more lenient treatment if she
would repeat the oath of allegiance 20
the American flag and agree to terms

French bonds were 4 per cent bonds,
but they were sold at 7O.65, SO as to-
yield about $50 interest. But as
against this very considerable advan-
tage to the investor, think of the dis
crepancy in the population and wealth
of France and of the United States.
France had a population before the
war of about 40,000,000 Her national
wealth before the war was about $780,
ooo,ooo,o0o, or approximately 80 per
cent of the national wealth of the
United States. But one-twclfth of the
area of France, and that containing her
richest manufacturing and material
resources, had been overrun by the
enemy, and property worth many bill
IONS of dollars had been destroyed and
made reproductive.
More than 100000 of her men were
under the colors and about 100000 Of
her man power had given their lives
for France, and vet what were the
results? Bonds of the par value Of
more than $4,000, 100000 francs, upon
which the French government realized
about 24,ooo,ooO,ooo francs, or nearly
$4,000 100000, were taken by the thrifty
French citizens, who for years have
known that nothing is so safe as gov
ernment bonds, and who also have
learned to invest dollar for every
two dollars earned.
Shall we. with our tremendous
wealth, our casualties mere fraction
Of those suffered by our allies, fail in
the last duty Of the war? If we do.
what will be said Of us by our friends
in France? What will we say of our
selves when we contemplate the re-

War Department officials deprecated

however, does not contemplate issuing
general statement denouncing the
participation of soldiers in the riots

the service were guilty of acts that
might bring the service into disrepute

Hleness From Dry
La1u Not Alarming
Kirch,Uey Predicts Better
Labor Situation in This
City by the First of July

Claims of the Association Opposed to
National Prohibition that 100000 men
will be thrown out of work on july /
are causing no alarm at the United
States Employment Service. DR.. George
w. Kirchwey said yesterday that he
believed there would be less unem-
ployment next July than at present, be-
cause of the rapid return of industry
to more nearly normal basis.
"By July the revival of industry will
have gone so far as to reduce materi-
ally the present labor surplus" said
DR.. Kirchwey. From the point of view
of the unemployment situation, there
fore, the prospect does not seem to be
ing industry were to be discharged at
one time, they would make a consider
able addition to the unemployed AS
they are being discharged gradually
1T seems reasonable to suppose that
most of them will be able to find other
employment before next summer"
Using the figures of the anti-pro-
hibitonists, which are probably not
underestimated. Director Kirchwey an
alyzed the situation as it affects his
own district. About 10 per cent Of the
unemployed in the United States, he
estimated, were in New York State.
OF these about half are included in the
City of New York. Using the 100000
unemployed attributed to prohibition
by the "wets," there would be about
10000 out of work in New York State
and 10000 in New York City.
These figures are not alarming, DR..
kirchwey explained, because more than
10000 have been suddenly deprived of
work in this city by strikes of the
clothing trades In tho building trades

At present there is no prospect of

Heliun Gas Secret.
Discovered In Il. S.
McCill University Scientists
Work Out Invention That
Would Have Given Amer
lea Mastery of the Air

WASHINGTON. May 4-Great Britain
has the secret of helium gas, the dis
covery of an American, and up to this
time the exclusive property of the
United States government.
No charge is made that q Federal
British governments acquisition of the
non-combustible chemical, or that ii
was obtained by unfair methods. Sci
entists at McGill University, Montreal,
Canda, it was stated recently, simply
worked out" the process.
Perfected by Americans
The gas was discovered by
Washingtonian named Hilderbrand and
perfected by American scientists. II
was shipped to Europe in large guam
titles while the war was on. 1t is ab-
solutely non-inflanmable and was in
tended, had the war continued, to be
pumped into dirigibles, which would
then have been immune from explosion
even if hit by shell fire.
Sole possession of the gas would
have given the United States "the
mastery Of the air" and would have
revolutionized aerial warfare
1t is now being developed at spe-
cial works in Texas and has been
supplied to number of the new air
ships Of the British admiralty. These
are Zeppelin types and some of them
have flying or floating radius Of g.
900 miles. In construction many of
greatest dreadnoughts. Helium gas wae
relied upon by armp and navy authori-
ties here to provide the United States
with sufficient force tn back up both
Great Britain and France.
Re-discovcred by Canadians
1t is said that there was little
had been "re-discovered" at McGili
University, and that the new British
airships would be equipped for act
ual service with the invaluable gas.
The Canadian physicists, it is be-
lieved, renewed their search for a nom
infiammable gas when they realized the
potentialities Of heIium gas as a war
asset
Scientists here are unwilling to ad-
NIT that the British gas is. in all re-
spects, comparable to the American
gas, which is now being manufactured
secretly. They are certain, however,
that Great Britain has a non-combust-
ibiye gas and that it is helium.
The research incidental to the dis
covery of helium was conducted by the
Bureau of Mines here during the war
and also by special commission Of
experts named by the War and Navy
Departments. The gas is evolved from
certain kind of natural gas, which
was supposed to have been found only
in certain parts of Texas, Oklahoma a
and Kansas. 1t appears, now, how
ever. that sufficient quantities of the
natural gas required for the produc-
tion Of helium have also been located
