Bomb Explosion at Law
renee Early This Morning
No One Hurt
POLICEMEN HAVE
TO CALL RESERVES
Shots Fired in Direction Of Strikers
Answered by Shots at Oficers-Much
Damage Done in Mill Section-Pick-
cts More Active Than Usual.

LAWRENCE, Mass, April Riot
ing accompanied by promiscuous fire
ing both on the part of strike sympa-
thizers and police marked the opening
of the tenth week of the textile strike
here today The outbreak occurred in
the vicinity of the Everett. Mills short
ly before Z o'clock, a few hours after
the city had been stirred by the explo-
sion of bomb in tenement house in
the same neighborhoed. No one was
wounded by the shooting. Several riot
ers and a number of police officers were
injured by sticks, stones, and clubs.
The rioting started when a few SYM
pathizers began throwing stones at mill
windows and then shifted their attack
to policemen who sought to quiet them.
The crowd grew rapidly and the little
squad of officers called for reserves.
City Marshal O'Brien responded with
a large force and read the riot act.
Finding their clubs ineffective, the po-
lice drew revolvers and their shots were
answered by others from the crowds.
Men and women appeared at windows
with missiles and the police were OBJ
liged to send shots in their direction
The rioting occurred at Common and
Newbury streets where there are many
tenements Windows in a number OF
houses were broken and there was much
damage at the Everett mill.
The bomb explosion occurred before
daylight in the house at Al Newbuly
street The rear door and porch of the
tenement were destroyed and the cellar
wall torn open. Although a score oi
more of persons were in the house at
tending a wake for Daniel Garvey, nc
one was injured. Several persons il
nearby homes were thrown from theii
beds. Police officers who investigated
the affair expressed the belief that th'
bomb was intended for an adjoining
house, occupied by mill workers. Twen
ty.seven arrests were made. One maj
had $1,000 and a 800 Liberty bond OF
his person.
Women and children were active ol
the picket line during the morning. II
the mill districts women with rocks il
their hands prevented children from go
ing to school.

the end Of the final period Of grace.
Matthias Erzberger is, indeed, quoted
to this effect. And Erzberser has been
exceptionally we'll posted on the Ger
man governments program and poll
cies. Not even NoGic's recent adjura-
ton to certain military commanders
in Germany to be on their guard
against eventualities is to be accepted
as an indication Of fixed purpose to
reject the treaty, with the alternative
Of a war.
In fact, all of the maneuvers of the
German government and delegates at
Versailles have been calculated to the
end of signature under protest, for the
purpose not Of securing modification
of the terms so much as to impress
the German people. 1t has, of course,
been hoped by Germany possibly to
cause discord among the allies, in
keeping with the traditional Teutonic
policy. At times that purpose has seem
ed possible of accomplishment. But bet
ter counsel has prevailed at Paris. The
German scheming has been too obvious,
too flagrantly plain to be effective.
There is no reason now to doubt the
presentation of a united front next
Friday, when the allied reply will be
presented.

Berger.

Victor Berger, Wisconsin's convicted
seditionist, improves the period Of
grace pending the result of his appeal
from the twenty-year sentence by
Judge lands by proving to every
American worthy Of the name the mod
Grafton Of the punishment for his past
indiscretions. It may be that, from
a legal point Of view, there is no war
rant for an extension of the term he
is to serve in his latest utterance, but
it will quite certainly strengthen the
general conviction that twenty years.
grace from similar expressions is none
too many.
So it may be that the police pro-
lection accorded to the meeting of the
socialist party Of New York, held yes
terday in Madison Square Garden, was
a piece Of wise civic policy. The like
lihood Of Berger's ability to convince
any one, save an audience already tint
ed, Of the sanity Of his protested be-
licfs is remote one. The mental
nausea brought on by hearing the
ideals for which American boys fought
and died in France deprecated and
derided, by witnessing radical social
ism voluntarily disclose the fostering
sores Of anarchism upon it's body is,
on the other hand, sure though tenn
porarily unpleasant means to a happy
end, cleaning the minds and hearts Of
all Of such impurities as passive toll
Grafton of radicalism, stirring the gen.
eral public to an energetic reaction in
the form Of healthy appetite for genu-
inc Americanism.

District Bill in the Senate.

The District appropriation bill now
reaches the Senate, for early action,
to provide for the maintenance of the
National Capital during the next fiscal
year. 1t is in virtually the same form
as that in which it passed the House
at the last session, with but a small
provision for the local needs, based
upon the wartime estimates, slightly
enlarged by supplementary figures
submitted by the Commissioners in
haste to conform to the wishes of the
House for prompt action.
Two expectations are held as regards
the Senate's action on the bill, that
it will restore the half and-half pro-
vision to make the bill conform to the
principles of the organic act, and that
it will add literally to the House fig
ures for District maintenance and de
selopment, bringing the bill as nearly
as possible to the peace-time standard
that changed circumstances demand.
There are numerous items requiring
q larger appropriation than the House
bill provides, and in addition are new
items of obvious and urgent need. For
these a large sum, several million dol
lars, should be added to the bill and
should be finally appropriated in addi-
ton to the House budget. The esti-
mates upon which the House bill was
based were curtailed by direction be-
cause when framed there was a pros
pect Of continued war and consequent
ly continued necessity for economy.
Now that necessity has in large meas
ure disappeared. But the Commission
ers have not been enabled to present
new plan of expenditures, save in
very few items of urgent and unmis-
taxable need. 1t is for the Senate
committee and the Senate in concur
renee to, develop the bill to a peace
time scale, to meet the Districts needs
in fun as far as possible, to cover as
tar as may be the arrears of two years
Of wartime estimating.
A. for the half-and-half provision,
It's restoration by the Senate and its
insistence upon by that body in con-
ference and its eventual acceptance
BY the House is in the light Of the rec
ord to be regarded as assured. There
is no new condition to justify repeal
by indirection, by means Of appro-
priAtion act rider. The situation is pre-
ciSely the same as it was last winter
when the Senate refused to consent to
such repeal and held firmly to that
view even to the end of the bills fail

Friday the 18th!

According to the latest word from
Paris the reply of the allied council
20 the German counter proposals will
not be delivered before Friday next
Friday, the 13thl Then the enemy
delegation will be given five days in
which to reply finally to the peace pro-
posal, with the alternative of accept
ing or rejecting the treaty. If this
schedule is carried through the treaty
will be either signed or rejected def
nitsly by the 18th, giving the Presi-
dent sufficient time to reach the United
States before the expiration of the
fiscal year, with opportunity to sign
the measures passed by Congress in
provision for the maintenance of the
government.
There is not, however, as much in
tefest in the Presidents program in
connection with the peace treaty as
in the dealings with the Germans. Be-
tween now and Friday there will be
doubtless renewed speculation as to
tho nature of the reply of the allied
council. Will it yield in any material
degree to the German protestations
Of inability to comply with the exac-
tions proposedf Will it yield on any

cation at present on either ground

the government are we'll acquainted
with eertain eenters Of anarchistic agi-
&Ation. The names Of hundreds of
indictments and preachers Of radical
ism are kept ON roll at the Depart
ment Of Justice and doubtless at Its
secret service branches throughout The
country. OF course, 1t is not desirable
that every person who belongs to an
organization that favors radical meth
DDS should be arrested and tried. Mem
bership in such body does not nee
essarily signify eriminality. The eoun-
try does not want persecution.
If the reds are immune through the
superiority of their methods over those
of the police the country is, indeed, in
danger Of a degree Of terrorism that
may at any time take heavy toll In
life and property. It Is hardly to be
credited, however, that few hundred
terrorists can defy and defeat the pro-
tective measures Of the government.
With knowledge Of the personnel of
organizations that are known to aim at
a change of social organization it
should be possible to catch some Of
these plotters in circumstances to lead
to their assured conviction and punish
ment. A very few executions in cir
cumstances leaving no doubt of guilt
will have a most wholesome effect in
encouragement Of a propaganda that
is thus far promoted with little him
drance and is becoming holder with
every effort.

Mr.. Taft and the League.

Mr.. Taft's latest speaking tour in
behalf of the league of nations lasted
three weeks. He has just returned, and
gives the opinion that the people are
strongly in favor of the league, and
makes the prediction that the Senate
will ratify the peace treaty. It is I'M
derstood, however, that he will con-
tinue his appeals, and abate none Of
his interest until the subject has been
disposed of.
Mr.. Taft's audiences have been large.
His personal popularity is consider
able, and extends over the country.
Besides, his topic is very much alive.
The people are giving attention to a
matter which has quickened their
pulses. They are keen for every word
coming from those with definite opin-
ions and the courage Of them.
And there is another point. AL
though not the only republican sup
porting the league, Mr.. Taft is prob
ably the most active and conspicuous
one Of the number. He early gave
his Endorsement to the proposition. He
had declared himself before the Presi-
dent returned from France in Febru-
airy. He appeared in public with the
President and spoke for the league on
the eve Of the Presidents return to
France. And since then he has spoken
often, and covered wide territory.
Mr.. Taft's report and others like it
are not, however, lulling, and not in
tended to 1ull, the friends Of the
league into repose. It is remembered
that accurate appraisements Of public
sentiment are not easily made from
the size and excitement of large
crowds. Candidates for office are otter
warned about the difference that some
times shows between the eofdiality of
their receptions during campaign, and
the chill of the vote on election day.
For this reason the canvass for the
league will continue. It seems not to
be decided yet whether the President
himself will or will not participate
upon his return. Something, it is I'M
derstood, will depend on the situation
at that time. If the outlook is not en-
tirely to the liking Of his friends, he
may make a limited tour, and at i'm
portant points explain what may not
be clear, and on that account may be
unacceptable.
Such tour by the President would,
of course, exceed in interest all tours
made by others, whether for Of against
the league. His position, his power as
q speaker, and his superior knowledge
of all the details entering into the
subject, would arouse the widest and
deepest interest in every locality Wis.
tied, and insure him halls full or
acres full Of hearers, all anxious for
his message. And should Mr.. Taft &C.
company him it would be in every way
a notable tour indeed.
