From Hull House, Sought
BY Detectives.

the Roumanian woman was an fnsep-
arabic companion of Miss de Kay dur
ing the voyage, the band may have
been misled into believing Miss de
KAY, instead of Miss Salter, was
owner of the pictures and knew OF
their hiding place.
1t became known today that after
Miss de Kay disappeared Miss Salter
came to the Hull House from New
York and offered to aid in the search
for the missing girl. Miss Saiter re
turned to New York Tuesday night,
January 6. At the time nothing was
said of her visit by Miss Adams, OF
the Hull House.
There was another theory-a bolder
one. 1t was that Miss de Kay had
brought international secrets to
America. The elder de Kay, 1t was
said. was In official disfavor in
France, England and the United
states. His life In Mexico was re-
called and IT developed during the
war he had made numerous voyages
from America to foreign countries.
When America entered the war he
took UP his residence in Switzerland.
1t was pointed out by those who
connected the heiress with part
innocent, perhaps-in international
intrigue that she was n girl OF spirit
daring and frequently expressed a
desire to do something btg-some-
thing worth while in the world"
Father Is wealthy.
Under the Diaz administration in
Mexico, John wesley de Kay estab-
lished great packing plant in Mex
leo ard grew wealthy. With the
overthrow of Diaz he fed the coun-
try. He favored the Madero faction,
for a time, but with the passing OF
Madero's regime he was not directly
connected with affairs of the southern
republic. 1t was charged, at times,
! that he was in Europe to secure arms
for a counter revolution in Mexico.
At the outbreak of the European
war, IL was said, shipment OF 200,-
900 arms intended for the Huerta ad-
ministration were diverted to Bel
gium.
That Miss de Kay may have been
captured by representatives OF for
eign government to wiring secrets
from her was believed possible In
some well informed circles today.
There was slight hope. that check.
ing up OF prisoners taken in recent
Chicago red" raids would restore
the girl to the Hull House. Govern
ment agents said there were some
prisoners still held in communicate
whose identity had not been fully
| established.
II would be some days, they said,
| before the work of Identifying all
| prisoners in custody would be com
| pleted. They said, however. that
none of the prisoners had given the
name OF De Kay when arrested.
Grave fear was entertained that

| foreign enemies of her father, she
had been put TO death after she was
made to reveal the Information

II men can be excluded from a leg

might also be excluded because of
their being Democrats and Repub-
licAns.
The people fear that the Govern
ment IL no longer machinery to min

Our Government is established upon
the principle that the will of the peo-
Pile should be freely expressed and
enacted by their duly elected repre-
sentatives in the Legislative bodies,
into law, and this law enforced by
the executive department.
During the war this principle has
been disregarded. Laws have origi-
mated with the Executive; have been
forced upon the legislative bodies
which have imposed them upon the
people, thus our Government has
practically subverted.
Corrective Legislation.
The common people are behind this
movement for corrective legislation
instead of repression, and j am in

by a mass OF letters from labor
unions indicating clearly the atti-

such repressive statutes. Labor fears

Opinion.

BERLIN. Jan. 11.-That Germany

opinion expressed today by Count Won

dor to the United States. who refused
the post as foreign secretary in the

Upon being asked II he expected
the allies to alter the treaty, Bern
storfr replied:

agreed revision of the Versailles

PASS SED|T|ON
B|LL,AMENDED
Senate Clips BurIeson's Power
Over Publications-House
to Trim Measure Also.

After adopting the amendment by
Senator Borah, the Senate yesterday
passed without a roll call the Sterl-
ing bill to punish acts OF sedition
and authorizing the closing OF the
mails against seditious publications.
The Borah amendment provides
that the Postmaster General shall
be prohibited from excluding any
publication from the mail until after
there shall have been a hearing in
a Federal or State court In the dis
trict in which the accused person
resides.
Amendment Was Forced.
Sterling accepted the amendment at
the advice or Senate leaders, who told
him they would not permit the bill
to ssps IL its original form we're re-
tained. Without the amendment. the
Postmaster General couMld have act
ed solely upon his own discretion. and
could have barred from the mails any
publication which. In his opinion,
sought to advocate the overthrow OF
the Government or change In the
existing Government.
Senator Borah declared that the
closing of the malls without a hear
ing to q person accused by the Post
master General would be a revolu-
tionary act and a violation OF the
rights guaranteed under the Consti-
tuition. He said that under the terms
af -. kl h. mi n stA al
might take action against a person
who advocated constitutional
amendment or the oustlng OF one .po-
litical party and the induction Of an
other.
To he Further "Toned Down"
Members of the House Judiciary
Committee assert that the Sterling
measure will undergo another course
OF "toning down" before II is re-
ported to the House.
The bill contains authority asked
by Attorney General Palmeh in his
fight against "reds" here. There was
no roll call and only one voice was
heard when the nays we're asked for.
The Senate voted down decisively
an amendment proposed by Senator
McKeller of Tennessee, to punish
those advocating peaceable as well as
violence revolution.
DenOunce N. Y. Legislature.
Several Senators during debate de-
nounced the refusal OF the New York
State legislature to seat five Social
ist members. Indirect criticism OF
the House, which was at that time
voting to refuse a seat to Victor
Berger, Milwaukee Socialist, was
made by Senator Thomas Of Colo
rado.

a year and q half by coalition OF
anu-Bolshevik groups In Russia

Outside OF Russia the world
agrees that Lenin's government is
wicked, and Bolshevism means
hideous cruelty. The outside world,
however, said the same OF the
French Revolution, and with cause,
for noble heads dropped rapidly
into the sawdust-filled basket un-
der the guillotine blade when the
revolution began. They executed
many mobiles and others, including
valuable scientists accused OF
crimes against the people. In

due process OF law, about as many
miserable creatures, for stealing
things worth five dollars and up.

which are stupidity and Intolerance.
S3olshevism and Bourbonism both
practice tyranny. the tyranny of the
majority over the minority. which re-
spects no law and disregards personal
rights. Both believe In the rule OF
force rather than In the rule OF rea-

revel in repression.

Before you get your ideal Rus
sian republic you are apt to see
ruling there some man, supreme
and dangerous to all Europe, as
was Napoleon when he seized
France. Revolution tires a nation,
exhausts its ideas, wears down its
enthusiasm, and makes the oppor-
tunity Of Napoleon.
In Russia, unnoticed, shouting in
the street with a crowd perhaps,
or holding himself sullenly aloof
like the young Corsican Bonaparte,
may be, now, the young man, mix
ture Of Mongolian and Slav, power
ful enough to seize and use ex-
hausted Russia. He will write an
interesting chapter of world his
tory, and that chapter may contain
unpleasant lines for some natl ~
that have been fighting Russia,
struggling to find herself.
In our civil war England, against
the North, anxious only about her
supply of cotton, looked to us the
picture OF brutal selflshness. Rus
sia sees in this country and in
European nations only brutal self
ishness, intent on forcing revolu-
tionary Russia to pay the debts OF
the Gar. II is well to understand
this, for II may be important later.
Wise England is worried now
about Russia's future power, and
hastened long ago, with British
foresight, to announce that her
soldiers had no business In Russia
and would be withdrawn. Well
England may worry, with Lenin's
victorious troops marching along
the West Coast OF the Caspian to-
ward Persia and the High Road to
India's hundreds Of millions OF dis
satisfied people.
