NO REPORT or
VIOLENCE RECEIVED
Nv WASHINGTON
Precautions. Taken Materially DAM
pened the Ardor of the Radicals
For Uprisings.

Washington, d. c., May Fore
warned by the department OF justice
those responsible for the maintenance
of order in every city and industrial
center were prepared to-day to act
at the first sign OF any disorder insti-
gated by radical elements. While re-
ports continued to arrive that commun
ist agitators still were doing all in
their power to arouse the workers to
a May day show of power early
to-day no instance of violence had come
from any source.
Assistant Attorney General Garyan
expressed the opinion that the pre-
cautions taken had materially dam
pened the ardor of the radical lead
ars. Special care had been taken to
safeguard the members of Congress,
the three federal judges and an at
iorney, known to the department of
justice to have been selected by the
igitators for assassination.
Mr.. Garyan announced an amazing
imotnt of money had been spent by
the communist labor party in the dis
.tibution of propaganda and in prep
stions for demonstration. The mon.
tf had been traced, he asserted, TO
amsterdam, where it has been sent
fpm, Russia. A great part of the lit
esture in the possession of the de-
plrtment indicated the work OF Rus
San agents and numerous calls for
demonstrations we're made in the name
Of soviet Russia.

Won Deciding Tournament and the
Chance for a Feast.

The lIth pool. billiard and cribbsge
tournament played between the teams
Of the Barre and Montpelier councils
of the Knights Of Columbus in the
Montpelier club room last night was
won by Barre council. No. 40l. and
thereby decided the championship for
the winter series.
These councils. as customary, ar
ranged early last winter to meet 10
successive weeks in the specified games,
the forfeit OF the defeated to be a ban
quet served to all contestants at the
expense Of the council losing. The 10
tournaments were played. with the re-
suit that each council had the same
number Of points to its credit for the
season. and for this reason the cham,
pionship had to be decided by an extra
game. Only the most skilled players
OF both councils figured in the contest,
which was thrilling to the interested
members from start-to finish.
The card games ended first, each side
having won three points, so the deci-
sion rested with the pool players, since
the billiard games had been played dur
ing the earlier part of the evening. and
they too had given neither council an
advantageous point. The break came in
pool. when John Downs won the second
and deciding game Of pool. The Playing
OF J. Weafer against A. Daley OF Mont
pelisr was spectacular. the former play
ing an excellent game.
