BIGAMy CHARGE IS
 LODGED IN CASt:
 OF MAJOR KE:iFFE:R
Latest Warrant in Divorce Tangie Comes From
 Benton

third warrant for the arrest of Phillip J. Kieffer, formerly a major in the army and for some time ad- jutant at Camp Pike, was issued yes terday by a justice of the peace at Benton in Saline County. It charges Kieffer with bigamy and will be serv- ed on him when he appears Satur- day for hearing before Municipal Judge Wood on charges of perjury and uttering forged instrument.
 All three charges are the out growth of Kieffer's divorce from Mrs. Beatrice Kieffer, now a resident of New York, which he obtained here on March 27. It is charged that Kieffer perjured himself in stating that he had been resident of Jeff ferson county for the length of time necessary to establish his right to bring suit here. It is alleged that he was guilty of uttering forged instrument when he permitted to be presented at the divorce hearing q power of attorney purporting to come from Mrs. Kieffer but which she says she never granted. It was on this power of attorney that the divorce was granted uncontested.
 Immediately after obtaining his divorce here Kieffer went to Benton where he married Miss Ruth All bright, Little Rock stock actress. Hence the charge of bigamy from Benton county. \Kieffer must make bond of $1,000 on the latest charge. He already is out on $2,50O bond on the perjury charge.

NEW RAILWAY BOARD TO TAKE ACTION 0N
 THE STRIKE TODAY
Confirmed by Senate, Mem- bers are Immediately
 Summoned
CRITICISM OF WILSON'S
 SELECTIONS IS RIFE
Palmer Declares Department of Jus- tice Will Not Relax It's Ef- forts Against Members of
 the I. w. w. n

! Washington, April 15.-Member. of the railway labor board, whose nominations were confirmed today by the senate, were called tonight by President Wilson to meet tomorrow and organize. Some of them are already in the city and provision has been made for their assembly at at Headquarters of the railway ad- ministration.
 The presidents call was issued as word of the senate's action reached him. Administration officials have felt that the board would prove an effective agency toward ending the outlaw strike of railway men,
 The senate apparently shared that view. While sharp criticism of some of the nominations is known to have been expressed again today, fi- nal action was taken in an unusual ly brief time, considering the inn portance of this new government agency and of the immediate task that faces it.
 Critics of other nominees did not press their opposition after the vote on Judge Hanger. Standing and viva voce were taken on the other nominees, with some opposition in several cases.
 Further criticism of President Will son for his selection was said again to have marked the debate, both democrats and republicans taking part in it. The general basis of complaints was the alleged lack of prominence of. all of the appointees.
 Test of Strength.
 The charge also was said to have been made that all nine of the nom- inees were democrats, but that was challenged from the democratic side. in view of this criticism, however, republican senators gave notice that in future legislation creating such boards, Iley would insist upon pro- vision limiting the number of ap- pointments to be made from single party.
 The action of the senate in con- firming the members of the labor board will permit an early test of eration Sof railroad labor's wage de- mands would ease the strike situa- tion and work generally to alleviate unrest in that class of workers.
 Attorney General Palmer sad to- day he believed the choatic condi- tion created by the walkout was inn proving, but he declared that the de- partment of justice was not relaxing it's efforts in any direction. United States district attorneys in every strike area have made local arrests of agitators and strikers, but these, it was said, were cases where specif- ic law violation save occurred. Mr. Palmer declared such matters were not for headquarters considera- tion." reiterating that the govern ment expected the district attorneys to act on their own initiative with respect to prosecution of violators of laws.

Foster Enters Denial.

Pittsburgh, Pa., April 15-W. z. Foster, former head of the steel strike and mentioned in Washington yesterday as the prime mover behind the outlaw railroad strike, today de- clared that he knew nothing what ever about the railroad situation. and charged that Attorney General Palmer was "making bid for the support of big business in his cam paipn for president"
 "I wish to state mphatically." said Foster, who gave out his statement at the offices of the committee for the organization of the steel strike, "that the author of the statements intended to indicate that I am in any way connected with the present rail- road strike is deliberate falseifier This goes for high officials or low. The fact is that have nothing what soever to do with it in any shape or form. have not written to any of the strikers, spoken to them or to their meetings.
 In fact to the best of my knowledge I have not seen striker. have been so busy on my book about the steel strike that l have hardly stirred from the house for weeks. I have not even seen railroad since the strike began. Nor do I know anything of the issues involved, save what I see in the papers, and, of course, pay no attention to that.
 "Mr. Palmer is using the depart ment of justice to break strikes, and one story is as goo das another for his purpose. I know that he and the others are waving the red flag every time a body of workers goes on strike and are doing more to ere ate unrest and to produce radicals than any other force in the country. MT. Palmer is making bid for the support of big business in his cam paign for president"

Attitude Towards Deportation of Radicals is
 Cause

Washington, April 15.-Action witt a view to the Impeachment of As sistant Secretafy Post of the labol i department for his attitude toward | the deportation of radicals is pro- vided in a resolution introduced in the house today by Representative 1 Hoch of Kansas, and refe1Yed to i the rules committee for decision as to whether it should be made a special order of business before the house.
 Early action on the resolution was predicted by leaders. The light on Post has been smouldering in con- gress. some time. Chairman John son of the immigration committee, addressing the house last Monday charged that Post had agreed to re- duce the bail of an alleged anarchist, Paul Bosco, from $10,000 to $1,000 and had permitted the transfer of the, prisoner from New Orleans to New York at government expense When convicted as an anarchist at Morgantown, W. Va. Bosco, accord ing to Johnson, stood up in crowd ed court room and expressed the hope that when released he would find the stars and stripes supplant- ed by the red flag.
 MT Johnson declared his commit tee had found the benefit of the doubt always was given by the de- partment of labor to the alien, and that while members of congress found difficulty in obtaining copies of official papers, counsel for alien got them with ease.
 Representative Davev, democrat of Ohio. yesterday acused MT. Post of blocking Attorney General Palmer in the effort of the department of Jus tice to rid the country of alien reds.
 After conferences with the repub- lican steering Committee members and others, Mr. Hoch decided to let the resolution follow the regular house routine and it was introduced and referred to the rules committee. Some doubt had been expressed as to whether the form of the resolution would permit it's immediate consid- eration bv the house as he had plan ned to ask.
