To Start l5-Year Term
Molly Steiner To Be Guest in
Tombs Before Going to
Missouri Prison

Molly Steiner, twenty vear-old
radical, was released yesterday from
Blackwell's Island, where She has
been serving a six months sentence
for distributing anarchistic literature
She was taken to the Tombs prison.
where she will stay until Saturday as
a guest of the United States Marshal
On Saturday she will start for JEFF
ferson City. Mo-, where she will begin
fifteen-year sentence in the womer S
pcnitentiary for violation of the es-
pionage act.
Judge Clayton, in the United States
District Court, sentenced Molly to her
term in jefferson City on October 25,
1918. 1t was while she was out on
bail that she was arrested again and
sent to Blackwell's Island by Magis-
trate Simpson. While serving the six
months sentence her initial conviction
was appealed, but the United States
Supreme Court affirmed the decision
OF Judge Clayton.
Last week an appeal was made in
her behalf to United States Judge
Knox for stay of sentence to permit
her to visit her relatives. The appeal
was denied. Judge Knox said her
conduct had been such while on Black
wells Island that it gave no expecta
tion or hope that she would be any
better if released. He said Marshal
Mccarthy would see to it that she was
permitted to see her parents and rela-

French to Meet Germans
In Discussion of Issues

PARIS, April 2s-Premier Millerand
made a declaration to the Senate to-
day regarding the results Of the San
Reno sessions of the Supreme Council
of the Allies. 1t was identical with the
one he made in the Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday.
The Premier added however, that a
new point had arisen to-day, when the
German government, through it's rep
resentative here, proposed to the
French government meeting of ey-
perts of Germany and France for the
exchange of views to clear up all ques-
tions at issue concerning transactions
between the two countries. M. Mil
lerand said he had accepted the pro-
posal and the French representatives
would be chosen in the near future. He
expressed the wish that the conference
would quickly have fruitful results.
Amid great applause Leon Bourgeois,
president of the Senate, thanked the
Premier in the name of that body for
his firm, loyal declarations.

T,co Spanish Provinces
Put Under Military La,u

MADRID, April 29.-Martial law has
been proclaimed throughout the Prov
ince of Ovieda, according to official an
nouncement, as a precaution against
possible May Day disturbances on Sat-
urday.
Declaration of a state of siege in
Saragossa is reported, the result Of un-
rest among miners. The general strike
called in Saragossa several days ago
has spread throughout the province.
Almost Immediately after the declar-
alton of the state Of siege the civil
Governor transferred his powers to
the military authorities. Armed forces
will be distributed among the mining
centers.
Dispatches say that the trade union
lists are determined not to return to
work until the director of their com
mittee is released from prison. The
strike movement has spread to villages
in the neighborhood Of Saragossa.
Disturbances arising from the short

Germans Hold Up Note;
French tn OMIT Frankfort

PARIS, April 29.--1t is understood
that DR.. Goerpert, head of the German
mission in Paris, who called on Premier
Millerend yesterday afternoon, intended
to hand the Premier a note requesting
evacuation of Frankfort by the French
troops. in view of the fact that the Ger
man forces in the neutral zone had been
reduced to the 1900 men permitted in
the area by the agreement of August,
1919.
M. Milerand, however, explained that
the Allies preferred to stand by the
original agreement that the troops be
counted by units. He called attention
to the fact that the number of units
IN the neutral zone still exceeded the
number allowed, and said the French
evacuation depended upon veriication
Of German evacuation to the number Of
units agreed upon. Thereupon DR.. Goep-
pert decided not to hand the note to M
Milleraud.

France Wins Immunity Fight
Consideration of Question of
Suspension Is Postponed

PARIS, April 29.-The government
won its point in the Chamber of Der

mined effort on the part of the rcac-
tionary Royalist section of the Cham.
ber to secure consideration of the
question of the suspension of immunity
of Deputy Vaillant-Couturier, United
Socialist, so that he might be prose-
cuted for the article he published in
the newspaper lie Populaire" on April
90. This article was addressed to the
1920 class Of recruits and was consid-
cred by objectors to the article as an
effort to incite the troops to disobe-
dience.
The government opposition to taking
up the question of immunity to-day was
upon the ground that the new taxa

The long standing controversy be-
tween the city officials and the Board
of Education broke out again ycster-
day at the meeting of the Board of Es-
innate, with Comptroller Charles l..
Craig and Aiming S. Pral as the com
batants. Mr.. Pral! applied for added
storage facilities for the Board of Ed
ucation and the Comptroller accused
the educational officials Of waste and
neglect.
Mr.. Prall explained that a report
from Frank D. Wilsey, vice president
of the Board of Education. showed that
the leases on two buildings, now used
and the other on July /. The Comp
troller asked him if he did not know
that the lease of one of these buildings
had been renewed for five years Mr.
Prall replied that he did not and re-
lied on Mr.. Wilsey's report.
II don't see why your department
has to have so much room for storage "
said the Comptroller, as he read over
the list of buildings now used for that
purpose. Don't you know that there
are 116 different 1irst readers used by

am informed that books no longer in
use, whether they are new or not, are

Mr.. Prall said that. he was not &C
quainted with the fact, and he thought
the Comptroller should report it to the
Board of Education, together with the
name of his informant The Comp
sroller replied that he didn't have to
report anything to the Board of Edu-
cation and that the boards members
should know about it themselves.
The request was referred back to the
Board of Education to give Mr.. Prall
an opportunity to look into the matter

Coincident with May Day demon

is that the additional 81 a week in
