and Son of Bank Official, Is Arrest
ed-A Second Bullet Glanced
Off Victims Watch Chain.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.-Germany's militar-
lists and nationals came within an
inch of celebrating their first great
triumph since the armiStiee. An aris-
tocratic woufd-be assassin who had
posted nimself near the criminal courts
building. fired three shots at Finance
Minister DIR. Matthias Erzberger as the
latter was coming out, homeward
bound, after hearing in his libel suit
against D. Karl HeIfferich. Only one
bullet struck Erzberger, slightly
wounding him in the shoulder. The
assailant, who gave his name as O..
Won Hirschfeldt, was arrested.
Herschfeldt is a former cadet Off

motorcar, which was waiting to take
him home, and drove off at full speed.
While the finance minister is not

The Importance of the issue in

defendants and the imposing array of
legal talent presaged one of the most
notable cases in the legal annals of
the state.
OF the 135 men indicted by the fed

owing to illness, and another upon

Means Are to Be Used to Set
Up Dictatorship.

Albany, N. u, Jan. 2S.-Counsel for
the assembly judiciary committee in
investigating charges of disloyalty
against the five suspended Socialist
assemblymen indicated at their trial
the line of its attack.
After reading into the records a
clause from the national constitution
Of the Socialist party providing for
expulsion from the party of members
voting to appropriate funds for mill
tary or naval purposes. John B.
Stanchfield, committee attorney, re-
ferred to the oaths of office taken by
the five assemblymen and then read
from the New York state constitution
an article specifying that it shall be
the duty of the legislature to provide
funds for maintenance of the militia.
Proponents of "the dictatorship of
the proletariat" hold that the first step
must be the seizure of the government
by any means possible and taking over
of industry by force, according to
pamphlet read at the trial.
The pamphlet, published by the jew
ish Socialist federation of New York,
was translated from the Hebrew by
Charles NJ. Robinton, a department of
justice operative serving the joint leg
islative committee investigating radi-
calism, who was recalled to the stand.
PurpOrting to give views of both
proponents and opponents, the PAM
phlet asserted the former held prep

and "class dictatorship" Upon the
seizure of the industries, they would
be run by workingmen's soviets, ac-

Washington, Jan. 2S.-POlitical OBJ

military training was predicted in the
house by Representative MOndell of
Wyoming, the Republican leader. The
initial cost of the plan would be ST.

ditiOnal bond issue.
''Men cannot be trained for a mere
pittance," he continued. "It costs ST.
600 for six months training for every
man in the regular system. This
amount would be exceeded for men
undergoing their first training, because
of additional clothing and other equip
ment costs. We would also need So
900 additional officers. Three hun
bred million dollars would be neces-
sary to put camps and environments in
condition and $6OO00,O00 is required
for their maintenance each year"

SIGNALS FROM PLANETS

London, Jan. 28.-Interruptions Of
mysterious undecipherable signals,
which were noted before the war and
have been publicly referred to since,
are specially featured In the Daily
Mail and discussed by Guglielmo Mar
conf in an interview published by the
newspaper.
"We occasionally get very queer
sounds and indications, which might
come from somewhere outside the
EARTH" said Signor Marconi. 1--WE have
had them both in England and Amer
lea. The Morse signal letters occur
with much greater frequency than 9TH
eTs, but we have never picked up any
thing that could be translated into a
definite message.
''The fact that the signals have oc-
Cured simultaneously at New York
and London with identical intensity
seems to indicate that they must have
originated at very great distance.
eve have not yet the slightest
pTOol VI lHSlT origin. 1Hey might
conceivably be due to some natural
disturbance at a great distance-for
instance, an eruption of the sun, caus-
ing electrical disturbances"
Asked whether possibly attempts
were being made by another planet
to communicate, Signor Marconi said !:
81 would not rule out the possibility
of this, but there is no proof. We
must investigate the matter much
more thoroughly before we venture
upon a definite explanation"
He added that the mysterious
sounds were not confined to any par
ticular diurnal period; they were
equally frequent by day and night.
