| pected radicals. F'orty-two. including
three women. We're indicted as or
ganizers of the communist labor party,
but sixteen never have been appre-
hended. Several are reported to have
| tied to Mexico and Europe. One, John
Reed, Harvard graduate magazine
writer. author and first boshevik envoy
| to the United States, is now in Jail at
| Abo. Finland. according to State De-
partment reports, accused of smuggling

PENDANTS are American citizens charged
with conspiracy.
The outstanding figure of the grour
which faced Judge Oscar Hebel in
criminal court this morning is vii
liam Bross Lloyd, millionaire SER
geant at arms of the communist labor
convention. Lloyd. who is the son of
the late Henry u. Lloyd, said to have
been rich Boston philanthropist. is
close friend of William d. Chg Bid

the 7 w Nv haa1 nf ha 7
w. w. national defense committee
Haywood is under sentence of twenty
years in Leavenworth penitentiary.
but is at liberty under bond furnished
by Lloyd. pending an appeal, which
will be heard next Monday in federal
! court here.
Lloyd also furnished $4,000 bond
for Haywood when the I. w. W. leader
was arrested in the January round
up and indicted by the state.
Trial May Last Three Months.
States attorneys are prepared tG
submit samples from tons of pamph
lets, books and records seized in raids
on the radical headquarters here to
support the charge of conspiracy. The
trial. they estimate. will last three
months. Selection of a jury alone is
expected to take from four to six
weeks and exhaust venire OF 1.4Oo
men, as each side Will have approx
mately 800 challenges.
Among the state witnesses Will be
Ole Hanson, former mayor of Seattle
and an unnamed member of the Cen
trail executive committee" which at,
tempted to rule Winnipeg, Canada
during the general strike last year.
The defense is represented by
number Of leading lawyers. several o
whom have been identified with near
ly every prominent socialist or rad
cal trial in recent years. Among then
are Clarence barrow. Seymour Sted-
man and William A. Conner.

SHANGHAI, April. 10 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-
Szechuen, most populous of China's
provinces, with extensive and varied
resources and almost unlimited areas
of soil of the greatest productivity, is
bandit-ridden and is torn with the
strife of five opposing governing FAC
tions that seemingly are beyond the
control of the Canton government, to
which Szechuen is supposed to pay
allegiance. This is the report brought
to Shanghai by foreigners who have
recently been travelling in the prov
ince.
The country along all the main
highways, according to these reports.
is overrun with bands of armed out
laws, and it is only possible for the
foreigners to travel these byways m
any degree of safety by first buying
protection and immunity from moles-
tation from bandit leaders who con-
troll the various areas.
When the traveller asks Tor an
armed. guard this is provided-for
This guard must pc
changed when the traveller enters the
area controlled by another military
official.

trio Company today was given au-
thority by the Public Utilities Com
mission to operate three one-man cars
From Mount Pleasant to Potomac

Potomac Park. Passengers leaving
Sotomac Park on Washington Rail-
way and Electric cars, who get a first

Boomer the Nighthawk.
Boomer the Nighthawk,. who isn't
Hawk at all, nor even related to the
Hawk family, is one of those little
people who prefer to sleep the greater
part OF the day. Late in the after
noon just before jolly. round. red Mr..
Sun makes ready to go to bed behind
the Purple Hills and the Black Shad-
ows make ready to steal forth for the
night, Boomer starts out to hunt Tor
his dinner. And he keeps on hunting
or just flying about for pleasure long
after the little stars have come out 10
twinkle all over the sky.
Boomer glories in his wings. he
catches all his food in the air. Tor ne
lives on flying insects. Sometimes ne
catches them just above the tops OF
the grasses. sometimes. close to the
tree tops, and sometimes high up in
the air He hunts both low and high,
swooping down. darting up. circling
this way, twisting that way-now

Swallow and Sooty the Chimney Swift,
who fly by day, appear to get so much
fun out Of just flying.
Now. being in the air at dusk when

Meadows and the Green Forest. VINO

in search of food or adventure, Boom
er. sees many things going on and
learns many secrets. He could, ii he
would tell what has become Of many
little folks who have disappeared
mysteriously.
: 1t happened that this particular
evening Boomer was abroad a little
earlier than usual, and took it into
his head to fly over the Old Pasture.
There he found the hunting good, and
in a very little while he had filled
his stomach. He was just trying to
decide whether to fly over to the Old
Orchard or back to the Green Forest
!. when he saw Reddy Fox leave his
home and start OFF with the air of
going to some particular place. 81
wonder what the relocated scamp is
planning to do now?" thought Boom
.er. II believe III keep an eye on him
and see what mischief he is up to-"
So Boomer circled high in the air,
. and from away up there it was easy
'to watch Reddy and not appear to be
doing so at all. Boomer simply
. wheeled and turned and darted this
way and that as is his way, and if
Reddy Fox saw him, which is doubt
full, he didn't give him so much as a
thought.
, Reddy trotted straight down to the
F. Green Meadows. Once he raised up
. on his hind feet to look over the tall
grass toward the dear Old Briar-
patch. There was no sign Of life
over there, for it was still early.
Then he made straight for a certain
big patch Of sweet clover some dis

So Boomer flew this way and that
way over the Green Meadows, but
, high in the air and always where he
could keep Reddy Fox in sight. The
Black Shadows began to steal out
across the Green Meadows and the
light to fade. Boomer few lower so
as to keep Reddy in sight. For long

grass. Once Boomer swooped low and
