 RADICAL PLOT
 OF REBELLION
tBY United Press

Washington, April 30.-Secret serv- ice operatives and agents of the de partment of justice today were setting up strong barriers against the threat ened May Day outbreak of the radi- calls. Demonstrations in all cities of the country will be under the watchful eye of the scret service and plain clothes men working directly under At torney General Palmer, district at torneys and municipal police.
 General Palmer declared his belief today that many public officials had been marked for death, when the reds started their promised revolt on May l. Antonio Caminetta, commissioner general of immigration and unpopu- lar with the labor elements, is one of the federal officials said to have been marked by the reds. General Palm CT himself was the object of pro- posed attack, and congressman, sena- tors and other government officials were to be killed in the general up- rising.
 A definite policy to kill congress men and senators who have actively worked for legislation to curb radical activities, and government officials who have enforced this class of laws is seen in the method by which the reds were forming their plans.
 Disclosures made by the depart ment of justice recalled the almost tragic bomb plots from May l to May p last year, when various at tempts were made upon the lives of federal officials, General Palmer hay ing narrow escape from an explod- ing bomb in his Washington residence.

Washington, April 30.-Payment of bonus at the rate of S1.25 per day to veterans who spent more than 30 days in the military or naval service, apparently is the form of bonus lepis- lation which will be reported favora- ply by the Republican majority of the house ways and means committee. winch today was to finally approve the form of bill which will be recom- mended to the house as a whole. Paw ment of bonuses cannot be started however, until January 1921. when the sales tax, by which S1,50O,S50, ,0O0 will be collected in taxation, will go into effect.
 This part of the bill provides for the payment of cash bonus, one Of the four options which the Repub- l1can majority favors be left open to eX-servlce men as recommended by the American Legion. The majori- ty, 1t is said, intends to include the options in the measure as reported. the remaining three options being voca- tlonaI education. paid up insurance or loans for the purchase of farm or home property.
 Two Republican members of the committee have bolted on the report, and probably will vote with the Demo- crats; who oppose the majority. Their switch will leave Republican spon- sors of the bonus bill with but one vote majority, provided the Democratic members vote solidly in opposition.

Washington, April 3O.-Republcan leaders renewing the peace fight today took the first skirmish with the Dem ocrats when the senate foreign rela tions committee ordered a favorable report on the peace resolution intro duced by Senator Knox of Pennsylva- mia, Republican. The resolution di- rects the president to conclude a peac, with Germany independent of the Treaty of Versailles. If carried in the senate, the resolution would direct President Wilson to negotiate direct ly with Germany on the terms of peace.
 The attitude of the Democratic mi nority Is a matter of guesswork When the peace fight is returned tc the floor of the senate, as the for eign relations committee today made certain, the Democrats will be under new leadership. Senator Underwood of Alabama, the new minority floor leader, is not expected to assume the uncompromising attitude maintained by Senator Hitchcock in the peac wrangle this far.

SABINA MINES COMPANY
NEW CORPORATE NAME
SHARES ARE MADE ASSESSABLE
COMPANY OWNS VALU-
ABLE GROUND.

The troubles of the Sabina Mining
company, growing out of the inability
of the company to enforce collection
of assessments upon its stock. have
been settled by the organization of a
new company which has taken over
all the assets of the old and in which
it is specifically provided that all
shares are assessable The new COM
pany is called the Sabina Mines com
pany and has a capital stock of L.
100000 shares, the same as the old
company. the only difference being
that the par value of shares has been
reduced from 81 to 10 cents per share
The action was taken by the stock
holders at meeting in which almost
all of the issued stock was represented
and received the Affirmative vote Of
considerably more than two-thirds of
stock outstanding. Protest was made
against the action by John Melander,
holder of a large block of assess
able stock, this being the only oppO-
sitOn 60 the procedure. In fact it
was the refusal of Mr. Melander to
company to change the form of its
charter so that it could raise funds
by assessment. He was one of the
original locatOrs of the Sabina ground
and when the original company was
organized took pay for his interest in
stock upon condition that it would
remain -assessable. Being unable
to sell treasury stock to finance the
company, the directors levied an as
sessment. Melander refused to pay
aud won out in the district court.
Reoreanize Company.
Like most other development COM
panes the Sabina was unable to
market treasury stock, and being
confronted with performing annual
work on eleven claims,
some means had to be devised to raise
the necessary funds. The only prac-
tical plan seemed to be to reorganize
as an assessable company and this
has now been carried out. 1t is ex-
pected that an assessment will now
be levied which will provide funds to
cover assessment work, and it is
probable that the plans contemplate
