Bosdan was arraigned before Federal
Commissioner Hayes.
Tho arrest OF Bosdan followed an
affidavit which alleged that he had
sought to sell confidential records OF

Bosdan came into possession OF secret
Government records is said to be the
aim of the Department OF Justice to

ALLIES TOFOLLOW
VIEWS OF AMERICA

LONDON, May 1.-THE advice OF
the United States will be sought by
the allies on the future policies to-
ward Russia and Germany. before the
forthcoming conference at Spa makes
any definite decisions, II was learned
from an authoritative source today.
All Of the vital peace issues in
volving Germany will be threshed out
when the allied statesmen meet the
German ENJOYS at Spa late this
month. II is probable that some OF
the allied decisions, notably the flu
ture attitude OF the allies toward
Russia, may be announced before the
conference opens.
II "a understood that Sir Auckland
oeddes. the British ambassador to
the United States, has been instruct
ed to discuss fully the Russian situ-
alton with the American State De-
partment.
France already has handed. to the
German government a full list of the
allied claims under the treaty of Ver-
sailIes. and they will be pressed Wig
orously.
Premier Millerand OF France is
scbeduled to arrive at Folkestone on
Friday for a long conference with
premier Lloyd George. II Is believed
that the foundation stones of a anal
settlement on German AFFAIRS will be
laid. On the following Monday. the
French and German delegates VIII

Sylvester Plays

Enter Richard Sylvester, former
major and superintendent OF po-

in a new role.
He it was who played the part
OF the "mysterious stranger in
the Leonard Wood-Senator Moses
-du Pont row about the ill-fated
dye bill. which has just expired
painlessly in the Senate.
Around the Wood headquarters
in New York. it is whispered that
"Dick" Sylvester was the deep

General, on behalf of the du Points
interests, with the suggestion
that he exercise his influence with
Senator George Moses to per

against the dye bill. in which the

Such Is the terrible charge
hanging over the head of the
former intrepid major and sup
erintedent of police. Sylvester
made a special trip out to In
diana to "confer" with General
Wood, and enlist his support for
the dye bill. His mission seems
to have been a failure, for Wood
does not seem to have been deeply
interested.
AS for Senator Moses, who is
one OF Woods Eastern mana
gers. he laughed at all attempts
OF the du Points to head him off
and m de public a letter in which

A nation wide campaign against
sugar spectators, hitting principally
brokers and jobbers. was begun by
the Department OF Justice today with
the arrest of officials OF three large
sugar firms in Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. all charged with profi-
teering, it was announced here today.
The firms are: Sherbourne a. Co.,
Boston; G. II. Finley & Co. New York
City, and George r. Camp, Philsdel-
phia. According to evidence in the
hands OF the department. these flrms
are alleged to have sold sugar at
prices ranging from 17h cents to 81
cents a pound.
Information being obtained by
agents of the department, Il Is said,
may result in a roundup OF every
sugar speculator in the country.

sugar condition Is due almost ex-
clusively to the activities of these
spectators and II is hoped by their
