PAUL HYMANS HEADS
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Thirty-Five of Forty-One Nations
Represented at Geneva Vote
for Belgian.

Geneva, Nov. 15.-Paul Hymans of
Belgium was elected president of the
League of Nations at the first meeting
of the assembly of the league, which
convened here. He received 80 of the
A votes of the nations represented.
NJ. Hymans was temporary president
and former foreign minister of Bel
GUM.
Just before the opening hour pro-
cessiOn made up of Swiss officials
marched from the city hall to the Hall
of the Reformation, where the dele
gates were assembling for the session.
The paraders marched through streets
bedecked with the flags of virtually
all the nations of the world, with the
exception of Germany, Austria and
Turkey. Never before in the history
of the world, it is believed, had the
flags of so many nations flown to-
gether.
Only a few American flags were
noted among the colors displayed. The
Swiss national and cantOnal ensigns
predOminated in the decoration.
The United States was not repre-
scented officially, but throughout the
session there will be present American
observers" who will keep Washing
ton informed of developments.

NEWSPAPER LAYS N. Y.
BLAST TO LABOR TROUBLE
the Wall Street Bomb
Outrage.

New York, Nov. 12.-The New York
Evening World publishes three-page
article under the headline wall
Street Explosion Solved in which. it
gives the result of its independent in
vestigation of the disaster which took
nearly two score lives last Septem-
Der and seeks to link the outrage with
building trade graft" now under JIM
vestigation by a joint legislative COM
mittee.
The Evening World maintains that
the explosion, instead of being the
work of anarchists" as charged by
Chief Flynn of the department of
justice, or "the third internationale,
as charged by private investigators,
was really plot of labor men or la
Dor sympathizers, directed in revenge
against Robert U. Brindell, president
of the Building Trades council; Brin-
dell workers demolishing the stock ex-
change building annex at Broadway
and Wall street. and contractors
hiring Brindell men.
Naming a union and pointing out
that Brindell had many enemies in la
Dor ranks. the Evening World says:
"The Evening World here presents
proof that 1900 men, nearly all for
eign born, sober, industrious, efficient
and well disciplined. have within
space of IS months been subjected to
an amazing conspiracy of greed and
injustice and the explosion was the
elimination of this tyranny
'"The' Evening World does not
charge the union, as a union, with re-
sponsibility. It was the work of indi-
viduals, possibly inside the union,
possibly the work of sympathizers.

WAR THREAT BY JAP LEADER
Okuma Says Only Force Remains If
United States Bars Japanese
In California.

Tokyo, Nov. 16.-Marquis Okuna,
former Japanese premier, addressing
meeting strongly attacked the plan
to exclude Japanese from America by
treaty. He pointed out that hitherto
immigration was restricted under a
voluntary agreement because it was
realized that restriction was prejudi-
cial to Japan's prestige. The present
effort to make restriction statutory,
he said was an act of infidelity to
Japanese-American friendship. The
former premie. believed that Washing
ton would be able to stop the Cali
fornian measures by enlisting public
opinion of the whole country. If
Japan's appeals to American sense of
international morality failed, the
speaker continued, only force re-
NAMED. Japan sincerely desired Il
solution of the problem be concluded,
fearing that otherwise the question
would lead up to an outburst of self
sacrificing patriotism for which the
Japanese people are noted.

/. The train robbed Was ihes throuefkn
fast mail from San Francisco to New
York, and the treasure car carried reg

Atlantic.
A portion of the loot was a treas
ury shipment of gold from the mint
in San Francisco to Washington.
Insider With Thieves.
Somebody connected with the de-
partment on the inside was in the
plot says Marshal Eberstein, Omaha
chief.
1.-THE biggest train robbery in 70
years if not in the whole history q
the train robberies in the United
States,,o says Capt. Charles Shafer OF
Council Bluffs.
Government officials are making no
statements and the amount OF loot
may not be. known for 80 days
The car was made up in San Fran
cisco Wednesday with money, stocks
and bonds from many California towns
and cities, addressed TO banks in prac-
tically all Eastern cities. as well as
Chicago, in addition to the big gold
shipment.
Until complaints from shippers or
consignees arrive the department has
no way of checking all these differ
3he treasury shipment was several
strong boxes and all were taken.
The treasure car came into Omaha
on Union Pacific train and was
transferred to the center of the Bur-
lington fast mail The car left Omaha
securely locked and bolted. When
the train stopped at the Union Pacific
transfer between Omaha and Council
Bluffs the car was intact.
No arrests hare been made. Prob
ably 500 persons are working on the
case. The railroad tracks are crossed
by roads at every block, and auto
mobiles which carried off the plumber
cannot be traced. Some believe the
loot was. carried in automobiles to the
Missouri river and taken away in a
motorboat.
When the train stopped in Council
Bluffs, about half an hour after eav-
ing the Omaha Onion station, a postal
clerk who attempted to pass through
the treasure car found the door
chained. Suspecting trouble, he sum
moned other clerks, and the door was
broken. The car was in disorder and
the boxes of gold had disappeared.
Side Window Broken.
A window on the south side of the
car had been broken open. The nail
sacks and the boxes of gold had been
thrown from the train while in motion
and the robbers themselves are sup
posed to have leaped through the
wirslow after their presence was dis
covered.
Passing between the transfer and
the CITY depot of the road the train
runs very slowly, not more than five
miles an hour.
