New York, May 1.-The reds OF
New York today did not make good
on representations that May Day

test against profiteering landlords. the
industrial system and the govern
ment OF the United States. Not a
single insurrectionary speaker pub
liclv proclaimed the gospel of an
archy. not a solitary bomb readJusted
social inequalities or bits of familiar
scenery and not one of eleven thou
sand police clubs was raised in be
half of a threatened peace.
The city went about it's usual rou-
tine with just hint Of official ner-
vousness. but with most of the popu-
lation more concerned that another
cool day had prolonged winter sea
son of which most people have had
more than enough.
Special guards were on duty a all
public buildings. railroad terminals
and bridges J. T, Morgan had pri-
vate detectives on guard outside his
home.
The communists kept to their lairs
in the Businesses of the Congested
quarters There were numerous
meetings and much inflammatory
talk, but not sign of expression in
direct action. A good many copies
of the notorious workers awaken
pamphlet were distributed in ciandes-
tine fashion, but workers showed not
a trace ot a disposition to respond
to the apneal to make May Day the
occasion for a general strike.

amazing document in criminal an

ney. He has given only a portion OF
his story, and has omitted much OF
the horror and many of the crimes
either because of his weakened con

revolving details al this time"
Watson is charged thus far with
making way with nine women, -four
of whom ne confessed he murdered
What ne has done with the other five
is a mystery the authorities are seek
ing TO solve

into Mexico and there sold them al
slaves in Mexican dives. Sheriff Cline
