Attempted Bomber Of
Aberdeen Legion Hall
Still At Large Today

Aberdeen, Wash, Feb. 3.-After
an all night search, police today
again took up the trail of the
bomber who attempted last night to
blow up the American Legion
building here. The attempt was
frustrated only by the timely pass
ing of Henry Lancaster. a Legion
naire, whose curiosity, when he saw
a man crouching near the building,
led him to investigate with the re-
suit that he discovered a smoking
fuse attached to rs sticks of dyna-
mite. Fifty Legion men were in
the building at the time, most of
them making out applications for
the state bonus.
Lancaster was able to furnish the
police a good description of the
man. Every avenue of escape from
the city was closed at once, all
trains and boats have been watch
cd and it is believed the man is still
in hiding here. The paper in
which the dynamite was wrapped
is believed, however, to provide the
best clue to the bombers identity
1t was copy of a Montesano
weekly publication and addressed to
S. Tagaya, japanese section fore
man at South Montesano. Tagaya
was taken into custody and ques-
toned for four hours by the police
and Sheriff Elmer Gibson but was
released at the end of that time, the
authorities coming to the conclu-
sion that neither Tagaya nor any of
his crew had anything to do with
the bombing attempt. Lancaster
was unable to identify Tagaya or
any of his crew.
Two other suspects were arrested
by the police as they were attempt
ing to board the blind baggage of A
train for Seattle. One of them had
a quantity of fuses and the other a
small bottle of explosive. Neither
is believed. however. to have had
anything to do with the attack.
though they are being held in con-
nection with the attempt to blow a
safe at Cosmopolis early yesterday
morning.
Officials are still working on the
heory that the bombing attempt
on the Legion building has a con-
nection with the Armistice day
murders at Centralia and the sub
3equent trial of the alleged muir
1erers at Montesano.

Huns Consider
Reparations Is
Yet Unsettled

, Rerlin, Feb. 3.-Germany does
not consider the terms of repara-
ton decided upon by the supreme
allied council as being the final
settlement of the indemnity ques-
ton, out the basis of future nego-
tiations. This was indicated by
DR.. Walter Simons, foreign minis
ter, who spoke before the Reichs-
tag yesterday.
His address was viewed as "A
cautious statement by party lead
ers who were willing informally %
discuss it. The prevalent opinion
was that DR.. Simons had not burn
ed his bridges behind him, and
that his presentation of the Ger
man attitude might enable him to
gain important time, both in anti
cipating the attitude of the new
American administration and in
reaching a definite settlement of
the fate of Upper Sllesia.
Rumors have been current that
the German cabinet would resign,
but they have been given little
,redence. Only the communists
stand out as the opposition. The
opinion was expressed that the in
dependent SOCIALISTS could adopt
TO other attitude than one Of
stern opposition to the reparation
conditions. under which the prole-
tariat would be the greatest suf-
ferers. This view was promptly
subscribed to by majority socialists
who have made it known they
would stand by the present gov
ernment.
"The reparation demands are

workingman." Dr. Eduard David,
