H|GHUGHTS THROWN ON
WOLFE L|NDENFELD BY
POLISH POLICE CHIEF
Anarchist Names 6 Accompli-
ces Who Assisted in Bomb
ing of Wall Street in 1920.

WARSAW, Poland, Dec. 21.-U.
P)--Wolfe Lindenfed, held here in
connection with the 1920 Wall Street
bomb murders nmaed six accomplices
for whom the detectives are now
searching DR.. Stanislaus Oulkowsld
chief of the commissary of Polish po-
litical police declared today. Oulko-
wski gave the following highlights of
Lindenfeld's history:
He was undoubtedly connected with
the bombing because he knew all de-
tails of the plan, how the bombs were
made and how to be set off; he did
not actually participate in the expo-
sion, but knows who did.
The accomplices names were not di-
vulgcd. Polish authorities are anxious
to deport Lindenfeld as soon as pos
sible. Lndenfeld was born in War
saw in 1889, is married and has wife
and two children living in New York
/ city
Lindenfeld participated in the rcyo-
J lntionary movement in Poland In 1906
/ While a member OF the German sec
/ tion and the Socialist party and work
/ ing as a store clerk, that party decided
/ to punish him for strike breaking.
Lindenfeld thereup sought police pro-
lection and became spy in the So
cialist ranks, It being his duty to inclte
radicals TO some unlawful action and
then inform on them. He later came
10 America, whore he started politi-
+ cal newspaper, took part in propagan-
da work and joined the international
labor party. After the Wall Street
bomb outrage, Tdndenfeld said he went
to William j. Burns, head Of the
Burns Detective Agency, now chief Of
the United states secret service, and
4 offered to 60 to work for him. He
got $4,000 from Burns and then dis
appeared. He returned to Poland and
was becoming active in the communist
political work when Detective Slvvest-
] rr cosgrove, working for Burns To-
Gated him here.

THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS TO APPROVE
RESERVATIONS TO QUADRUPLE PACIFIC PACT

ment between President Harding and

Secretary Hughes and other confer

cludes Japan proper in the territory

to safeguard President Harding flat
ly disagrees with this view, holding
that only island possessions of the
four powers are meant. Harding is
willing, however. to allow the Hughes
construction TO stand for official pur-
poses The treaty opponents predict
ed failure for the pact as a result of
this controversy in the presidents S

The chef result of the embarrass-

President Harding will be urged by

reservation to the quadruple Pacific
