NEW YORK POLICE TO STAY ON DUTY
 UNTIL MONDAY

New York, April 3G-New York s entire police force of 1000 men to- day was ordered to remain on duty continuously until Monday morning a measure of precaution against pos sible May Day violence or radical demonstrations.
 Members of the bomb squad were ferreting out a number of radicals believed to be active in the attmept to cause a great demonstration here.
 Police today declared that the ar rest late last night of Abram Jakira and Jacob An1ter, who were taken in custody in a Bleecker street apart ment and held on charges of criminal anarchy, had broken the spirit of communist workers who expected to bring about a demonstration tomor- row.
 These men charged by the police with having several wagon loads of radical literature in their possession, were said to have been officers here of the Third Internationale and in constant communication with Mos- COW.
 The police said they found circu- lars similar to those ecattered here and in various other large cities call ing attention to the industrial condi- tions in the United States and urging the overthrow of the government. Several loaded revolvers also were found.
 A trunk filled with maps of the United States. which revealed the to- tai membership of revolutionary groups in every city and community of any size throughout the United States, was found by the police.
 Russians, Poles and Italians were found to be in the majority. The sta tistics revealed that in the mining districts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia as well as in several other states east of Chicago. the percentage of radicals was very high.

A large percentage of those who are unable to obtain work are in the big industrial sections of the Eastern and Central states, included in these nine teen states, from which unemployed figures could be obtained, but reports from the other states where figures were unobtainable, all show that un- employment exisi $ and the estimated unemployment of the country. made by experts including labor leaders, range from 3,000,00O to 5,00O,0OO persons.
 Reports of much unemployment snow up from New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania. Indiana, Michigan. Wis consin and Ohio while pra ctically every state east of the Mississippi river and north of the Mason and Dixon line is seriously affected by the wave that has swept over the coun- try during the last year. The re. ports indicate that the situation in these more densely populated states is growing more acute daily.

Reports current shortly after noon today that the West end plant of. the Columbia, Graphophone company had closed entirely today for an indefinite period could not be verified because all offices and departments closed down at noon as is customary on Sat urday.
 From. an unofficial source it was learned that perhaps the draughting room would be closed for some time but that no general shut down had occurred It is understood that the plant has not been busy since some time before the holidays and repeated rumors have emanated from the fac tory that machinery in some depart ments was packed preparatory to be- ing moved.

Chicago, April 5o-Discovery of essence of nicotine Tn the vital organs of Miss Marie Vance, daughter of a wealthy Glencoe, Ills, dentist. who died in Los Angeles on April f, led today to a disagreement between phy- sicians about the cause of the death that may become an important factor in the mysterious case.
 Physicians of the California board of health certified the cause of her death as diphtheria. Coroner's Physi- elan Burneister. of Chcago. and Coroner's Chemist McNally, who made the posthumous eXaminatian of the body at the request of Coroner Hoff- man. found two grains of nicotine and the coroner is confident he pois- on caused her death .
 It was expected that Robert s. Lockhart, of Covington, Va, feputed d fance of Miss Vance, would be brought here and questioned. Dr. William V. Vance, father of the dead woman. declared he was convnced his daughter had been slain and would demand punishment of the all legged slayers- Vance and Coroner

Ballard Pilots
 Party zhrough Children s Home

County Commissioner Frank E. Ballard piloted party of 25 senators, representatives and commissioners of Fairfield county on a tour of inspec- tion of the Fairfield County Child ren's Home, Norwalk, yesterday. The results of the tour of inspection, the first in ovgsr a year, were highly sat iSfactory.
 Suggestions made by members of the party were entirely as to minor details. and a special tribute was paid to the matron. Mrs. William Crawford, for the conditions in the home. and the improvements noted since she took charge about two years ago.
 At the present time there are over 100 children being taken care of. Since the first of the year 20 have loeen admitted. This is slightly above the usual average, but not the in crease that might be expected during the present unprecedented depression in this locality.
 Should conditions in Stratford be as bad as feared in some quarters the home may be called upon to take care of somS suffering children. and this it is ready to do at any time.
 Commissioner Ballard called at tention to the splendid results that are now being shown by the state aid to widows with dependent chill dren, for it IS not doubted that if this aid was not given. the various children's homes would be crowded today. This method of giving widows the splendid opportunity of keeping their youn gSters at home is not onlv making many homes happy that would otherwise be sad. but is giy- ing many children the benefit of home life. and at the same time making room in the institutions for less fortunate children.
 Following the inspection. reports were current that an appropriation would be included in the next budget of S1.oo0 with which a purchase would be made of II acres of adjacent ground to be used for the purpose of a playground

MASKED THIEF
 KILLS WOMAN

South Orange, N. J., April 3O-Four masked bandits today held up an au- tomobile in which Mrs. Celeste Cas- sese of Orange was returning from visit to a sick friend. When she screamed, one of the men 1eaped into the tonneau and choked her to death- Meanwhile the others cover ed her chauffeur, Michael SelIito, with revolvers.
 When Mrs. Cassese lost conscious ness they paid no more heed to her but bound Sellito to the steering g wheel, rif1ed his pockets and fled.
 Sellito held his head continuously against the button of the electric horn, finally attracting residents of nearby houses, who notified the police.

showed that on January first Of this year the leading cities of the coun- try with population of 32,560.9 953 had a total of 1,S02,755 unemployed and subsequent bulletins issued by this service indicate that this number has increased somewhat in these cities during the last four months.
 While the unemployment xtends to the West and South. yet in the reports from the former a decided tone of optimism prevails for a re- sum ption of business activity that would speedily do away with the un- employment while in the South the situation does not appear to be of a serious nature and reports state that when the agricultural work is in full swing the surplus of labor will be small.
 New York City, Philadelphia, Chi caSo. Detroit anf Cleveland stand out as the centers of the unemployment wave.
 In thH country's largest city. re- ports from experts indicate that ap. proximately 250,00 men and womer are out of work.
