lLINDENFELD is
NOT IMPLICATED
IN EXPLOSION
But Burns Says He Was So
Close to the Radical Ele-
ments Who We're Its Per-
petrators That He Knew
All About Third In
ternationale ing
Spirit

Washington, d. G.. Dec. II tBy the
Associated Pressl.--The arrest in War
saw of Wolfe Lindenfeld will clear up
the entire mystery Of the Wall street
explosion Of Sept. l6, 1927, i was
stated positively to-day by William J.
Burns, head of the department of JUS
tice's bureau of investigation.
Ljndenfcld, whose arrest was report
ed To the department by the Associ-
ated Press, was described by Mr.. Burns
as the KEY to the solution Of the mys-
tery and "the only man that we know
himself was not implicated in the ex-
k,losion, one of the worst tragedies in
in the history of New York, but was
so close to the radical elements who
were its perpetrators that he knew all
about It. The Third Internationale,
Mr.. Burns said, was the moving spirit
behind the plot.
\ Lindenfeld, according to Mr.. Burns,
went abroad originally on behalf of the
justice department to obtain informa-
tion which would lead to the arrest of
those responsible for the explosion.
When no reports were received about
him, Mr.. Burns said, Sylvester Cos
grove, one Of the departments agents.
was sent over to find out why Linden
field was not sending the information
promised, and the arrest followed.
Radicals in Europe as well as in the
United States, Mr.. Burns asserted,
were under surveillance by the depart
mcnt for suspected connection with the
explosion and if the information to be
obtained from Lindenfeld proves TO be
as expected, arrests are in immediate
prospect.

French and Italian De-
mands Again Under
Consideration
WITH LITTLE HOPE
OF PROMPT ACTION
Veil Of Sc or ecy Was
Thrown Over To-day's
Discussion

Washington, ID. c. Dec. II fBy the

sumed consideration to-day Of the
French and Italian naval ratio prob

day would show any material results
| in the way of advancement toward an
agreement among the five powers on
relative naval strength.
The committee again was entrenched
behind its rule OF silence, and no fur-
ther information was available as to
the exact nature of the statement the
French group is making as to Frances
needs in naval tonnage on the basis Of
her national security. Nor was further
light available on the French project
to build ten 35,000-ton capital ships in
the decade l925-l935.
NJ. Sarraut, now head Of the French
delegation, intimated last night that
France would seek to have the secrecy
that correct view Of the position TAX
en- by her delegation on naval strength
might be given to the public.
1t is generally understood that NJ.
Sarrut and Ambassador Jusserand lack
full power to modify the basis or the
details of the naval proposals France
has presented to the committee The
delegation is known to have been in
cable communication with Paris since
the big Three" agreement was made
known officially but il has not been
disclosed whether additional instruc-
tions have been received from Premier

Some officials here count upon the
effect in France the return of. Marshal
Foch from the United States IL apt to
have because of the extraordinary
warmth OF the reception the great
French soldier received all over the
United States during his visit here. II
is estimated by these officials that the
marshals report Of the very friendly
feeling shown toward, him by the
American people everywhere. will have
a bearing in final determination OF the
French government to shape its course
in naval matters along the same lines
as Great Britain. the United States
and Japan, have agreed to do in the
