FRENCH POLICE
UNEARTH SOVIET
ESPIONAGE PLOT
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS, May 4-Claiming to have
discovered the existence of a highly
developed espionage system organized
by Communists in France for the
benefit of the Russian soviet govern
ment. the French police today made
three arrests in connection with the
alleged plot, and promised numerous
others within a few days.
The espionage scheme. they declare
involves 200 operatives and has rami :
fications in Brest, Lorient. Toulon,
and also powder factories in the
center of France and arsenals in the
vicinity of Paris.
Secret documents have been stolen
from the Brest arsenal, according to
the police and from the largest pow
der factory in the center of France
and they claim to have proof that
regular couriers have piled between
espionage centers in France and Ber-
lin where documents were assembled
classified and forwarded to Moscow.
Intensive Bolshevist propaganda, the
police assert, also probably carried on
as a side line. One of the men was
arrested in the Communist municipal
councillor of Ivry Sur Seine, just out
side of Paris, which is the site of one
of the largest arsenals in France.
The police headquarters here issued
an official communique saying the
police had discovered an extremely
important affair interesting to the
national defense.''

BEVER|DGE' s VOTE
REACHES NEW PEAK
IN LATE RETURNS
fRepublican A. P. Leased wire1

INDIANAPOLIS. May - The
political comeback of former Senator
Albert j. Beveridge who was among
the progressive party leaders in 1912,
reached new peak of strength to-
night when his majority rose to 19,-
6S7 votes on the receipt of delayed
returns of Tuesdays primary elec-
tion. in which Mr.. Beveridge defeated
Senator Harry S, New for the Re
publican nomination Of United States
senator at the November election.
Mr.. Beveridge's majority suffered
a net loss OF 1858 votes during the
day. but this was moro than offset
tonight when his total vote was 202,-
81 against lS2.634 for New with the
only missing precincts in the state
being Sc in the city and Terre Haute.
The result of the Republican con-
test was the subject of much gossip
among political leaders of both ma
jor parties, but all of them withheld
formal comment. Mr.. Beveridge's
success in rural districts and in sew
eral cities was attributed by some
to discomfort among farmers and
unemployed labor. He carried big
majority of the counties that cast
large Progressive party votes in 1912,
as also most of the counties that IA
yored Senator James e. Watson in
the latter's contest against Mr.. New
for the senatorial nomination in
1916.

Borah Charges Russian
Ambassador Kept Part
OF US. -Kerensky Loan
[RepubIlean A. b. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 4-Asserting
the belief that Boris Bakhmeteff, the
last ambassador of a Russian govern
ment to come to the United States,
never had presented to the state de-
partment credentials properly ac-
crediting him as the Russian am
bassador, Senator Borah, Republican
OF Idaho, charged in the senate today
that NJ, BalSl meteff had used part
Of the s1S7.0O0000 loaned by the
United States to the Kerensly gov
ernment of Russia and had invested
it in New Yerk and Chicago. Mr..
Borah likewise criticised and pro-
tested against a continuation OF the
polic5 of according to NJ. Bakhme-
teff the privileges and immunities Of
a diplomat.
In the course OF an extended dis
cussion the Idaho senator also at
tackled General Gregorie Seinenoff.
Russian anti Bolsheyiki leader. Mr.
Borah expressed the fear that the
general was here to obtain funds with
which tC promote a new revolution
in Russia and described him as re-
sponsible for crimes, the brutality of
which has never been equalled in
the history of the world"
Regarding the charge that NJ. Bak-
meteff had not turned over all of the
American loan to the Kerensky gov
ernmeRt, Borah declared that a priest
of the Greek church was ready to
testify before the labor committee as
TO the investment of some of the
funds in New York ard Chicago real
estate. The information which Mr.
Borah had he said, was to the effect
that the property was in the hands
Of a holding company which was
organized by NJ. Bakhmeteff for that
purpose.
Senator's Pomerene, Democrat Of
Ohio, and Smoot, Republican of Utah,
suggested that the money loaned by
this government had been used to
purchase war supplies in this coun-
try and which, subsequently,, were
sold after the revolution. The sup
plies had to be paid for, they added.
The Idaho senator declared it was
"inconceivable" that there could be
an ambassador from Russia here when
there has been no recognition of
in that nation. He add
ed that the only record he ever could
find was one showing that NJ. Bakh-
meteff ha6 been ordered to Washing
ton ito await Instructions" but said
that apparently the state department
had not giver this credence until the
subject of a loan to Russia for war
purposes came up.
ut is my opinion he continued,
that the state department never has
had credentials properly accrediting
Bakhmetefl TO this government. If
the department has them. ! would
be mighty glad TO see them"

IRISH F ACTIONS

DUBLIN, May. 4-The peace con-
ference between the rival factions in
Ireland met today and decided upon
a truce between the rival army fore
es beginning at 4 p. m. today and
lasting until the same time next
Monday.
The conference was a most friend
~ one, and the fact that it was
prolonged leads many to optimistic
views.
If any agreement is believed to
mean an improvement in the position
Of Eamonn the Valera, and his follow
ers who would be given a chance to
share in the portfolios of the dali
cabinet Likewise, the dissident army
supporting the de Valeraites would
coalesce with the official army gem
eral headquarters and its generals
resume their high commands in the
reunited body.
Moreover the Valeras persistent
protest against June elections would
be met, for the new parliament to
debate the constitution would be
elected without contests, labor being
given a due share in the new body
LAAAE A4ASbC10 vi dA0p1dCAnS lU6 Adil
in June, would give it a new lease
of life during the transition period,
which, however, must end before next
December, since the Anglo Irish
peace treaty prescribes that free
state elections shall be held within
II months of the signature of the
treaty.
These concessions already have
been virtually secured to de Valera
by the document agreed to by
Michael Collins and Richard Mul-
cahy as the basis of peace. The inn
portant point of difference concerns
the area of the new parliament's ju-
risdiction and raises the whole par
tition question.
All the rival chiefs had no difficult
ty in arranging the truce which sus-
pended including acts of aggression
against persons or property and vir-
tually stops recruiting by either force.
Couriers have been dispatched to
Kilkenny to order a cessation of the
fighting there.

SENATOR FRANCE NOT
LIABLE FOR CABLING

[RepubIIean a. P. leased WIrel

Republican A. p. Leased Wfre1
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The ac-
ton of Senator France, Republican,
Maryland, in cabling the Genoa con-
ference and urging that it invite
American participation, fails to fall
within the application 0f criminal
statutes, Attorney General Daugh-
erty declared today in a letter to
Miss Mary Kilbreth of the Woman
Patriot Publishing company of this
city, in which he declined to insti-
tute criminal prosecution of the
Maryland senator, as Miss kilbreth
had requested.
The letter, made public by Sen
ator Weller, Republican, Maryland
declared there was doubt as to the
construction of the statute covering
correspondence with foreign govern
ments and that Senator France must
be given the benefit of the doubt
"The statute, section five, OF the
criminal code, which the attorney
general said had never been con-
strued by a court, requires that cor
respondence between an American
citizen and a foreign government
must show an intent to influence the
conduct or action of that government
to apply to any case.
In my Judgment" the attorney
general wrote, the acts of Senator
France do not fulfill the conditions
stated as necessary to the application
of the statute 1t is not
clear that the acts in question consti-
tute either the commencing or the
carrying on of correspondence or in
tereourse. They merely invite a
public act by the conference at
Genoa which would request This
country to participate in its delibera-
tions. The cables sent by Senator
France do not call for or require any
reply or future exchange, merely set
ting forth that Senator France is in
terested and that he hopes to interest
others in the deliberations and hopes
for the conferences success"
The letter explained that the
American government through the
secretary of state had declined an in
vitation to the Genoa conference and
Senator. Frances cables which caused
Miss Kilbreth's request were sent
subsequently.
