ANARCHISTS BOMB U. S. PROSECUTORS
AUSTRIANS WANT DISTRIBUTION OF PUNISHMENT
BOATS SAIL WITH BIG PASSENGER LISTS FOR NOME
ARCHANGEL, June 3.—The loss
of important positions and inability
to cheek the steady forward move
ment of the Allied forces in North
Russia has had the effect of under
mining the morale of the Bolshevik
soldiers, and desertions to the Al
lied armies are growing in number
steadily. It is believed that many
more would quit the ranks of the
Reds but for the fear of torture
and death in the 'event of their fail
use to reach the Allied lines.
Recent activities on the part of
the American engineers resulted in
advances in the Vaga section, where
strong Allied positions have been
established.
’ STRIKE^ CALLED
IN VANCOUVER IS
* NOT A SUCCESS
VANCOUVER, B. C., June 3.—
Contrary to expectations, a general
strike has been called in this city,
the order to walk out having be
come effective at noon today. The
strike is general in name only, how
ever, for the reason that a number
of local unions refused to join the
movement and others have been ex
empted, with the result that busi
ness is progressing very much as
usual, and the belief is general that
the tieup will be of short duration.
British Columbia coast seamen,
longshoremen and shipyard workers
have responded to the call, but the
postal workers refused to walk out
Bakery and milk deliverers, mem
bers of the police force, city fire
men, and hotel and restaurant em
ployes were exempted by the strike
committee, and the telephone and
telegraph workers are unaffected.
There is a possibility that the
street carmen will go out at mid
night, but a definite decision on
this point has not yet been reacneJ,
the men having deferred action un
til later in the day.
AMERICANS HAVE
“HONOR” OF SLEEPING
IN BEDS OF ROYALTY|
BRUSSELS.—An American mis-j
sion on economic questions which |
arrived in Brussels recently is quar- j
tered at the Hotel Astoria. During j
the German occupation this hostel- j
ry was requisitioned by the German
high command; famous generals and,
members and heads of royal and
imperial families dwelt in it during
their occasional sojourn in the Bel
gian capital.
When the four members of the
delegation assembled for breakfast
on the day after their arrival, one j
excitedly informed his associates'
that he had slept “in the room for
merly occupied by Ludendorff.” He
appeared surprised because no en
thusiasm was displayed by the oth
ers because he had had the “honor”j
of sleeping in the bed where the
one-time chief of staff of the Ger
man army must have spent many
sleepless nights.
It transpired that all the party
had occupied rooms wherein either
royalty or fame had dwelt. Hin
denburg, Prince Rupprecht of Ba
varia, and the crown prince had
had the honor of having their for
mer beds -occupied by American cit
izens.

NATION IS STIRRED
BY ANARCHIST PLOT
| WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3.—
' A wholesale attempt to destroy the
homes of government prosecutors
active in the prosecution of radi
cals, resulted last night in the par
tial wreck of a number of resi
^ denees in cities throughout the East,
i including the costly home of Attor
ney General A. Mitchell Palmer in
the fashionable quarter of this city.
1 None of the officials against whom
the bomb outrages were directed
was injured, although several very
narrow escapes are reported.
The explosions, it is believed, are
the sequel to the May Day despatch
of infernal machines through the
mails. It is also believed the out
rages of last night are a step in
the anarchist movement for the
overthrow of the government.
The man who planted the bomb
which partially wrecked the Palmer
residence, and whose remains have
been identified by the police as
those of a notorious Philadelphia
anarchist, was killed by the explo
sion. His head was found on top
of a house a block away from the
Palmer home. f
A pamphlet found near the body
of the dead man, signed “Anar
chistic Fighters,” announced that
“the time has come when the solu
tion of social questions cannot be
delayed,” and that the war from ■
now on must end with victory for
an international proletariat.
Intended Victim*.
Attempts were made to wreck
two homes in this city, Senator!
Claude A. Swanson, residing at 2133
R street, being one of the intended
victims in addition to Attorney Gen
eral Falmer. The bomb was ex
ploded near the Swanson home, but
did little damage. The Palmer man
sion, in the fashionable residential
district, was considerably damaged,
but the members of the family, who
were asleep on the second floor at
the time of the explosion, escaped
injury.
Among the other intended victims
were Justice Albert Hayden, of Bos
ton; Mayor Davis, of Cleveland;
Federal Judge William Thompson
and Immigration Chief Sibray, of
Pittsburg; Judge Charles Knott, of
New York, and State Representa
tive Powers, of Newtonville, Mass.
CHURCH DAMAGED.
PHILADELPHIA, June 3 — A
Catholic church and the residence
of a jeweler of this city were dam-1
aged by the explosion of bombs
during the night. Three persons!
were injured, and one man, sus-;
pected of complicity in the plot, has
been placed under arrest. The po-1
lice are of the opinion that the i
plot was laid at Washington.
GUARDING HANSON HOME.
SEATTLE, June 3. — Following;
the receipt of the news of the at-!
tempt to destroy the homes of of- j
ficials in the East, Chief of Police j
Warren placed a heavy guard about'
the home of Mayor Ole Hanson, |
fearing that an attempt might be •
made to wreck the residence on j
account of Mayor Hanson’s firm
stand against the radicals of this
city during the late shipyard strike.

automobiles awaiting to take them

OF NOIE REUS
NEW YORK, June 3.—Frank A.
Vanderlip, one of the most prom
inent banking men in the United
| States, has resigned as president of
the ^Sfstional City bank of this city,
which position he has held since
1909.
Vanderlip began his professional
career as a reporter, at the age of
25, later becoming financial editor
of the Chicago Tribune, and then
associate editor of The Economist.
In 1897 he became private secre
tary to Secretary of the Treasury
Gage, and later received the ap
pointment as assistant secretary of
the treasury. In 1901 he became
vice-president of the National City
bany, serving in that capacity until
1909, when he was elevated to the
presidency. He is a director on the
boards of numerous corporations of
prominence.
STAFFORD INJURED
ON FAIRBANKS LINE
Yesterday evening, R. Stafford,
one of the railroad workers on the
Fairbanks line, was brought to the
hospital from across the river, for
treatment.
Stafford was at work on the
grade near Standard creek, when a
mass of frozen muck or gravel loos
ened from the hillside came down
on him before he could get away,
and badly crushed his leg.
An X-ray picture was taken of
the injured member at the hospital
this morning, and it disclosed the
fact that the bone was broken just
above the ankle. He probably will
have to remain in the hospital for
about a month.
Mrs. Jack Bellerby, Russell Bel
lerby, Miss Edith Neile, Leonard
Anderson and Lawrence Olsen ar
rived in Nenana late yesterday aft
ernoon from Fairbanks on -the

AUSTRIA TO ANSWER
BY MIDDLE OF JUNE
\ ST. GERMAIN, France, June 3.—
I The Austro-Hungarian delegates, to
| whom the treaty terms were made
i known yesterday, have been given
; fifteen days in which to submit
I their answer, subject to restrictions
I similar to those imposed on the
i Germans.
Upon receiving the completed
portion of the treaty, Dr. Karl Ren
ner, Austrian chancellor, delivered
I a penitent speech, indicating to the
•'Allies that it would be a difficult,
if not an impossible task for the
i remnant of the former Austrian
j empire to make substantial repara
! tion for the damage done by the
j Austrian armies. He asked that the
i weight of the punishment imposed
by the Allies be divided among the
eight new countries which have
sprung from old Austria.
No effort was made to clear Aus
tria from guilt in connection with
the' starting of the war.
DIRECTOR HINES
I
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3.— i
The railroads of the country which j
are being operated under govern-1
ment control are not earning suf- i
ficient money to meet the cost of
operation, according to a statement
made in this city today by Director
Hines.
Hines declares that the roads will
be able to meet their operating ex
penses only by increasing rates, but
he is opposed to a rate increase at
this time, because of the belief that
it would be followed by an increase
in the cost of the necessities of life
to consumers.
The only alternative, in the opin
ion of the director, is to draw on
the federal treasury for sufficient
funds to meet the deficiency that
will result from continued opera
tion under present conditions. Hines
wants Congress to appropriate
enough money to carry the rail
roads over until such time as the
systems are turned back to their;
rightful owners.
ORPHAN CLUB MEMBERS
WILL MEET TOMORROW
The regular weekly meeting of;
the Nenana Orphan Fund club will
be held tomorrow afternoon at the
home of Mrs. W. H. Gilcher, at
First and C streets. The meeting
will commence at the usual hour, j
2:30.
LODGE ASSERTS
L SENATORS WERE
LAST TO LEARN
[':■ 1 ■
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3—
In an address delivered on the floor
of the senate today, in opposition
to the League of Nations, Senator
Lodge informed his colleagues that
the senate had not been treated
fairly by the administration with
regard to the release of informa
tion regarding the action of the
peace conference.
He declared that he had seen a
copy of the treaty with Germany
in a business house in New York
city long before members of the
senate had been informed of the
character of the terms. The copy
seen by him, he said, was supplied
to the New Yorkers “by American
representatives at Paris, and at the
same time the same information
was withheld from the senate by
the state department.
NORDALE BACK FROM
TRIP TO OUTSIDE
On the Gibson automobile arriv
ing in Fairbanks at about 8 o’clock
last night, Tony Nordale, who had
been attending the session of the
territorial legislature at Junau, re
turned to Fairbanks.
Leon Chartrain was also a pass
enger for Fairbanks on the auto.
After the legislature adjourned,
Nordale made a trip to Seattle and
visited with his son Hjalmar at
Fort Lawton. Hjalmar was still in
the army at the time his father
visited him, but was discharged last
week, and expects to come to Fair
banks some time before the Fourth
! of July.

AIRPLANES USED

j LONDON. — Sweeping up the
'thousands of mines which strew the
seas in the neighborhood of the
British Isles has proved such a cost
I ly and dangerous job when carried
on by the ordinary methods, that
the admiralty has turned to the air
ship for relief. Experiments con-:

much quicker than when the usual i
mine-sweeping ship is used.
While the airship has the advan-,

the mere fact that an airship cannot

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 3.—Ques
tioned today relative to the prob
able outcome of the championship
prizering contest between Jess Wil

to take place in this city on July 4,
Promoter Tex Rickard declared that
any attempt to pick the winner

He says the two men are very even

lief that Dempsey will tax Willard's
ability to the utmost to retain the
championship.
Willard is now in training here

FOR NOME WIIH
CAPACITY LOAD
SEATTLE, June 3.—The steam
ship Victoria sailed for Nome this
afternoon with a total of four hun
dred and twenty-five passengers,
many of whom are booked for St.
Michael and upper Yukon points.
The vessel is under the command of
Fred Wagner.
The Victoria expects to reach the
Nome roadstead at about the same
time as the steamship Senator,
which sailed for the North on Sun
day, also with a capacity load of
passengers.
The departure of the boats, witn
decks crowded, and many on the
docks to see the voyagers off, gave
the waterfront much the appear
ance of old times, when full lists
for Seward peninsula were the rule
rather than the exception. Travel
toward the North is heavier this
season than for several years, both
for Nome and for ports in South
eastern and Southwestern Alaska.
MAD NAS
BEEN TAKEN BV
COPENHAGEN, June 3. — The
city of Petrograd, lon>; the strong
hold of the Bolsheviki leaders, has
been captured by the Finnish
forces, co-operating with an Es
thonian army. Details of the cap
ture have not yet reached this city,
but the news does not come as a
surprise, as it has appeared certain
for several weeks that the advanc
ing armies would be able to drive
the Red C/uards from the ancient
capital.
That the Bolsheviki leaders en
tertained little hope of retaining
their hold on the city was indicated
some time ago, when orders were
issued for the departure of the civ
ilian population, followed quickly
by a wholesale exodus.
It is expected, now that the men
ace of Bolshevism has been re
moved, that many of the former
residents, not in sympathy with the
Lenine-Trotsky movement, will re
turn to the city.
