' By the Associated Press. WARSAW, December 21.—It was considered quite possible today that the necessary procedure to take Wolfe Lindenfeld, alias Willlam Linde, back to America soon would be begun. He was arrested here last week by the Polish authorities at the request of the American department of justice in connection with its investigation of the Wall street explosion in Septem- jber, 1920. | Intimation that Lindenfeld would ‘soon be returned to the United i States was given by Sylvester Cos- grove, agent of the Department of Justice, who said he believed the Polish authorities would not object, although they had not yet announced what action would be taken. Gives Further Information. Lindenfeld repeatedly begs to be re- turned to America, according to au- thorities, making emphatic promises to tell more of the details he claims to know concerning the Wall Street disaster. Cosgrove says he believes Lindenfeld knows still more than he has related. He said the police were giving Lindenfeld time to think the situation over. Stenographers are kept waiting in the event the prisoner de- sires to make further statements. Lindenfeld has given the name of the driver of the wagon which is said to have taken the bomb into the Ney York financial district. This name, according to Cosgrove, corresponds_with the one obtained by William J. Burns, chief of the bureau of investigation of the De- partment of Justice. Cosgrove says i Lindenfeld also has named two persons who he declares manufactured the bomb. Lindenfeld's statement, he says, tells how the wagon driver escaped just Defore the explosion occurred and how other principals in_the alleged plot ar- ranged to be far from Wall street on the day of the explosion. Suggest Man Has Double. Jewish newspapers, which are the only publications in Warsaw that have paid much attention to the Lindenfeld case, say Lindenfeld’s relatives ad- vance the theory that the prisoner has a double who has communist conr tions. Lindenfeld's relatives are quot- ed as saying that his double has been traveling under many aliases, that the double’s real name also is Lindenfeld and that he has spent much time in America. The relatives are reported as claim- ing that the Lindenfeld who is in prison here has no connection with the alleged explosion plot. According to the Jewish newspapers, they ciaim that Lindenfeld, the prisoner. spent much time last sum- mer in ea Galicia posing as an American vice consul and.selling coun- terfeit passports, with counterfeited American vises, to emigrants. Lindenfeld’s passport, said to have been procured in New York, gives his age as thirty-three. When he was ar- rested the prisoner told the police he was thirty-eight vears old. The Polish police profess to doubt the double theory, but are investigating it on account of the age and other dis- crepancies in Lindenfeld’s statements. LINDENFELD CASE REPORT. Partial Explanation of Arrest in Wall Street Bomb Plot. A part of the report from Sylvester Cosgrove at Warsaw on the arrest of Wolfe Lindenfeld there in connection ; with the Wall street explosion has been received at the Department of Justice, Attorney General Daugherty said late yesterd: There was, however, some inter- ruption in the transmission of the message, Mr. Daugherty said, so that the portions received were very un- {satisfactory and nothing would be {made public until the whole report had been received. Director Burns of the bureau of in- vestigation returned to Washington from New York late yesterday and immediately conferred with the At- torney General on the Wall street bomb ¢ After the conference Mr. Daugherty announced that it was not expected the department would have anything further to say in connection with the bomb mystery until later, when probably the entire Cosgrove {report would be availabl i SENATOR SEEKS PROBE OF NAVY EXAMINATIONS Recent Quiz of Reserve Officers Alleged to Have Been Unfair and Unreasonable. Investigation by the _naval affairs committee of the Senate of publisaed charges that the recent examinations of naval reserve officers on duty with the air service to determine their fittness for permanent appointment in the Navy were unfair and unreasonable is pro- vided in a resolution introduced in the Senate this afternoon by Senator Walsh of Massachusettes. Senator Walsh an- nounced that he would ask that tie resolution lie on the table for a day when he would ask for its consideration. It was allowed to do 8o under the rul The resolution set forth that charges had been made that the re- cent examinations were unfair and iunreasonable and that sufficient time make preparations for them. It says that the subjects given in the ex- amination were navigation, steam en- gineering, seamanship and other sub- jects wholly unrelated to aviation, and that proper consideration had inot been given to the ability of the officers as qualified flyers. It further pointed out that a number of officers were about to be reduced in rank because of this condition and that unless proper action was promptly taken the service would lose 200 or more of its best aviators. SECRETARY DAVIS HOPES TO IMPOSE HEAVY FINES Secretary Davis still is awaiting a ruling from the Department of Justice on his recommendation that the maximum fines be imposed on steamship companies that have vio- lated the law regarding passage of allens from other countrigs to the United States when the quotas under the 3 per cent immigration law have been exhausted. The Labor Secretary said he in- tended, if the ruling of the Depart- ment of Justice was a favorable one, to push the cases to the limit and to punish the offenders with the maxi- mum fine under the immigration laws hardship being worked on the aliens who come to this country and have to be deported. P. A. 8. Franklin president of the International Mercantile Marine Com- pany, told the House immigra- tion committee Monday that great expense was suffered by the com- panies under present conditions, b cause of the requirement that re- jected immigrants be transported free to the port of embarkation. -The chiet difficulty, Mr. klin said, was to determine the countrp of origin of immigrants, since they were free to embark at any one of a number of ports. — BANDITS FLEE WITH $10,000.

Chile, December 21.— The Chilean note forwarded to Lima Monday night is interpreted in diplo- matic and political quarters as Vvir- tually certain to bring a reply from Peru embodying a more specific pro- posal for, arbitration of the dispute over the provinces of Tacna and Arica than was contained in the Peruvian answer to Chile's first note. This will pave the way to further ex- changes for a settlement of the long- standing disagreement. The original note from Chile, which started the present diplomatic ex change, proposed a plebiscite to de. termine the sovereignty of the prov nces. Feature of Reply. fon—which Chile jhas would be convenient to know exactly what is the difference over the plebiscite formalities that would oblige the two countries to re- sort to the judgment of another na- tion in order to arrive at a perfect understanding.” is viewed as the fea- ture of the Chilean reply. It is recalled that during the vears of negotiations, Chile has never be- fore gone quite so far as this refer- ing ence to discussion of possible arbitra- tion, having maintained a policy of direct settlement between the two countries, while Peru held out for ar- bitrati The newspaper EI Mercurio, com- menting on this phase of the Chilean reply, says that, while Peru speaks of the convenience of arbitrating the entire south Pacific problem, “our government observes that the only point separating us is the form of { celebrating the plebiscite. declaring | ftselt ready to submit these divergen- cles to arbitration.” It add: “For the first time in the lengthy pute, arbitral proceedings are presented in concrete form.” Counsels Prudence. La Nacion counsels the government to proceed with prudence and to study carefully “the only point in the controversy which might eventually be submitted to arbitration,” adding that Chile must first know in pre- o terms just what interests are nsideredsusceptible of submission “so efficacious an instrument as to % international conciliation.” PRESIDENT DOESN'T WAIT FOR SENATE RESOLUTION !Beports Number of Continental | Americans Employed in Porto i Rico, Anticipating Request. President Harding answered direct- 1y the resolution introduced in the Senate several days ago by Senator King of Utah making inquiry as to the number of continental Americans employed in official positions in Portd Rico. Senator King had read before the Senate this’ afternoon the Pres dent’s letter in which the chief execu- tive said that he was more than will- ing to give all the available informa- tion regarding Porto Rico without awalting adoption by the Senate of' the King resolution. The that forty-nine American continentals were employed in the government gervice in Porto Rico and that there 911 natives. He said that these e would be reduced to forty- five American continentals. He in- formed the senator in the letter that four of the officials are appointed by {the President of the United States. He said that there were 174 American school teachers employed in the island and that the bureau of education now is trying to get 200 more to fill posi- tions, and indicated that they were wanted by the Porto Rican people. Senator King said his resolution was sponsored by published charges that so-called “carpet baggers” were dominating the island. He said that the President’s letter was very wre- assuring and should set at rest the charges. He congratulated the Presi- point qualified residents to positions in _the island. Senator King told the Senate that both parties had been to some extent guilty of appointing the .so-called carpet baggers, who had no direct in- terests in the affairs of the island.
