For the 6 to 14-year-olds i DAY " OF SCANDINAVIA Sweden in Particalar Overrun, : Says llmmer of Interior 5.—In reply to ‘verbal interpellations in ParHament touching on -the -activities of sples in Sweden O. F. Von Sydow, minister of the interior, said today that the gov- ;.cnu. numbers of whom are at work’ ere.. . A typical example has'just come to light with the expuision from Sweden of a man calling himself Joseph Klein, who passed as a Russian pa- triot.. He made the mistake of con- fiding in men whom he believed to be Russian anarchists. They led him on t6 disclose his plans, which are said ‘to have included among other things the murder of 8ir George Buchanan, British ambassador to Russia, and the ‘destruction of the presses of the Pet- ‘rograd‘ néwspaper Rech., Klein ex- hibited to printers a matrix for the printing of the following circular in én are dragging our fath- erland down'into an abyss. The ac- cursed Eny men are greedily drink- ing the Rusgian people’s blood. Down with the Englishmen! With their gold they have driven the whole world in- to. opposing camps. ‘' Rulers!

It was learned later ' that Klein, ‘although he signed his ‘name on the hotel register in Russian char- An unfortunate feature of the ,sit-’ } uation s that men of this stamp find plenty of material to work on among '{ Russians returning to their country from Switzerland, America and Eng- land. Many of these are patriots who are going back to assist their country in eftablishing stable govern- 1 b effect as soon as they are safely away from the harbor. A well known American who has Just arrived expressed the _greatest surprise at the character and frank- ness of the conversation of a great number of Russians on board the ship ‘who did not hesitate to say they were returning to Russia to take up the work of anarchistic agitation where they were compelled to drop it years ago. Another prominent American who. has arrived here from London, said: ‘““There were Russians in large numbers aboard our boat. Almost all of them talked nothing but German | among themselves, and they were dis- cussing the necessity of immediate peace at any, price, and were elabor- sting their plans for opposing the provisional governmnt to the utmost. Information has been received here ffom private sources indicating that some of the returned exiles, especial- ‘ly those from Switzerland, who went through Grmany, played a prominent part in the Kronstadt uprising. One of the Russian delegates to the Stock- holn sacialist conference will be Alex- andra Kollontay, & woman agitator, who was expelled from. Sweden in 1014 andehad to obtain the king's per- mission to attend the conference here. 'RUSH_POR MARRIAGES ot Gt Bt shi o A‘m Sweethearts at Last Moment. New York, Jume §—The grinding of the marriage mill in . City Clerk Scully’s office at the rate of one wed- ding ;every three’ minutes yesterday | completely tuckered out First Deputy City) Clerk Michael J. Cruise, who 'did the hitching, and Clerks T: C. Wasser- man and Thos. J. Douglas, who kept the records, issued certificates an: acted &s' witnesses. A total of 149 ‘marriage ceermonies was performed There wasn’t any doubt in the mind of anybody. that yesterday’s big rush to:the altar by lusky Young men be- tween 21 and 80 was because today tion day and many of the bridegrooms were. laboring under the impression that Uncle Sam would se- lect unmarried men for soldiers first 'and permit those with brides to re- main ‘at home. Many of the girls who stood for hours waiting for a chance to get into the m chapel confessed they believed thisg to be true. Most of the young men, however, said they didn’t have any WIRELESS STATION ERECTED IN HEXIO ; Authorities Leamn | —_— < ' New York, June 5.—The shipment: of quantities of wireless apparatus to ports in Mexico, with the object of: erecting several wireless stations tx flash to Germany information gath- ered by spies in this country, was dis- covered yesterday by Police Capta: Tunney and federal officials, have in custody the three .men ar- restéed on Sunday for maintaining a rvice for German spics.”’ secret mail A fourth man, a German subject, was taken to police headquarters yestegday and questioned regarding the. ship-, ments. It has been reportéd-that at lesst one wireless statfon powerful enouga ‘to send messages to Germany is‘in operation in Mexico, and federal offi- clals believe this explains the fact that Germany received news of movements of the ‘American destroyer flotilla immediately after their depar- ture from the United States, The be- lief that the men now under. arrest {are part of the organization which has been advising Germany concern- e who the ! Place ‘was ‘the clearing.house for in- formation obtained by German spies in this country, Mexico, and ;South America. The evidence in the hands of the federal authorities shows that reports of thesé sples were smuggied to Perisst by seamen who had beon bribed on ships from South America. From here the information was trans- mitted to Germany. SHEESLEY SHOWS ON UNIQUE TRIP ! Unable, to Securc . Railroad Service, They Come in Autos and Other Mocans of Transportation, Mr. Sheesley, who is the owner of the ghows .operating here this week, | has won a decidedly interesting con- | tention over the railroads of this lo- - cality. .The agents of his shows were out and busy long ago when the snow | covered the grounds upon which ‘his show now rests, and the same prop- erty was being made new in the dis- tant sunny clime of Florida, and after selecting bright spots for the summer ,season appiled to the monopolistic { combination for transportation, pray- :-ers, exhortation and threats were of {no avail and it seemed that the ad-’ i vance force{had ‘wasted their enerzy and the Capt. Sheesley had been de- 1liver.a a foul blow. But he came ‘back with a counter and landed upon the jaw of the alleged monopoly with a {ing American naval movements Was: xnock-out effect. There are twen‘y- ! voted by Commissioner Hitohcock.in holding. the prisoners undeér - heavy ! bail. He sajd: S8 © “After this country had dispatched !a. flotilla of warships. across the ‘At- lantic, the news of their ‘departure ' lana their point of ' destination wa: | sent to Germany at least four dayvs before the arrival of the ships on the other side, and I belfeve that counsel for the goverhmient has it in mind that this may be part and.parcel of the same iniquity. In the: circum- sta; I feél called upon to' fix heavy bail.” . | y \'The names of the men arrested by Captain Tunney on: Sunday,were not ! annopnced, until yesterday.: .The: frst , was Harry F. Perissi, New York rep-\ ! yesetative of the Allgemeine-Electric- ! ftats-Gesellschatt, ‘or German: General . Electric Company, oné of the most powerful corporations .in Germany. The second was Irving Bonaparte, a clerk, employed by - Périssl. The i.third was Axel E. Melchar, a saloon- | keeper of 184 East 1224 street. - . { Although he is an American citizen and has never before been mentioned “in comnection with German plots, Te- i rissi' is considered by thg federal offi- - cials and/police to be the most imper- | tant agent of the German government ment and bringing the war to a favor- | thought of registration day in mind, , who has been arrested since Captain able termination. Many others, how- ever, are anarchistic agitators, ene- -| mies of all law and order who do not hesitate to express themselves to that and were willing, .yes, eager, to answer the summons if their country called them. Then they would wipe thelr perspiring foreheads. iFrang ‘Von Rintelen wag . custody. ken into From the letters and pa- i‘pers which have been seised, it ap- | pears that his offce at, 17 Battery * Elizabeth transported his five cars in his train and as good as iever wheeled into the lime light, in- i cluding a palatial private apartment i Pullman which Mr. Sheesley has for, his own use. . From Elizabeth, N. J,, the New York, New Haven and Hartford ce- ,fused to haul the train at connection points, it is claimed. Mr. Sheesley at once, planned out a campaign, re- fusing to cancel his territory and from show by barge to Bridgeport and by auto truck to Waterbury and by truck and street !service to New Britain. The same forin will be used in the haul to Chic- ! opee and there the train' will be in waitiig on the tracks of the Boston and Main and the show will proceed as ugual. It wag an unusual sight to see the big .eléephant being hauled through the streets in an auto truck.

Mr. Sheesley has'in mind the jdea of doing away with the rail- roads altogether and purchasing a full train of auto trucks, in which in- stance he will be the Barnum of ihe present day showmen. The shows are all clean and well patronized as the result of the free lldvertlalng recelved, Know What You . ‘Are Buying The man who says "]ust gas” may get a good " The Sign of a Relisble Desler - and the World’s Best Gasoline SUMMER HALF HOLIDAYS July 13, this store will close Fridays at noom _September 14, mclusive JUNE SALE OF * Complete Stock and Attractive Low Prices Grasp this opportunity to get your supply of luggage for ¢ summer.
