(‘Speoi: Staff Correspondent : iF RT evening World.) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1—A political trick is seen in the plan to postpone consideration of the soktier bonus on the floor of the House until May 17. It is believed that the House Republican leaders, who influenced the caucus tast night to (postpone consideration of the bonus untt! two goks before adjournmont, nit upon is manner of disposing of the met- ter for the session. ‘The House will, according to infor- mation leaking through from the inner circles, pass the onus bill, knowing full well that it will not have a ghost of a chance to be jammed threugh the Senate in the week or ten days which wi intervene before recess for the national convention is taken June 1, ‘There is very definite opposition to the bonus on both sides of the aisle in the Senate and with the untimited debate, no less than the deliberate manner in which the Senate con- skders Jarge appropriation measures, there is hafily a chance for the bill to be enacted before recess. aqThe much advertised fight between advocates of a sales tax and sponsors of the scheme to make the war proft- teers bear the burden of the soldiers’ bonus was a flivver when the Repub- licans of the House met in caucus last night. But there was a diver- sion which made those present for- ret about their anticipation of a keen scrap on the plan of taxation, A neat little $300,000,000 “joker” hidden away in the tentative draft of the bonus bill. by a coterie of Westerners who are pledged to their constituents to secure Gov- ernment aid to “put over” huge reclamation projects in the West- ern States, was dragged into the light by Representatives Wood of Indiana Little and White of Kansas, and others, and cuffed land kicked about in a way that brought blushes to the cheek of Floor Leader Frank L, Mondell, who had to bear the brunt of the attack. When the Sennnegamblan in the woodpile was exposed to view he was roughly treated in the presence of his friends, and not even Mondell had the temerity to come to his defense, As a result {t may be safely predicted that ho promise of certain Republicans in the House to the owners of Western lands to secure Government aid for reclamation projects under the guise of lending the soldiers a helping hand, will not be redeemed When the assault on the reclama- tion “joker” took place Mr. Mondell and {ts other sponsors sat silent. The States which would have benefited by the expenditure of $300,000,000 of Government money on arid lands are Wyeming, Col- orado, Arizona, Nevada, Washing- ton, Oregon, New Mexico, Okla- homa and Utah. These States, nome of the jeakers showed, contributed an aggregate of only 176,000 soldiers to the war. New York @ sent 465,000 men into the service and there would not have been the slightest benefit to had the recia- pped through, of the rectamation movement dates back to a conference A@oatinued on Becond Page.) REPORT CARRANZA READY FOR FLIGHT AS REVOLT GAN | Washington Hears Mexican Ruler May Reach This Country SAN \AN'TONTO, Texas, May 1—- {The Mexican Presidential elections eet for July 4 have heen postponed ecause of activities of Revolution- ists, a Mexico City despatch to La Prensa, Mexican newspaper ‘here, de- Glared to-day, WASHINGDON, May 1—Reports received here are to the effect that President Carranza of Mexico is pre- Paring to leave that country. Plans have heen made to watoh for his ar- rival should he reach the United States. AGUA PRIETA, Sonora, May 1 (The Associated Press).—Mexico ts honeycombed with revolution, and in- stead of the “steel ring” of “soldiers President Carranza of Mexico an- nounced would be put around Sonora, the first state to secede from his ad- ministration, the rebels have put a “stegl ring of revolutionary soldiers about Mexico City and in every state except one,” Gen. A. I, Villareal said here to-day in making public what he termed the accomplishments of the revolution in leas than one month, Genera] Villareal formerly was con- stitutional governor of Neuvo Leon and military governor of the state of Neuvo Leon, Tamaulipas and Coa- huila, He was president of the Aguas Calientes convention which selected Carranza to be President of Mexicp. General Calles issued a statement which said, in part: “The revolution is sweeping for- ward beyond all expectations, In less than ninety days Carranza will be deposed. Justice once more will pre- vail then In Mexico, The Carranza forces are revolting so rapidly there is na_ fighting. This shows the strength of justice of our movement. | “In every state there are reports of revolutionary movements of more or less degree,” said General Villa- real. “The revolution is gaining more rapidly than any previous one in the history of Mexico. It will succeed and in between sixty and ninety days Car- ranza's administration will have passed into history. “The evolutionists have pledged themselves for what they believe just. Foreigners, alike with citizens of Mer- ico, are offered full protection and justice.” The revolutionists claim they have between 6,000 and 7,000 troops under their command In Chihuanua. These include infantry, cavalry and “de- fense sociales” or home guards, They say they also have 100 machine guns and fourteen “cannon of different calibre.” neni CROWN PRINCESS OF SWEDEN DEAD ton- | Former Princess Margaret of naught Passes Away Stockholm To-Day.

Homes of the Rich and Public Buildings Guarded—Two Arrests Made. With ery resource of the city, State and Federal authorities alert for the suppression of any attempt by communist agitators to start public disorder as part of the world-wide May Day demonstration to-day only two arrests of trifling tmportance were reported here, and neither of them was caused even remotely by actual public disturbance. ‘There was no symptom of the loud- ly predicted “rent strike” in which a destructive outbreak of tens of thou- sands of radical opponents of legal rent-paying was foretold, particularly in the Bronx. Le B. 3. Blickman, President of the Greater New York Tenants’ League, who is In direct touch with more dis- sruntled tenants than any oné man fn the city, informed The Evening World that the. fact of the matter seems to be that Mr. Hilly of the rs Committee on Rent Profiteer- ing is without ammunition and in order to get his name in the paper ls hunting ghosts and seeing poasibic “general strikes." ‘The usual May Day meetings of working men and women and the So- cialist Party were held throughout the city. Reports from all of them as they gathered and listened to speeches showed they were orderly though enthusiastic. The Socialist and I. W. W. meet- ings were held at 2 o'clock this after- noon at various halls on the east side and on Seventh Avenue, and there are nine maas meetings scheduled for to-night. It was amsumed that the speakers in these gatherings would, like those who addressed the daylight meetings, make much capital of the action of the Legislature in practi-) cally digfranchising the Socialist Party. The meeting of the Socialist Labor Party at Cooper Union at 2 o'clock was sparsely attended. Only about 200 were in the hall when the meet- Ing opened, though the programme promised orations by J. P. Quinn and others. ‘Though a meeting was widely ad- vertised to be held in Rutgers Square Park and police had been detailed to keep order, no speakers or committee- men of the Socialist Party appeared and for the first time in many years the neighborhood lacked any sort of May Day diversion, Two thousand attended a Socialist Party meeting at Sackman Street and Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, and listened quietly to a speech in Rus- sian and English by Alderman Ship- lacoff, and others speaking in Rus- sian only, There was no advocacy of violence but much emphasis on the right of the Socialists to be repre- sented at Albany, ‘The alarming notices sent out from Washington of a Communist spro- gramme of violence to be directed personally against prominent antag- onists of revolutionary tendencies was not borne out by any happening in this city or its suburbs PLACARDS ADVOCATE STRIKE TO ASSERT LABOR RIGHTS, | Placards advocating a general strike jto “aasert (he strength and the rights lor labor” were generally posted in the tenement districts overnight, inj spite of the vigilance of the police, and there was a successful distribu- tion of hand@bills of similar purpose garet of Connaught, died here this afternoon < LONDON, May 1.—The Doke of Gon- naught ‘of the death of news In Stockholm. of hia dasshicy, Crown Princess Gustave Adolph of ‘Awete |amidst' hundreds of congracclutory. me rgd went him on hia seventioth Mirth- in letter boxes, veatibules and under) store doors | One of the two arrests was that of | Frederick Hammer, a machinist | No, $18 West 29th Street, who si was born | (Continued on deoo 4 |50 WARSHIPS IN LINE! ——— ' Gobs Return From Winter} Cruise and Will Get Shore Leave at Once.

Because of the unfavorable weather only @ smali crowd lined the sea wall. While the Armada was not unher- alded, not a gun from lany of the forts boomed out a welcome shot. From the fort: in the Narrows the intelligence was received that the salute to the fleet would come from Fort Jay on Governors Island, At Fort Jay it was said that no orders to fire a salute had een received. ‘The procession passing the Battery was headed by Destroyers Nos. 289 and 290, over which hovered two sea- planes.

Secretary Daniels was aboard the Pennsylvania with Admiral Wilson, Rear Admiral Glennon, command- ant of the Third Naval District, ac- companied by his aide, Lieut. Com- mander Langworthy, went out to the Pennsylvania in his barge and brought the Secretary ashore. On board the phips of the fleet are 15,000 sailors, who will take turns at their holiday ashore, ‘Times Square knew of the orrival of the fleet before it passed the Bat- tery. ‘The movements of the ships were reported by wireless telephone to the radio tower in Times Square and then conveyed to the great crowd in the square through an amplifier. ‘Phen the crowd was treated to a concert by the bands on the various vessels of the fleet. There were Qursts of jazz which set feet to mov ing on the sidewalks and then the strains of the ‘®uwanee River.” It had ‘been announced that Secre- tary Daniels would deliver an address, which would come by wireless tele- phone, but when he began to speal: there was 90 mudh interference from the other ships as well as local dis turbances that omy a word two was audible, ‘The flagship and the main body of the fleet had been preceded earlier in the morning by the Roohester, head- ing fifteen destroyers, the Black Hawk, with four mine layers, and ‘he Bridge, the ammunition ship.
