This statement wus greeted with laughter. Irish control of education, Prof, Huyes said, would be complete, and the history of 1916 could be tuught as t ought to be tuught and could not tuught now.

He was always predicting things; the New York police had thrown him out of his employment as a “stool pigson” Jong before because they found him @rranging himself for the semblance of an industrial explosion he had “predicted.” occur in Wall Street, Sept. 16, fsllow- 4ng this prediction, Lindenfeld hid way from Burns and Burns men. A statement mide by him to one of the n executives of the New York police who was visiting buildings in the vicinity of the explosion 4 few Gays later may explain what Linden- feld was doing in this period of hiding from Burns. “Linde buttonholed me at the end of an unfrequented corridor,” said this officer. “He had been of some Uttle service to me before the Detec- ™ tive Bureau found out how dangerous © he was as an informant. He appealed : to me to help him. “ have done some work for + Burns,’ he said, ‘and he knows | have # some connection with radicals. Now, ‘Burns has thousands of dollars to spend in solving this case, ' to Burns with some inside make a lot of money. When an explosion did actually] sage cept by sight or through the descrip- itons of their associates; ho had no nomes, He persuaded Mr. Burns to send him to Warsaw and Russia to tnd these plotters, get them to make incriminating statements and get their names, Once he was safely abroad, Lin- denfeld settled down in Warsaw as a passport broker. A charge of em- beaziement was made against him to the Polish police. That was when he fled from his hotel with no bag- ‘and even hatless, leaving his bill unpaid. Mr. Burns sent Cosgrove to trace Lindenfeld, after an examination of papers seized at No. 170 Bleecker Street last April showed Lindenfeld had credentials as a delegate to the United States of the Third Interna- tlonale, information which may easily have caused suspicion t! Lindenfeld had been “roping” the Burns agency and th Government to get secrets for his Soviet friends in Russia. Cosgrove, after finding that mak- ing an intimate friend of Lindenfeld yielded nothing about the explosion, resorted to the tactics to which Lind- enfeld has never failed to respond— choking and public beating. To ths old “confession” made to Mr, Burns here, Landenfeld, the despatches show, promptly added the names of six persons, t women and four men, with a yarn of a blacksmith from East Fourth Street as manu- facturer of the bomb—which Mr, Burns, himself, publicly character- ised as “Du! tad } formation I can ¥ ‘s sake tell me what you keepii jay from him until 1 4 fe eomething worth while.’ ” A little later, according to Mr, himself Lindenfeld did appear ‘with a lot of plausible but hazy in- at the Burns offices.

BOLSHEVISTS DENY FINANCING PLOT Karl Radek, Lenin’s Representative, Brands Lindenfeld’s Story as False. | MOSCOW Dec, 22 (United Press).— Kart Radek, personal representative of Premier Lenin, to-day categori- cally denied the reports that Soviet money wa* involved in the plot to blow up Wall Street. William J. Burns of the American Departmen of Justice charged in in- any rate the treaty gave Ireland full executive control over the country’s resources. Sean Moylan, opposing the treaty, said he did so as a convinced Re- publican. He declared it was a weapon which would not wipe out British interests from Ireland, but would in reality consolidate them. Ireland, he said, was asked to aban- don her brethren of the North “in the game loathsome way” as the British had agreed to abandon their friends in the South, to what their Ministers had called “the murder gang.” Some of the members had remarked, said Moylan, that they were entering the British Empire with heads up, while others said it was with hands up. What he said was: “Hands off the Republic!” If Lloyd George waged war on Ireland to exterminate Irish interests, it should not be forgotten, he said, that it would mean the ex- termination of British interests as well. The Da!l at 1 P. M. adjourned until 3.30 o'clock, Contrary to the usual custom, an- other opponent of the treaty, Deputy Maloney of Tipperary, opened the afternoon disouasion. Maloney said he would not vote himself into the British Empire. “1 say, damn the treaty!" he ex- claimed. Prof. John McNeill, who resigned the chair to take te floor, followed with a strong argument in favor, of ratification, Deputy Liam Roisite of Cork sup- ported the treaty. He said his vote would be no violation of his oath, for the oath he took was not to the republic but to Ireland. Up to the opening of the session to-day, twenty-nine members had given their views on the treaty. Fif- teen favored the treaty and thirteen were against it, while Dr. Patrick McCartan, the “First Ambassador of the Insh Republic” to the United States, declared his neutrality. se aa AR. R.

Attorney General Charges Organizations Have Been Formed to Keep Up Costs WASHINGTON, Dec, gation of retail prices of food, shoes and clothing in all parts of the coun- try was ordered to-day by Attorney General Daugherty, Mr. Daugherty said that in many localities prices ure too high, retail- ers’ profits were “unconscionable” and that every effort would be made to put retail prices on the proper level. The Attorney General instructed Director Burns of the Bureau of In- vestigation of the Justice Department to assign men as soon as possible to various parts of the country to col- lect information upon current retail prices of food, fuel, shoes and cluth- ing, and at the same time to report the wholesale prices of corn, wheat, ‘beef, meats of all kinds and on the | prices of food. Daugherty declared, retailers have | organizations which tend to heep} prices high. “There isn't a doubt in the world,” > sald, “that all over the country retailers have an understanding.’ The Attorney General said he in- tended to go after organizations op- erating contrary to the law and par- ticularly professional organizers who sold new schemes for beating the law through organizations which con- ceal their real purpose behind a declaration of an association to ad- vance competition, Prices, Mr. Daugherty said, would never go down to their pre-war level, but they could be brought into the proper relation with reduced wages and reduced costs of foodstuffs. Publication of comparative prices in different localities, he asserte3, would do much to right the situation, and he said it was planned to pres- ent the data gathered to the various States for local action with’ the co- operation of the Federai Government where necessary. Also, he added, - would prob.'ly ask the assistance of Secretary Hoover. ——- sew. Mr iT!

S. XMAS GIFTS Heavy Import Tax Is Often Far Beyond Means, and Ban Is Put on Luxuries. BERLIN, Dec. 22 (Asscciated Press).—Germans who have received Christmas gifts from America find little cause to be grateful, and many have refused to accept their pack- ages because of having to pay a heavy import tax, since most of the ei{ts are classed as luxuries, For a half pound of tobacco and half a dozen cigars, the import tax amounts to from 300 to 400 marks, which is far beyond the average Teuton’s means. The Post Offices are holding the packages, hoping the recipients may change their minds. Luxury gifts have been banned by most Germans, and scores report that their stocks have been virtually un- touched in the last few weeks, Ger- mans have bought snirts, socks ties. collars, shoes and food for thels friends au! warm clothes for the children, since the prices of toys and candies are prohibitive.
