RADICAL LABOR
TO HOLD MAY DAY
CELEBRATIONS
Mooney and Debs Protest
Meetings Scheduled to Be
Held On Anniversary of
, Carpenter's Success.
By rjnlTemal Service.
New Yor, April 22. May 1 or
"May Day" will be celebrated
throughout the world as a holiday
by the labor and trade element, par
ticularly by the radical and socialis
tic sections.
The significance of this date was
explained by Alexander Trachten
berg, director of research at the
Rand school here yesterday.
May 1 was voted an international
labor holiday at the first interna
tional conference in Paris in 1899, at
which 33 countries were represent
ed, declared Mr. Trachtenberg.
The selection of the date, he said,
was based upon the success of a
carpenters strike in this country on
the first of May, 1886.
Later, of course, he continued
"the conservative element in this
country succeeded in getting, the
first Monday in September recog
nized as 'Labor day' to counteract
the selection of the conference.
Bttf May 1, because it is dedicated
to the righting of wrongs,-whereas
Labor day means only a day of rest.
continues to mean more to the labor
ing class, according to Mr. Tracht
enberg.
It is on this date that the big
Moonev orotest meeting at Madison
Sauare Garden is scheduled to be
held, and it will be remembered that
Eugene V. Debs recently expressed
his confidence that labor would on
that day take action in his behalf.
Bar Meeting In Tampa.
Tampa, Fla., April 22. Plans of a

against punishment of Eugene V,
Debs, Tom Mooney and others were
met today by a proclamation by
Mayor McKav that any such demon
stration would be stopped by the
police. Recently the central trades
assembly refused a socialist delega
tion permission to use the labor

BRITISH HOLD
SECRET OF NON
BURNING GAS
Helium, Discovered by Ameri
can Chemist Has Been Re
Discovered ) in England;
Vital for War.
By MATTHEW F. TIGHE.
(By a Staff Corrcupondrnt of Unlveranl
Service.)
Washington; April 22. Great
Britain has the secret of helium gas,
the discovery of an American, and
up to this time the exclusive prop
erty of the United States govern
ment. No charge is made that a few fed
eral employes were responsible- for
the British government's acquisi
tion of the non-combustibb chemical
or that it was obtained by unfair
methods. Scientists at McGill uni
versity. Montreal, Canada , it was
stated, simply "worked out", the
process.
The gas was discovered by '
Washingtonian named Hildebrand
and perfected hv American sri
entists. It was shipped to Europe
in large quantities when the war was
on. It is absolutely non-infiam
mable and was intended, had the war
continued, to be pumped into di
rigibles, which would then have been
immune from explosion even if hi
by shell fire.
Would Make U. S. Air Mistress.
Sole possession of the gas would
have made the United States the
"mistress of the air" and revolution
ized aerial warfare.
It is now being developed at
special works in Texas and has been
supplied to a number of the new
airships of the British admiralty,
These are Zeppelin types and some
of them have a flying or floating
radius of 8,000 miles. In construe
tion many of them have greater
length than the greatest dread
uoughts. Helium gas was relied
upon by army and navy authorities
here to provide' the United States
with flotation power of sufficient
value to best whatever Great Britain
or France offered in the construc
tion of lighter than air machines.
And this country, they say, with
the exclusive use of this gas. would
have been the most powerful enemy
of any of all ndtions in the event of
future wars
Helium surpassed all expectations
in actual use. It proved its efficacy
in the first few weeks of the war
when it was tried out in a dirigible
near this city, lhe balloon was
riddled with shot and shell, yet the
gas did not explode or ignite. Af
ter this experiment the manufacture
was begun on an extensive scale,
and quantities were shipped abroad,
The secret was supposed to have
been kept in Europe as well as here,
"Rediscovery" is Certainty.
It was said that there was little
question but that the process had
been rediscovered at McGill uni
versity, and that the new British air
ships would be equipped for actual
service with the invaluable gas. The
Canadian physicists, it is believed, re
newed ther search for a non-inflam
mable gas when they realized the
potentialities of helium gas as a war
asset. - - -
Scientists here are unwilling to ad
mit that the British gas is, in all re-
jjpvvi, v,uiupaiauic LU iii tmi.i iv.au
gas, which is now being manulac
tured secretly. They are certain,
howeveV, that Great Britain has a
non-combustible gas and that it is
helium.
The research incidental to the dis
covery of helium was conducted by
the bureau of mines here during the
war and also by a special commis
sion of experts named by the War
and Navy departments. The gas is
evolved from a certain kind of natur
al gas, which was supposed to have
been found onlyvin certain parts of
iexas, . Oklahoma and Kansas. It
appears now, however, that suffi
cient quantities of the natural gas re
quired for the production, of helium
have also been located in Canada.

VOICES VIEWS ON
PEACEMEETING
Stone Says Development of
Inter-Communication May
Enable League to Put
End to Warfare.
Nw York, April 22. Development
of inter-communication promises a
chance that the league of rations
may accomplish its object of insur
ing world peace, Melville E. Stone,
general manager of the Associated
rress, recently returned from the
peace conference, told the memhers
of the news association at their an
nual meeting and luncheon here to-
day.
Mr. Stone doubted if anvbodv
micw wncmcr xne league protect
would succeed. By the modern pro
cesses of inter-communication, how
ever, the nations were inevitably
brought closer together, he said', ex-
tenouig men s visions and giving "a
little promise", that the failure of
the congress of Vienna 100 vears
ago mignt oe toiiowed by some
thing like success."
It was a mistake, Mr. Stone said,
to imagine that there had been an
unpleasant situation between the
peace envoys of the associated now
ers who had broueht to their task a
sincere desire to solve a great prob
lem. Despite the German hopes of
differences among the conquerors,
he added, they had agreed to prin
ciple.
Long Time Credits Necessary.
bescribing a visit to the devastat
ed regions of France, Mr. Stone de
clared it had been "torn by the most
malign and outrageous savagery the
world had ever known." To bring
about its rehabilitation, he asserted,
extension of long time credits by
American manufacturers was essen
tial, a scheme which he said could
be carried out through the banks,
with the federal reserve system to
fall back upon in case of emergency.
in keeping with the Pan-Ameri
can spjnt of the meeting, inspired
by the recent addition or 25 South
American newspapers to the Asso
ciated Press membership, Mr. Stone
stated that this extension of the
service gave assurance of the amity
of the western hemisphere. In like
manner in earlier days, he said, the
organization had been a material
factor in cementing the relations of
the northern and southern sections
of the United States, a union which
made possible the national spirit evi
denced in the Spanish-American war
and re-emphasized in the world con
flict. Pays Tribute To Reporters.
Frank B. Noyes, president of the
association, who acted as toast-
master, expressed belief that when
the peace terms were made public,
it would be found that despite all
the clashes of national interests,
America "will have made good her
word."
Mr.' Noyes, before introducing
Mr. Stone, paid tribute to the work
ing staff of the Associated Press in
Europe, as "among the heroes of
the world war."
"Wherever the fighting was the
fiercest, the devastation greatest,
the danger most imminent, on the
battf e line itself, with . the advance
or with the retreat, in revolution
torn cities, in sections black with
anarchy,Nin freezing Archangel, the
wastes of Siberia or in desolated
Serbia whereVer history was! be
ing made, there were members of
this devoted band, working un
ceasingly, sacrificing life and limb
and health in order that an anxious
world might have tidings of the
day's events."
Addresses were delivered by
Augustin Edwards, Chilean minister
to Great Britain and publisher of a
group of newspapers in his coun
try; by R. R. Ronconi'representing

Girl Refuses to Name Omaha
'Dope' Traffic
Pretty Okie- Bailey, Deprived of Use of Drug by Own
Initiative, Silent About
Encouraged Her, to Continue Habit.
The authorities may never know
the name of the Omaha physician
who contributed to the downfall of
pretty Okje Bailey, the Council
Bluffs girl who related Monday
to United States Commissioner
Ncely the pitiful story jof her experi
ence as a drug addict.
Miss Bailey, who is only 22 years
old, also has refused to give the
names of prominent society men
and women whom she charges
with frequenting the underworld in
their quest for "dope."
The girl on whose testimony Mae
Bradley, a negress, was bound over
fori the federal grand jury 'charged
with violating the Harrison drug
act, has returned to her mother's
home, Eleventh street and Sixteenth
avenue, Council Bluffs.
Cut off from the use of drugs, she
has grown sulleo. She steadfastly
refuses to disclose the identity of
the physician, whom she says en
courages the use of morphine
among his patients. The federal
authorities have given up hope of
obtaining the names of Omaha so
ciety men and women whom Miss
Bailey . declared are customers of
the physician and who, pay . him
fabulous sums for his prescriptions.
Mrs. Mary Bailey, the girl's
mother, has exerted every influence'
she could bring to bear in an effort
to get her daughter to implicate the
Omaha physician, whom she holds
responsible for the girl's downfall.

Cabinei Decides to Send
Delegates With Power
4o Sign Treaty.
Berlin, April 22. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) The German cabinet
in a special session, after consider
ing the second telegram from
Georges Clemenceau, the French
premier, president of the peace con
ference in Paris, correcting thn
false impression created bv his first
note, aeciaed that the peace dele
gation originally appointed could go
to Versailles at the end of the
present week. It was determined
that the date of April 25, first fixed
for the arrival of the German repre
sentatives at Versaille, could not be
adhered to because of the con
fusion over the arrangements.
Premier Clemenceau's second
telegram said his original notifica
tion regarding the German repre
sentatives had been misconstrued
and misinterpreted by Germany. He
declared there was no intention on
the part of the entente to deny- the
Germans the right of negotiation or
discussion.
With this assurance the cabinet
immediately determined to revoke
its decision to send Dr. Haniel von
Haimhausen, with a pair of subor
dinates, in his role of high-class
messenger, to Paris, and reverted to
its intention of sending six delegates
to the Versailles congress, headed
by Count vpn Brockdorff-Rantzau,
the foreign ministed. Dr. Eduard
David, the former socialist leader in
the reichstag, originally selected as
one of the six, is replaced by Herr
Landsburg, the secretary for pub
licity, art and literature, as Dr. Da
vid is ill.
The delegates, it is made known,
expect to be given complete free
dom of movement and unobstructed
means of communication with their
home government.

to maintain sealed lips. ,1 do not
think any one will be able to ore

er for The Bee, "I have my reasons
lor not wanting to talk about this
matter. Sothat ends it."

influences which led her to the drug
habit. If you are sincere in want

tainly must recognize your duty and
tell all you know in order to save
others who are being victimized like
you were. .

SUSPEND "FREE

NORHRUSSIA
Popular Outcry Following
Fantastic Operation of Law
Causes Withdrawal -of .
Regulations.
London, April 22. (Correspotw
dence of The Associated Press.)
The law providing for the national
ization of women in northeast Rus
sia has been suspended in one pro
vince as the result of popular out
cry, according to information reach
ing London frpm Stockholm.
The kranaya Gazeta publishes an
account of the results of nationaliza
tion. The system provides that every
girl on reaching the age of Is must
register her name in the bureau oi
Free Love, after which she is com
pelled to select a partner from
among men between 19 and 50 years
old. ,
A few days after the Soviet's de
cree which women very generally
ignored, two men known -to nobody
arrived in the town and seized two
daughters of a "well known non
bourgeois comrade," declaring they
had chosen them "as wives and that
the girls, without further ceremony
must submit, as they had not ob
served the registration rule.
Many other cases of fantastic
operation of the law. not to speak
of its inhumanities, are cited by the
Gazeta. Enthusiastic for nationali
zation, naturally all males raid whole
villages, seize young girls and de
mand proof that they are not over
18. As this proof is difficult to give,
many of the girls are carried off -and
there have been suicides and
murders as a result
