The repre sentatives of the vanquished nation met the victors at today's ceremony in the fifteenth century castle of St. Germain to appeal for grace and justice and kindly treatment. No trace of the arrogant spirit with which Count von Brfcckdorff-Rant- zau, head ot the uerman delegation, attempted at Versailles to arraign the allied powers as jointly re sponsible for the war and demanded participation in the negotiations on equal terms marked the speech of Dr. Karl Renner, the Austrian chancellor, who replied to Georges Clemenceau, the president of the conference. The Austrian plenipotentiary, speaking in trench as a concession tn his auditors, did not seek to ex tenuate the guilt of the former Austro-Hungarian government for '"the horrible crime of 1914." He asked only that the full weight of the punishment should not fall solely on the little mountain re pTfblic, which was all that was left of the once mighty Austria, but that it be regarded as only one of eight new republics into which the old Monarchy had been divided and that it be apportioned no more of the penalties than it could bear. Photographer Suffers Mishap The mishap of a photographer who, in the midst of Dr. Kenners speech, fell with a crash of shattered glass into one of the museum cases, and the blunders of the French offi cial translator, who twice during the Oerman translation of the speech went astray, causing gasps of mingled horror and amusement. also impaired the formal dignity of the scene. The Japanese and Chinese dele gates were the first to arrive and take their places at the table. They were closely followed by M. Cle menceau. The others filed in rapidly several minutes before noon and all the plenipotentiaries were in their places except President Wilson and Colonel House. Anxious glances were cast at the empty chairs as the minutes passed beyond the hour set for the ceremony. Feared for President's Safety, Finally an official was sent to learn if anything had happened. The president appeared at 12:10 and word was immediately sent to the head quarters of the Austrians. They entered one by one ten min utes later through a door at the rear of the hall. Dr. Renner was calm and assured as if entering his own house. He walked directly to his seat and motioned his colleagues to their places. The entire assem blage, which had risen up on the entry of the Austrians, seated itself. M. Clemenceau alone remained standing and with scarcely an in stant's pause the session started. Ears which were eagerly strained striking phrases on the origin of the striking phrases o nthe origin of the war or Austria's guilt and punish ment were disappointed, lhe Iiger refrained from any political allusion in his speech; he merely outlined the procedure of the negotiations and explained that only part of the treaty was ready. He asked that any replies or explanations to such parts of the treaties as were laid today before the Austrians be sub mitted in writing within IS days. Speaks in Easy Tone. M. Clemenceau spoke in easy con versational tone, befitting such rou tine remarks, and at the end called for translations, which were given in Italian, as well as German and English.

NORTH PLATTE MIDWAY POINT IN LONG FLIGHT U. S. Army Air Service Plan ning Transcontinental Trip in Bombing Plane. Washington, June 2. An attempt to make a transcontinental flight from New York city to San Fran cisco in less than two days with only one stop en route, will be made by the army air service within the next few days. A Martin bombing plane will be used. The start will be made from Min- eola, L. I. North Platte, Neb., 1,500 miles from New York, has been selected as the midway point. The schedule allows only 16 hours and 39 minutes for the first lap and the departure from North Platte is set for 3:30 o'clock on the following morning. The plane should land at San Fran cisco about 5:58 p. m. Officials here believe the trip should be made easily within the 37 hours and 38 minutes allowed in the schedule. Captain Royn Francis, a flier of long experience both in military and commercial planes, will be in charge of the flight. He will be accom panied by Lieut. Edmund A. Clune and two or three mechanics.

DEALERS RAISE PRICE OF ICE 4 CENTS A HUNDRED Increase Goes Into Effect Without Previous Announce ment; Municipal Stations to Sell at Old Rates. Once more Mr. High Cost of Liv ing has given the public a jolt. This time it is the ice dealers. Without any previous announcement, yester day they increased their prices from 50 to 54 cents per 100 pounds. As heretofore, coupon books will be sold with a 10 per cent discount if payment is made before the tenth day of the month following the sale. Ice dealers contend that the ad vance in price nas oeen made nec essary by reason of the increase in price of everything they have to buy. They point to the fact that thev were paying $48 a ton for hay, $1.50 a bushel tor corn o cents a bushel for oats and $75 to $100 a month to men in the ice plants and on the wagons. It may be cheering to the public to know that ice dealers assert that there will not be any farther advance in prices later on and after the weather becomes hot. Effective Yesterday. The new prices become effective yesterday and were applied by the small as well as the large dealers in ice. While ice prices have gone up with the big concerns and the small dealers, there is a little relief found in the fact that at the municipal plant and at the 17 municipal selling stations, the old prices will main tain. This is the statement given out by R. B. Howell, general man ager. "We have no intention of increas ing ice prices." said Mr. Howell. The municipal plant will continue to sell on the cash and carry plan at 15 pounds for 5 cents, 45 pounds for 15 cents and 90 pounds for 30 cents. "A the prices quoted the city can more than break een on the manu facture of ice and with a very small additional cost could pay the 'ad vance in the price of everything' put torth by the ice dealers. Open New Stations. "We have 12 selling stations in operation now and . will have the other five ready for business before the end of the week Wo nmiro-La that 400 families will be suppl e supplied from each station, or a total of 6,800 in the aggregate. lhe municipal plant has a capac ity of 100 tons of ice per day and in addition we have storage canacity for 9,000 tons. This storaga will serve as a sort of a reservoir and will be drawn upon as the necessity may demand. In this way we will be able to put out 200 tons per day. "Of course we will not be able to handle the entire private family trade of the city, but we will be able to take care of all the people who desire to visit the selling stations, buy their ice and carry it home. "In selling ice at the prices quoted no fortunes are being made, but the plant is mnr than hrrakinc ven. 1 dont know what profit the dealers are making, but if the mu nicipal plant can manufacture and sell ice at 30 cents for 90 pounds and make a profit there ought to be considerable money in selling a similar product at 54 cents per 100 pounds." OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1919." nnTTi CHARGES EUROPE TRAPPING AMERICA Senator Johnson Says Britain and Japan, by Covenant, Are Guaranteeing Own In tegrity Through U. S. Washington, June 2. A charge that the old world powers, led by Great Britain and Japan, are at tempting, through the league of na tions, to trap the United States into perpetually guaranteeing their in tegrity, was made in the senate to day by Senator Johnson, Republican,- of California. The league proposal, declared the senator, has behind it no serious purpose of maintaining peace, but is instead a proposal to maintain autocratic power. He asserted the Paris delegates dared not make good their peace professions by writing into the league covenant a provision to leave war declarations to a popular vote of the peoples affected. "This league of nations with the men who really wrote it," he said, "was meant to maintain peace only in so far as peace maintained for ever inviolate their territories andj their subject population. In a speech, of more than two hours, Senator Johnson charged also that the provision dealing with the Monroe doctrine was inserted in the revised covenant of the league for the purpose of making the doc-, trine invalid; that the American del egates in Paris had written "the blackest page in all our history" by approving the transfer of Shantung to Japan; and that in the back ground of the whole peace negotia tions lurked the sinister influence of the Anglo-Japanese offensive and alliance. Resolution Laid Aside. The senator was not interrupted during his address and after its con clusion his resolution asking for the complete text of the peace treaty was temporarily laid aside. It probably will not come up again un til Wednesday. 10 support his assertion that the Monroe doctrine would be destroyed by the league covenant, Mr. John son quoted a statement by the Brit ish delegates at Paris saying that should any dispute as to the mean ing of the doctrine "arise between the American and European powers, the league is there to settle it. lhe British interpretation of this amendment is given .added impor tance," continued the" senator, "by the voting strength of the various members of the league. With Eng land six votes and the United States one, we may be perfectly certain that the English interpretation of the amendment relating to the Mon roe doctrine will receive caretul and courteous consideration." Quoting utterances of President Wilson against the arbitrary trans fer of peoples from one sovereignty to another, the California senator as serted all of these ideals had been forgotten by the president in accept ing the Shantung clause of the peace treaty. NC4 Not to Attempt Return Trip to U. S. by Air, Daniels Says Washington, June 2. The Amer ican naval seaplane NC-4, which ar rived at Plymouth England, Satur day, thereby completing the first transatlantic flight, will not attempt non-stop or any other kind ot a "'S'1' back t0. the .United States, secretary uanieis said today, lhe seaplane will be disassembled and shipped to this country. The secretary said the navy con templated no attempt at a non-stop transocean flight in the near future as the navy did not desire to make a spectaculuar showing, was not in any competition for transatlantic flight honors and did not favor "stunt" flying. U-Boats Sink 43 Ships of an American Firm New York, June 2. The Interna tional Mercantile Marine company lost 43 steamers of 409,967 gross tons during the war through Ger man submarines and mines, accord ing to the annual report of the com pany for 1918, made public here to day. These losses were all covered by war risk insurance, and the com pany's operations for the year showed gross earnings of $38,042,093 and net earnings of $11,493,074. w i GERMANY WILL RECEIVE ALLIED ANSWER FRIDAY l Hun Proposals Will Be Re fused; Must Sign Treaty by June 25. Paris, June 2. The reply of the allied and associated governments to German counter proposals, the Echo de Paris declares, will be handed to Count von Brockdorff Rantzau on Friday. It will con stitute refusal of the German pro posals. The Germans, the newspa per adds, will be told they must either accept or refuse the allied conditions before June 25. proTestson new hospital more definite Residents of West Farnam Up in Arms Against Proposed Plan of Dr. Palmer Findley. Protests from residents living on Thirty-ninth street, between Far nam and Davenport streets, are be coming more definite against the proposed location of a hospital by Dr. Palmer Findley, on the east side of Thirty-ninth street, just north of Farnam. A delegation of men. headed by H. H. Baldrige, John F. Stout, E. G. McGilton and W. D. McHugh, appeared before the city council last week and ' viarorouslv protested against the establishment of a hos pital in this residence district. "The council referred the matter to the city planning board, with directions that the board report back its rec ommendations within two weeks. lhe women of this community have taken the matter up and they intend to appear before the planning board Wednesday afternoon, to pre sent their reasons why a hospital in their neighborhood would mar its residential exclusiveness. Mrs. Hall Protests. Mrs. Mathew A. Hall, 115 South Thirty-ninth street, is one of the protestants who is outspoken on this subject. lt is a pity, she said "that a street that has been a resi aence street tor so many years should be disturbed in this manner. uur street nas always been a resi dence neighborhood and we have all beautified our homes, and thus we have helped to beautify the city. We have lived for 23 years in our home and others have lived in their homes many years. Improvements have been made with a view of es tablishing a permanent residence section. I feel that a hospital would not help our street, but that it would be a detriment. I feel that our street is one of the show places of the city. We have kept the street up and have been good citizens and we do not like the idea of a hospital being located on Thirty-ninth street. Mrs. C. H. Pickens, 112 North Thirty-ninth street, another protest- ant, also voiced her objections: I can not see why this hospital should be located at the proposed site. The matter came without any warning to us. From every point of view it would be undesirable. It would spoil our residence district. It would not be pleasant to have it so close to our homes. We have lived here 20 years and have been striving in every way to save our street for a residence neighborhood. Want Restricted District Mrs. George A. Joslyn, Thirty ninth and Davenport streets, is with her neighbors on this protest al though she does not live as close as others to the proposed hospital site. The property owners living on Thirty-ninth street, between Farnam and Davenport streets, are seeking through the city planning board to have the street declared a restricted residence zone, to preclude the in trusion of any structure not within the classification of residences. Until the city planning board shall have acted in the matter the city building department is withhold ing a permit for the hospital. Great Britain Soon to Float Victory Loan London, June 2.

"Oh, boy, we never saw anything like that in France," shouted one of the 300 casuals marooned in Omaha owing to the wreck of their train enroute to California. The remark was brought forth after seeing the opening performance of King Ak-Sar-Ben's Den show last night. The visiting soldiers were special guests. The show is bigger and better than ever, as was .attested by the applause of the 2,000 members present at the opening performance. Speeded up by the revolving stage and other new equipment there was not a quiet moment. The only handi cap to the speed of the show was the numerous encores demanded by tne audience, i ne old stars are back and better than ever in the new production. The saxaphone band "brought down the house.". Membership Large. The season opens with the biggest membership in history and about double the membership at the close of last season. The membership is now 3,141. A drive was started for 5,000 members. The added members are desired because of the expense of the new Ak-Sar-Ben field. The membership is enthused over the project and as sured the governors that the $500, 000 desired, to be expended this year would be raised in short order. After the show, when questioned, "Dad" Weaver said, "Don't tell them a word about it. Make them join its the best show ever seen in Omaha and I am satisfied they will get their money s worth on their first night." Gus Goes Scouting. While the loyal subjects were teeding the inner man and prais ing the performance, Gus Renze was seen sneaking out of a back door with a glum face. "Just tell them I am leaving town on a midnight train and will not be back until they forget the opening," said Gus Renze. "If they want to shoot anybody it will have to be the actors. But I will promise this be fore leaving, inside of four weeks I will have a show that will equal the Winter Garden." y No show will be given next Mon day night. The performance has been postponed to Wednesday, June 11, when the State Bankers' associa tion and the Nebraska undertakers will be special guests- The rough spots which are few and far between will be polished off before the next show. The cast promises to be seen in mid-season form for the special guests. Among the bright lights in the 1919 show were "Hank" Dunn, Frank Dunn, Frank Latertzer, Oscar Lieben, Walter Adams, and other stars of previous shows. Everett Buckingham and Charles Black of the Board of Governors briefly out lined the plans of the organization for the coming season.

S : ATTORNEY LUL1-1L I EidLArLd DEATH OR INJURY American Radicals Let Loose Reign of Terror in Eight Principal Cities Throughout Country; Bombs Aimed By Anarchists Against Men Who Had Directed Forces of Law Against Them Fail to Claim Intended Victims. Washington, June 3. Another attempted reign of ter ror, directed chiefly against public officials who have been active in their prosecution, was made by American radicals shortly before last midnight. A bomb explosion which dam aged the residence of Attorney General Mitchell Palmer, in the fashionable northwest section of Washington, but which apparently resulted only in the death of the bomb planter, was followed at brief intervals by similar explosions in seven other cities in a belt extending from Cleveland to Boston. Attorney 1 ienera for Whom Assassin's Bomb Was Intended Philippine Islands to Ask Membership in the World League Washington, June 2. The Philip pine Islands will apply for n'ember- hip in the league of nations imme diately after receiving their inde pendence and will regard such mem bership as sufficient protection from outside aggression. in making this statement today at a joint meeting of senate and house committees, Manuel Quezon, president of the Philippine senate and head of the mission sent to this country to urge independence, de clared there was no reason to fear an attack by the Japanese. The peo pie of the islands did not anticipate trouble from Japan, he said, adding that while they could not resist powerful attack alone now or with in ten years, they would be able eventually to protect themselves from all invasions. Answering senator Harding, re publican, of Ohio, Mr. Quezon said the Filipinos were ready to accept independence without any protection from the united States.

Cleveland and Boston, cities in which bomb outrages occurred were Pittsburgh, Paterson, N. J.; West Philadelphia, New York and Newtonville, Mass. West Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were subjected to two separate ex plosions. Bombs intended by anarchists for men who had directed the force of law against them, pronounced sen tence against radicals or introduced legislation intended to check their machinations, failed in every case to claim their victims. In several cases, however, families of public officials and the public officials themselves experienced narrow es capes. The death toll of two taken in the Washington and New York explosions recoiled upon instigators of the reign of terrorism, according io nrsi conclusions reported Dy tne police. In some instances innocent pedestrians were injured more or leu Ririmiclv .. . . Police Discover First Clue." What may turn out to be the first clue leading to identification of the anarchists was obtained in this city and Boston, where the police dis covered circulars and handbills signed "The anarchistic fighters." The bill, serving warning that a general war was to be waged against leaders of society, as so ciety is now organized, was the only clue reported at an early hour Coming on the heels of the nation wide May day plot, secret service officials could only interpret ex plosion following explosion as an organized outburst, without much doubt planned by the same group of radicals as had engineered the out rages perpetrated last month. The bomb planted under the steos of the home of the attorney general at 2132 R street, in the fashionable northwest section of Washington. wrecked the dwelling, smashed in the windows of adjoining houses for a block, but injured no one with in the Palmer residence. Find An Empty Suitcase. An empty suitcase, found near the entrance, and a band bill signed "The Anarchistic fighters." printed on red paper, worded in inflamma tory fashion and serving notice of intent of its authors to begin gen eral war on leaders of society, was tne only clue available at a late hour tonight. The bodies of the men killed were literally shredded over the block and driven into the asphalt pavement.' "The only way I can reconstruct the incident," said Major Pullman, superintendent of the capital police, at the end of his preliminary in vestigation," is on the theory that the explosive blew up just as it was being deposited in the door way. It is possible, but unlikely, that it was a passerby involved." Mr. Palmer and other members of the family were at home, but escaped any injury, though the front of the residence almost collapsed with the force of the explosion. They were on the second floor pre paratory to retiring at the time. Corpse Thoroughly Scattered. So thoroughly was the corpse of the man killed scattered that sur geons had difficulty in ascertaining whether one or two persons had been involved. Pieces of two separate firearms were also located, one an automatic pistol and the other a revolver. The suit case was of cheap con struction. The hand bill, which was grease spotted, was headed in uarge type "Plain Words." It opened with the statement, "the powers that be make no secret of their intention to stop the world wide revolution in America," and concluded, after an nouncing its acceptance of a chal lenge to some kind of a war, with a printed signature "The Anarchistic fighters." Besides teannar awav the resi. cence front, the explosion jolted out of place the stone steps leading 'trp to the first floor level. Remnants of shabby clothing worn by the man killed were scattered, sections being found over a radius of 100 feet, and plastered on an auto which hn- pened to be passing at that moment. streets near the Palmer home (Continued on fin Two, Cduta Twa
