Anarchist attempts on the life of Attorney General Palmer ' and public men, were denounced in the house by Representative Blanton of Texas, who said he had waited 30 hours in the hope that older members would let the country know what congress thought of a series of outrages against organized government. Mr. Blanton also made a general attack on labor unions, saying he had been receiving anonymous let ters from all parts of the United States "telling me that if I ever opened my mouth against the unions again what would happen to me and my family." "I hope you open your mouths," Mr. Blanton shouted, "and tell those anarchists I do not care if they are labor unionists or not that if they did not stop their practices, and" I hope you tell Mr. Gompers that if he does not purge his labor unions of anarchy and disregard of law, we are going to catch every one of the anarchists, though they are members of unions, and hang them as high as Haman."

HOUSE APROVES INQUIRY INTO COSTJF WAR War Expenditures Committee Increased to 15 Members so That Five Investigations May Proceed at Once. Washington, June 4. Unanimous approval was given by the house to a resolution increasing the war ex penditures committee to 15 members so that five separate investigations of disposition of funds by the War department may be made. The vote came after two hours' deliberation and after the republicans had re fused to permit the democrats to of fer an amenment to the resolution under which the committee mem bership would have been divided, nine republicans and six democrats instead of ten democrats and five democrats. The republican leaders explaine that inquiries were planned into ex penditures in aviation, ornance, camps and cantonments, quarter master supplies and in foreign coun tries. Each inquiry will be conduct ed by a sub-committee composed to two republicans and one democrat. The resolution came before the house from thai rules commit tee as a special order of business. During the deliberation the demo crats charged that the investigations were to be made by the republicans "in search of political capital for the 1920 campaign" and declared they were welcomed by the administra tion. Republican spokesmen, how ever, said the investigations were to be "nonpartisan" and were design ed solely to inform the country what had become of the $16,000,000,000 appropriated for. the War depart ment during thewar. "This is not to be in the spirit of making political capital," said Rep resentative Mondell, the republican leader, "'but to provide an audit so as to inform the people regarding the great expenditures.

Senators Lodge and Borah promptly announced their approval of such an investigation, which, under the resolution, would seek "the names of the persons, corpora tions or interests which have se cured Copies of said treaty and from whom they were secured and ty what methods." The first predic tion was that the measure would be adopted virtually without opposi tion and that an exhaustive inquiry, possibly involving testimony by members of the Paris peace delega tion, would result. Senator Borah also anounced that could he-secure a copy of the treaty from New York he would put it into the senate record and thus give it to the public. He said he had asked for a copy for that purpose and must receive it tomorrow. Physicians and Nurses Off to Aid Unalaskans San Francisco, June 4.

VIENNESE JOURNALS DENOUNCE TREATY Meeting Called to Protest Peace Austria Is Offered by Allies; Say Conditions Couldn't Be Worse. Vienna, June 4. The Vienna newspapers denounce the peace terms. They had not prepared the public for such great territorial losses and had led the people to be lieve that Austria would be treated better than Germany.

The Reichspost says: "The con ditions could not have been worse " Dr. Edward Treichl, director of the Anglo-Hungarian bank, said: "The terms are worse than I had supposed, although I reserve my full opinion until I see the financial terms. The only thing for tho Austrian people is to say: 'We might as well join with Germany, as we are companions in misfortune. We have nothing to lose by doing so.'" The cabinet was called into ses sion Wednesday night and spent the enire night in discussing the terms of the peace treaty, which were ar riving from St. Germain. Army Nurse Receives D. S.

Bertrand, former clerk of the muncipal court, shows a short age which may amount to more than $1,000. We are not ready to state that this is an actual shortage of money not accounted for," said Mr. Ure. "There are many instances of docu ments filed and for which there does not seem to have been fees collected. The accounts were kept in a very haphazard manner. It may prove to be a case of gross carelessness on the part of Mr. Bertrand." Mr. Bertrand's bond of $10,000 is still in force. He was clerk of the municipal court from the time the court was established more than two year ago, until W. B. Whitehorn took charge last winter. Convicted of Murder. Eldorado Springs, Mo.. June 4.

Big Four Spend Anxious Day on Peace Question; Early Action is Desired Private Conferences Held, Seeking to Clarify Situation and Determine Course of Action ; Satisfactory Re sults Hoped for Within Short Time; Likely That German Counter-Proposals Will Be Rejected. (By the Associated Press.) Pari, June 4. Wednesday was an anxious day through out peace conference circles, with both the German and Aus trian treaties in the balance, and every effort is bein" made toward early and united action. The Council of Four considered the Austrian treaty in the morning to complete the military and reparation terms, which were omitted when the document was delivered Mon day. Later, the council turned to the German counter pro posals and called m experts. Many private conferences were also going on, including one be tween Colonel House of the Ameri can delegation and A. J. Balfour, British foreign secretary, all seek ing to clarify the situation and de termine the course of action. The prevailing view of those tak ing part was hopeful of early and satisfactory results. They admitted the conditions were difficult and the differences rather sharply drawn, but insisted there was nothing like an impasse or anything threatening an agreement. General Results Are Forming. Indications were that certain gen eral results are already beginning to take form.

Three hundred and eighty mem bers of the 89th division, nearly half of them Omahans, returned to Omaha last night. All were mem bers of the 340th field artillery, They have had two years foreign service. Interest centered at the station on two returning heroes, one Nels An derson of Dannebrog, Neb., and the other Fifi, a little French dog. When Nels stepped off the train he didn't see a soul he knew. Twenty Swedish girls, all members of the Swedish Lutheran church in Omaha, were waiting in the station for the idol of their congregation, one "Smacks." But "Smacks" failed to arrive. They refused to tell his last name. Dodges Kissing Bee. Instead, Nels Anderson, laden with fighting paraphernalia, stepped into Smacks' place. The galaxy of Swedes recognized their fellow countryman and circled about him. It was the "toughtest" part of the war, to hear him tell of it later. He blushed a deep scarlet at first, but that ruddy hue faded into a pale drab. He told them about his ex periences, since the time he left his little sweetheart in Dannebrog, Neb., until he was mustered out at Camp Dodge. "Let's give him 20 smacks from 20 Swedes," suggested one of the 20 girls, but Nels had fled in the face of danger. Fifi's story was told by Sergeant G. W. Lehr of Central City, Neb. Fifi's Story. "I was billeted with a little Ger man family in Gindorf, Germany," Lehr said. "There I met Nita. a dainty little French miss who had been visiting relatives in Gindorf when the war broke out; in fact, the little German family were relatives. Early in the war, a troop of Ger mans returning from the French front on furlough, brought with them Fifi. She begged them to leave the little pup with her, and they did. It was her one memento of France. She cherished Fifi as her greatest treasure. "I became pretty well acquainted with Nita and when I told her our unit had been ordered back to the states she gave me that one great treasure. Here she is. I'm taking her back to Central City. Fifi is my one relic of the great war." Sergeant Lehr is a member of the 340th Field artillery. That organi zation sailed for France June 13, 1918. First Yankees Leave Siberia on Way to U. S.

S'y companies of the 339th infantry, aggregating 1,600 men, or approxi mately one-third of the American forces on the Archangel front, com prise the first detachment to leave, winter port of Archangel will be rejected, but a number of suggestions may be embodied in the allied treaty, not with ajiy purpose of modifying or softening the docu ment, but for the purpose of making it workable and achieving the su preme end of getting it signed and restoring peace. Certain results also appear to be taking form, namely the fixing of reparations at a definite sum around 100,000,000,000 marks, in view of giv ing the commission indefinite au thority to assess beyond that sum; reducing the period of occupation of the western frontier from 15 to 10 years; readjustment of the Silesia terms, at which Germany was greatly aroused so that the popula tion may have self-determination (Continued on Pare Two, Column Six.)
