Soldiers and Sailors
Charge 'Bolshevik.'.
GOTHAM POLICE
International Socialists, a
Meeting in Madison Square,
Rouse U. S. Boys' Wrath.
FLAG'S INSULT IS REVENGED
Wearers of Forbidden Scarle
Are Chased and Pummeled
by Uniformed Yanks.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Hundreds of
soldiers, sailors and marines broke
through a cordon of police surround
ing Madison Square Garden tonight
and attacked International Socialists,
who had attended a mass meeting at
which Bolshevik doctrines were ex
pounded. The men and women leaving
the hall broke and fled as the men
in uniform charged past the police,
but were pursued into the side streets
in all directions.
The attack on the Socialists came
at the close of a meeting which threat
ened from the moment it began to
break into a riot.
Scott Rearing Presides.
It was called ostensibly to protest
against the execution of Thomas J.
Jlooney, but Scott Nearing, who pre
sided, and the other speakers devoted
most of their attention to pleas for
the release of "political offenders.'
beveral men and women were ar
rested for displaying red flags smug
gled into the garden in defiance of
an edict by Mayor Hylan. Large
numbers of men in uniform entered
the building before the doors were
locked with the avowed determination
of preventing attacks upon the Gov
ernment. , They were restrained with
difficulty by police and detectives
from making an assault on the stage.
Scores of fist fights were interrupted
by officers.
Soldiers and sailors who were un
able to get into the meeting sent out
patrols to round up all the men in
uniform who could be found to join
the charge on the Socialists, which had
been planned to take place when the
oratory was ended and the interna
tionalists started for their homes.
Mass Meeting Staged.
Madison Square was the rallying
point for the military. They quickly
staged an impromptu mass meeting
at which speakers denounced the "Bol
shevikL" They were cheered not only
by the men in uniform, but by civilian
sympathizers. When someone called
up "loyal Americans" to charge the
Garden and attack the International
ists several hundred responded. They
were driven back, however, by
mounted police and men on foot who
had assembled. Realizing that they
had failed in the first fight, the sol
diers and sailors resumed their meet
ing and awaited the arrival of rein
forcements. Probably 1000 men of both
branches of the service had assembled
by the time the meeting adjourned.
Police Are Overwhelmed.
The opening of the doors of the
Garden was the signal for a second
charge which the police were unable
to repel. The soldiers and sailors
fought their way past swinging night
sticks and attacked the Socialists who
had packed the big building. Almost
instantly the square was filled with
yelling, running, fighting men. The
screams of women, most of them wear
ing red roses or carnations in lieu of
the forbidden flags, rose above the din
as they clawed and scratched the sol
diers and sailors who were pummeling
the male Socialists.
Mounted police, reinforced by auto
mobile loads of reserves, rushed from
every station bouse within a radius of
miles, struggled valiantly to clear the
square, but made little progress.
Soldiers and sailors, violently an
gered by what they considered an in
sidious attack on the flag they had
sworn to defend, paid little attention
to blows from night sticks. They were
bent on getting revenge from the In
ternationalists, and many of them suc
ceeded. Socialists Are Pursued.
The square was cleared of milling
men only when Socialises by ones and
twos and in groups broke and fled.

Contention That European Victors
. Should Have Most to Say in Ar
ranging Peace Is Overcome.
PARIS, Nov. 25. (By the Associated
Press.) The United States Govern
ment's immense diplomatic success in
obtaining from the allied governments
acceptance of President Wilson's points,
with only one reservation and addition,
is becoming daily more apparent,! as
the preliminaries for the approaching
peace congress are being outlined
largely on the basis of the President's
points.
Colonel E. M. House, the special rep
resentative of. the United States Gov
ernment, when he arrived here, found
little disposition among American, and
European friends to accept as a totality
the framework of peace as expressed
by President Wilson. Some European
statesmen considered that the points
had worked as a good solvent upon
Germany; that they had served their
great purpose in their effect upon Ger
man unity, but that they should not
be observed too closely when it came
to formulating the practical details of
the settlement.
Allies Give Views,
Allied statesmen plainly put forward
the view that as the American tradi
tional policy had been one of detach
ment from European affairs, it was
natural for the American Government
when the war broke out in Europe to
consider it a quarrel among European
nations and to declare its neutrality.
It was pointed out that for two years
and a half the American Government
observed Its neutrality and called the
attention of both groups of belligerents
to violations of sea law. Germany's
offenses became Intolerable and Amer
ica entered the war because of that
reason and because America did have
a community of ideals of government
and of human rights with the allies,
America, as became a great country,
was impelled to put forth great efforts
and she did.
IT. S. Influence Recognised.
Allied statesmen have fully appre
ciated the effect of American arms in
winning the decision. Nevertheless, it
was contended by some this had been
a controversy among European nations
and the winning group, it was sug
gested, supposed that America, having
accomplished her aims, would return
to her detachment and allow the coun-

ORDERS COME FROM EAST
Builders Privileged to Take PriTate
American Contracts No For
eign Deals Permitted;
cancellations of contracts for 29
wood steamers, representing a value
when completed of approximately J19,
525,000, which closed one shipyard and
will affect others, resulted In the Ore
gon district yesterday when orders
went out from the Philadelphia head
quarters of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration . to suspend construction on
all wood vessels not actually under
way. It is said that contracts placed
in the district, embracing ships that
have been finished, as well as those re
maining under contract up to yester
day, represent a total of $68,000,000.
No reason was assigned for the step.
Telegrams conveying the orders gave
builders the privilege of accepting con
tracts from private American interests,
subject to approval of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. In the opinion of
builders that concession, is valueless
at this 'ime, as Americans are not in
the market for tonnage, either wood
or steeL As yet no cancellations have
been reported at steel yards.
One Force la Discharged.
When the order came the Klernan &
Kern Shipbuilding Company, whose
plant is at the foot of Mill street, im
mediately discharged its yard force of
about 200 men. Others are expected to
reduce their forces at once because of
the uncertainties of the future. Other
than at the Kiernan & Kern plant,
where one keel had been placed, with
four ships under contract, there was
only one vacant set of ways in the dis
trict, that being at the Vancouver wood
yard of the G. M. Standifer Construc
tion Corporation, where the hull of the
steamer Bushong was launched Satur
day. There are 13,000 men employed at
wood yards in the district. .
The Chamber of Commerce last night
telegraphed a protest to President Wil
son against the sudden action and
against the restriction enforced of lim
iting private contracts accepted to
Americans. W. D. B. Dodson, secretary
of the Chamber, said builders were con
fident there was abundant foreign busi
ness available and all under allied or
neutral flags, and they wished an op

Arc
. SANFRANCISCO, Nov. 25. (Special.)
With the arrival from Sydney today
of the five-masted schooner Thistle,
Captain Dories, it was learned that
Government officials of this country
and Australia are making an exhaust
ive investigation of the activities of
the I. W. W. on sailing vessels plying
between the Pacific Coast and the com
monwealth. The Thistle is the first of the so
called I. W. W. ships to arrive here
since rumors of the activities of the
organization reached here. The inves
tigation being conducted by the other
government nearly 7000 miles away, it
is said, has resulted in numerous ar
rests and several convictions.
The activity of the I. W. W. on the
Thistle are described as rather mild
and not comparing with the work of
the mutineers on other sailing ships.
According to Captain Dories, the I. W
W. sailors simply took their knives
and cut the ropes and sails to ribbfins
at Sydney when matters did not go
to please them.
According to information, the I. W.
W. are doing everything possible to
hinder the movement of ships and on
a number of occasions have attempted
to murder their officers.
The Sydney advices say that during
a mutiny on one of the American sail
ing ships a sailor attempted to shoot
the captain, but the bullet failed to
find its mark, whereupon the assailant
shot himself dead. It is related that
the I. W. W. mutinied on another ves
sel expected here soon during the out
bound voyage, and only the nerve of
the commander saved the vessel and
the lives of 15 men.
JEWS BEING SLAUGHTERED
Reports of Pogroms at Brzesko, Ga-

NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Reports of
wholesale slaughter in progress against
Jews at Brzesko, Galicia, of cellars
filled with bodies and of Jews being
shot down in the streets, were received
from Copenhagen today by the Zion
ist organization of America.
At Przemysl, the report added, the
Polish legion looted all Jewish shops
and homes, disarmed Jewish militia,
invaded synagogues and sullied the sa

Adolph Behm, of the Jewish national
council at Vienna, telegraphs that Bo

DRIDE CONFESSES
E
John Cyril Liard, 23, Held
for Officer's Murder.
BOTH ARE UNDER ARREST
Blackmailing Plans Revealed
by Papers Found.
WOMAN RELATES STORY
Torn Laundry Ticket Furnllics
Clew on Which Officers
locate Couple.
Through the complete confession of
his bride, whom he married a month
ago, John Cyril Liard, an English
Canadian, is held In the City Jail for
the murder of Frank W. Twombley,
Deputy Sheriff and county motorcycle
officer, who was shot and instantly
killed on the night of November 19 by
an escaping hold-up operator on the
Oregon side of the Interstate bridge.
Liard was taken into custody, in
company with his wife, early last night
by Inspectors Snow, Tackaberry and
Kellaher. The arrest was made at the
Dennlson apartments, 1027 ',4 Belmont
street, where the couple had made their
residence in apartment No. 15 during
the past month. Convinced that they
were on the right trail, the inspectors
took no chances with Laird, but sur
prised and pinioned him before he
could make a show of resistance.
With Liard's arrest the murder of
Twombley not only is cleared up, say
the police, but one of the cleverest and
boldest criminal operators in their ex
perience has been apprehended. Papers
found among his effects, together with
the statement made by Mrs. Liard, are
said to show conclusively that he
planned extensive blackmailing opera
tions among Portland citizens under
threat of death.
Prisoner la Sullen.
Liard was sullen and uncommunica
tive from the moment of his arrest.
But Mrs. Laird, a handsome young
woman of 24, was thoroughly grilled by
Chief Clark, of the inspectors' division.
For a time she was bent on absolute
denial, but he weight of evidence al
ready in the possession of the police,
and the prospect of a long term as
accessory to the crime, finally wrung
from the woman a Confesslo in detail.
"I would not tell," said Mrs. Liard,
in effect, according to Chief Clark,
"if I did not realize that our position
is hopeless. L'ver since the murder I
have trembled for my own life, fearing
lest he would kill me because of my
knowledge. I did not realize what he
was when I married him, but later I
learned."
Mrs. Liard, broken and weeping, told
Chief Clark that on the night of the
murder they proceeded to the Inter
state bridge, where her husband made
her get out some distance from the
bridgetender's office. A moment later
he was back, having completed the
robbery of Bridgetender Herman, ex
claiming: "I got the money."
Their roadster raced for Portland,
said Mrs. Liard, and they became aware
that the motorcycle officer had given
chase, believing them to be speeders.
Pursuit and capture was not in line
with Liard's desperate plan on any
charge. As Deputy Sheriff Twombley
drew alongside, Liard leaned from his
car and shot the officer.
Laundry Ticket Discarded.
As the speeding car approached the
hill above the Portland Flouring Mills,
Liard threw away his overcoat, his
belt, the automatic 38-caliber pistol,
with which he killed the deputy, his
mask and the small false moustache
which he had worn since coming to
Portland. In the package he discarded
was the torn laundry ticket that fur.
nished the first clew to Liard's cap
ture.
The story of the chase is a remark
able instance of crime detection and
coincidence. From the slightest ot
clews the local inspectors wove the
net that trapped Liard.
On the day after the hold-up and
murder, John Le Grande took to police
headquarters a black overcoat, a cap,
collar and tie and letter outlining plans
for kidnaping prominent Portland cit
izens and holding them for ransom.
While police had no reports of an
instance in which the supposed con
spirator had disclosed his hand, they
believed that the stranger was one of
a gang of abductors, who, according to
underworld reports, were planning to
operate in this city.
Inspectors Snow and Tackaberry
visited the spot where the murderer
had thrown away the bundle of ef
fects. There they found "Kid" Maple's
card, which he had given to his fare,
and several cards marked in script,
"Arthur P. Conway, to the Department
of Justice." They also found two boxes
with pieces of waxed rope, such as is
used for window-weights, and some
gags. A torn scrap of paper, marked
"No. 9 to Liard, two B," and some il
legible words.
Slip is Identified.
The inspectors believed the paper to
be a fragment of laundry Blip. At the
Troy Laundry, Superintendent Allen
identified the slip as one from a pack
age delivered to the Liards. The "No.
9" referred to the driver. "Two B"
signified two bundles.
The inspectors hurried to the Den
nison Apartments, where the manager
