Ivanhoff domicile. This federal agent, intelligent department men an nounced today, disappeared about two weeks ago. What became of 'him Is unknown to them, his brother offi cials said. They are conducting a widespread aearch for him. During the time that Ivanhoff was under observation, the intelligence men said. It was discovered that he was a manufacturer of bombs. Among these bombs, the officers aaid, were the 3 which became known through out the country as the Gimbel bombs, because they were sent In wrappings purporting to come from Gimbel bro thers store in New York. These wrappings, officers said, were faked and Gimbel brothers had no connec tion with the handling of the Infernal machines. The Gary officials said they had discovered that these 3 bombs were carried to New York from Gary in suitcases. Ivanoff, they said, was an expert electrician employed In a large mill near Gary. There they claimed he started his bombs, taking them home for finishing. His plans, the officers asserted. Included finally destruction of the factory where he worked. Anl Kept Seeret. The cache of the dynamite and its amount was not made public today, but an official said he presumed there was enough to "blow about all north ern Indiana off the map.

Ramans and Men of Former Ene my Nationality Refused by American Consols Abroad. (Ceprright by the New Tork World. Pub lished by ArrtBcmcot. LONDON. Oct. 14. (Special Cable.) The most rigid supervision is being exercised by American consuls to pre vent bolshcvists and other European undesirables from emigrating to the L'ntted States aa seamen. Even American seamen desiring to enter the American merchant marine in foreign parta after discharge from foreign vessels must prove their Iden tity. No seamen of former enemy na tionality are acceptable. Realising that bolshevist agents would try to buy American vessels, especially in Scandinavian ports, the TL'nited States government some time ago sent out general orders as to who Should and should not be employed on American vessels, and every customs officer was warned to be on the alert. There is now ample evidence to show that besides Russian revolution aries, many Europeans, anxioua to get to America with Us higher wages, had figured on shipping aa seamen. They have met disappointment. In all Cnited kingdom and particularly in continental porta Russian seamen hsve been turned down. The United States government has a list of undesirables, who. it is be lieved, are anxioua to go to America, and la closely watching them. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.

The homes of Justice Weeks, who is trying the case of two alleged an archist newspaper editors, and Mr. Rorke. who is directing the prosecu tion, were closely guarded last night as a result of the declaration of tbe circular that they "may as well drop their high positions, for they will have to pay the price for every worker killed or wounded." Guards also were placed about public buildings regard ed as likely targets for anarchistic bombs. ANZACS ALTER BASIC LAW Australian Parliament Given Con trol Over Industrial Affairs.

Premature announcement in a Chi cago paper this morning of some .fea tures of the Gary story, military au thorities there said. had partly thwarted their plans for clearing out what they had reason to believe was one of the central committees of dy namiters In this country. This story aaid that Alexander Ivanoff had been arrested aa the principal bomb maker. Colonel Mapea. commander of the fed eral troops at Gary, announced this forenoon that Ivanoff had not been arrested but that authorities were looking for him. Army intelligence department officials said that ivanoff was the Gimbel bomb maker. Near the scene of the explosion of one bomb some months ago. these authorities said, was found a scrap of a newspaper printed in Chicago. The paper's entire subscription lists were obtained and the subscribers' names studied. One name was Alexander Ivanoff. who waa not only a sub scriber but a contributor of r-.dical articles. Ivanhoff lived in Gary. First, In telligence officers said, it was dis covered thai he had moved three times In one month. because his neighbors in Gary professed to be scandalized at the number of strange men. each carrying a suit caae. s-en entering Ivanhoffe place.

Inclusion In the permanent railroad legislation of a provison to penalize strikes of railroad employes was decided upon late today by tne senate interstate commerce committee by a vote of 14 to 1. The committee did not enter into the details of the anti-strike legisla tion at its meeting today, the vote be ing merely on the question of adopt ing the principle of penalizing rail road employea for striking. Senator Stanley, democrat of Kentucky, cast the only opposing vote, declaring be did not believe anti-strike provisions could be in forced. The committee vote was regarded as making certain inclusion in the final railroad bill of an anti-strike clause somewhat similar to the clause of the Cummins bill proposing fine snd imprisonment for concerted ac tion of employes interfering with in terstate commerce. The phraseology of the anti-strike clause is expected to be agreed on late thia week. Exeeaa Earnings Discussed. Other steps toward reporting out the railroad bill, probably this week were taken today by the committee in determining distribution of excess railroad earnings. In accordance with a recent vote In favor of a provision directing the Interstate commerce commission to fix rates sufficient to insure rail roads a return of 5 per cent upon value of their property as determined by the commission, plus one-half of 1 per cent for maintenance, the com mittee today voted on disposition of earnings exceeding thia 6 per cent re turn. By a vote of 10 to S. the committee decided that of earnings of railroads between ( and 7 per cent, one-half of 1 per cent may be retained by indi vldual carriers toward maintenance of individual improvement funds, with the other one-half of 1 per cent to be transferred by the railroads to the federal transportation board to com pose a general, national contingent fund. Other Allotments Made. Thia general fund would be distribu ted by the board for the maintenance or Improvement through loans or otherwise of railroads deemed worthy of assistance. Of excess earnings of railroads over 7 per cent on net value the committee decided that one-fourth shall be re tained by the earning carriers for their own improvement f -ds and three-fourths given to the board's general fund. The committee also approved a pro vision that the individual carriers, from excess earnings over per cent, may accumulate reserve funds up to a maximum of 5 per cent of their property value. When this E per cent limit is reached and maintained, one third of further excess earnings may be retained by individual carriers and two-thirds must be transferred to the federal contingent fund. "IS WORLD." HE SAYS After Twenty Years' Suffering Owens Ends Troubles By Taking Tanlac. EX SDLDIEfl WINS APPEAL FORECLOSURE DURING ARMY SERVICE AXXCLLED. "I suffered for twenty years and could find nothing that would stop my troubles until Tanlac came my way," said John Owens, a well-known longshoreman who lives at 1282 East Tenth street, Portland, Oregon, when seen by a Tanlac representative re cently. "About twenty years ago my trou bles began," said Mr. Owens, "when I started suffering from catarrh of the nose, head and throat and as time passed on my condition got worse. My suffering at times was something awful and I took cold easy and this made my nose, head and throat that much worse, and when I had a head ache my eyes would hurt me terribly. About four years ago my stomach. liver and kidneys were affected by the catarrh and this only added to my misery, and my whole body seemed poisoned. If I ever got a little hot and sat down to rest and cool off, the Joints In my arms, hips and legs would get so stiff and sore that I could hardly move and at times my muscles would draw up like I had rheumatism. I had pains in my right side and in the small of my back, and at night I would have to get up four or five times. I was badly consti pated and nearly always had to be taking a laxative. i searched for twenty years for a medicine that would help me and I would have still been suffering if I hadn't read about Tanlac in the paper and commenced taking it. I hadn't finished the first bottle before I saw that at last I had found the right thing for me because I began to pick up right away, my appetite got bet ter, my stomach quit troubling me and I was feeling stronger than I had in years. I haven't stopped taking Tanlac yet because I want to be sure that all my old twenty years of mis ery is entirely gone before I quit taking it, but already I am so greatly relieved that I feel almost like an other man. My appetite is fine and what I eat digests and don't trouble me at all, and the pains in my back have almost entirely stopped and my kidneys don't bother me at night like they used to. The catarrh, that started all my troubles has just about gone, and I am not constipated a bit and feel built up in every way. I am already so much improved that I just want to tell everybody that I believe Tanlac is the finest medicine in the world." , Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug company.
