ed in "Wyoming' for cattle rustling and
who was to have entered the state
penitentiary In July to begin serving
a sentence for that offense, was found
dead on her ranch 12 miles north of
here yesterday. Otto Palzenberg, a
ranch hand, was suffering from con
vulsions and was brought to a hos
pital here, where- it is said he has
small chance to recover.
He has been unable to make any
statement, but officials are .working
on the theory that the two were poi
soned by a substance put in the flour
from which a batch of fresh bread
found in the ranch house had. been
baked. An autopsy Is to be performed
on Mrs. Richey.
Mrs. Richey was 30 years of age
and had been divorced.
Uar racks Attacked, Houses Burned
' and Castle Stormed During
Sectarian Strife.
BELFAST, May 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Terrorism in Belfast
.' and Its environs is again assuming
-fiuch. proportions that Premier Craig
and bis cabinet met this afternoon,
I presumably to discuss measures for
dealing with the renewed outbreak
- of sectarian strife.
At least half a dozen persons have
net death at the hands of murder
eamga -within, the last 24 hours, and
; dozens cf others have been wounded.
. Among the latest reports this aft
ernoon from County Down, was that
an automobile containing a military
officer and his wife struck a tree
' that was blocking the road. The
woman -was killed and the officer
himself was found unconscious.
The summer residence at Cushen-
dun. County Antrim, belonging to
Ronald McNeil, a close friend of Pre
mier Craig and a prominent com-
" moner, was burned today. The town
of Oushendall was held four hours by
; 159 raiders, who, after burning the
Northern bank, attacked the police
,,'barracks, but were beaten off.
Barracks la Attacked.
; The barracks at Ballycastle, near
the scene of the sinking of the Amer
lean troop ship Tuscania during the
. war, was attacked with bombs, but
the police finally repulsed the as
sailants, arresting one of their num
' ber and capturing a number of bags
i containing hand grenades and petrol,
i Within the last 24 hours armed
' raiders have laid a trail of fire from
i County Down, through Belfast to
. north of County Antrim, attacking
police barraeks, ambushing special
' constables, burning houses of loyal
ists, destroying railway lines and cut-
. ting wire communications. A wild
; week-end of outrages was feared In
' Belfast today.
The Ulster cabinet, which sat for
several hours today, probably will
- meet again tomorrow, and impor
. tant decisions concerning the situa-
- tlon are expected.
; Twenty-three Killed In Week.
Within the city of Belfast the num
. ber of murders during the past week
' w as brought to a total of 23 as a
result of today's shootings.
Up to the present County Antrim
has been comparatively free of out
' rages. The feature of the overnight
" raids In that county was the destruc-
tion of Shane's castle. The raiders
crossed from County Tyrone In boats
and attacked the castle from several
. points. The servants held them off
for several hours, but the attackers
finally entered, carrying cans of
. petrol, and set fire to the buildings.
Disorders continued here unabaited
this afternoon. Two drovers were
hot 'In the railway cattle pens, one
of them being killed and the other
critically wounded. According to
t" word received this afternoon, the
' Northern bank at Gushendall, County
;? '. Antrim, was burned and the post
! office raided.
, Raids also occurred in the County
' Down, whera the Castle Wellan bar-
racks were attacked; the railroad
" depot at Laurencetown was burned; a
' train was held up and the road
blocked.
Three Killed In Attack.
' Reports received here this after
i , noon said that three of the raiders
' In the attack on the Castle Wellan
" barracks were killed and ten others
t;; , captured. In the same district, which
- Is alone the coast, the old court castle.
'.. ' the residence of Lord Derosa holdej-
or the oldest baronetcy in tne British
mpire, was burned. Lady Deros was
. la the castle at the time.

elated Press.) Aa agreement be
t tween the free state and the repub-
. lican factions of the Dail Bireann
' regarding the forthcoming Irish, elec-
tlona and other questions waa reached
, this afternoon, according to advices

GERMANS THY INITIATIVE
FIRST INVOCATION' OP IiAW IS
DIRECTED AT SAXONY.
Question of - Ousting Labor Min
istry to Be Decided by
Voice of People. .
BERLIN. May 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The initiative and ref
erendum, provided under the repub
lican constitution, will be given Its
first tryout In the radical stronghold
of "Red Saxony" neoct month on. the
question, of ousting the labor minis
try. The move was Instigated by the
middle classes.
Dissolution of the diet 'was demand
ed following Its recent decision: that
general holidays should he observed
annually on May 1 In conformity with
the International labor movement and
not November 9, the anniversary of
the revolution.
From June ( to 16 all m?n and
women over 20 years old, In favor of
the referendum on dissolution of the
diet may register. Two hundred and
ninety thousand votes, or one-tenth
of the population shown, by the last
census, are required in order to bring
the matter to the Saxon government's
consideration. That numher is re
garded as assured, since both the
Rightist parties (the peoples' and na
tional peoples) originated demands
for the diet's dissolution, and the
democrats and centrists promised
their support. If the required number
is obtained in the initiative balloting,
the cabinet will submit the question
to the diet, which may choose to dis
solve Itself, rendering a referendum
vote unnecessary. Otherwise, the ref
erendum probably will be held during
the first part of July.
A woman appeared as an attorney
for the first time In the history of
German criminal courts a few days
ago when Fraulein Dr. Monk of Ber
lin, acted as defending counsel for a
man accused of a street robbery. She
created a favorable impression.
The city of Berlin lost Its first case
In testing the municipality's liability
for rentals Incurred by homeless per
sona arbitrarily Billeted In private
homes. The. housing shortage, due to
the Influx of refugees from areas lost
by the war, forced the authorities to
take extreme measures even Invading
fashionable private apartments to ob
tain accommodations.
The situation often was embarras
sing, since an aristocrat might find
himself living in the earn apartment
with a refugee family. The case just
decided paves' the way for endless
litigation, as the administration has
already accommodated In this manner
thousands of homeless people tne ma
jority of whom were Impoverished hy

sons so billeted defaulted In their rent
the city was liable for payment to the
landlords.

Problem That Has Long Puzzled

NEW YORK. May solution.
has been found of the question of
how to preserve newspapers in pub
lic libraries, according to the Ameri
can Paper and Pulp association.
Each sheet is mounted "between two
thin sheets of Japanese tissue, shut
ting out the air from the original
sheets, thus preventing decay and
only slightly reducing legibility and
strengthening the page. Bound vol
umes of newspapers treated with the
tissue are in dally use in the library

Extortion Carried On Generally
and Guards Are Thrown Around
Many Buildings Rising.
BY JAMES W. KESTER.
rCouyrigtit. 1922. by The Oresonian.)
CHICAGO, May 20. (Special.) For
years the "gat," the sawed-off shot
gun, the blackjack, the tomb. Now
the torch. Gang Terrorists apparently
stop at nothing to hold Chicago in
their grasp and they .operate now In
the name of union labor.
A siege of robbery and slugging.
bombings and shootings as a protest
against the union wage award for
the building trades, fixed by Judge
Landls, reached Its climax a few
nights ago In the wanton killing of
two policemen and the wounding of a
third by a gang of bombers out on a
dynamiting expedition. Since then
Chicago has witnessed perhaps the
most gigantic drive against outlawry
since the days of the famous Hay
market riots of the '80s.
150 Labor Leaders Held.
More than 150 union chieftains and
their lieutenants were rounded up in
sensational daylight raids on union
strongholds and dozens of gunmen
and thugs were seized in an, effort to
run to earth the killers and end the
reign of lawlessness here. Among the
eight men subsequently indicted for
killing the two policemen were a trio
of the city's most prominent labor
leaders and all Chicago gasped when
Chief of Police Fitzmorrls flared to
arrest them.
One was "Big Tim" Murphy, long a
powerful and picturesque figure in
the labor world here, now under sen
tence to six years in prison for a
daring $350,000 mall hold-up at Dear
born street station last year. The
"uncrowned king" of the building
trades, tne. newspapers call him.
Another was Fred Mader, president
of the council, with a term in Jollet
penitentiary for labor conspiracy be
hind him. The third Is Cornelius
("Con.") Shea, a union secretary once
sentenced to Sing Sing for carving up
bis sweetheart while drinking.
Eight Held as Accomplices.
These, with the other five men In
dicted, lesser labor lights, are accused
of murder under an Illinois statute
which makes anyone who incites or
Induces murder equally guilty with
those who act. It is admitted that
none of the eight had part In the
actual slaying. The. police also have
arrested John Mlllera police charac
ter who was the confessed driver of
the death oar.
Following arrest of the labor men
spirited court battles were started to
obtain their release. Most of them
soon were freed on habeas corpus
writs but the principal ones were
held. It was hoped that this stroke
would, In turn, strike terror to the
hearts of the terrorists. Threats of
death then began to pour In on the
chief of police, sheriff and other of
ficials unless the labor chieftains
were released.
One message gave warning that If
ouldf
cfty.
the leaders were not freed fire wo
break out in every section of th cfly,
This threat was not taken seriously
until a few days later. At about 7
o'clock at night fire started In a
$500,000 72-apartment hotel nearing
completion at fashionable Rogers
Park. The building was practically
destroyed. It was being erected part
ly by non-union men working under
the Landls award. Officials are con
vinced that the fire was the work of
terrorists.
- Jurist Blames Unions.
It is not the law-enforcement of
ficers alone who blame the unions for
the outlawry. Speaking befor St
Luke's Men's club last Friday, Chief j
Justice Scanlan of the criminal court.
said:
"There have been 18 bombs thrown
in Chicago in the last 60 days. If
Mayor Thompson would call in "Big
Tim Murphy and Fred Mader and
say: 'One more bombing and one
more shooting and you men will
hang,' most of this trouble would be
done away with. Many union leaders
are spitting in the face of justice.
Leaders must be bribed before a
building Is put up."
Charges of grafting by union agents
In Chicago became so general that the
legislature appointed a special in
vestigating committee last summer.
Evidence was uncovered that thou
sands of dollars had been paid out by
builders to prevent strikes. Indict
ments were many but convictions nil.
Among those tried were Simon O'Don
nell, ex-head of the building trades'
council, and William F. Quesse, chief
of the Flat Janitors' union. Both are
being retried after acquittal because
jurors confessed being bribed to vote
"not guilty."
Grafting; Rons Riot.
Meanwhile the grafting goes mer
rily on. Builders must either eru1mlt
or suspend work. Here Is how It
works:
A contractor Is permitted to hire
non-union workers if unions cannot
supply enough. When he does he has
a visitor.
"My men are kicking against work
ing with non-union men," the busi
ness agent tells the builder. "They
wantto 6trlke and It will cost you
money to keep them at work."
"How much?" the contractor asks.
"Well," replies the agent, "say
$500 now and a dollar a day for each
of the men at work until the building
is completed."
The union men on the job have to
pay with the others, submitting
through fear of being thrown out of
work. Why don't the honest union
men oust the dishonest leaders? They
reply that it Is as much as a. man's life
Is worth to arise at some union meet
ings and demand the removal of cer
tain officials. If he docs he Is way
laid and beaten on his way home.
Threats of Death Blade.
Not long ago there was some agita
tion against a certain business agent.
The height of the election he arrived
at the hall with a crowd of followers
all known "bad men." The agent
sat down at a table, drew a revolver
and laid it in front of him.
"Gentlemen, the voting will now be
gin," he announced, with an ugly
look.
As the ballots were brought to him,
so goes the story, he counted them
carefully, then tore up the slips and
declared:
"I'm re-elected."
Immediate relief from the reign of
terror is not looked for although
Judge Scanlan sees an improvement
over conditions as they were 60 days
ago.
"About 400 of Chicago's worst
criminals have been shipped out of
town," he said today, and by July the
city will be about half civilized."
Chief FItzmorris declares thero Is
to be no letup in the war of the police
on the terrorists despite the fact that
they h.ve marked him for assassina
tion. Guards have been placed on all
buildings . being erected under the
Landis award with orders to shoot to
kill all persons seen prowling around
the premises after dark.
