Llndenfcld has lone been active In ; New York in propaganda wjrk. Do ; tectlves said Lindenfc'd was not di- 1 I rwtly connected with the crime, but .? know, tho principals so connected.

The reward to be p.i'e" o Llndenfcld should ho give the evidence wanted and prove his Inno cence of the crime, would be $50,000. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. (U.

Wolfe Llndonfold, a professed , anarchist who was arrested there, had , confessed fully to plotting the disaster. Detectives. worklm unceasingly ever since the bomb outrage, have had Llndenfcld under surveillance for n year. A report from the Polish capl tol stated that American detectives had L'.ndcnfeld In I heir enstady there, awaiting advices from Washington and New York. The w 'York bomb " squad scouted the possibility of Lln- 4 denfcld being the man, citing numer ous arrests made throuchnut this country during the Inst two years, all ( 'proving false leads.

"If tourists were forucfi through the desert,' 'he said, "and saw nothing but saml they would say to h 1 with Ore gon. Two other roads through scenic regions suffice at present for this travel."
