NEW YORK, April 30.— With the
discovery today in the New York post-
office of sixteen infernal machines in
addition to six more that have been de-
livered to prominent men in various
parts of the country, Federal detectives

of the dangerous bombs which are be-
lieved to be part of a Nation-wide plot
The bombs found today were ad-
dressed to prominent men, including
judges and Cabinet members, while the

W ASHINGTON. P. C., AprW 30.—Agents
of the Department of Justice have been in
strutted to obtain evidence showing what
brewers continue to manufacture beer after
midnight tomorrow when prohibition of
the use of food in manufacture of beer,
wine or other intoxicating liquors becomes
effect ive.
This evidence may or may not be used
in prosecution of brewers. depending
largely on what the Federal court in New
York decides in the beer ease now pond-
ing there. Whether production of near
beer after tomorrow midnight is pro-
hibited. the Department of Justice has
not ruled.
Manufacturer* of wine or beer who con-
tinue to operate after May 1 will do so
at their own risk, although the depart
ment ha* not indicated any intention of
causing immediate arrests.
The act of November 21. considered
by the Department of Justice purely as a
food conservation measure provides that
"after May I, 1919. until the ronelnslnn of
: the present war and thereafter until the
! termination of demobilization, the dale of

Likewise, it is stated, also unofficially, that there are indications that the
Council of Three has looked with favor upon the request of the Belgians for
an immediate advance on their share of the indemnity which Germany is to

By Associated Press.
COBLENZ. Saturday. April Srt.—Carl Mil
jier. a lawyer and a former officer in the
German army, who claims relationship to
Viscount MiJner. the British secretary for
the colonies, was sentenced to prison to-
day for acting in a discourteous manner
toward an American officer. The Incident
occurred on a street car between Cobleuz
and a suburb, the American contending
that Milner refused to share hi« seat.
Liaut. Lmmett llardwick of Stamford

the. case was of particular importance be-
cause his client was a cousin of Viscount
Mllner.
• The relationship of the defendant ' .n
nothing to do with this hearing," said
Lieutenant Hardwick. "Milner was dis-
courteous to an American officer—thirty

Visoount-Mllner was born in .Germany, of
a German born father. His grandfather.

PAKIS. April 30.—Plans for launching
the League of Nations were fairly definite-
ly outlined at. a luncheon which Col. K. M.
House.gave today to Sir James Erie Drum-
mond, the secretary general of the league:
iord Robert Cecil and others. The plans
are divided into three tr\ain stages:
First, preparatory detaHs which will be
worked out at headquarters to be estab-
lished at London during the coining sum-
mer :seeond. the inaugural meeting of the
league at Washington next October, under
the presidency of President Wilson; third,
the permanent establishment of the league
at Geneva, next fall or winter.
The preparatory details will begin soon
after the signing of tbe treaty and will be
in the hands of the committee of niue des-
ignated* by President Wilson's resolution
before the last plenary session of the con-
ference.
President Wilson will fix the date of the
first meeting and ask the nations to name
their three delegates to attend the inaug-
ural gathering* at Washington.

TER RE HAI TI:, lnd . April ;:(l,~An
armistice lias brought hostilities in the
Linton telephone strike to a close. Eight
companies of militia that have been on
strike duty will bo demobilized. Girl oper-
ators of tbe New Home Telephone Com-
pany. who struck for higher wages, shorter
hours and recognition of tiieir union,
agreed today to return to work for one
week, pending arbitration of their de
mand*. The sympathetic strike was called
off and miners, clerks and other workers
who went out with the girl;# have returned
to work.
A commission appointed by Governor
Goodrich will meet before tlie expiration of
a week to arbitrate the differences be
tween the girls and tlie company.
tures for the resumption of relations
have not come thus far from either di-
rection, but there are intimations from
Rome that overtures front Paris would
not be unacceptable, and would receive
every attention.
The prevailing sentiment among the
delegates, including several of the
American delegation, is against solicit-
ing a return of the Italian representa-
tives, and it was at first believed that
President Wilson shared this view
Those nearest the President, however
asserted that if Italy is disposed to re-
linquish Fiume and acept the compro-
mise the President suggested, he could
doubtless, in the interest of harmony
make such friendly suggestions as
would permit the resumption of rela-
tions by the Italians, vitbout any sacri-
fice of dignity or self-esteem.
These personal uaceptibflitfe* are felt
to be more of an obstacle at preient than
the territorial merits of the case. While
popular sentiment in Italy still insists on
holding Fiume. the recent official atti-
tude hHS been less insistent and apparent-
ly tends toward acceptance of one of the
various plans proposed by the Council of
Three, whereby Fiume would be interna
tionalized and some Dalmatiau outposts
given to Italy.
It Is the declared purpose of the council,
ns well us President Wilson, not to yield
on Kiunie. even if the peace treaty is
signed without Italy's participation. But,
should the recent official tendencies at
Koine rake 1 he definite form of accept-
ance of a compromise, the President's

^OTHING LIKE A .MAJORITY of the total registration, let alone of the
grand total of San Antonians admissible to the polls, was cast for any
candidate in Monday's primary.
And the total vote cast—0,7.38—was only about three-fifths of the
registration, alone, and but little more than half of the admissible number.
If it were certain that the heavy majority of INDEPENDENTS among
the 18,700 San Antonians who are entitled to vote would go to the polls
May 13, the victory might be considered as good as won. no». for the ANTI-
RING TICKET and for what it represents to the community in the way of
sound taxation, sound public improvement and city-building systems, and
sound policies of regulating the public utilities in the interests of ALL the
community.
THE INDEPENDENTS of the maiority arc subject to no voting "in-
structions."
They are neither ordeted nor willing to pull from the political fire the
chestnuts of any corporation, any clique, an' special-privilege interests, or
any voting machine in the commijnity.
They ask, and are entitled to ask of their candidates for public office
and of their public officers only good government—good for ALL, service-
able to ALL, impartial to ALL.
And that is theirs not only to request, but to COMMAND and to CON-
TRIVE. They alone CONTROL the business of olficc-getting, they alone
control the ELECTION, if they fulfill the first and greatest duty of citizen-
ship—to VOTE, and to vote for men INDEPENDENT of any obligation ind
