legal batteries that contested her right
to be called Mrs. James M. Munyon.
and as such to share in the distribution
of the dead remedy maker's money.
This young woman was sworn under

Is headed by James M. Munyon, Jr.,
and other members of the family, ihe
is Miss Jane Kane.
Objections Made
Judge Henderson, however, permit- ,
ted the central figure at today's hear- ,
Ing to be sworn ns Mrs. Munyon.
Former Judge V. W. Torter, as
counsel for the family, objected, but
Henry ,T Scott, for the claimant, suc
ceeded in having his client referred to
at Mrs. Munyon by the witnesses.
Testimony to support her asserted
rleht to title and inheritance was riven
by the young woman, supported by va- i
rious tradespeople, who said they knew ,
her as Mrs. Munyon. !
"I first met Mr, Munyon ten years;
ago," said the claimant. "At that time ;
I entered his employ ns a telephone
, operator. About a year or a year and
a half later at his invitatiou I went with

"I have never heard of the treaty

shown a copy of the treaty by a friend.
I had some talk with him regarding
certain parts of it."

the men referred to had any connection
with financial Interests so far ns he
knew, lie added that he made no in
quiry as to where they obtained copies
of the treaty.
Replying to questions by Senator
HitchcocR. Senator Lodge said he did
not think it "would be honorable" for
him to disclose the name of the men
who had -copies of the treaty. lie ex
plained that he regarded it an, very im
portant that constituents hould feel
they could transmit communications to
their senators without fear of their
names being made public. He added that
he did not know if the persons to whom
he had talked In New York objected to
their names being made known.

Senator Lodge was asked if in the
event of their refusal he could further
iiid the committee in their indentifiea
tion. "Certainly not." he replied, sharply
"My lips are sealed as far as they are
concerned I regard that as a matter
of honor."
Senator "Williams wanted to know
whether Mr. Lodge could give the names
of other who might be summoned
"No." snid Mr. Lodge. "I have
heard nothing else other than the state
ment referred to bv Senator Williams
thnt Mr. Davison brought some copies
with him and also that Mr. Vanderlip
had them."
Mi. Illtchcnik asked whether the

"I have no idea whatever." said Mr
Lodge "They had no business Inter-
nt at all as far as 1 know."
"It might have been of political

(.0.k, but Mr. Lodge denied it.
Senator Knox, Republican. Pennsvl-lhjg,

Papers Found With Explosive
Near Frankford Arsenal

COLLEGE GUARDS SPROUL
The bomb found near the Frankford
Arsenal yesterday will be taken apart
by ordnance experts today and the con
tents carefully examined by detectives
In the hope that some trace of the maker
of the missive may be found.
Sheets of yellow paper, such as used
in the public schools, each bearing a j
name and answers to problems, found
In the bunches surrounding the bomb,
arc expected .to form an important clue, ,
The schools of the northeast werei
visited today in an effort to discover
which class the examination papers i
came from and which pupils disposed
of the marked papers. The contents of
the bomb may furnish a clue.
The "red" scare penetrated to
Swarthmore College yesterday, where
Attorney general Palmer, whose Wash
ington home was bombed last Monday
night, and Governor Sproul attended I
the baccalaureate ceremonies.
The college authorities had the stu
dents of the institution armed and
guarded the distinguished visitors at all
times during their stay.
Found In Bushes
The Frankford bomb was found in
some hushes by a citizen. He turned
it over to Sergeant Putt, of the home
defense reserves. Captain Hollings
worth, of the same organization, ex
amined the object and reported it to the
police.
Detectives believe the bomb was orig
inally intended for the Frankford
Arsenal, but that the anarchlt lost his
nerve and threw it in the place where
it was found.
The bomb was of simple construction.
but the person who made it evidently
knew the character of the materials

article just as powerful a.s it could be.

Both thee cans were set in a larger

middle can and the outside coutnincr

YUM! LOCUSTS! EAT 'EM

Seventeen-! ear Variety Taste Just Like Shrimp, Only Differ
ence Is in Price, Says Professor
Yes, sir : our locust salad is fine)
today.
Locusts may soon appear ou the
menus of all restaurants, although It is
probable that the item will be vprinted
in French so that Mr. Common People,
in ordering, will not know whether he
is pointing to the proprietor's name or
something to .eat.
The name of a good stomach spe
cialist will be printed in English at
the bottom of the menu, as a footnote
to' the locust item.
Ethau Allen Andrews, professor of
zoology at Johns Hopkins I'niversity.
has followed his own advice aud eaten
locusts. He eats "em raw.
"Fine, just like shrimp." was his
verdict.
In the opinion of Professor Andrews,
the only difference between shrimps nnd
locusts is the market price of shrimps.
"If there was a M-arclty of other
food, persons who had tasted locusts
would probably think nothing of eating
them in large quantities," he said.
The words "if" and "probably" used
in Professor Andrews's verdict are the
words on which the uccent is placed.
Professor Andrews picked on the

PARLEY IN PHONE STRIKE
- . ...
Linemen Will Meet General Manager
v- of Keystone Company Today
Representatives or ine sirming line
men, cable men and operators of the
Keystone Telephone Company- will meet
Edward 5f. Cooke, grneral manager of
the telephone .company, today and en
deavor to make'a settlement. At the
strikers' headquarters, 2-18 South
Kighth street, it was announced yester
day that approximately 2.W employes of
the telephone company are out on strik'e.
This, however. Is denjed by officials
of the telephone company, who allege
that less than tilty are striking,
the members of the locust family that
were threatened with extermination in
biblical times when they invaded the
wilderness.
Professor Andrews and others work
ing with him in the study of the habits
and flavor of the pests are .convinced
that the present generation would be
doing the right thing by posterity by
eating the locusts as fast as they ap
pear. There is one thing, however, that
may interfere with the consumption.
The locusts of the present day and gen
eration are not In the best of health.
Many have been found which are suf
ferers from a fungous trouble, which
means they are "slightly moldy."
This mold, spreading from the tail
forward, will kill many of the insects.
But Professor Andrews fears that it
will not cause death soon enough to
prevent the laying of eggs and the
propagation nf the next generation of
locusts. .
So do your bit !
The easiest'way to kill a seventeen
j ear locust is to step on it. It may
then be fried. If they are to be eaten
raw or boiled, however, a net should
be used in capturing them in their wild
state.

Operators to Quit Wednes
day, Says Leader
CHICAGO WILL BE CENTER
By the Associated Press
Chicago, June 0. After a confer
ence with other union officials today,
S. .T, Koncnkamp, international presi
dent of the Co'mmercial Telegraphers'
Union of America, stated that final
steps have Ijeen taken for the nation
wide strike of 70,000 telegraph and
telephone operators next Wednesday.
"Telegrams from all sections of the
country show the determination of the
workers to win their fight," he said,-
Mr. Konenkamp said that Chicago
probably . would be the center of the
country-wide strike as union officials
plan to direct all activities from here.
He said fully 4000 Chicago workers
would be affected by the strike order.
Wahlnton, June 0. (By A. P.)
Responsibility for the Impending nation
wide strike of union wire workers rests
with Congress and not with the owners
of the wire systems or the employes,
S. J. Small, a former International of
ficer of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union of America, told a meeting here
of members of the local union.
Mr. Small charged that since the
transfer of political power In Congress
from the Democrats to the Republicans
the question of government ownership of
the wire systems has been thrown into
the "political arena," activities of the
various wage boards have ceased and
the interests of the employes have been
given no consideration.
The government's guarantee of the
interest on stocks and bonds of the
Western Union Company, the speaker
said, meant that the taxpayer must bear
the burden of any losses sustained by
the Western Union as a result of the
No move in the threatened strike has
been made by the postoffice depart
ment. It was said today officially, how
ever, that the government regarded the
continued operation of the cable lines
as absolutely essential and that If nec
essary experienced men from the nrmy
would be directed to operate them.
