SIX IMPLICATED IN WALL STREET BOMB OUTRAGE Lindenfeld Story Involves Two Women and Four Men in Plot. POLICE PROBE GOES ON WARSAW, Poland. Dec. 22.—Two women and four men plotted the Wall Street bomb explosion, Sylvester Cosgrove, American Department of Justice agent declared here today. Names of the plotters who now are being sought by police were ootained, Coagrove said, from Wolfe Lindenfeld, now being held in jail here untU his stories can be verified. Local authorities, however, ire doubtful of Lindenfeld’s story which implicates six radicals and maintains his own innocence. A personal investigation of Lindenfeld’s past activities and reputation revealed the fact that he is known as a “wind jammer.” He admits he has lied several times to police and he changes his story every day. personal friend of his told me every one around his home called him “Windy Bill” because he bragged about himself so much. “I think he is merely bragging.” one of Lindenfeld’s friends who knew him in New York said. LINDENFELD FAMILY WORRIED. Lindenfeld’s younger brother and his father were heartbroken. They were at first reticent to talk of Lindenfeld. They were extremely frightened, but finally told the following details of Lindenfeld's life up to the present time. William (they called Lindenfeld by that name) was never involved In the Russian revolution. The aged father said: “I can bring hundreds of witnesses to testify that he worked as a woodcutter with me during that time in the mountains.” Wlliiam returned to Poland suddenly after a long visit to America. He had little money. Soon he was without funds began borrowing money from his friends and his brother. One day he received a letter informing him that Cosgrove was on his way to Warsaw to take him to America. William, with moist eyes cried joyfully “My best friend —a member of the labor party —is coming to fetch me soon to see my wife and children.” When William first saw Cosgrove at the American embassy he greeted him heartily. They both met often after that, the younger brother sometimes accompanying Lindenfeld. MANNER OF LINDENFELD ARREST. William was surprised that Cosgrove—a member of the Labor party Lindenfeld believed —had such a good standing at the American embassy, but he did not become suspicious immeu'ately. “William and I then went on a short trip,” the younger brother said. “When we returned my sister accompanied us to the Hotel Bristol where we went to see Cosgrove. My sister waited in the lobby while we went to Cosgrove's room. “Later Cosgrove came down to the lobby with us when William asked him to meet my sister. “Cosgrove and my sister were Just shaking hands when Paul Altendorf (a Burns detective) and a Polish police agent walked up and seized William. “William shrieked when Altendorf placed his hand on William’s shoulder. “ ’Air. Cosgrove,’ my brother cried. Cosgrove then whirled on William and struck him in the face. William never spoke of political affairs, the brother said. They thought him only a newspaper reporter and believed him incapable of implication in the bomb plot. He often received letters from the Slavish Press Bureau in New York, they said. A dozen persons here who knew Lindenfeld said they did not believe he was implicated. They said they were so sure they will willingly go on a witness etand and testify to that effect The brother and father denied Lindenfeld was related to Rosa Luxemburg, the German radical who was killed by a mob in 1918.

Fire Insurance Cut to Save Thousands Reductions In stock company fire insurance rates will save policy holders of Indiana between $200,000 and $300,000, Thomas McMurray, State insurance commissioner, said today. The new rates are effective at once and effect mercantile buildings, their contents and school houses. Mr. McMurray estimates that the business affected by the reduced rates constitutes about 40 per cent of the business in the State. The reductions which we-e made by 175 stock insurance companies of the State average between 13 and 20 per cent. The reduction, Mr. McMnrray said, can b e kept only by keeping tire losses at a minimum. Woman, on Spree, Burned to Death With her husband, Charles Rankins, in jail on a charge of murder, Maude Rinkins, negress, became intoxicated last night and her spree ended in her death in a fire at her home, 428 North Missouri street. It is believed the woman set fire to the house. Only one room was destroyed. There were evidences of an attempt to set fire to another room, leading to the arson theory. Roomers living in the house told the police the woman was drunk. Charles Rankins is charged with the murder of Jacob Bush, a merchant policeman. CHRISTMAS PARTY TOMORROW.

CONGRESS WILL CONSIDER WAYS TO PAY ‘BONUS’ Expects to Take Action on Soldiers’ Payment Before February. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Three plans for raising revenue to pay a soldier “bonus” will be laid before the House Ways and Means Committee when Congress reconvenes Jan. Z with the expectation that a compensation bill will be framed before February. Members of the committee. It was learned, have reached the conclusion that any “bonus” bill reported to the House must carry its own levies to meet the obligations which it creates. With this in mind, the following plans will be offered: L Manufacturers’ and business sales tax, with tax on imports. 2. Special tax on legalized sales of non-intoxicating beers and wines. 3. Receipts frem a special bond Issue based on the refunded foreign loans. Chairman Fordney of the committee always has favored the manufacturers’ sales tax to raise the money for a cash “bonus” on the basis of $1 a day, with a maximum of $625 for overseas service and of SSOO for service in the United States. The plan of Representative Volk of New York, for a sales tax will be thoroughly investigated by the committee and tax experts will be heard in explanation and criticism. The bond issue plan has not met with strong support because of the possibility of delay facing the settlement of the $11,000,000,000 indebtedness for foreign government to the United States.
