Among the held under a charge of incltitiff riots are believed by police to bo those who for months have worked up thousands of Cleveland Socialists to a martyrdom faith in IV Ishevism.

GOVERNOR OCCUPIED WITH SLATE

TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL IM'I.WAl'OLIS, liu!.. May J. Governor Goodrich is said to be giviiiK much attention to the reorganization of the Public Service Commission, which Is to take place so,,n. Jt may happen any day. for there are two plan's on the commission to I n filled by appointments by the Governor. These (i ppomt nn-tits are duo today. Charles A. lldwards, of Huntington, and Uk! ward C. Yrr, of Ploominpton. both I leinoera ts, lire slated to walk the plank, and their places will be filled by the selection of two lVmoorats. one from the northern part of the state, perhaps, and tho other from the south half of the state. As has been stated before In this correspondence. Judfie W. 11. Uiehhorn, of Piuffton. is regarded as a likely possibility for the appointment to succeed Jld wards, and the Covernor hopes to be aide to lind a Democratic business man in the south part of the state who will lit in the plan? to be vacated by t'orr. Some of the politicians have found objections to Jud.e l'.iehhorn on the i; round that his tendencies aro somewhat radical, but whethfr this would be sufficient objection to prevent his appointment remains to be seen. JudBe lliehhorn is an advocate of some of the more radical sometimes called "propressive" ideas in the regulation of public utilities, lie is known as a reform r nl-Tff rtirv r.ms lines. However, he is regarded as a very i'bln man who would b" a valuable addition to the Public S-rvie. Comtrii-M.ui. provided his "forward-lookinK" Inclinations did not sway him too much. A large number of strong reeonnnen la-, tions of JinK'o Uichhorn have reached the hands of the Covernor. There is one element of strength that has been ur.ed for Judge Kichhorn, and that is that there should be a hih prade, thorouphly competent and able lawyer on the eoiiimiss'on. Under former administrations the commission was

composed entirely of lawyers and this aa a handicap that prevented business from beinir handled with the speed at which it should have been disposed of. The lawyers conducted the commission as a court, and had established rubs of procedure that would have been elaborate and technical -:iii.-:ji for any court room. The present commission, howe. r. is constructed along different lines, with business men and experts predominat inr. Covernor Coodrlch was fortunate in his selection of K. I. Lewis for chairman of the Public Service Commission, ns the record shows. When Mr. Lewis became chairman, at the reorganization of the commission there were on the docket more than .100 unfinished cases, which had accumulated under the former administration. At last accounts, and after two years of the new commission, there are only ibout seventy-five cases pending before the commission, thus showlnp that the body has done a larpe amount of work and soupht to catch up with its business. It is now possible for a petitioner to pet action on his petition without waiting a lifetime for it. Chairman Lewis has worked like a dop bin-self and he has kept everybody else nhout the place as busy as himself. Tt is the hope of the Covernor that the hiph standard set may be continued under the corninp reorpa niza t ion. Of course, this would not be possible if the commission were to have too many lawyers as members, for they would naturally tend toward the technical. Tt is not k; own whom the Governor has In mind for the appointment to succeed Corr. He has not taken anyone into his confidence on that subject as far as is known. Put it will be necessary for him to act soon. It Is understood that the Covernor would have been pleased if Senator Clenn Van Auken. of Auburn, had decided to nc"'-p r.'i a ppri r t me ir as a rv robe r of the Public Pcrv'ro -Commission, but VanAit'ico. if- j ss said, would rref. r a place on the State Indus' rl"l Hoard However, there is a prol);..b:liy that Jo may not even take that appointment. J. Madison Walsh, of Washington, is reRardrd a the best bet for second choice on the State Industrial Hoard, if Van Auken do-s not take it.

Wilson Again Outvoted at Peace Conference in Latest Attempt.

John -Edwin Nevin staff correspondent 1. h. service) PAPd, May 2. Once ajjaln President Wilson has been out-voted in an attenirt to secure publicity in the peace conference proceedings. Tha American delegates asked that the newspaper correspondents he allowed to see the handing of the peace treaty to the German

delegates. Put when the matter was i

taken up by the big tnree. Premier Clernenceau would not consent and was backed up by Premier Lloyd George.

President Wilson remaining in the j minority. j As a result it will be Impossible to J

secure the slightest publicity over -this proceeding. It is now understood that when the treaty is turned over to the German envoys, they will be given a fortnight to consider it and to submit in writing any changes th-y may desire. It was believed today that the treaty-

terms would not be in the hands of the ' Germans before Monday, although it j was suggested yesterday that this pro- , ceeding might come cither on Saturday or Sunday. Credentials of the peace delegation, I headed by Count von Prcckdorff-Rant- i zau. the German foreign minister, were

formally handed to the allies Thursday afternoon, tha session lasting only a few- minutes. It took plac at Versailles. Should the Germans be given two weeks for consideration of the pact and should it be presented to them on lionday this means that tho final stage of the peace proceedings so far as Germany is con'-rned, would be reached on or about May 10. A few days would be

given for consideration of any altera-

tions the Germans might suggest. The signatures probably will be placed upon the treaty about May 13 or 26. It is unlikely that the treaty the Austrian ddepates must sign will be ready before June. There are troublesome territorial problems involved in that document which will require careful handling. "Whethfr President Wilson will be rble to remain in I'rance until the Austrian treaty has been completed has not yet been decided. This matter probably will be determined within the next fortnight.
