MAY DAY

MOSCOW’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEMONSTRATIONS FOUND ON SECRET AGENT IN PARIS (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Service.) (Rec. May 1, 11.50 p.m.) Paris, May 1. The French police have arrested a Soviet secret agent, Bespaloif, who was living in Paris under the guise of arranging for the repatriation of Russian “exiles.” Bespaloff was found to be in possession of Moscow’s orders instructing him to take command of Communist demonstrations planned for weeks past. Dudillieux, secretary of the Communist Trade Union Federation, who has been collaborating with Bespaloff, has been arrested also. MANY ARRESTS IN PARIS Australian Press Association. (Rec. May 1, 7 p.m.) Paris, April 30. The police, in anticipation of May Day disturbances, arrested 300 of the most militant Communists as a precautionary measure. READY FOR PITCHED BATTLE IN BERLIN (Rec. May 1, 7 p.m.) Berlin, April 30. Everything is ready for a pitched battle between 15,000 police and 12.000 Communists. At least, that is the impression to be gained from the newspapers. The Communists insist that they will demonstrate in spite of the prohibition. Car-loads of police are patrolling the city all night long. POLICEMEN MURDERED (United Service.) (Rec. May 1, 8.30 p.m.) Berlin, April 30. During Communist and police conflicts two policemen were murdered. One was shot dead and the other stabbed in the neck.
