c. of I). S. ASKS FOR PRICE ON FIELD PEACE TREATY TO BE READY BY MARCH 29 BY FRED S. FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, March 19.

The speed-up program of the peace conference was in full swing today. Committee sessions and the the meeting of the supreme war council this afternoon were expected to accomplish appreciable progress in winding up the terms of the preliminary treaty with Germany. The delegates continued In their belief that the treaty will be fully completed by March 29 and probably be submitted to the Germans three days later. It was announced today that Versailles has been definitely selected as the site for signing the treaty. That the Oakland bomb outrage that resulted in the death of Mrs.

George Greenwood Tuesday was perpetrated by the same persons who blew up Governor Stephens mansion about a year ago is declared by the police here Wednesday. Chief Ira Conran and Captain of Detectives Arthur Ryan, who handled the investiagtion of the Stephens outrage also assisted the Oakland police in the investigation of the threatening letters sent to Greenwood some w'eeks ago. The initials C. C. of C.

stand for the Cats Claw of California, said Conran today. "The letters to Stephens and to Greenwood were both prepared with the same set of rubber stamps, and their similarity of sty le indicates that they were written by the same man. A clue to the Sacramento dynamiting was obtained, Ryan states, but the suspect eluded arrest and left the United States. That he has returned is believed. With the former clues to work upon, the police here predict an early arrest.

Governor Stephens, when informed of the tragedy at once ordered that a state reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the guilty parties be posted. Questioned about the possibility of the same persons bring responsible for the Oakland outrage and the dynamiting of his home governor refused to make any direct statement, declaring that his information, was not sufficient to clearly indicate any connection, beyond the similarity in methods adopted. Hungry enough to eat a dog" doesn't compare to the hunger in Berlin among the poor. This picture shows a horse which has been killed by a stray bullet in street fighting, being cut up into steaks and roasts by hungry citizens. They rushed in before the bullets had ceased to fly and did the carving with pocket knives.

ADVERTISING ON BIG SCALE WILL PUT BUSINESS ON ITS FEET, DECLARES AUTHORITY WASHINGTON, March 19. Extensive advertising campaigns throughout the country will put business on its feet and relieve the present stagnation, Roger W. Babson, director of the information service of the department of labor and a business authority, declared today. Babson has sent statements to big business men of the country urging increased advertising as a means of ushering in an area of piosperity. My advise to the merchant," Babson says, "is this: For your own interest and for the good of the country, increase the advertising appropriation for 1919.

Prosperity depends upon the consumer, ll there is not a market for goods they will not be produced. "The time to buy the things we need is here, but the people will not respond to a single appeal. A general campaign of paid advertising is necessary to get business going again. Dealers in all sorts of commodities should advertise them in the newspapers, magazines and other accepted mediums. Only in this way can the demand be created." WOMAN TORN TO PIECES.

OAKLAND, March 19. With Mrs. George D. Green wood, wife of a San hrancisco banker, torn to pieces by a bomb exploding in her home and other residents of Ilerkeley and Oakland receiving threats with demands for money, state, county and city officials today started an exhaustive search for an organized gang of determined black-mailers, intent upon extorting money from citizens by creating a reign of terror. Mrs.

Greenwood met instant death last night when a powerful bomb exploded near her. By the force of the blast, one side of the three story house was torn open, and the womans body hurled out cm the lawn. Her right arm had been blown off and her body was mutilated. Clothing stripped from the body hung in trees or was scattered on the lawn. Windows in nearby homes were shattered by the explosion.

I hreats to dynamite the Greenwood home unless $5, 00c was paid to the C. C. of were received by Greenwood early last year. lie house was under special guard for several weeks afterward, as a result. Threats to dynamite tin home of N.

Campagna, wealthy resident of Berkeley, culminated in discovery of an unexploded bomb in the Campagna yard last week. Police believe the same persons are responsible for the Campagna attempt and last night's horror. Announrmcnt by Governor Stephens that the state will offer ,000 reward for the apprehension of the perpetrators is certain to he followed today by postings of a large reward by the city of Oakland and Alameda county. The most encouraging news yet received as to the permanency of Mather Field as an army flying station came Wednesday in two messages from the war department. The most significant was thei one addressed to the flying officer 1 of the field in which it was stated that the Sacramento Real Estate board, a branch of the chamber of -commerce, has been asked by tho war department to make and sub- mit an appraisement of the 786 acres embracing the field.

Tno flying officer, Captain Voss, is directed to furnish a map and give all possible assistance in this connection. The property Is owned I by the Natomas company, and is now being leased. The fact that the war department has gone far as to ask appraisement la taken to mean that the field will be purchased and made permanent. In another message, similar to one sent to all regular flying stations, Captain Voss is instructed to accept met for enlistment In the air service for periods of from one to three years. 27THAER0AND CASUALS LAND IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, March 19 The cruisers Seattle and Charleston arrived here today wltn homecoming troops.

OAKLAND, March 19. A powerful chemical mixture, not dynamite, killed Mrs. George Greenwood, wife of a San Francisco banker, last night, according to Harry Miller, powder expert Today Miller made an investigation for the district attorney's office. Miller says the mixture causing the explosion contained a large quantity of mercury and was placed in a tin or glass container. He believes the mixture was such that time would elapse before chemical process brought about an explosion, allowing the person planting the bomb to escape.

Duncan Matheson, captain of detectives of the San Francisco police department, today joined Oakland sleuths in the hope of running down the perpetrators of the outrage. Matheson had carge of the detective force which Investigated the San Francisco preparedness parade dynamiting in 1916 and has studied and worked on other bomb cases in California. Detectives believe the fatal blast last night was intended to terrorize a number of other wealthy families here and compel them to meet the demands for money that have been sent to different parties. The demand made upon Greenwood and the recent finding of a dynamite bomb In a Berkeley yard after a demand for money had been made, convinces police that a gang of blackmailers, and not discontented radicals, are responsible for the outrage. Recently a threatening letter was received by W.

G. Henshaws family, related to Mrs. Greenwood. Police believe the blackmailers may have hoped through killing Mrs. Greenwood to frighten Henshaw into paying tho money.

Search is being made for two Italians who were seen near the Greenwood home yesterday apparently gathering rubbish. It is known also that a package was received through the mail yesterday by Mrs. Greenwood. SAN FRANCISCO Divorce anil restoration to citizenship aro sought by Mrs. F.thol It.
