ITALY TO WAIT FOR LTO BE MADEBY ALLIES Premier Orlando and Peace Delegates Hold Secret Meeting to Discuss Problem. (By Uie Associated Press.) Rome. April 30, 8:40 p.m.

The Italian delegation to the Peace Conference met late today, under the chairmanship of Premier Orlando, to consider the situation. The meeting came after conferences the Premier had had with the King and American Ambassador Page. The Glornale D'ltalla says that In political circles the meeting was considered to be very important Although he Italian delegates maintain strict reserve, lt seems conclusive that Italy will not make any further move unless the Allied and associated governments first agree among themselves on a united proposal which likely would be acceptable to this country, harmonizing with the verdict of the Italian people, made through Parliament. King Victor Emmanuel received Premier Orlando today and discussed the situation with him. The King ex pressed his satlstaction at tne display of unity and loyalty given by the Italian country and Parliament, as evi denced by the vote of confidence given the Orlando ministry by Parliament last night.

Paris, April 30 The town of Volp- na, which President Wilson said should belong to Italy in his memorandum to Premier Orlando, is not on the Dalmatian coast, but is an Al banian Dort. now occupied, by Italians. The Albanian delegation here is much exercised over the recommendation and say that a seizure of Volpna by Italy would start a movement wnicn would threaten the dismemberment of Albania. Premier venizelos has based on Italy's possession of iVolpna a claim on the Albanian islands for Greece, and the Serbians, encouraged by this action, are making proposals which are said to be threatening AIDanias existence. tavt nf the memorandum handed to Premier Orlando of Italy by President Wilson on April 14 was made public at Paris on Tuesday nio-iif Rotative tn Italian claims on the eastern shore of the Adriatic, President Wilson, among otner miners, said: "I believe there will be common agreement that the island of Lissa (33 miles southwest of the port of Spa- lato, Dalmatia) snouia oe ceaea to Italv and that she retain the port of Volpna." ASK STAY IN COOK; CASE Morton Stein, counsel for Henry R.

M. Cook, auditor of the Board of Education, took steps today to appeal from the decision of Supreme Court Justice Hotchkiss, ordering him to honor the subpoena of David Hirsh-fleld and give the Commissioner of Accounts access to the books of the Board. Mr. Stein applied to the Supreme Court for a stay to prevent Mr. Hirshfield from going ahead with the investigation pending the appeal.

The order of Justice Hotchkiss was signed yesterday. $496,900,000 WAR PAYMENTS Eighty-six thousand checks were mailed today by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance to beneficiaries of men who died in the military or naval service and who were insured under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act. These checks represent the payments which fell due on insurance awards on May 1, and are payments for practically all awards made to date. All checks which fell due during the month of April have been mailed. Approximately 1,097,000 checks to $38,000,000 were mailed from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance during April.

Since October 6, 1917, when the War Risk Insurance Act became effective the Bureau of War Risk Insurance has sent out more than 16,000,000 checks to the dependents of men in the service and more than $496,900,000 has been paid out in allotments and allowances, insurance awards and compensation awards. Brooklyn Subscriptions Reach $20P486f200-Creenpoint Dis-trict Still Leads. Brooklyn industries which in the nnAUnil? Liberty Loan drive went over the quota assigned them are lagging badly in the present loan. At the close of business yesterday, with one-half of the drive completed, the total for the Advisorv Trad Hnm- mlttee stood at $5,308,600, or approximately 50 per cent of what the relative collections were at the end of the ninth day in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. At the corresponding stage of the ito? Jn the collections stood at 000.

Allowing for the fact that the relative quotas for the Fifth Loan are but three-fourths of those for the Fourth, the Brooklyn Trades Committee figure should stand at $10,750,000 to correspond with the effort put forth in the preceding drive. Some criticism has been caused because no quotas have as yet been assigned the various trade groups in Brooklyn. In Manhattan not only have quotas been assigned, but the standing of the various industries with the percentage of their quotas subscribed are published daily, stimulating interest and competition among the Rainbow Division contestants. At the local Loan headquarters it was said today that quotas for the Brooklyn industries would probably be assigned tomorrow. A meeting of the Advisory Trades Committee will be held on the seventh floor of The Eagle Building tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m.

BY ALERTCLERK Package Would Have Been Mistaken for Wedding Gift Country Wide Search for Plotters. Washington, May 1 With the great arm or uie postal service reaenmg oui over the country to pick up additions bombs mailed from New York to men high In official and business life, only one, so far as officials here were advised at noon today, got through the mails during the night. This was addressed to Senator Overman of North Carolina who as chairman of the special committee investigating Disloyal Propaganda aroused the enmity of I.

W. W. and other organizations. It was held up by the postmaster at Salisbury, the Senator's home town. The package bore a New York postmark, carried a mailing label of Gimbel Brothers and in every respect was similar to the sixtoen bombs seized in New York.

Orders went yesterday to all postal employees in the United States to be on watch for suspicious packages, and this, together with widespread pub licity, is counted upon to prevent de IK ry or any of the bomD parcels mat jay do in the mails. Post Office officials said they had T) ronnrrn an fur i-Airii rriintr tha Tinn ing of 14 infernal machines mailed to persons in the far West. Burleson Suggests Howard for Kaplan. One of the first things Postmaster General Burleson did today was to VrrltA Prurtmaatar Pattnn of Mow Vni! suggesting that suitable action be lasen to reward unanes ivapian. postofflce clerk, whose quick Judgment and good sense resulted in the discov ery of the 18 bombs.

They had been held since Saturday night for postage and on his way home in the early hours of the morning Kaplan read the newspaper account of the attempt to kill former Senator Hardwlck of Georgia, and immediately set about to prevent delivery of these packages. Information reaching the depart- i Inent overnight from New York was merely an elaboration of that given In press dispatches. This gave in detail every step in the infernal machine iiijDwiy iroin mq nine uie parcels were mailed Saturday night until sent to tne Bureau of Combustibles vester. day. The package in which the Postmaster General's bomb was wrapped was seni nere py New York inspectors.

Every Effort Being Made to Trace Plotters. All JT mi wiwiniuk iuo.il, (Hspcjuiauy parcels for Government officials, was scrutinl pm wiia unusual care. Meanwhile, collectors, carriers, railway postal Clerks and postofflce employees in every city were on guard, and agents of the Department of Justice were making every effort to establish the identity of the bomb plotters. In holding up the package addressed to Senator Overman the Post master ax naiiSDurv acted In ncrnr.i. ance with general orders issued last night to all employees of the Postal Eervtce to make every effort to pro-vent delivery of suspicious mail matter.

It was said here that the Salisbury package bore the Gimbel Brothers mailing label and in every way resembled those discovered in New York. The Chief Postal Inspector got into communication with the Salisbury Postmaster to Iearri something about the machine sent to the North Carolina Senator. Up to the time his report was received here there had been no overnight information as to other rinds, and some of the men in rh inspector's department who had been on the job all night expressed the opinion that practically the whole anarchistic output had been located. Reports from every section of the country indicated early today that a thorough search was still being made of the mails for other bombs. In Washington a close watch was kept on all official mail and there was little possibility of suspicious bundles getting out.

Clerk Discovers Bomb for Overman. Salisbury, N. May 1 A package believed to contain an infernal machine similar to those received by Senator Hardwick, Judge Landis and others, came to the Salisbury post-office last night from New York addressed to Senator S. Overman. It was discovered by-w postofflce clerk while assorting the mail this morning and is being held unopened by the postmaster until inspectors from Washington reach here.

The package was wrapped in paper marked Gimbel Brothers, New York. Had the package been delivered promptly at the Overman home it probably would have been opened without question as two daughters of Senator Overman were married last night and many gifts were received by mail and express from all parts of the country. Senator Overman stated today that he had received several letters recently threatening his life because of his activities against enemy propaganda In this country. Hold Bomb Packages in Chicago. i Chicago, May 1 The "novelty" package received by Federal Judge Landis through the mail from New York yesterday was opened today and found to be one of the same construction as the bombs found in the New York Postofflce and other parts of the country.

Police and federal officers today maintained strict watch around ait public buildings and institutions. Chief fjf Police Garrity held every available policeman, comprising 1,00, on night Suty, and 1,500 reserves on duty for any emergency. Federal officials were inclined to attribute the suspected attempt on the life Judge Landis ns the work of anarchists, rather than members of radical societies or individuals who have recently been before the courts Acting Chief P. J. Barry of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice said every effort would be made to trace the package to its source, although the postal stamps at the point of origin were illegible.

"I don't attribute the teempt on Judge Landis' life to the I. w. W.t" Chief Barry said. "They have too many things at stake now to try anything of the sort. I believe his and the others are the of a crank, for the sender lurks cunning.

He was not smart enough to use different wrappers or to make sure the postage is sufficient." Efforts of Socialists toward a May day celebration were balked by Chief of Police John J.

"We have no time for an affair of that kind.
