National Movement to
Aid the Unemployed

New York, March ia national
movement to help the unemployed by
means of the churches was discussed
this afternoon at meeting of minis
tiers of many denominations. AL the
clergymen of the city will be asked to
sign call for general church meet
ing in New York for the purpose of
adopting definite plan of action.
A tentative plan now under consid
Grafton is the establishment of free
employment bureaus in all the princi
pal cities, which shall cooperate in
: their efforts. The plan contemplated
also that every church throughout the
United States shall have a voluntary
unemployment committee to work in
connection with these state bureaus.
Frank s. Hamilton, who has succeed
ed Frank Tannenbaum as leader of
the unemployed among the Industrial
Workers of the World since Tannen-
baum was put in jail, said today that
the unemployed did not desire or eX
pect help from an organized church
movement.
1--WE may have 10 ask the churches
for food and shelter temporarily" he
said. I'VE expect to organize the un-
employed in this and every other city
into a union that will demand decent
wages and decent conditions in which
TO work. Gov. Glynns proposition to
send unemployed men into the country
to work on farms is foolish. The coun-
try is under two feet of snow and
there is nothing that can be done in
the way of farm work"

Mexican Soldiers
Interned in u. S.
Compelled to
Delay Action
DISTRICT JUDGE DECLARES
HE HAS NO JURISDICTION

San Antonio, Texas, March 13.-Ap-
plication for the release of Mexican
Federal soldiers interned at Fort Bliss
was ready to be filed in Federal court
here today when lack of a judge to
hear the petition caused H. r. Gamble
of Ell Paso, representing the prison
ers, to postpone action.
United States Judge Maxcy of this
district is in New Orleans on the cir
cult bench and when Judge Walter I.
Burnie of the southern district of
Texas was asked to hear the petition
he ruled he was without jurisdiction,
not having been formally designated to
hear it.
Tonight Mr.. Gamble was consider
ing going to Houston to present the
application to Judge Burnie despite
the judges ruling and his further an
nouncement that an unusually heavy
docket there would prevent his giving
prompt hearing to the petition.
Habeas corpus petitions for the ref
ugees. who were interned after they
fled 20 the United States from Ojinaga
before General Villa and the Consti-
tutionalists, has been rumored for
some time.
Unconditional release of the Next
cans is demanded in the petition
which Mr. Gamble announced tonight
he would request be made returna-
BILE in FL PaSo the first Monday in
April. Notice that an application fro
habeas corpus would be filed is said
to have been formally given military
authorities at Fort Bliss.
According to a recent announce
ment of attorneys for the Mexicans'
release of the prisoners will be asked
under a contention that The Hague
treaty does not apply in this case. A
section of that treaty provides that,
when the forces of either of two ma
tons at war enter a third country,
they shall be interned for the period of
the conflict. Attorneys for the Next
cans declare that this does not cover
a purely civil strife. 1t was intimat-
ed when the first announcement was
made that the case would be carried
to the United States supreme court
if necessary.

Boston, March 13.-The department

A number of the bank depositors will

1t was said today that the district

New Complexities in
Siegel Store Closing

New York, March 13.-On the eve Of
the closing of the two great New York
department stores once controlled by
Henry Siegel and Frank f. Vogel, both
under indictment, charges were laid
before District Attorney Whitman that

employees was hopelessly involved with
the deposits in the Siegel private
bank, now defunct.
More than 200G employees, who will
lose their jobs tomorrow when the
stores are closed by order of the Fed
eral court, heard that they were like
ly to suffer this loss in addition to
their savings which more than half of
them had deposited in the bank.

Bandit Information

Ell Paso, Texas, March 1S.-An informal

the rebels are to give Gen. scott prompt
information of the movements of bandit
bands along the border. In this way the

patrols on the alert to prevent the occa-
slonal raids of these bandits into Ameri-
can territory. The committee of Span
iards having charge of the distribution of
relief funds to destitute Spanish refugees
from Mexico met today, and it was re-
ported that $4,000 contributed from
Spain, Argentina, Cuba, Mexico City and
other places had been distributed A let
ter from the Spanish minister at Wash
ington was read to the effect that the
rebels have promised that Spaniards will
not be Disseminated against in future
campaigns.
No further information of the Carranza
commissions investigation which is said
to involve two of General Villas officers
in the killing of William s. Benton and
Gustav Bauch, was available.
