Department Officials Gratined.

Officials of the Department of Justice
| appeared to be elated last night upon re-
ceipt of news from New York that the
Federal grand jury sitting in that city
had returned indictments against Repre-
| sentative Frank Buchanan, of Illinois:
| II. Robert Fowler. former Representative
! from Illinois: David Lamar. the Wolf of
Wall street." Henry B. Martin, Herman
Schulteis and other persons associated
with them in the organization of Labor's
National Peace Council on a charge Of
conspiracy in violation of the antitrust
law.
Representative Buchanan. a Democrat
affiliated with the labor group in Con-
gress. and Mr.. Fowler. another Demo
crat who was connected with the labor
movement for years, last night an
nounced a purpose TO fight the govern
ment to the end. Mr.. Buchanan said
that he would probably offer a resolution
providing for a Congressional inquiry
into the case. and he made II known that
he would press his resolution. offered
some days ago. looking to the impeach-
ment of Fl. Snowden Marshall. United
States district attorney for the Southern
district OF New York. under whose Girec-
tion the indictments against Buchanan
and others were returned.
Initiated by Department..
1t was made known here yesterday that
the case against Buchanan and the
others indicted was initiated in the De-
partment of Justice. 1t is the under
standing that the government will at
tempt to show that about sI5O.Od0 was
paid by Won Rintelen, the former German
agent in this country, to Lamar and
others with a view of fomenting strikes
In factories making munitions for the
allies. Won Rintelen. II was said. had the
idea that the best way for the central
powers to combat the allies in the United
States was investing heavily in schemes
to disrupt industry. The government is
said to be In possession Of Information
that Lamar was introduced to Won Rim
telen by Andrew Maloy. now under in
dictment in New York for alleged Of
fenses against American neutrality
Lamar Is said to have been described to
the German agent as a man OF influence.
The understanding obtains here that in
the development of the case against the
Labor Peace Council officials Meloy has
been one Of the chief sources Of the gov
ernment's Information.
"Frame-up," Says Bachanan.
Mr.. Buchanan last night denounced
the indictment against him as a |
"frame-up." He insisted that any evil |
dence that was presented must have !
been "perjured." He denied any asso- |
citation with Won Rintelen or Lamar. !
and declared that At no time I'm the !
course of his affiliation with the |
Peace Council had he advised or coun- |
seled concerning strikes in munition !,
factories.
A statement prepared by Mr.. !
Fowler and Messrs. Martin and Schultz !
els was made public at the offices Of !
the American Antitrust League, of
which Martin and Schulteis are ofrf- /,
GERS. They declared that this quar- !
rel with the agents of the war trust |
will be settled hilt to hilt.'

The Meyer-Nelson case was reopen
ed yesterday in the district court, the
difference being in the change Of plain
tiff and defendant and in the amount
OF damages claimed. The former case.
tried some months ago in the county
court. was Nelson VS.. Meyer and was
for sir hundred dollars money demand.
Meyers pleaded as part of his defense
iilegality of contract. entered into by
alleged false representations. but of
this he failed to convince the jury.
Now It appears that he is making this
the basis of his plea for damages to
the extent of about $4,000 asked. The
case opened for trial yesterday morn
ing. In the county court the hearing
consumed nearly a week. Just how
much time will be occupied by it in
the district court session is hard to
predict.
