New York. March 1.-Two indict-
ments were brought in by the federal
grand jury against the Hamburg
American Steamship company, its
general Representative and chairman
OF its directors in this country and
four other men. The indictments
charge conspiracy TO delraud the
United States.
One Indictment is for conspiracy
to defraud this government by caus-

the New York Office of the Hamburg
American line; J. Poppenhauso, who
served as supercargo on the steam
ship BerWind; George koctJer, telx
Seffner and AdOlph Hacmeister.
The federal grand jury had been
investigating since Friday last a com
plant made by Sir Courtenay Walter
Bennett, British consul general here,
and evidence submitted by the Office
OF the United States district attorney.
The consul general alleged violations
of the customs law in connection with
the charteTing OF the American steam
ships Berwind and Lorenzo and the
Norwegian steamships Fran and
Sommerstad.
The indictments charge the COM
pany, Mr.. Buenz and the others with
eonspiring to defraud this country
from Aug. /, 1914, to Feb. %, less
than week ago, "Willully, corruptly
and feloniously." Ii is charged that
"the defendants with others unknown

pany" and had the ships delivered at
various ports Of this country and
there laden with coal and other mer-
chandise.

On the same day, say the indict-
ments, Buenz met Koetter at the com
pany's offices and called in Gustav
B. Kulenkampf. Buenz told Kulen-
kampf, it is charged, that the Berwind
and Lorenzo were each loaded with
coal and asked Kulenkampf to exc
cute shippers manifests and secure
clearances. 1t is stated that Buenz
and Koetter told Kulenkampf that the
destination of the ships was Buenos
Ayres.

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of foreign power, I have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for

ing joined the church where the priests de-
pend on the wheat fields, the -four mills, and
the bakeries for their inexhaustible supply of
gods.
Perhaps they are sorry thew do not worship
woman, pray to host of Saints, bow down
to idols of stone and brass, purify them
selves with "holy water,' and cure their sick
ness by touching a nasty old bone.
Perhaps these Los Angeles Masons are Sc
cretly inclined to join the church. which de-
rives an enormous income from selling aOater
to ignorant dUpes who believe that it pos
sesses miraculous virtues after being made
"holy' by a swindling priest; from selling
pewter medals and pewter images, and cheap
beads cords and numberless other gim-cracks
from selling prayers for the souls of the dead;
from selling the alleged services of an
imaginary Saint Francis, Lady Of Victory
and other supernatural fctions who are be-
lieved by the dupes to search for lost horses,
lost money, to collect bad debts, to find ten
ants for vacant houses, purchasers for real
estate, jobs for the unemployed, and ganders
for the minated geese Of the "Holy Fathers"
flock.

Angeles one thing, which they will have cause
to remember:

Hereafter, whatever these American traitors
gain for their foreign master will not be

crafty old Jesuit cats as Cardinal Gibbons.

come through the sluice- gates of Immigra-

They are not the only Americans who can
buy Krag-J orgenson rifles, and drill for mil
itary service.
Let them hide their guns, If they like: they
now realize that they paraded Baltimore, and
City, TOO soon.
But we have seen the guns, and we have
seen the evidences Of a perfect secret drill;
and we remember the public threat of Arch
bishop Quigley of Chicago, that if our Gov
eminent passed any law which the papists
consider against their church, those guns of
the Central Verein, the Hibernians and the
Columbans were ready for use in the interest
of the foreign potentate whom they swear to
obey.

Of things.
See how great a change came over Ben Till
man, and Joe Bailey
Dune Fletcher of Florida is another eX-
ample.
His folks were Populsts, and he was an
apparently sincere peoples man.
1t was on that line that he became a leader
among the people of Florida
But the mode Of life in Washington has
made him different man, altogether.
HIS record Is SO bad that, If the people knew
it, as it really is, the corporations which rule
Florida and Georgia could not keep this little
henchman in office
He voted for the Coal Trust, but his people
do not know it.
He voted for Oil and Steel Trusts but his
people do not know it.
He voted for Lumber Trusts, and for the
Doodle Senator of the Lumber Trust-Lori-
mer-but the people of Florida do not know
it. u
The corporations control the daily papers
Of Florida, just as they control most of those
throughout the country, and the people never
know the whole truth about public men and
public measures.
Only the other day, the Interstate Commerce
Commission filed a report Of their discovery
that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
had spent millions of dollars, to control legis-
latures and public opinion in the South
The Louisville and Nashville is connected
with nearly every railroad system in the
South, and is controlled by New York capital
lists, In whose interest this campaign of cor
ruptlon has been Waged.
Two Of the crimes Of that campaign were
the assassination Of Goebel Of Kentucky, and
Carmack Of Tennessee.
Both these Southern leaders were fighting
the L. & n. Railroad, and Carmaci was
murdered by the lobbyist of the corporation
whose rottenness Carmack was exposing in his
paper.
Nobody was ever punished for the killing
of either Carmack or GOebel and the man
who was supposed to be responsible for the
Goebel murder, fled to Indiana, and both the
Old partles-Democratic and Republican,
have protected him.
Poor Mrs. Carmack wrote me that she tried
IN vain to have the truth about her husbands
assassination published in the daily papers of
Nashville and Atlanta, and that they refused
to allow it.
Those papers were no doubt getting some
OF the million dollars that this Northern cor
Poratlon was investing in its campaign against
the South.
Just before Senator Fletcher was to 90 be-
fore the people of Florida again for re-elec-
ton, he paraded himself before the public as
the ardent champion of Rural Credits.
He vowed loudly that he wanted the farmers
to have an independent source of loanable
money, where they could borrow at low inter-
est, and on long time.

Bulgaria Is MobiIizing Her Mace

Paris, Sept 21.-Dispatches from
Sofia, Bulgaria. announcing the mobil-

residents of Macedonia, have caused
another complication in the Balkan
situation.
The mobilization of Macedonians
has caused surprise and indignation
in official and diplomatic circles here
as 1t is declared that the whole pur-
pose Of the present negotiations be-
tween the allies and Bulgaria and Ser
via is to determine whether Macedo'
mia belongs to Bulgaria or Servia.
That Bulgaria should mobilize
MacedOnians, while the future of Ma
cedonia was still at issue, is declared
in the highest Servo-Greek quarters TO
be an affront to the allies and the
other Balkan states.

DUMBA GOING HOME
FOR CONSULTATION

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The Aus
trian government intends to recall
Ambassador Dumba for consultation,
according to limitations given to Am
bassador Penfield when he delivered
the note from the United States ask
ing for the return Of the ambassador
to Austria.
Such an arrangement, which is in
accord with Dumba's own request for
recall on leave Of absence, is satisfac-
tory to the American government. 1t
is understood, however, that Ambassa-
dor Dumba will not return to the
United States at the termination of
his leave. The purpose of these ar
rangements, it is understood, is to
cause no interruption in the diplomat
ic relations of the two governments,
the change being looked upon as per
sonal affair.
There is every indication from Am
bassador Penfield's dispatches that
the Austrian government received the
American note in friendly spirit and
looked upon it as the usual request
of a government for the recall of an
ambassador on the ground that his
usefulness to his own government
would be impaired by his continued
presence

to attack submarines whenever pos

by which it has been rendered i'm
