LAMAR AND TAYLOR
 DENY INDICTMENTS
Released in $5,000 Bail-Six Others Yet to Answer
 Conspiracy Charges.

New York, Dec. 29.-Most of the eight men indicted by federal grand Jury for conspiracy to cause strikes in war intuition plants through Labor's National Peace Council are here or on their way to make their appearances before a United States commissioner and answer to the indictment. Frank $. Monnett, formerly attorney general of Ohio, one of the indicted men, left lis home in Columbus, bound for New York last night. He is said to have been chairman of committee on reso- lutions of the Peace council bu the de- tails of the part he is alleged to have played in the conspiracy are withheld by federal officials.
 Jacob c. Taylor of Newark, N J., president of the council, said today that everything was arranged fer the officers of the council to answer to their indictment. He added that he had telegraphed to them to come to New York at once. .r
 Two of the men indicted had sur rendered up to noon today and third was in town: Four other warrants were issued. These will be forward cd to Washington for immediate exc cution unless assurances are received that the men named will voluntarily come into court.
 The two defendants who surrend- dered during the forenoon were David Lamar, alleged paymaster for Captain Franz Won Rintelen, and Jacob Taylor of East Orange, N. J., president of Labor's National Peace council, the medium through which, the govern ment alleges, Won Rintelen sought to direct his activities Both entered pleas of not guilty and were released in $5,000 bail.
 Taylor denied ever knowing Lamar, and of Won Rintelen, he said, he had heard only through the newspapers. Labor's National Peace council, he said, received no German money: in fact, ne contended, its funds aggre- gated no more than $2,20O collected through voluntary subscriptions.
 The third defendant who significd his intention voluntarily to give him. self up and who came to New York from Columbus, Ohio, last night 7 for the purpose, is Frank S. Monnett, for mer attorney general of Ohio.

STEAMER THESSAL0NIkI
 AGAIN IN DISTRESS
Creek Ship About 25O Miles from New York With 300
 Passengers Aboard.

| New York, Dec. 29.-Summoned by l a wireless call for help, the coast l guard cutter Seneca is speeding to the l gid of the Greek steamer Thessaloniki. With 300 passengers aboard the Thes- l saloniki was in distress this morning about 250 miles east of New York | and laboring toward this port at the l I ate of two miles an hour. The Greek 1 vessel is bound from Piraeus, Greece, to New York. She passed Gibraltar December 1. Last Wednesday when TOO miles from the American coast she sent our her first IS. o. S." call reporting that her boiler and engine rooms had been partly flooded in a heavy storm. The steamship Stam- phalia hurried to her relief but soon received word that the Thessaloniki would not require aid as the water had been pumped from her holds.
 Yesterday morning the Thessaloniki reported by wireless that she was 300 miles east of Sandy Hook and in no danger. Early today the Atlantic transport liner Mongolia, lying at anchor off Sandy Hook, picked up a wireless message from the Thessa- loniki saying that she was again in distress, giving her position and add ing that she was making two miles an hour toward New York;
 The news was forwarded to the radio operator at the New York Navy Yard and then to the commander of the Seneca, which left the harbor at 3:20 a. m. The coast guard cutter, it was said, will require nearly twenty hours to reach the distressed steamer. Meanwhile, many wireless stations after vainly trying to communicate with her, sent the news to other steamers in the trans Atlantic lane on the chance of finding one which may have picked up @ later message from the Thessalonilxi.
 It was believed that the Thessa- loniki's radio apparatus had been so disabled that she could send messages only short distance.
 The wireless message asking for as- sistance received here from the Thes- saloniki was not signed by the captain but by the chief and other officers of the ship, coast guard service officials stated today. The absence of the cap tain's name was so unusual that it created considerable comment in maritime circles.
 The cutter Seneca which left here early today in response to the call for aid. is now endeavoring to communi- cate with the Greek steamer and the coast guard office expects report from the cutter later in the day. It is not drought that the Seneca can reach the Thessaloniki before tomor- row.
