SAYS NOT GUILTY
Sing SiEg Warden Answers
Grand Jury Indictment.
Characterizes Charge as "FOul
Conspiracy"

New York, Dec. 29.-Thomas M
Osborne, warden of Sing Sing prison,
went to White Plains today for ap-
pearance before the supreme court to
answer to indictments by the West
Chester county grand jury charging
him with perjury, neglect of duty,
mismanagement and immortality.
When informed of Superintendent
Riley's intention to remove him as
soon as a successor could be found, the
warden said:
'I know superintendent Riley is
not a party to the foul conspiracy
against me. He will give me a fair
show while waiting to see whether 1
am guilty or not. This indictment
surely does not convict me nor would
it ever do So
1t was learned today that after he
was informed of his indictment Mr..
Osborne addressed the 1900 prisoners
at Sing Sing, gathered in the mess
hall, told them that it was possible he
would be suspended and exacted from
them promise to live up to the prin-
ciple of the Mutual Welfare league
and to continue order and discipline
Every prisoner in the hall stood up to
pledge himself as requested.

During the whole of the recent session Of

That's Smith, all over.

Sam IS mighty shy about giving out the facts
as to his insuring the cotton, after Lending the
SPECTATOR the money to bug 1t qcith.
Uncle Sam hastily made more than $780,
OOOOOO OF new money, and loaned it to the
spectators who were buying your cotton at
SIX cents

a new railroad, not to buy ships, not to
finance the merchants bit qraS to bug yo1n

That is Just what that new money was

Uncle Sam would not buy your cotton nor
tend y0U the money TO hold 1t, but it created
hundreds of millions of new money to enable
the 8pecuLator TO bay 1t, and TO hold It,
Then it insured the cotton, and insured the

that "the Bureau Of War Risk Insurance was
established on September 2, 1914, and since
that date has insured cotton at rori0us prices

Why won't they tell me at least few of
these various prices?
And why don't they specify which market

EDITORIAL NOTES
by j. ID. WATSON


into Newport News, Va, last Wednesday,
after making a voyage of destruction covering
10000 miles.
Since last January %, this cruiser, formerly
North German Lloyd passenger steamer, has
sent to the bottom of the ocean the British
sailing ship, lnvercoe, with a crew of %; the
British steamer Mary Ada Short, with a crew
OF %; the French steamer, Floride, with a
crew Of So; British steamer Willerby, with a
crew Of 81; Russian, Isabel Brown, with crew
Of 10; French Pierre Lott, with a crew of "a !;
French, jacobson, crew 90; and the Amaerican
sailing ship, VIM. p. Frye e0lth crea0 Of 81,
besides the ac1tc and captain Of the vessez.
At the time the American vessel was sunk
she was on her way from Seattle to Queens
town with a cargo of 5000 bushels of wheat,
which at that time was not contraband OF war,
but the captain of the German cruiser makes
the explanation that he thought it was condi-
ti0nn1 c0ntrubdnd, and of course acted in ac-
cord with his thoughts.
This brings about situation that calls for
frmness at Washington, because under the
position that Germany has maintained toward
the shipment of foodstuffs it was simply the
Wanton destruction of an American vessel,
flying the American flag, for no other reason
than to destroy.
Germany will undoubtedly be glad to make
apologies and pay for the vessel and cargo,
but can Washington afford to be satisfied with
this?
If Germany, or any other nation, is allowed
to treat the American flag with this kind Of
contempt how long will it be before the fac
will be held in contempt-hoW long will it be
before foreigner believes that the American
flag affords license to treat with contempt,
instead OF being protection to an American
citizen or vessel?
We cannot afford to be satisfied with an
apology denying Germany's sanction of her
vessels action putting the blame upon the in
dividual captain.
Besides, payment for the vessel and cargo,
and the apology from Germany, we should
insist that proper punishment be melted those
responsible for the act of Wanton violation Of
international law.
* IS
Following closely the appearance of the
German cruiser at Newport News with the
news of sinking the American vessel, comes
a dispatch from the Brazilian Minister in
Mexico, notifying our government that the
home of an American has been broken into by
troops of Zapata, and the American shot to
death.
1t is officially admitted that the American
had the American flag flying over his home
at the time his house was forcibly entered,
but that did not make the Zapata troops hest
tate minute-they had not forgotten the
Vera Cruz fasco, which cost us about S., OOO,-
600, and they did not dread the demand for
their punishment that Washington would
make.
Washington has demanded that the guilty
soldiers be punished, but Washington de-
manded also that the flag be saluted at Vera
Cruz We have five more vessels on their
way to Vera Cruz now to join those already
there, but if virtually the whole American
North Atlantic feet could not make the
Mcxicans salute the flag, how can these ten or
twelve vessels at Vera Cruz enforce the order

When Ryan was questioned as to his rea-

and what he discussed with certain members
of Congress, he insolently refused to answer
the question.
Twice he was asked to answer, and twice

There is statute that provides for prose

The chairman of the committee read Ryan
the law, and then granted his request to con-

answer.
