CALDER CAMP
COSTSU. S.S75,OO0
Government Pays for Dis.
tribution of Speeches
Lauding Candidate.

The United States Treasury is being
tapped to "pay the freight" for Will
lam VI. Calder in his campaign for the
Republican nomination for United
States Senator Speeches eulogozing
/ him are being sent broadcast through
the state at the expense of the govern
ment to such an extent that estimates
were made yesterday that the campaign
already had cost Uncle Sam between
500 900 and $4,000.
These eulogistic speeches ostensbly
were made in the House of Representa-
tives By friends of Mr.. Calder, and then
were sent to the enrolled Republicans
Of this state under Congressional frank.
Frequently speeches of this kind are
not made at all. The Congressman who
is sponsor for them spares his col
leagues the boredom Of listening to
them by availing himself of "leave to
print" This means they are printed in
"The Congressional Record" although
never delivered on the floor.
Three Speeches Distributed.
At least three Representatives have.
it is said, thought so well of Mr..
Calder's candidacy as to dip into the
Treasury to help him. One of these is
Luther w. Mott, who represents one
of the upstate districts. Under Con-
gressional frank he has sent to the
enrolled Republicans of this city and
upstate a copy of his speech of March
4. 1915. IN which ne praised Mr.. Calder's
ability. The date is that on which Mr..
Calder retired from Congress, and the
wording Of Representative Motifs
speech would indicate it was being
stored up for use in the Senatorial cam
paign.
REPRESENTATIVE Motifs speech bears
the imprint of the Government Printing
Ofice at Washington. The pamphlet IS
Of four pages. the speech occupying
two pages and half. 1t winds up as
follows:
"His public life has been such, in the
value Of its yield to the people, that
firmly hope and believe it will admit Of
no permanent retirement from service
in the American Congress of my friend
William NJ. Calder"
Costs Government $4,000.
Uncle sam, IT was estimated yester-
day, has 10 pay approximately $4,000
for the printing and distribution OF
each of these speeches. so the cost to
the government thus far has been IN
the ncighborhood of $4,000. Another
upstate Representative is said to he ono
OF the trio helping Mr.. Calder, with the
aid Of the Treasury.
MANY enrolled Republicans IN this
city who received the Mott speech last
week were a bit perplexed 10 know who
he was. Most Of them had never heard
of him. A glance at the right hand
corner OF the envelope. however, dis
closed his identity, for there was fac
simile of his signature. under which

Negro Shot Brothers Before He Men,
aced Sleuth.

Detective Edward Rose was leaving
$50 Sixth Avenue yesterday afternoon
after an Intellectual effort to find a man
for whom he had warrant, when two
shots sounded in the hallway behind
him. The detective was about to re-
enter the hall, when the door opened,
and negro, revolver in hand, con-
fronted him.
"Get out o. my way." roared the
holder OF the gun, levelling it at the
detective.
Rose drew his own revolver and
fred. The bullet took effect near the
heart, and death resulted few min
utes later at st. Vincent's Hospital.
Reginald Pinkard. a former convict,
and recognized as a dangerous gunman
by the police, is the man killed. His
mother had sworn out a warrant for
the arrest of his brother. Lawrence,
who was charged with creating dis
turbance there a week ago. Rose had
endeavored to serve the warrant, but
Lawrence was not there.

CALLS WATSON TRAITOR
TO GEORGIA DEMOCRACY
Roland Ellis, at Dinner, Urges
Barring Him from Party.

Atlanta, Feb. 20.--Leaders of Georgia
Democracy were given a rebuke for
dealing with alleged traitors to the
party at dinner at which Governor
Harris and the members of the State
Democratic Executive Committee were
present. Several speakers had referred
in scathing terms to certain insidious
influences in the state which were
working against the Democratic party
from the inside.
"The Democratic party in this state
is inyincible, unless it be betrayed by
traitors" said Senator Tom Hardwick.
There are many Georgians who
have consistently voted in our prima-
ries and then bolted when the election
came. 1t is time for US 10 make this
a real Democratic party and bar these

Thanks Authorities for
Aiding Birth Control
Cause by Publicity.
HAILED AS VICTOR
OVER PERSECUTION
Courts Serve Purpose by Pro"
noting Our Fight" She
Tells Audience.

A prima donna on farewell tour
could have justifably envied the en-
thusiastic reception given Mrs. Marga-
ret Sanger at the Bandbox Theatre last
evening.
When the little woman, plainly
garbed in a brown suit Of corduroy,
stepped to the front of the stage she
was greeted with an outburst or ap-
plsuse which lasted ten minutes.
The playhouse was iammed. Hun
dreds were refused admission, and what
was to have been meeting rendered
to martyr became a jubilee accorded
a victor.
Birth control was the topic Of the
evening. but this important subject was
shclved at times for criticism OF the
Federal authorities, the unsympathetic
public and the newspapers.
Prosecution was called persecution,
the newspapers were thanked for ad-
vertising "The Little Rebel" and Mrs.
Sanger herself brought burst OF ap-
plause when she declared: "You can
10 longer say the courts do not serve
their purpose, for in helping to pro-
mote the fight for birth control they
have more than served purpose"
Mrs. Marion B. Cothren. presiding,
introduced Mrs. Sanger as "the little
woman who has taken the first big step
in this country which will ultimately
lift the ban on birth control"
Mrs. Sanger Says Publicity VIII Aid
Women want birth control in this
country,and organized action will bring
il about. Publicity will hasten it,
said Mrs. Sanger.
when birth control leagues are es-
tablshed here We will soon resolve
all social problems, such as mental de-
fectlyeness, deformity, settlement prob
lens and child labor conditions. We
will practically wipe out infant mortal

they have hfty-seven clinics for teach

in France conditions are just the
opposite, and the infant mortality is
the highest in the world, because the
authorities and clergy have fought
birth control. England is almost in
the same condition. There is a greater
need in this country for the work. The
facilities and equipment are much bet
ter. We can outstrip all Europe in
ten years if this matter is taken up.
The trouble over here Is that we are
regulated by conventions.

Mr.. Shonts denied that he made the
statement. and emphatically declared
he knew nothing of any slush fund.
Mr.. Shonts is scheduled to take the
stand again this morning. 1t is pos
sible that the resignation of Mr.. Colby
may mean a postponement of his ex-
animation for couple of days. The
Thompson committee has until March
20 complete its work, but, as already
published in The Tribune, an exten-
sion OF its life will probably be aske

John Bordwell, secretary to Senator
Thompson, left for Boston yesterday
with the letter Mr.. Shonts wrote Sat-
urday, asking the counsel to the ex-
ecutor of the Lane estate to surren-
der any letters or memoranda bearing
on him or Interborough matters. Ser
ator Thompson believes that the men,

Lane wrote, in watch it is alleged the
reference to the S2,0G0,000 slush fund
is made, will be found among Mr.

ANARCHISTS TO REVOLT
IF u. S. GOES TO WAR
Let Kings and Capitalists Fight
but Workers Must Refuse.

A revolution to keep the United
States out Of war was the doctrine
preached yesterday by the Anarchist
Propaganda Group from its headquar-
ters in Philadelphia.
The anarchists declare that "Ali
forms Of government are in existence
for one purpose; 10 uphold the present
system"
"We shall not interfere" they say
ain any way Whatsoever in war ioughV
by kings, presidents, government OH
cials and all those who own the world
land, property and wealth. But If they
declare war and call on the majority OF
the people to defend things they haven I
cot then we urge the workers to be
ready and use such an opportunity 70
start the revolution, which is the only
thing that will bring absolute free dom,
where all who live shall have all theJ
need, and enjoy life"

Lodges Friends Jubilant
Over Bay State Outlook

Washington. Feb. 20.-Friends of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, drew long sighs Of relief
when the word came from the Bay
State that the Senator, Senator Weeks,
ex-senator w. Murray Crane and Gov
ernor Mccall would be candidates for
the Massachusetts Big Four. unpledged.
II was admitted here tonight that had
the McCall-W Weeks forces been unable
TO get together. thus bringing on d
three-cornered fight, with the Roosevelt
crowd forming the third, the chances
for the reelection OF Senator Lodgs
next fall as d United States Senator
would have been rather too small TO
be enjoyable. Since the formation OF
the coalition big four" however, there
has not been any doubt that Senator
Lodge would be reelected.
While the formation of the coalition
meant a decided sacrifice by Senator
Weeks, IN that he thereby gave up hope
Of having a big four pledged to him.
it meant the salvation OF the organ
ization as il exists in the Bay State.
Without that surrender by Weeks, Gov
ernor Mccall probably would have en-
tered the race, Or. il Mccall decided
not to run, that some one else would
have made the race. probably with tn ,
backing of ex-senator Crane.
Senator Lodge, who was pledged long
ago TO make the race for the Big Four
pledged TO Weeks. would have been pu.
in the position not only of fighting for
Weeks against Mccall, but of fighting
for him against Roosevelt, his old
friend, and against Representative A.
7. Gardner, one of the Roosevelt Big
Four and Lodges son-in-law. In such
a three-cornered fight there would have
been abundant opportunity for bitter
ness to develop, which would, in all
probability, have resulted in more o.
less detection when Senator Lodge
came up in November.
Each faction that failed to get what
il wanted in the three-cornered fight
would have cherished some resentment.
and one Of the first opportunities 10
pay off old scores would have been in
the November election. with Senator
Lodge AS shining mark. Friends OF
the Senator were frankly worried over
the situation early in the week, and
there is a marked feeling OF relief here
now that the Seaator's path has been
smoothed.

EXtradition of Lincoln
To Be Decided To-day

The egotism of the self-heralded
German spy, lgnatius Timothy
Trebitsch Lincoln, proved the greatest
aid TO the agents working under Cap
tain William Offiey, of the Department
of Justice, for his capture. His case Is
to come up before the United States
Supreme Court to-day TO decide
whether or not he is TO be extradited
to England.
The capture was brought about
through the assistance given 70 the
special agents of the government by
several naturalized citizens of German
birth, it was learned authoritatively.
Egotistical as Lincoln is, he is a
mystery TO the Federal authorities.
After his arrest, at Broadway and Thir-
tieth Street, Saturday night, he laugh
ingly admitted that he was the much
sought for Lincoln.
"Yes, yes" he replied TO John
Grgurevich, in charge of the Depart
ment Of Justice in Baltimore, who came
here 10 assist in the capture, Il am
Lincoln, the German spy. You got me
just in time. Why, | was going to

There was sufficient proof to sub

connection with Lincoln's escape and
success in keeping under cover.
One thing was positively stated at
the Office of the Department of Justice,

and that is that Lincoln never had any
knowledge Of the inner workings OF
the reputed German bomb plots or the
German propaganda in the United
States.
