H. J. Thomson of the Canadian army, arrested in Seattle yesterday on a charge of violating the U. s. neutrality laws, admitted today in the Pierce county jail, where he is held as a federal prisoner, that he influenced a number of Tacoma musicians to go to Victoria and join the legion.
 My attorney told me to say noth. ing" he said, but I would like to have it known that had no idea that l was
 violating the law, or l wouldn't have acted as l have been charged. l ob-
 tained leave of absence from my re- giment and without my colonels per mission came across the line to find some of the musicians with whom l served in the Spanish-American war in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pines. l found two of them in Seat
 tie and one in Tacoma, and they were tickled to death to have a chance to get into my band and go to the front again. l paid no fares, but merely told them the circumstances and that they could enlist in Victoria, thinking
 that by doing this l was not violating
 the law"
 Fought In U s. Wars. Captain Thomson, who is 59 years
