East of Broadway and west of the
Hudson River there are those to whom
anything tagged Fifth Avenue" is
anGthema. To those who are prone to
appeal to the proletariat Fifth Avenue
suggests the money devil and all his
works and wiles and brings up visions
of those plutocrats habitually described
as grinding the bodies of the poor that
they may live on the fat of many lands
AT Delmonico's and Sherry'S.
SO thoroughly have the opponents of
the money devil drilled all this into the
proletariat that he who would appeal to
that element habitually lodges any
thing that will identify him with what
Emma Goldman has called Avenue of

Irish Freedom, who announced that
the meeting had been ordered dis.
persed by Acting Deputy Commissioner
Alexander NJ. White.
Tank Disperses Crowd
But the crowd stood firm, the thirty
policemen making not the slightest
impression on il. For a moment it
looked as il clubs would have to be
welded, when there was a shrill siren,
shaft of binding light, and the
police tank" with three uniformed
men and a seaTchlight mounted aloft,
bore down from Broadway.
Women shrieked and shrank toward
the buildings as the car was driven
into the thick Ct the crowd. First the
tank" kept 70 the street, but when the
thousands who persisted leaped TO the
sidewalks, the tank" followed them
I'd and harried them on to Broadway.
On the corners the last trenches were
held for q short time, but these, too,
fell when the machine went tearing
and humping its way, unmindful OF
curbstone or obstruction. IL scattered
the crowd up as far as Thirty-ninth
Street and down as far as Thirty-tfth.
These tactics finally melted away
what part of the crowd had not fol-
lowed the two prisoners 70 the West
Thirtieth Street station. There Com
White declared that Conway
had been guilty Of disorderly conduct
in making utterances which caused the
crowd to hoot.
Moore Denounces White
"No one has to be hit or hurt in
order to make it an offence of disorder
ly conduct, and that is the ruling We
are going TO follow in the future"
After the prisoners were taken to
Night Court, John d. Moore, national
secretary of the Irish association, said:
Deputy Commissioner White, the
Wall Street representative at Police
was solely responsible
for the breaking up of our meeting.
The whole performance was joke, and
we will make him realize it,
Crowd Driven From Night Court
When $50 friends" later marched on
the Mems Night Court TO be. present
when Conway's case was called they
found a small army of police reserves
awaiting them. The policemen had
been instructed TO permit no crowds to
gather in or near the court, lest there
be a repetition of the rioting which
occurred after the Irish meeting last
night was broken up.
Conway was held in $500 bail.

Mammon.' In the careless moment
that Charles F.. Murphy permitted it to
become known that he had a weakness
for dining on the avenue he supplied
an earnest army of enemies with much
ammunition.
The Peoples Council, which above
all things appeals to the proletaria',
is more careful than Murphy was.
True. it too has weakness for Fifth
Avenue. In truth. there is its domicilc
at No. 20. But there is nothing II
its appeals to the proletariat to sug-
gest that it. too, is tanned with Fifth
/ Avenue. The side door of mo. TO-

Government Presses
For a Decision

The government, however, was more
interested in the amendment to Wat
sons case, and pressed for q decision
on whether or not THE Jeffersonian"
could be debarred from the mails I'M
der the provisions of the espionage
law, as it is this point on which hang
the cases of all the other seditious
publications.
At the first hearing Watson and his
lawyers attempted to argue that the
espionage law was unconstitutional, as
it interfered with the right of free
speech and freedom of The press. But
during the course of that hearing they
received Judge Speer's decision declar-
ing the selective draft law constitu-
tional, and they abandoned their argu-
ment against the constltutionality of
the espionage law, conceding that it
was constitutional
The second hearing in the case was
held August "a and 25, and the ques-
ton had narrowed down to whether or
not the matter published in THE JEFF
fersonian" was seditious and treason
able. Judge Speei's decision on this
point will decide the fate not only of
"The Jeffersonian" but of scores of
other publications of like nature.

Seditious Matter
Non -Mailable

Sec. .. Every letter, writing, cir
cular, postal card, picture, print, en-
craving, photograph, newspaper, pam
phlet, book or other publication, mat
ter or thing, Of any kind, containing
any matter advocating or urging
treason, instruction, or forcible re-
sistance to any law of the United
States, is hereby declared to be non
mailable.
"Sec. 3. Whoever shall use or at
tempt 10 use the mails or Postal Ser
vice of the United States for the
transmission of any matter declared
by this title to be non-mailable shall
be fined not more than $4,000 or i'm
prisonment not more than FIVE years,
or both. Any person violating any
provision of this title may be tried
and punished either in the district in
which the unlawful matter or publ
cation was mailed, or to which it was
carried by mail for delivery accord
ing 70 the directions thereon, or in
which il was caused to be delivered
by mail to the person to whom it was
addressed"
1t is important to note that tn,
espionage act is self-repealing at the
end of the war. 1t is purely a war
time measure.
As soon as the order was issueC
