/. w. W. A1ti-War Fight
Cost 100000 in 7 Months;
Several Indictments Sought

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-More than
100000 was dispersed by the Chicago
Office Of the Industrial Workers Of the
World in the seven months prior to
August !, 1917, according to an audit
Of books taken in the raid by agents of
the Department Of Justice last week.
The money was handled by William d.
Haywood, secretary Of the orgsaiza
ton.
The amount used by the l. W. W.
this year exceeds disbursements last
year by 1000 per cent. Government
officials would not state where the
money had been obtained, but it was
limited that Chicago sympathizers of
the /. W. W. movement would never be
able TO contribute anywhere near
100000.
The books Of the organization were
presented TO the Federal grand jury,
which reconvened to-day, with Colonel
Henry Harris, Assistant United States
District Attorney, in attendance.
1t is believed the indictments OF sew
eral persons will be sought immedi-
stely by the government on charges
that they have received money from
enemy sources for propaganda against
the United States.
Government: officials refused 20 say
whether the names of any Of Ger
many's known spies or agents were
found in the books or papers taken in
the raid.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 10.-With
the temperature at fifty and few cell
lars supplied with coal, miners OF this
district refused TO 20 10. work to-day, as
protest against the action Of the
authorities, who broke Up Sundays
strike parade. Seventeen mines, en-
ploying more than 1900 men, were rem
Qered idle. No one could say when
work would be resumed
Frank harrington, state president Of
the miners organization. was in Wash
ington. In his absence, Secretary Mes
bit would make no statement. Other
leaders said, however, that no coal
would be mined until the authorities
permitted the parade.
Coal operators were not surprised.
They had been looking for forced
suspension for some time. The men
had been working steadily, excepting
those concerned in the recent unau-
thorized strike of the day men. They
are all we'll supplied with money.
Sheriff Wheeler said the authorities
had no objection TO a local parade, pro-
yided a permit was obtained. Sundays
parade was broken, he said, because
strike sympathizers purposed holding
il in defiance Of the authorities and
in opposition 10 the judgment OF union
officials. at time when the city was
filed with strangers, and il would be
difficult 20 maintain order.

Reply to Pope

Naturally we are all sorry that
the nation was needlessly plunged
into war ,..I
The capitalist class Of the United
States undoubtedly has in mind the
capturing Of the markets Of the
world, in alliance with the capitalist
class of England. Commercial con-
quest and imperialism, based on uni
versal military service at home, form
q very prominent part OF It's pro
grammes. It hopes TO reduce the
American people to virtual slavery.
Owe are in a war for tho beneht OF
the capitalists Of the nation
The war is being waged for their
benefit. They are pulling the wires
that run the whole war machine.
They are compelling the poor to hght
the battles. They are also compel
ing the poor to pay the bills" :,
OF the Presidents reply to the Pope's
latest peace proposal, Berger says:
"They the American people will
agree with most of the cenSures
which were hurled at the Kaiser, but
they believe that it is, for ths most
part. a case Of the pot calling the
kettle black"
Again, he says:
rs il any wonder that those who
know the cause and the object Of the
war feel that all that is sacred in
America has been profaned and out
ragged ."

McAdoo to Testify
In Soapbox Probe
Chief Magistrate To Be
Questioned by Grand Jury
About Courts Decisions

The grand jury investigating the
activities of "soapbox" orators will
question Chief Magistrate McAdoo to-
day about the decisions of some of his
colleagues in cases where the oratora
have been dicharged or given sus-
pended sentences for alleged seditious
and reasonable utterances. The po-
lice records show that such discharges
have been made by Magistrates Koenig
Marsh. Cobb, Groehl ard Fuchs.
II is probable that the magistrates
themselves will be summoned before
the grand jury. This, however, &C
cording TO Assistant District Attor-
ney John NJ. Mirton, does not impugn
the action Of the magistrates.
Judge Mcintyre, OF General Sessions,
will make another charge to the grand
jury on the law in the cases to-mor-
row. Il is probable that a presentment
will be handed up by the end Of the
week. In the meantime the grand jury
will hear testimony from Cleveland
Moffett, of the Vigilantes Society, and
Deputy Police Commissioner Cooley.

trates will bear in mind that We are

they will enforce the laws, and if the
newspapers will ignore the utterances
Of these seditious agitators, the prob
lem Of dealing with them will be easily

u. S. to Save Female Deer

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-The open
season for deer is row at hand in many
parts of the country, and in fifteen
states that law allows both bucks and
does to be killed. In the other states
does are protected at all seasons. The
United States Department of Agricult
ure strongly urges that these fifteen
states should make 1917 a close season
on does. II points out that about TO-.
100000 pounds Of venison are produced
IN year.
Since the does, as a rule, average less
in weight than bucks of the same age,
killing a doe instead of a buck usually
means considerably less meat. Further
more, the department points out that
the supply of deer will not increase if
the female is killed off. The rapidity
with which deer increase when docs
are protected is shown by the expert
ence in Vermont, Pennsylvania and
ether states, and a doe spared this fall
means one more fawn as well as one
more doe next spring.

Il Speer's decision was enough for
him. He has announced in the Geor-
gia papers that there will be no issue
OF The Jefersonian this week.
Watson is said to be thoroughly

Judge Speer's decision points directly

ia preparing for a three months holt

II is an important victory for the

Under the espionage law as now

Berkman Freed,
But Is Re-arrested
On Murder Charge
Anarchist Is Wanted for
Deaths in San Francisco
Bomb Conspiracy
Friends Raised Bail
$4,000 Had Been Contrib
uted to Release Him in
Anti-Draft Case
Friends Raised Bail

Generous cash contributions from his
friends and admirers to meet the bail
Of $4,000 demanded by the government
yesterday procured the release of Alex
arder Berkman, the anarchist leader, re-
Gently convicted of conspiracy against
the selective draft law, for few min
uteS.
Berkman'S followers raised $4,000
which. with the $4,000 that had been
impounded by the government from his
first bail bond, made up the amount re-
quircd for his release. 1t was accepted
by Alexander Gilchrist, a clerk Of the
Federal court, but as soon as Berkman
started 20 leave the Federal Building
lie was re-arrested by Police Lieuten-
ants Barnitz and Mccoy on a warrant
issued by the Superior Court of San
Francisco. The warrant charged Berk-
man with murder in connection with
the Preparedness Day explosion in San
Francisco, when several persons were
killed.
Just after his arrest Berkman was
greeted by Emma Goldman, Mary Ellen
Fitzgerald and Morris HillQuit, who &C
compsnied him and the police lieuten-
ants TO Police Headquarters. The pris-
Uner was later taken TO the Tombs
court for arraignment, but, as court
rad adjourned, he was taken back to
Headquarters, where he spent the night.
Berkman was recently sentenced to
two years in Atlanta, but was brought
10 New York when Justice Brandeis, of
the United States Supreme Court. per-
mitted him 10 appeal.
Morris Becker and Louis Kramer,
also sentenced 10 two wears each under
an identical conviction, received SINH
lar favor from Justice Brandeis,
Becker and Kramer offered $4,000 and
$4,000, respectively, in bail yesterday,
but. as their security was Brooklyn real
estate, release was denied.
II was said at the Federal Building
yesterday that Emma Goldman's utter
ances since her release on bail had
given offence, and that she would be
taken into custody again il she per-
sisted in her anti-conscription speeches
