But Say They Planned to
Alter Handbills Which
Violated Draft Statute
Abb for Miss Parker
Barnard Girls Part in Plot
Largely Agitation Against
Passage Of Bill

Charles F. Phillips and Owen Catteil
swore yesterday that 1t was their IN
tention TO alter the phrsseology OF the
anti-conscription pamphlet they pre-
pared and printed so as to bring Al
within the law. r..
These statements Of the young 70
lumbia students, on trial with Mts,
Eleanor Wilson Parker in the CrihIn ma.
Branch Of the United States ClrSui'
Court for conspiracy against the selec-
tive draft act, were MADE III response
to questions Of their counsel Motifs
Hillquit.
phillips was the first to take the
stand after Judge Mayer denied the mo-
tons of the defence to dismiss the
case. On cross-examination Harold A.
Content. Assistant United States Attor,
new. brought out that Philips had
pleaded guilty to refusing to register,
although government officials warned
him that failure meant arrest
Mr.. Content also had the defendant
admit that in the many conferences
he had with Federal officials he never
informed them that he at any time IN
tended to keep within the law. Like
wise he admitted that he knew that IN
having the circular printed he was vlo-
lating the law. Cattell made similar
admissions.
When Phillips left the stand re-
cess was taken, and Marshal Mccarthy
drove from the courtroom thirty friends
of Phillips. Phillips asked Marshal NC
Carthy to let them return.
IL don't want to talk TO YOU, said
the marshal. "You think this IS
vaudeville show, and you want your
friends TO see you act"
Cattell, on cross-examination, admit
ted that he knew that the printer,
Harry Spiegel, who struck off the Of
Tending anti-conscription handbllls,
printed Mother Earth and other an
archistic publications.
Judge Mayer took a hand in ques-
tioning the defendants and brought out
favorable testimony for Miss Parker
who was extremely nervous Yesterday
The court elected the fact that Miss
Parker had not been party TO the
preparation Of the manuscript for the
handbills after the seleetive draft bill
became a law, so that her part was
largely agitation against pending bill
before Congress.
Miss Parker will take the stand to-
day

Woods Takes Steps
ToCurb Soldiers at
Public Meetings
Protest Brings Order For
bidding Attendance of
Uniformed Men

Police Commissioner Woods yester-
day took energetic steps to put stop
to the activities of uniformed soldiers
at public meetings. Basing his action
on official reports that National
Guard have created disorder az
East Side anti-draft meetings, by lock
ing doors, arresting scores of men and,
without authority, drawing their weap-
ons TO intimidate street crowds. Mr..
Woods sent a protest TO National Guard
Headquarters. IL is understood that
the Police Commissioner made it plain
that hereafter the Police Department
intends to maintain order at public
meetings without the aid of uniformed
soldiers
A short time later, Colonel Elmors
F. Austin, commander of the Sth Coast
Defence, announced that he had issued
orders to his 1,400 men, forbidding
them to attend meetings in uniform. II
any soldier violates the order he is TO
be taken before summary court and
no leniency will be shown. Reports
show that members of the 22d En-
gineers and the I'd Field Artillery also
Intimations came from Major Cen
eral Organs headquarters that the
curb on the soldiers exercising police
power would become general. After
he had talked with Deputy Police Com
missioner Durham. Major Edward
Olmsted, assistant chief of staff said
he expected no more complaints would
be made.
Undoubtedly, the poor tact shown
by the soldiers in going TO East Side
meetings has done much to stir up Bit
terness against the uniform" said a
prominent National Guard official yes
terday. 1.-THE soldiers acting on their
own initiative thought they were as
sisting the police and the officials of
the United States District Attorneys
Office, but instead they made the sit
uation more critical for the police"
A committee composed of the Rev.
Norman Thomas, Miss Alice Lewisohnn.
Roger n. Baldwin, Gilbert Roe. l.. Hol-
lingsworth Wood and Oswald Garrison
Willard, called on Mr.. Woods to urge

At The Lyric

Lovers of high-class Keith vaudeville will be highly entertained at this after noon's matinee as a very attractive pro- gramme will be presented. The entertain ment will appeal to the Saturday after noon matineegoer and the theare is one of the coolest and most comfortable places in the city.
 Will Oakland and company are the headline attraction and they present a high-class song number. James Cullen is another extraordinary entertainer on the bill. He sings few songs, tells few jokes and pleases immensely. He is the producer of the programme.
 Warren and Conley present a breezy bit of entertainment and please in their songs, dances and chatters. The Me- Intyres are crack marksmen and do some rifle shooting the equal of which is rarely seen.
 A very attractive number on the pro- gramme is presented by the Leon sis ters. They entertain in a tight-wire and iron jaw act and present thrilling ex- hibition. The curtain at the matinee will go up promptly at o'clock.
