yesterday mornifg relative toathes 4ase
Of County Auditor 8 G.. Vogel, but
nothing definite transpired during the
discussion. sss5s.5
The Twin City papers Of Monday
afternoon printed stories to the effect
that it was understood the commission
intended to exonerate1Mr Vogel. That,
Mr.. Mueller said over the telephone, was
only rumor, and no one knew at that
time what the commission would do.
DR. Fritsche's testimony occupied
Monday afternoon and Tuesday fore
noon.
DR.. Fritsche said that he was born
in New Ulm SIS years ago and had
lived there nearly all his life; that he was
married to a sister of Attorney Pfaender
and had six children, including two
drafted sons, and that he was mayor Of
New Ulm seven years and coroner Of
Brown county for IL years.
A bartender and a tinsmith at New
Uln called at his, office Monday night
before the Wednesday meeting that at
tracted vide attention to New Ulm, he
said, and asked him to go to Turner hall
to meet some drafted men who wanted
the draft law explained to them. He
accompanied them and there the meeting
was planned and he later consented to
preside, he said, after being informed
that H. G. Hess, superinte of schools
and county director for the State Public
Safety commission, had given his sane
ton.
A copy Of DR.. Fritsche's speech was
introduced and he added that he never
made any other similar public talks, but
that he did sign a petition to Congress
asking amendments to the draft law
and that he considered that proper. He
testified that the drafted men responded
to call and that he did not consider it
improper for a chief executive to preside
at such a meeting.
Insists Sympathies With America.
Attorney Tighe then began cross

When asked if he wanted to see the
United States win the war against Ger
many he answered emphatically that he
did. It was when he was asked if he
would be willing to fight for his country
that he displayed the copies Of the various
letters in which he had offered his SER
vices to the country, and their answers,
which in every case his offers were de-
clined because CT his age.
Attorneys for the prosecution asked
him him Why he had refused to sign state
ment to the safety commission, express
ing regret for having assisted in pro-
noting the meeting?" he declared that
he could not do so for the reason that he
had nothing whatever to do with pro-
noting the meeting farther than had been
stated. He would be willing, he said.
to sign the statement with the objec.
tionable paragraph eliminated.
Couldn't find Eibner.
A subpoena had been issued for Act
ing Mayor Eibner, when it was intended
to have him explain his connection with
the parade and meeting, in which it
is alleged he took more or less active
part, but he was out Of the city and
Sheriff julius was unable to serve the
paper.
The hearing was resumed in the
Senate Chamber at the State Capitol
Monday morning.
Hearing in St. Paul.
The examination of Mayor L. a..
Fritsche at the. st. Paul hearing by the
State Safety commission into the New
Ulm meeting, was ended at noon yester-
day. Major Pfaender took the stand
at the afternoon session. and it was
expected that his evidence would be all

Drafted Boys Wanted it.
r. H. Retzlaff told of his connection
with planning for the mass meeting to
which the Safety Commission had taken
exceptions. He said it was held because
the drafted boys wanted it, and he felt
it his duty to- assist them. The prime
object of the meeting was to discuss
the draft law from legal standpoint;
that the principal speaker Major Pfaender
told the men that congress had perfect
right to enact the measure and it was UP
to the men called by that law to obey:
to register, appear for examination when
called and 60 willingly when sent to the
concentr ration camps. Hesaid thespeak-
er, howevers told them that the consti-
nationality Of the law would probably
be tested, and if found wrong they would

Offers Service to Country.
Mr.. Vogel, who testified that he is
so years old, was born and reared in
New Ulm. He has been in the state
military service for the past thirty-two
years, having started as a drummer boy
when only 18 years Of age. He told
of his various promotions in the National
Guard, and was regimental adiutant
in the Spanish American war in 1898.
He said that being a military man he
had been invited to lead practically
every parade held in this city during
the past fifteen years or more.
On Tuesday, July "a, the day before
the mass meeting in question, John
Ahrens asked him to lead the parade on
the following evening. He asked what
was the nature of the parade and meeting;
that Major Pfaender was going to ex-
plain the draft law to the drafted men,
and that the parade was to be composed
of those men. He said he would, altho
he was very busy, his time being ex--
.tensively occupied. outside OF his regular
duties, in connection with the work
made necessary as a member Of the Brown
County Exemption Board. He said
that following the parade he relieved

He declared that there were 5000 men
in the parade, and that about half of
them were drafted men, from this and
adjoining counties. The witness in
sisted that he had explained to Mayor
Fritsche as was the case in all instances
that the object of the meeting was to
have the draft law legally explained.
1t was not until the Monday evening
meeting that the idea Of parade was
thought of, and he was not sure, who first
preached that subject, but rather thot
it was himself. The first plan was to
have the parade composed only of drafted
men, and then it was proposed to take
in all who cared to join. It was at this
meeting, he said, that the plan of having
other speakers was decided upon.
The New Ulm Concert Band was en-
gagged by Ahrens and Adam, the witness
said, and Mr.. Retzlaf volunteered to
secure the Hofmeister band, sas the
matter must be settled that night, and
the regular committee could not attend
to both in the short time required.
He said he had attended meeting Of
the Peoples Council since the meeting
of July Is. He had also attended meet
ing Of drafted men at Gibbon, and also
went to Wabasso for the same purpose,
but no meeting was held at the latter
place.
