Lawyers Deny
Swami Coerced
Their Clients
Stenographers Aid Prose
cutor in Defence Against
Misconduct Charges

Counsel for Distric, Attorney Swami
yesterday began his defence hgainst
charges Of misconduct advanced b. the
City Club, at the hearing before Com
missioner George L. lngraham.
Attorneys Of several indicted union
leaders, who, II is charged, recanted
their confessions because of pressure
brought to bear by Mr.. Swami, took the
stand and swore that no coercion had
been used upon their clients. Stenog-
raphers who were present during con-
ferences between the prisoners and the
District Attorney added their testimony
70 this effect.
Chief witness for the defence yester-
day was Francis ID. Gallatin, attorney
for Issdore Weissberg, who was
charged with perjury. Under cross
examination, the witness told Of hay-
ing heard the name of Judge James A.
Dclehan,y mentioned frequently in the
( District Attorneys Office. Judge Dele
7 hanty was one of the instigators Of the
charges of misconduct against Mr.
/ Swami.
Mr.. Gallatin could not recall the spc-
! cihc remarks made concerning the
Judge. He could not remember that
Mr. Swami had ever mentioned him,
but recollected that Assistant District
Attorney Markewich had made "deroga-
tory remarks" concerning Judge Dele
hanty.
The witness also denied that he had
ever heard Mr.. Swami threaten 20 get
Lucian s. Breckenridge, former Assist
ant District Attorney and one of his
accusers. He admitted that Markewich
had accused Breckenridge in his pres
ence OF collecting money from manu-
facturers and giving them police pro-
I lection.
He also said that Mr.. Swami told him
that he had given his "Brekinridge OF
Kentucky" statement TO the newspapers
| because his former assistant had in
| jected the "Breckinridge spectability"
into the case through the press.
Chase Mellen, counsel for the City
Club. replied last night TO the accusa-
ton advanced by some of Mr.. Swann's
| friends to the effect that the City
Club was attacking the District Attor-
ney in the hope OF nominating his sue
cessor next fall.
In his statement Mr.. Mellen insists
that the club is interested in the facts
of the Swami case ONLY and is cheri sh-
ing no ulterior or political motile.
"The object of the clubs present
activity" he SAYS, "and its only object.
is to submit evidence upon which the
Governor shall determine wheth ,r or

Woman Principal Did Right
TO Stop america"

Hartford. Conn. May l6.-All the
teachers in the Union school, IN South
Windsor. with the exception Of one,
have been discharged because OF the
publicity given the action OF the prIn-
cipal. Miss Inez Urquhardt, IN stopping
the school photograph while America"
was being played.
The teachers threatened to resign
because Of the principals alleged un-
patriotic action. but the school commit
tee. headed by Judge Ralph NJ. Grant,
supported the principal and notified
them OF their release before their
designations were received.
The school committee held that Miss
Urquhardt was justified in shutting of
the monograph, no matter what was
being played. There Ia said TO have
been a factional feeling among the
teachers and they are alleged TO have
played the photograph longer than the
rules permit Whenever the principal
would come in TO stop the machine, IL

On the Screen
Her Fighting Chance
Picturesque Film
Ably Acted

"Her Fighting Chance" which was
shown at the Broadway Theatre yester-
day morning, appeals to ones eye and
the title appeals to ones intelligence
At no time do any of the characters do
or. say anything which one feels they
would not do or say in real life.
Jane Grey is seen as Marie, girl
who leaves a dance hall to become the
wife of Jan Thoreau, trapper OF the
Northlands. "Her Fighting Chance" is
a perturbation of james Oliver Air
woods "The Fiddling Man"
Miss Grey is an extremely likable
person in the role of Marie. She has
the most perfect nose and the most
wonderful hair, and she plays with
cnarm.
Thomas Holding is we'll cast as Jan
Thoreau, the fddling man, and Percy
q. Standing looks just as Corporal
Blake ought to look.
Some startling effects are obtained
by throwing a hazy figure Of FRANCOIS
Breault, murdered man, on the screen
10 represent a visitation from another
world. And if Breault got his just de-
serts it is easy 10 name the regions
from which he returned.
Fannie Ward wears perfectly ravish-
ing clothes in "Unconquered," Lasky-
Paramount picture shown yesterday.
If this fact, added to some good set
tings and well selected cast, can com
pensate for lack of story, stilted titles
and people who do things which no hu-
man beings ever did, then "Uncon-
quered" is a good photo-play.
There isn't much that is new in
"Clover's Rebellion" a Vitagraph pict-
ure, by James Oliver Curwood, with the
charming Anita Stewart in the title
role.
But. after all, how much nicer it is
to be pleased than surprised, and Glover
and all of her contemporaries are most
entertaining people. The villaIness is
handsome; i'm fact, both of them are;
the villain is sufficiently disagreeable,
the hero is young and very much IN
love, and the heroine is beautiful. The
first time the hero met Glover he said !:
81 think you are the most beautiful girl
| ever saw" and every one agreed with
him.
In the cast are Rudolph Cameron, the
lover; Brinsley Shaw, the duke; Eulale
Jensen, the yillainess; Julia Swayne
Gordon, the aunt, and william Dunn, u
rejected sutton. II. U.

"Can Germany be defeated"
Answer: Germany not only can but
must be defeated, even if it takes two
or three more years to do II. There
will not be peace in Europe unless the
present government Of Germany is
radically changed so that war and
peace do not rest with one man. The
sooner the United States gets into the
war with its full power the quicker
the war will end. The sooner the
American people learn not to be waste
ful the quicker Germany will be de-
feated. Everything now depends upon
the United States"
Are American troops needed in
France ?"
Answer: "The best way to encourage
our allies and show them that we are
in the war to win is to send troops to
France and TO send a strong commits
sion to Russia. Theodore Roosevelt
presence in Europe will DO great deal
TO help us defeat Germany. But it
would be a splendid thing if Mr.. Koose-
welt could be sent TO Russia, too, after
he has been in France"
"What do the German people think

Answer: "They regard him as III

Next to Premier Lloyd George, Their
