President Unlikely
To Extend Clen1encv
In Mrs. Stokes's Case
Especial Dispatch to The T,ibune)

WASHINGTON. June Presidential
clemency in the case Of Mrs. Rose Pas
tor Stokes, sentenced to-day to ten
years by the Federal Court of Kansas
City for seditious utterances, is not
expected by Department of Justice off
clals who have been watching the case
closely since its beginning.
THE sentence is none too severe in
view of Mrs. Stokes's offence, ,and it will
act as deterrent to others inclined to
anti-war and seditious talk at this
time" said one official eff she is duly
repentant after serving portion of the
sentence imposed, she will be eligible
to release, but we do not look for any
Executive moderation of the sentence
until the country is convinced by her
Imprisonment that severe punishment
attaches to violators of the Federal
law directly against disloyalty"
Department officials tonight recalled
the case of Mrs. Kate Richard o. Hare
guilty Of obstructing enlistments in
speech made at Bowman, NJ D., last
summer. sentence of five years was
imposed on Mrs. O'Hare, who is alleged
to have said that american women
who raised sons for the army were no
better than brood sows." Appeals have
been made for Executive ciemency in
her case. it was pointed out, but the
White House has not indicated that it
would intervene.
In the case Of Mrs. Stokes the point
is made that her offence is aggravated
because of her proven intelligence. Had
the speech, which formed the basis of
Federal prosecution, been made by>an
irresponsible individual, justice officials
declared, some reason for moderation
by Executive authority might be JUS
tilted.

Berkeley Defence
Club Denounces
Hearst Papers

BERKELEY, Cal, June AT a
meeting Of the Berkeley Defence Club
last Monday night, the following res
olution, introduced by the Rev. Hamil-
ton Lee, an Episcopal minister, living
at 2S14 Cedar Street, was unanimously
adopted:
whereas, the continual publication
in the Hearst newspapers of articles
harmful to the United States and the
Allies in this war is an act offensive
to patriotism; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we call upon all who
love their country and desire its sue
cess to discourage the circulation of
the papers by ceasing to advertise in,
read or subscribe ts them"
In introducing the resolution, the
Rev. Mr. Lee announced that he had
three sons in the army. He said that
in the East patriotic citizens have
been burning the Hearst papers. The
meeting was held in the Defence corps
dugout, at 2O59 Alston Way, and sew
enty members were present.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-02

Possibly the utterance OF it should
is that it would have been better to
have met it with proof of its alb
surdity-proof easily furnished, by the
way. To take such a silly utterance
the occasion for sentence Of ten
years is monstrous and stupendously
foolish.
Miss Pastor Stokes is not pro-
German or a traitor to America. She
is misguided idealist, woman of
splendid impulses insufficiently con-
trolled by reason and reality. A
romanticist always, she never has had
the slightest capacity for dealing with
the great problems of this war. In
the storm of emotion she has been
tossed from one extreme to the other.
1 we'll know that such persons may
do even more harm than the hired
tool of German propaganda. There
cannot be freedom for a propaganda
that will undermine the morale of the
nation.
Protection of our national interests
will not be served, however, by seizing
upon foolish and petulant utterances
like that for which Mrs. Stokes has
been convicted, and Furnishing them
with feroGous prison sentences, the
while millionaire newspaper owners
can in safety carry on an insidous at
tack upon our morale.
OF course, the sentence will be set
aside on appeal. have too much faith
IN our American courts to doubt that.
In the almost unthinkabe event that
the appeal does not result in setting
the sentence aside, believe that Presi-
dent Wilson will act. He will under

list like Rose Pastor Stokes and will

which make him the great leader that

Hindu Insists Hearst
Should Not Be Citizen

Tishi Bhutia, Hindu, denied natu-
ralization by Justice Callaghan in
Brooklyn yesterday because he had cir
culated an anti-British book called,
"Why India Is in Revolt" told the
judge that his offence was less than
that of William Randolph Hearst, who
had condoned the sinking of the Lusi-
tania
"If I am denied citizenship because
of a book circulated before the
United States entered the war" he
said. Hearst should be deprived of
his citizenship" He added that Will
lam Jennings Bryan and others just
as prominent had been against the
war before America entered it.
Bhutia declared that his only rea-
son for seeking naturalization was
that he wanted to join the American
Aviation Corps. He is secretary of the
Oriental Society of America. has lived
in this country twelve years and has
a wife and two children in New York.

the. union.
First Decision Under Pact
This is the first decision reached un-
der the war pact entered into by labor
and capital Labor leaders who learned
OF the decision made no attempts to
conceal their jubilation. But it was. as
one of them put it, what they had ex-
pected all along.
w. Jett Lauck, secretary of the
board, forecast the decision Just be-
fore the board went into executive ses-
sion. He pointed out that the en-
ployes and employers are under obliga-
tions to the government during the war
not to have strike or lockouts. and that
the employers pledged themselves not
to interfere with unions, and that
unions have pledged themselves not to
strike
The decision of the board is espe-
clally hailed by the telegraphers with
jubilation. Their fight with the COM
panies dates back to 1883, when thew
struck because of refusal of the com.
panies to allow them to organize. The
men lost out. Again in 1907 they struck
tor similar reason. and again lost out.
But now under the terms of the de-
cision of the National War Labor BOARD
they may organize and the companies
must deal with their chosen representa-
tives.
The board also took steps to settle
the strike of the Scranton Street Rail-
way men, who went out for higher
wages. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Walsh sent
the following telegram to M. Hart. or
ganizer of the strikers:
Members of your organization
should return to work at once. Bv re-
naming on strike they are violating
agreement between organized labor
and capital, on which this board is
rounded. IT your members return at
once to work we will arbitrate your
controversy and make award effective
as OF date work is resumed The pres
ent war emergency impels us most ur
gently to request in the name of our
common patriotism that your members
