Charged With Obtaining
by False Pretences French
Money in Truck Deal
Held in Jail 40 Days
Former Purchasing Agent
Had Expected Hearing; De-
nies New Allegation
TStaf Co7-respondence1

WASHINGTON, April Is. After
being held forty days on charges that
he had stolen 5000 in France, Frank j.
Godsol, without being permitted to
combat those charges, was arrested
again to-day on q new warrant charg-
ing that he had obtained under false
pretences 81, 500, ,l04.s4 belonging to the
French government.
With an elaborate array Of legal tai
ent, Godsol had heralded the hearing
scheduled Before United States Com
missioner Hit this afternoon as a VIC
tory. He had implored newspaper men
to be present. He was going to show
the absurdity of the charges against
him. He was going to demonstrate, for
instance, that at the time it was al
legged he had stolen $500 in France he
had actually been in America, having
crossed to this country on the same
ship with Ambassador Gerard. He was
going to produce letters from the
French government, he said, which
would show that he had been exon
ated on the same charges nearly two
years ago.
But no day in court was granted
Mr.. Godsol to-day. On the contrary,
two hours before the time scheduled
for his hearing he was rearrested on
a new set of charges. His lawyers now
frankly admit that so long as the De-
partment of Justice continues its pres
ent tactics they do not know when they
can get trial for Godsol. He is being
held by the government under the ex-
tradition treaty, which government
counsel contend does not permit bail.
when the forty days allowed under
this treaty expire on this charge he
will be arrested again on the charge
of having killed cat in Paris" one
of his retainers Indignantly declared.
After his rearrest Mr.. Godsol, un-
der the custody of deputy marshal
in the office Of EX-SENATOR Bailey, is
sued a statement in which he said:
''The new charge is as unfounded as
the first one. when accused me of the
larency of $500 in France at a time
when / was in America.

members Of the I. W. W., charged with
conspiracy to interfere with the gov
e1hments war activities, was resumed
to-day before Federal Judge Lands
aieer weeks postponement caused bv
d report of attempted jury tampering
oy sympathizers of the defendants.
The day was marked by numerous
clashes between counsel for the govern
Ment and the defence.
Inc hrst dispute was over the method
OF examining the new venire of $50
summoned after the charges of jury
tamperlng made a week ago. Assistant
united States Attorney General Frank
X. Nebeker questioned twelve venire-
men instead OF four before rendering
them to the defence, and ATTORNEY
George F. Nanderveer objected. Judge
Lands overruled the objection.
The next clash came when counsel
Tor the government asked the court to
excuse Isaac Swanson, q riveter en-
ployed by the Chicago Shpbuilding
Company, for the reason that he was
slightly deaf and lacked the necessary
educational qualifications.
Class Issue Raised
u vigorously object to this man being
excused" said Attorney Vanderveer.
He is a workingman and peculiarly
fitted to pass on the issues which will
be presented in this trial. If the gov
ernment is going to object to every
workingman, then we will object to
every man offered belonging to the

Declare Flag Must
Stay or Rector Quit
Patriotic Episcopalians Are
Aroused When Stars and
Stripes Is Removed From
Church

Either the flag must stay IN the
Episcopal Church of the Redeemer'
Crescent and Temple Streets, Long ISL
and City, or the rector, the Rev. LIE
Roy Urban, must go.
This is the slogan CT the patriotic
insurgents of the congregation, includ-
ing members of the vestry, who have
been aroused over the rector's refusal
to allow the national emblem to be
displayed above the chancel on the
ground that he was paclfist and be-
lieved that no good could come out Of
war.
According to members of the con
gregation. the present dispute has only
brought to a climax situation thao
has been growing ever since the
United States entered the war. Sew
eral times, it is said, the members OF
the church have endeavored to obtain
permission to hang the Stars ana
Stripes in the editice, but nave peeh
stopped by the protests of Mr. Urban.
Last Saturday night some OF tne
younger members of the congregation
hung a flag in the church in honor OF
frederick White. one of the church
brotherhood, who is about to leave for
France. The flag was still there at
o'clock communion the next morning,
but it had disappeared before Sunday
school at 9:3o. Mr.. Urban is said to
have admitted TO members of the vestry
that he ordered it removed.
"The members Of the vestry are not
in accord with the sentiments OF MI.
Urban" said Harry I. Weeks, a mem
ber of the body, Yesterday. decisive
action will be taken at meeting in the
near future"
Mr.. Urban left Sunday night for a
visit in Norristown, Penn.

ing Term to President

The trial Of five of the seven men
indicted for their connection with "The
Masses" a publication debarred from
the mails because of it's alleged eff
forts to obstruct the war programme
and discourage recruiting, started yes
terday in the Federal District Court
before Judge Augustus Hand. John
Reed, recently reported on his way to
the United States as Bolshevik consul
general at New York, and H. j. Glin-
tenkamp, an artist, who was never ap-
pretended, failed to appear.
Max Eastman, editor of "The
Masses" Floyd Dell, managing editor;
Merrill Rogers, publisher; Arthur
Young, an artist. and Josephine Bell
a contributor, were in court. They
were represented by Morris Hillquit
and Dudley Field Malone. The pros
ecution was led by Assistant United
States Attorney Earl Barnes, who had
States Attorney Vincent A. Rothwell
from the Federal legal staff in Bos-
ton, and Gambler Cobb.
Judge Urges EApeuIllON
The entire day was taken up with
the examination of talesmen. The
work was slow, so slow that Judge
Hand urged counsel for both sides to
expedite the case. Much difficulty was
experienced in finding talesmen who
suited both sides-jurors who were
against pacitists would not bias their
judgment.
Morris Hillquit, after short pre-
liminary statement to twelve tentativ
jurors, asked each man whether he
had any friends or relatives IN the
military esta blishment of the United
States Or whether the prospective juror
himself had ever been in the army or
navy. He quiZzcd them on their atti-
tude toward socialism and inquired as
to their attitude regarding pacitists
Four were challenged. When court ad-
journcd only eight men had been tenta-
lively selected Some of these may be
replaced to-day.
Mr. Malone, in examining Talesman
Bowman B. Rockingham. asked whether
he had read President Wilson's speech
at Baltimore last week
Talesman Counters Malone
On receiving an Affirmative answer
he said:
"If any other pacifst of less distinc-
tion had expressed the same opinions
would you give the matter as much
consideration. ~
"Is President Wilson a pacihst?" in
quired the juror.
"Oh. l beg your pardon" answered
Mr.. Malone. well, if any other per-
son expressed the same opinions would
it influence YOU 90
Mr.. Rockingham said he might con.
slider the opinions of others in the
same light that he had considered the
utterances Of the President.
George Warren, of Yonkers, said he
considered a paciist nothing short Of
a traitor. In answer to a question b,

Some Graduates

For two months patriotic alumni of
the College Of the City of New York
have been protesting without avail
against two German university flags
which adorn the chapel in the main
hall at St. Nicholas Terrace and 139th
Street. Because a spirit of academic
tolerance has prevailed over a definite
American stand against these emblems
of German kultur, the large. banners
of the University of Berlin and the
University of Heidelberg continue to
wave.
Many of the persons who attend the
public organ recitals in the college
chapel on Sunday and Wednesday
afternoons feel that there is some in
congruty in the playing Of "The Star
Spanrled Banner" in a room where the
banners of German intellectuals have
place.

flags had been presented along with
dozen other university flags of ten

German people, but on their govern
ment.
May Decide Tonight
He said the matter would be dis
cussed tonight at a meeting OF the
trustees Of the college. President
Mezes is expected to attend the meet
ing.
Jonas E. Whitley, of the class of
1870, has been leading the campaign to
have the German flags taken down. He
said yesterday that the flags might at
least be interned for the period of the
war in entire keeping with the govern
ments attitude, IS expressed by rid
ding Washington Of the statue Of Fred
erick the Great, which until last week
had rested in front Of the War College:
He suggested that the removal of
these 3-by-5-foot banners might be
made the occasion of a patriotic cele-
bration II two flags to replace them
were deemed desirable to maintain the
decorative scheme of the chapel. he
favors the unfurling of the flags of
the two Oldest universities in America
the University. Of Lima, in Peru, and
the University of Mexico.
Such ceremony, IN his opinion,
might serve to draw the United States

Powers.
Austrian Flag There, Too
One Austrian flag, from the Jniver-
sity Of Prague, is also among the four

board of trustees. The other members
are Lee Kohns. Frederick P. Bellamy,

James W. Hyde, Bernard M. Baruch
and Moses j. Stroock. Mr.. McAneny
said yesterday that the letters Of pro-
test from Mr.. Whitley had been sent
to a committee Of the board Of trus-
tees.
Charles E. Lydecker, who is also a
director of the National Security
League, said that he believed the flags
should be taken down, and that he
thought that such action would be
taken eventually. He said that COM

Federal Land
Banks Advance
100000, 600 in Year

WASHINGTON, April l5.-The Fed
eral farm loan system has been IN ac-
tive operation just a year, and has
demonstrated that it is a success, ac-
cording to business summary issued
by the Farm Loan Board. About $500
national farm loan associations have
been incorporated, representing about
four associations to each five counties
in the country. The associations have
an average of twenty members, repre-
senting a total membership of about
$4,000 farmer borrowers.
''The twelve Federal land banks have
received applications for over 10000
loans, amounting to about $500, 100000" i"
says the boards statement. MANY of
the applications have been rejected, re-
duced or withdrawn. About $4,000
loans have been approved, amounting
to over $3.50, 1000, and on over So 900
to the farmers to the amount of about
$50, 100000. Some loans approved were
for reduced amounts, which the bor-
rowers declined to accept.
