Agents of Publisher Ar
rested for Operating News
stands Without Permits
All Plead Not Guilty
Citizens Indignant Because
More Dealers Are Not
Taken Into Custody

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y. Aug. Ii
Three arrests resulted to-day from
William Randolph Hearst's attempt to
maintain circulation in this town
after all the local newsdealers had re-
fused to handle his papers, in obedi-
cnce to the Mount Vernon ordinance
prohibiting the sale of disloyal news
papers in this city.
The three Hearst agents who sought
to sell Hearst's "New York Journal
and "Americ in defiance of Mount
Vcrnons edict concerning those da1lies
were arrested for operating news
stands without permits.
Those arrested were Lee Marcel and
James Doyle, both local residents, and
Sam Perlstein. of 467 Marcy Avenue,
Brooklyn. In court this morning all
entered pleas of not guilty and their
cases were continued to Wednesday.
The first two we're arrested on COM
First Street, Mount Vernon, who has
been distributing the IL Do Not Read

this city.
These two Hearst agents had their
wares piled on box in front of
store at Fourth Avenue and First
Street Mr.. Loveland demanded their
arrest on the ground they were oper-
ating a newsstand without a permit.
The other arrest was caused by Mrs.
r. Krin, of 23 East Third Street. She
is a newsdealer who obeyed the ordi-
nance barring un-American papers.
She protested when a Hearst agent
opened a stand next door to NEr es
tablishment.
The three arrests were made under
an old ordinance which provides that
every newsstand must have license.
The Hearst agents selling papers in
this city to-day were, as a group, i'm
mune from arrest, because city Of
them under the recently passed anti
disloyal newspapers ordinance, but to
wait and proceed against them under
new ordinance which will provide that
all persons selling newspapers must
have license.
Many citizens to-day were indignant
because city officials did not arrest
all Hearst agents under the ordinance
already passed. Attorney Willis H..
Chase insisted that policeman arrest
a Hearst man who tried to sell him al
"Ame ercan" at the New Haven Rail
road station. The policeman refused
on the plea that Corporation Counsel
Esser had instructed the police not to
make arrests under the ordinance
passed to exclude disloyal papers.

counsel for the defence. "The I. W. W.

From all corners of America the gov

strength. that the members were under

William D. Haywood, general secre-
tary said Frank K. Nebeker,
chief prosecutor, in addressing the
"The I. W W. red flag Of industrial
freedom is only mask for the red flag
of lawlessness. Their own members
have testified that the organizations
policy is to continue waging war on in

Express Trains Are
Ordered on Sea Beach
And West End Subwuy

To relieve the constant congestion
on the Sea Beach and West End trains
operating from Times Square and
Fourteenth Street in the Broadway
subway, the Public Service Commits
sion yesterday directed the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company to install an
express service on these lines from
the Chambers Street station in the
Municipal Building to Coney Island in
non-rush hours.
The express trains are to run on a
sufficiently frequent headway to take
care of the serious overlooking condi-
tions which exist on these lines.

Lack of Service Causes
Heavy Congestion at
Brooklyn Bridge

Despite the numerous complaints
vice on the new "H" subway system
since it's inception on August 1, and
repeated promises of betterment, there
was no appreciable improvement on
the lines yesterday.
A survey of the East Side branch
made by Tribune reporters yesterday
disclosed that twenty y-seven trains, in
cluding express and local, were the
maximum number being operated by
the Interborough during the rush
hours. Of these fourteen were express
and thirteen we're locals. These fig
ures reveal that the company was oper-
ating its busiest line with fifteen trains
less than the forty per hour it had
promised, shortage of eight express
trains and seven locals.
At the Brooklyn Bridge platform OF
the Lexington Avenue line there was
an especial congestion during the
MONDAY rush. The express trains here
at 1880 p. m. were arriving on an av-
erage Of one every five minutes, with
intervals as long as ten minutes during
the height of the jam. There was an
evident attempt to mitigate conditions
on the local branch here by OBTAINING
these trains at the station until the
arrival Of the following local. Many
persons who had been waiting for
express trains got on the locals through
sheer impatience.
The patrons on the West Side branch
of the III" system Jared somewhat bet
ter, though even here the revised
schedule had not been attained. At
Times Square a reporter for The
Tribune counted fourteen northbound
local and express trains in half an
hour, seven Of which were expresses.
The schedule here appeared to be keep
ing the platforms we'll cleared. though
the cars were sufficiently crowded to
cause strap-hanging.

having passed that station in half an
hour at noon yesterday. The service
was very irregular, however, one Of
the trains arriving after an interval
of nine minutes.
There was still marked congestion
at the Grand Central station. Much Of
this, it appeared, was due to the
crowded condition Of the trains as they
arrived at the platform and the in
ability of those waiting to board them.
The schedule virtually was the same
as that existing at the Brooklyn Bridge
station.

THE ARMY SHATTERED
THE ARMY SHATTERED

Washington, Oct. 31.--The gener-
al opinion among officials and diplo-
mates here is that the Germanpro-
posal for an armistice and peace,
while having its origin in a plan to
gain time for strengthening the
army and restoring its shattered
morale, has now gotten beyond the
control of the military party and
that the German people are the
force which is driving the German
government to make for ending the
war.
Another note from Che German
government explanatory of the
changes that have been made or are
projected in the German constitu-
tion and form of government was
received yesterday through the
Swiss legation, but the State Depart
ment did not make it public This
note was understood tobe supple
mentary to the proceeding German
communication saying to the Presi-
dent that he must have knowledge
of the efforts that have been made
to democratize Germany.
President Wilson was at work
yesterday on his reply to Austria's
renewed plea for an armistice and
peace and it was expected that it
would be dispatched before night,
but later it was said that there
would be no announcement regard
ing the reply last night.
1t was understood that in the note
the President intended to touhc up
on the steps that Austria and Hun
gary have taken in the direction of
releasing subject peoples from po-
litical bondage, but that the Aus
trian governments plea would be re-
ferred 10 the allied governments.
The administration was said to be
we'll convinced now that Austria al
ready is nearly out of the war
