To Stop O'Leary's
Flight to Mexico
Ships Are Searched and
Scotland Yard Warned to
Watch Irish Ports
By BRIGGS

The Federal Grand Jury yesterday

president of the American Truth Soci-
ETY. and anti-British agitator who be-
came a fugitive from justice on Mon
day when he failed to appear for trial

is under indictment for conspiracy to
obstruct the selective service act.
Several relatives of the missing man,
together with several men Of known
associated with O'Leary in his bitter
opposition to Great Britain and the
war programme of this country, were
called to testify. 1t is understood. how
ever, that the examination of the wit
nesses was confined to questions that
might reveal the hiding place of the
fugitive.
While the witnesses were being
questioned the hunt lor the missing
man, which is being directed by Chief
Charles De Woody of the Department
department, with the assistance of the
Texas Rangers, are patrolling the Mex
lean border, to where, it is believed,
the fugitive is headed.
Outgoing ships are being searched to
prevent O'Leary from reaching Ireland
in disguise, and Scotland Yard has been
notified of his escape. All ships arriv-
ing at British ports will be searched
by agents of the British government.
The state constabulary is seeking the
fugitive in the Adirondacks and Cats
kills and several clews in the rural dis
tricts are being run down.
Grover Whalen, secretary to Mayor
Hylan, was the first witness seen to
enter the grand jury room. He is
OLeary's brotherin- law.
Justice Daniel Cohalan, of the Su-
preme Court. Daniel O'Leary and Mrs.
Margaret OLeary, the parents of the
missing man, Alexis O'Leary, a young
err brother, John Dewey, editor of
"The Gaelic-American," John Jerome

Efforts Made Here
To Save Woman
From Internment

That strong pressure is being
brought to save Mrs. Josef Stulz, a
daughter of James A. Hinckley, for
mer Democratic leader of Poughkeep-
sic, from being informed as an enemy
alien, was indicated last night when
William Wallace, director of the New
York Port Enemy Alien Bureau, made
a hurried trip to Washington. The
recommendation for the interment of
Mrs. Stulz has been in Mr.. Wallace s
hand for more than two weeks.
Mrs. Stulz became an enemy alien
through her marriage to DR.. Josef
Stulz, German propagandist, who will
start for Camp Oglethorpe with other
enemy aliens tomorrow. A Presi-
ceived yesterday.
DR.. and Mrs. Stulz, with DR.. Jo-
hannes Herman Martin Won Thing,
were, it is alleged, the leading spirits
in a German propaganda ring broken
up by Chief Charles De Woody of the
Department of Justice. They all lived
in Poughkeepsie, and, it is charged,
directed the spreading of propaganda
against the United States and Presi-
dent Wilson. Because of their wealth
and social position they considered
themselves immune from dfIeSt.
Agents Bishoff and Este, of the De-
partment of Justice, after discovering
that citizens of Poughkeepsie had taken
the law in their own hands and attacked
DR.. Stulz, recommended his arrest
Later, evidence was produced to show
that Mrs. Stulz was the real leader of
the ring, and recommendation for her
internment was made.
When DR.. Stulz was taken in custody
Alton B. Parker asked Mr.. Wallace
that Stulz be interned where his wife
could be near him. Mr.. Parker has
been lifelong friend of Mrs. Stulz.
The woman called at the Enemy
Alien Bureau last week and asked that
trust company in Poughkeepsie,
where she keeps part of her funds, be
directed to turn them over to her. She
complained that money had been re-
fused her on application. She is living
in New York with her sister.

The New York American" their de-
mands fol a retraction of statements
they charged were falsely made in "The
American story of the so4called mass
meeting of Mount Vernon "citizens"
last Saturday night
On his return Ginsburg said that he
had been promised that the newsdeal-
ers' charge that the Hearst story of
the meeting was garbled would be thor
oughly investigated. The dealers would
walt reasonable length of time, he
said, and give "The American" fair
chance to retract. If this is not forth
coming G.nsburg said a meeting would
be held at which the dealers would de-
determine their course of action.
Yesterday the dealers issued signed
statement in which they made known
their purpose to refuse to acept the
Hearst dailies for sale or distribution
unless "The American" disavows it's
statements that Mount Vernon news

the leading Mount Vernon news
dealer" who, SO "The American" story
said, bemoaned the fact that the Board
of Aldermen, in barring Hearst, were
taking the bread out of his mouth,
was none other than George Dolinsky,
Hearst's own agent here. Dolinsky is
not a dealer. He represents Hearst
and depends on the dealers association
for the distribution and delivery of
"The American" and "The Journal"

tons Amazed to Find
Nobody Started 1t"

MILLBURN, N. j., May 21.--This
town to-day was without two kinds of
newspapers-those printed in the Ger
man language and those published by
Hearst. Millburn newsdealers have
quit selling both kinds.
1t was entirely voluntary upon the
part of the newsdealers that they quit
handling Hearst's New York Ameri-
can" and "New York Evening Journal"
The dealers told Hearst representa-
tives who hurried to Millburn after
the cancellation of newspaper orders
to-day that nobody had demanded they
quit selling Hearst papers. The dealers
merely sensed public sentiment, as it
were.
But the newsdealers did tell the
Hearst men that since they had quit
handling Hearst papers a great many
customers had complimented them
upon their patriotism. Many Of these
favorable comments came from women,
members of the Millburn Red Cross.
During the first part of the Hearst
representatives stay in Millburn they

lavishly distributed illuminated copies
of that same Presidential proclama-
tion, from which "The New York
American" recently deleted Mr.. Will
sons prayer for victory. The Hearst
emissaries asserted the deletion was a
Typographical error"
AS the American flag and the Presi-
dents picture are printed on the illum-
mated proclamation, many Millburn
residents merely clipped from the bot
tom the words, "The New York Ameri-
can," and then hung it on the wall.
Later the Hearst men adopted differ
ent tactics. They told newsdealers if
they did not handle Hearst papers they
would not receive any New York
papers.
One Hearst representative called on
Ordnance Sergeant B. " 81. Schultz, Of
the Millburn Militia Reserve.
"Who started all this ?" the Hearst
man demanded.
Nobody in particular" replied Ser
geant Schultz. "1t apparently was
purely spontaneous, sort of reflection
of public opinion here. I myself have
been curious to know who started it, as
you say. l haven't been able to find out
that anybody started it, 1t seems that
it just grew.
II don't know why you should have
asked me who started it, The Militia
Reserve has not taken official action re-
garding Hearst's newspapers. The mat
ter will not come>up until our regular
meeting Thursday night"

Presses 3. r. T. Inquiry

District Attorney Lewis and the
grand jury of Brooklyn, engaged at
present in investigating complaints of
the conduct of women conductors en-
ployed by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company, heard some interesting tes-
timony yesterday. At the conclusion of
the days examination of witnesses, Mr..
Lewis said he intended to continue his
Investigations until he was satisfied as
to either the truth or falsity of the
charges, and if convinced they were
true he intended to prosecute the
guilty conductorettes.
Most startling testimony yesterday
was offered by a woman, who declared
she had been passenger in the early
morning on car which the motorman
and conductorette carried on lively
wooing on the front platform, despitc
the fact the car was travelling at high
rate of speed.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany is defending the conductorettes.

by Hearst last week because the Mayor
took the lead in Appealing to the pa
triotism of local newsdealers not to
handle Hearst papers," This suit was
large responsible for stirring up the
Summit Security League members to
the action pitch.
Zone of the chief purposes of the
meeting was to express the towns ap-
probation of the action taken by Mayor
Franklin and to let him know that
Summit was back of him." said Mr..
Libby. "The other purpose was to con-
slider the matter of expressing nation
wide sentiment against Hearst's dele
tion of the victory prayers from the
Presidents proclamation.''
Mayor Franklin is one of the leading
members Of the Summit Security
League, but the meeting was a sur
prise to him. He was invited to attend
at the last moment. When resolution
commencing his action regarding Hearst
papers was proposed, the Mayor ex-
pressed the wish that any resolution
should not be personal.
ut is the patriotic citizens of Sum-
nit who are refusing to read Hearst
newspapers-l ain only one of them,"
he said.
Thereupon the resolution was
changed to an Endorsement of the peo-
pie of Summit for their exclusion of
Hearst newspapers.
Captain j. o. Nichols, of the New
Jersey governors military staff, spoke
in support Of that last part of the
resolution which urges other patriotic
communities to exclude Hearst papers.
Families nowadays" said Captain
Nichols, consider it an honor to be
able to say that their ancestors re-
fused to drink tea in 1775. Fifty years
from now our descendants will feel
honored that we refused to read
Hearst newspapers in 1913.
IF find poisoned candy in my town
can forbid my child eating any candy.
There is poison in the Hearst news
papers, and l have the right t. refuse
to buy them
"The town of Summit has shown the
peaceful, lawful way to exclude Hearst
publications. SUBMITS method has
come to be known as the Summit plan.
Ihe Summit plan is not to pass an
ordinance barring Hearst papers, as
was done at Mount Vernon. Ordi-
Mayor Franklin invented the Summit
plan all he did was to appeal to the
patriotism of citizens and\ncwsdealcrs.
The result was that citizens quit read
ing Hearst papers and newsdealers
ceased handling them"
Captain Nichols is attorney for tho
peterborough. He stated that Summit
had so rallied to it's Mayors support
that the suit would never cost the
Mayor cent, even if Hearst ever let
it come to trial
One of the biggest law firms in New
York asked to be permitted to conduct
the Mayors defence "as patriotic SER
vice, without charge"

kearny Home Guards Plar,
To Exclude Hearst Papers

KEARNY, N. j., May 21.-It was not
necessary in Kearny several weeks ago
for citizens to wait upon newsdealers
in order to end the circulation of Ger
man papers in this town.
Archibald Salmond, chairman of the
executive committee of the Kearny
Home Guard, announced to-day that
he would appear before the Guard at
it's next regular meeting to propose
that steps be taken to exclude Hearst
publications, as we'll as German news
papers, from Kearny. The meeting will
be held next Tuesday night.
Mr.. Salmond expressed the belief
that perhaps in the Hearst matter, as
IN the case of the German papers, it
would not be necessary for any or
ganization to take action.
"Kearny is very patriotic" asserted
Mr.. Salmond. "The town is named af-
ter general"
