He was pro miaent in the late activities of the Red Cross, having delivered ad- dresses at the various theaters, and claims to have been a member of the French aviation corps, When arrested he was armed with a re- volver and twenty one shells and his accomplice Drake had two, re- yolvers. The city is incensed over the outrage and the powerful ty- geographical union is aroused to the highest pitch of indignation.
 The two men, arrested, Gordon and Drake, are not regarded Gs principals, but as tools of higher ups alleged to be in the Chamber of Commerce, and who resented the continued printing of labor pa pers by the Pigott concern.
 The ableot counsel in the city has been proccrned to aid in the prose cution and it is not believed that the parties responsible will be able to escape the searching inves- tigation being made.
