and to persuade Others that sucn action
was the part of true loyalty
The meeting was called in .he srmory
after an investigation into the attitude
of the Hearst publications toward the
war, the investigation having been con-
Quoted by Colonel Merton A. Cheesman,
commander of the organization, assisted
by Lieutenant Charles w. Smi,h.
Action Follows Inquiry
Lieutenant Smith was unable to be
present at the meeting and in his
stead the resolutions were read and
moved for adoption by Captain Foster
E. Merrill. They were duly spread
upon the minutes of the artillery train,
historic series of documents. and
were signed by R. E. Burke, battalion
clerk; Lieutenant Smith wished it dis
tlnctly understood to-day that, al
lutions were adopted, he concurred
heartily in the findings of Colonel
Cheesman and approved of the action
taken by his fellow members.
"For some time" said Lieutenant
Smith, some of US have thought that
the Hearst publications smacked of
pro-German propaganda. For this
reason we determined to read them
carefully, and. if our belief seemed to
be confirmed, to report them to the
command at its meeting. Objection

were kept and finally presented at the
meeting.
Vote Is Unanimous
"The articles were read carefully by
those at the meeting, among whom
were most of the members of the COM
mand, and when vote upon the resolu-
tion was called for, every man present
voted not to buy or read another
Hearst publication and in favor of in
ducing all other loyal persons to do
likewise"
Colonel Cheesman, who presided, is
man of wide business and social inter

Course Leads From Public
Baths Through Streets,
Where Police Intervene

In the midst Of the splashing and
gurgling Of about one hundred mascu-
line bathers in the public baths at Pit
kin Avenue and Watkins Street, Brook
lyn, last night the vigilant Joseph
Colura, of 415 Liberty Avenue, raised
his voice in strident alarm
"Hey, Morris, mind your pocket" he
yelled, and the unclad host took up the
cry, clamoring "Conef! Conef!" as they
scrambled madly over sudsy tiles and
groped frantcally in trousers pockets.
Two fully clothed young men who stood
near the street door slipped quickly
out. The second of them to leave was
Morris Rudin, of 274 Livonia Avenue,
and he shouted louder than any of his
fellows and held one tardy hand pain
fully over an outraged pocket.
Behind the pair came an avalanche of
bathers, each convinced he also was a
victim Of the pickpocket Some drapcd
towels about them as they reached the
street and doggedly took up the pursuit
and other hardy and determined souls
sprinted along, clad lightly in coat Of

Liberty Avenue craned its neck and
blushed and hid behind its window cur

dramas. Somewhere in the van. the
earnest Rudin overlook the fugitive and
they went to the pavement locked in
each others arms, while the uncouth
rout behind piled up over the OF stacle
in way to gladden. the heart of a
motion picture director.
With the arrival of a scrndalized d
patrolman. the human jackstraws were
sorted out and from the bottom of the
heap emerged Morris Rudin, grimly
clinIing to a young man who said he
was Edward Waldhorn. of / ,59l Iexing-

bathers as passed the police scrship
went to the Brownsville police station

Sons of Revolution
Join in Fight to Bar
Hearst Publications

Summit n. j., June 6.-The Passaic
Valley Chapter of the Sons of the Amer
ican Revolution voted tonight to do all
in its power to prevent the circulation
of Hearst newspapers in New Jersey.
A resolution which characterized the
buying of Hearst newspapers as an
unpatriotic act, branded Hearst edt-
torials as detrimental to the interests
of the country and placed Hearst
papers in the same class as those pub
lished in the German language was
adopted by large vote.
The resolution, which was presented
by Henry Donald Holmes. president of
the chapter, gave the board of trustees
of the Passaic Chapter authority to
tempt, started by other New Jersey or
CARNATIONS, to bar Hearst publications
from the state.
In discussing his Resolution, Mr..
Holmes commended the action of Mayor
Ruford Franklin in respect to the
Hearst papers. He urged every mem
Der of the chapter to get copy of
Mayor Franklin's letter to the zone
hundred Millions" recently published
in The New York Tribune.
Mr.. Holmes stated tonight that the
ley Chapter probably would be only the
beginning. of Sons of the Revolution
activity in connection with Hearst
newspapers. He said he intended to
present at the next meeting of the
state body resolution pledging all
New Jersey Sons of the Revolution to
help suppress Hearst papers within the
state, and also urging the national ex-
ecutive committee of the S. A. r. to
make the anti-Hearst movement nation

Some thirty executives of the fac

ne got line on industrial mobiliza-
tion when he found on questioning
them that they were all newcomers to
Elizabeth.
Moved by what he saw in one of the
secret places, the Secretary told them
that now he could indeed assure Gen

be emphatically backed up in the air
He promised the men great "doings''
when their handiwork was ready for

Everybody else in the big works
then wanted to see and hear the Sec.
rotary, so an impromptu outdoor meet.

workers. When they had assembled
Mr.. Baker told them something of his
experiences at the front in France ane
how when he arrived at an American
aerial escort of 100 planes, flying ir
perfect formation and alignment. The
sight reminded him of how important
and responsible was the work of the
builders Of aircraft, and it had there
fore greatly pleased him to observe
how keen and careful all the Standard
workers were.
The safety of the army depended or
the flicrs and the safety of the fiers
depended on the workers. Workers ant
soldiers alike were really all fighting
for liberty. When the war was ovcl
orders would doubtless be formed ol
those who had fought on land and sea
and he hoped that similar orders woulc
be formed of those who had had the
high honor of working on aircraft anc
other forms of equipment and muni
tons.
The Secretary of War then departed
as simply as he had come.

The indictment Of Terranova resulted
from the confessions of Ralph Danielo,
known as "Ralph the Barber" who ad-

murders.
After Esposito's testimony had been
taken Mr.. Littlcton moved for a dis
missal of the indictment, on the ground
that all of the witnesses against Terra
