ing violation of the espionage act, to-
day will be brought to Topeka for ar
raignment before Frank L. Campbell,
United States commissioner, in the
poStoffice building, according to WORD
received here today from Kansas City.
Doctor Koerber was indicted by a
federal grand jury January 20. An
nouncement of his arrest Monday was
not made until today. The indict-
ment is based upon a statement
Koerber is alleged to have made to
the chairman of a chautauqua at Rus
sell, Kan, September last. He is
said to have gone to the committee
chairman, a banker, and protested
against denunciation of pro-German-
ism by chautauqua lecturers there.
He told the banker, according to Fred
d. Robertson, United States district
attorney for Kansas, that if any
made at the chautauqua ne would
"clean out the whole place"
He Cursed the United States.

According to Robertson, about two
years ago Doctor Koerber was the pro-
moter of a rifle club at Russell, the
organization which led to extensive
reports that the men were Germans
and were drilling in preparation for
war upon the United States in event
war was declared with Germany.
I'VE were able to establish definite
| ly Doctor Koerber's connection with
that organization Mr.. Robertson said
today. However, the members were
| insistent that the club was organized
for recreation purposes only and we
| were never able to establish anything
to the contrary" Mr. Robertson said
Doctor Koerber was born in SUIT
CART Germany, and became a natural
lied citizen in 1900, according to Rob-
ertson- The remarks to the chautau-
qua chairman which led to his indict-
ment were made on the physician's
birthday, Mr.. Robertson said. Doctor
koerber lived in Russell until a few
months ago when he moved to Hofs-
ington.

mind became affected from grieving
over the death of his mother.
