I5-Year Term
For Allinson, Who
Refused to Fight
President Reduces Court
Martial's Life Sentence
for War Objector

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, July 29.-Fifteen
years in a Federal prison is the pun
ishment fixed for Brent Dow Allinson,
Chicago Stacker.
A court-martial at Camp Grant found
Allnson guilty of deserting military
duty.
1t is understood the court-martial
sentenced Alinson to life imprison-
ment. The case went to President
Wilson for review and sentence was
commuted to fifteen years.
Allinson, a Harvard graduate, was
appointed to post in the government
consular service and assigned to Berne,
Switzerland. He was arrested in Wash
ington on April 20 after refusing to re-
port to his Chicago board. He has been
in the division guard house at Camp
Grant since April %, having persist
emily refused to do military service.
News that Brent Dow Allinson is
under sentence to spend the next fif-
teen years in a Federal prison was no
little shock yesterday to conscientious
objectors, of whom a few remain in
New York.
1t was at the time the objectors we're
feeling the securest that Allinson was
in his hey-day. He was associate editor
of "WAr," collegiate periodical which
was against the war and for conscien-
tious objectors. 1t was published by
the Collegiate -Militarism League
at Lansdowne, Pa.
The Tribune exposed this pacifist
publication last February. Allinson had
signed article in the issue cited by
The Tribune. 1t was an open letter to
Secretary of War Baker, in which
Allinson defended the conscientious
objectors. In the course of his letter
to Mr. Baker these points were raised
by Allinson:
"That the German people were con-
vinced they were being attacked and
that the American forces were doomed
to defeat in advance, no matter how
gallant the, young fighters who were
sent abroad"
THAT this war was not a conflict be-
tween right and wrong"
THAT national defense was not an
issue in this conflict and that he, with
others, was opposed to aiding in it for
that reason"
THAT he was not for the war and
must not take part in it, even at the
laws command"
After expressing these sentiments to
the head Of the War Department, Allin-
son went to the State Department and
obtained a clerkship in Switzerland
The Tribune learned of this and it's
exposure of the pacifist's appointment.
created a mild sensation in Washing
ton.

Barnes Control Is
Dehed by Judge
In Albany County
Especial Dispatch to The Tr1bune)

Especial Dispatch to The TrfbMne)
ALBANY, July ga break in the
Barnes organization in Albany County,
which for more than twenty years has
been the synonyme of party regularity,
is seen in the announcement here to-
day by County Judge George Adding
ton that he will enter the Republican
primaries as a candidate for Supreme
Court justice for the Third District
against the organization candidate,
Deputy Attorney General Harold J.
Hinman, also of this city.
Judge Addington will have the active
support of Whitman hackers in Albany
and surrounding counties.
When Barnes decided to support his
oldtime enemy, Roosevelt, for Cover
nor, Hinman was put out of the run
ming for Attorney General. The plan
was then to have Attorney General
Lewis run for reelection, instead of
for Governor, and Barnes, to find q
place for Hinman, put him up for Su-
preme Court justice, instead of Ad-
dington.
The Third judicial District Demo
cratic committee to-day recommended
Patrick c. Dugan as the candidate for
Supreme Court justice, and the Dem.
ocratic 28th Congressional District
committee recommended Joseph A
Lawson for Representative in Con
gress. Both are we'll known lawyers
of Albany.

Danbury Loyalists
Seek to Bar Hearst
Papers From City
Committee Hears Petition
to Forbid Sale of Gun
American Publications.

DANBURY, Conn. July 29.-Many
patriotic citizens attended a hearing
before the police committee of the
Common Council of this city tonight
upon a petition signed by Mayor An
thony Sunderland and seventy others
asking the council to appoint a com
mlttee to wait upon local newsdeal-
ers and request them to discontinue
the sale of newspapers that jeopardze
the best interests of the nation through
unpatriotic utterances. "The New York
American" and Evening Journal" are
mentioned in the petition.
j. Edgar Pike, manager of the SOL
vents Recovery Company; Martin R.
Abriel, ex-councilman: Charles A.
Shoonover and Elijah Sturdevant repre-
sented the petitioners. Mr.. Pike stated
that the petition was prepared by At
torney Henry Wilson, a young lawyer,
now student aviator in the United
States army who felt that the peo-
pie should take the stand that every
thing un American should be eradi-
Gated from their city and let the men
in the army know they were standing
aolidly behind them.
Mr.. Abriel declared that he believed
the committee should recommend to
the council the adoption of an ord-
nance patterned after that framed by
Mount Vernon, prohibiting the sale of
A A. "
lish language, as we'll as German Ian
guage publications. The editorials pub
lished in the Hearst papers were not
all prot German and not all un-Ameri-
can, he said but there were sufficient
that were patriotic in tone to serve as
a camouf1age for those of another
nature.
Mr.. Schoonover asked the committee
to report an ordinance prohibiting the
sale in Danburv of Hearst publications
and thus place Danbury on record with
the 95 per cent of the people of the
country who are loyal.

dred thousand women had been mem
bers of this branch of the conservation
army.
Almost 800 hotels and restaurants in
New York, including practically all OF
the larger and better known establish

the first time in any form in three
months, having been released from
their voluntary pledges by the United

R. A. Gushey, of the local hotels and
restaurants committee of the United

the above statement yesterday, de-
clared that New York's portion of the
175,O00,OO0 bushels of wheat flour saw
ing was far in excess of the proportion
of the city's population to the nations
, This means that almost 100000
bushels of wheat were saved for ship

New York hotel and restaurant men.
"The proportion of people who dine
out in New York City is much greater
than that of any other section of the

Senator Gilbert NJ Hitchcock, of Ne

why he printed gratis pacifist propa-
ganda issued by the German govern
ment. Louis N. Hamerling, presi-

the foreig Language press was being
paid to use.
From his summer home at Swamps-
colt Senator Hitchcock issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The fact is that I was the author
of the bill which was introduced in the
Senate to prohibit the expectation of
arms and ammunition and of course
my paper was supporting my policies
at that time. We, of course, have got
to revert to the fact that America was

that we were endeavoring to retain our
neutral position.

war broke out, introduced bill to
that effect. l never did very much
