Six Russellites
Are Arrested on
Conspiracy Charge
Tendency of Their Publica-
tions Is TO Promote Dis
loyalty, 1t Is Alleged
Total Bail Is 100000
Three Other Members Of the
Organization May Be Taken
Into Custody Soon
Total Bail Is 100000

Six men. members of the Interna.
tional Bible Students Association and
allied organizations and followers of
the late Pastor Russell, were arrested
yesterday afternoon by United States
Marshal James NJ. Power, Of BROOKLYN.
All are charged with conspiracy and
four are charged with violating the
trading with the enemy act by send
ing $500 to Germany after the declara-
tion of war by the United States.
The men under arrest are Joseph F.
rutherford, forty years old, who is
SAID to be the successor to Pastor
Russell at the Brooklyn Tabernacle;
William Z. Van Ambcrgh. ffty-fve;
Giovanni De Cecca, thirty-nine: A..
Hugh McMullen. forty-one, Robert ].
Martin. forty, and Frederick A. Robin
son, thirty-four. All are preachers or
writer's, and, with the exception of Van
Ambergh. who said he lived al II
Orange Street, gave the Bethel Home.
headquarters of the organization. at
l22 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn. as
their home.
The prisoners were taken directly be-
fore Federal Judge Garvln. who set the
bail for Rutherford, Van Ambergh, Nc
Mullen and Martin at $4,000 on each in
dlctment. Bail for De Cecca and Rob-
inson was placed at $4,000 on each in
dlctment. De Cecca, it was learned in
court. is now out on 50 900 bail on a
somewhat similar complaint.
While the prisoners were being held
at the Raymond Street jail, trustees Of
the association held a special meeting
and transferred the Bethel Home, which
the organization owns. to John g.
Stevens. He was then able to qualify
as bondsman for the six men to the
amount of 100000. and they were re-
leased from custody.
The charge of conspiracy is based on
articles printed in "The Watch Tower"
"The Bible Student" and 1.-THE Kingdom
News" publications issued by the asso-
citation and for which the men under
arrest are said to have been RESPONSE
BILE. The printed matter complained Of
by the Federal authorities is said to
have tended to promote disloyalty, in
subordination and refusal to serve in
the military forces of the country.
One specific sentence mentioned in
the complaint reads: Don't fear; the
authorities will not shoot" This was
said to have been printed in connec-
tlon with letters from various national
army camps telling of refusals to
carry arms and other ways of disobey-
ing military orders.
Frederick W Sparks, who represent
ed the men when they We're arraigned,
declared they were in no way disioyal
He said they had bought literally of
Liberty bonds, and he claimed that the
articles complained of by the authori-
ties had been submitted to the Depart
ment OF Justice at Washington before
being printed.
The Kingdom News" was sup
pressed last week by the Federal au-
thorities.
The indictments on which the arrests
were made were returned bv the Fed
eral Grand Jury last week. Three
other members of the organization
were indicted at the same time, and
the authorities expect to take them
into custody within few days.

from Judge at Chicago Trial
Notice Served on Defence That Direct Action Mthd an
jury W'll Not Be Permitted; Counsel Tells III De-
fendants Their 'Bonehead Methods" Must Cease
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,

NHpec'o' Dispatch to The Ts1bunc)
CHICAGO, May s.-Judgc Landis
served notice To-day on the ia mo,n-
bers of the l. w. w. who are on trial
before him on the charge of seditious
conspiracy that he would not permit
them to apply direct action methods to
the jury
Just. before the noon recess Judge
Lands sent the jury from the court
room. Then, holding up a copy of "The
lndQ9strlal Worker" an official "wabbly"
publication printed in Seattle, the
whito-haired lurist read q menacing ar
ucle written by II. L. Narney. a mem
Der Of the l. W. w, and which threat
ened reDrisals on the judge, the jury
ana the government prosecutors should
the J. w. W. defendants be found
guilty.
Concluding the last paragraph of the
threatening article. which ended, There
are 100000 of u.s." Judge Lands said:
1 do not know the motive that
prompted this. | hold nobody respon
9ible who is here present and involved
IN this case, but | do say that its pub
hcation, aimed as it is at the machin-
cry oil this court, constitutes q perfect
lliustratlon OF all that the prosecution
show was included in The meaning of
the word Sabotage
Paper Found in Corridor
Some among the defendants ap-
peared genuinely regretfu about the
Narney article. William D. Haywood
listened intently as Judge Lands
pounded on the bench with his fist to
emphasize the quivcring tones of his
voice.
u have been on the bench for thir-
teen years." continued Judge Lands,
and have had every conceivable thing
put up to me to induce me as a judpe
to stand and deliver. l have had
anonymous letters, telephone calls and
efforts to involve me with women, but
never before have had such cir
cumstance arise as this
Haywood's face was pale and the
other defendants were sitinc up
straight in their chairs.
i say now, as have said for thir-
teen years, that ! allow the fullest
ilberty In the criticism and condemna-
ton OF what | do. 1t is because it
aims at the jury that I take note OF it.
rms paper was picked up in a corridor
OF thus building. A juror might have
picked 1t up. 1t is of such nature
that 1t might we'll have had its effect
upon t!mld juror While I do not
thlnk we have men upon this jury who
would be affected by such an article.
stiil, selecting our juries, as we do, it is
not improbable some member might be
influenced in such manner"
Counsel Warns Defendants
George f. Vandeweer, chief counsel
for the defendants, made sharp ad-
dress to his clients before they left the
courtroom. He warned them in curt
New-York tribune., 1918-05-09

tones that if they wished him to con-
tnue as their attorney they would
nave to cease such bone-head things
as you have been guilty of since the
commencement OF the trial"
One Of the "bone-head" things Mr..
Vanderveer referred to was the man
ner IN which the I. w. w. "investi-
gated the character and beliefs of the
members of the first venire. These
were dismissed by Judge Lands after it
haa been brought to his attention that
members OF the |. w. w. had had per-
sonal contact with prospective jury
men. c. J.. Russell, a member Of the
|. W. W., has been indicted for his al
legged efforts in that connection.
In concluding his warning, Mr.. Van
delyecr expressed his regret to Judge
Landis and then turning to the prison.
ers said; Don't circulate anv more Of
your papers in the courtroom. and if
you read them here put them back in
your pockets when you get through
and pin them there"
The "wobblies" were much wrought
up because they said the COPY of the
offending paper had not been "foundv
IN the corridor, as Judge Lands be-
ileved. Instead, they said, deputy mar
shals had "frisked" the prisoners, and
had taken copies from four of the de-
PENDANTS.
Reads from l. w. w. Pamphlet
Special Prosecutor Ncbeker BEGAN
to-day to read into the record excerpts
from pamphlets published by the l. w.
". He read much of "history, struct-
ure and methods (of the /. w. W." by
Vincent st. John. Some of the strik-
ing paragraphs follow:
The l. W. W. recognizes the need
OF working class solidarity. To achieve
this 1t proposes the recognition of the
class struggle as the basic principle of
the organization, and declares its pur-
pose to be the fighting of that struggle
until the working class is in control of
the administration of industry
I'm its basic principle the |. w. W.
calls forth that spirit of revolt and
resistance that is so necessary a part
Of the equipment Of any organization
OF the workers in their struggle for
economic independence. There is but
one bargain the I. W. W. will make
with the employing class = complete
surrender of all control of industry to
the organized workers.
In short, the |. w. w. advocates the
use of militant direct action sabotage
ttactics to the full extent of our power
to make good"
r. M. Bailey, expert accountant for
the government, submitted report of
the finances of the l. w. W., showing
that the receipts of the various
branches increased markedly immedi-
ately after America entered the war.
Frank K Nebeker, special prosecutor
for the government, said that the of
ficers of the l. W. W. would be called
upon to state in detail how the large
amount of money was spent which was
collected by them between April l and
September l, 1917.
