same cheering reception as accord

The crowd gathered from nowhere

element SO peculiar to a French
crowd.
Most of the lads were slightly
wounded. They grimly smiled at
the cheering throngs. As they passed
from the station into waiting Red

Edward A. Rumley Col
$l,36l,0O0 to Buy Even
ing Mail Charge.

New York, July s-Edward A.
Rumely, vice president of the Mail and
Express Company. which publishes the
New York Evening Mail. was arrested
today upon an astounding charge In
volving alleged pro-Germanism. and
was locked up in the Tomss prison.
Bail was fxed at s1eoeoo. No bonds
man forthcame. He was committed. to
to a cell. 1t was alleged that 1851 200
paid to Rumely had been traced to
Won Bernstorff's and Heinrich F. Al
bert's bank accounts
Rumely's arrest followed q pro-
longed grilling at the Department Of
Justice. where he was questioned
again as to the sources from which
he secured the money with which he
some time ago purchased the Even
ing Mail.
He claimed he secured most. or all
of the money. 1t was stated, from a
woman. The woman he named had
been previously questioned by De-
partment of Justice officials. and had
emphatically denied having given him
any money with which to buy the
newspaper.
Rumely was charged with perjury.
Rumely's arrest was made upon z
warrant issued by Federal Commits
sione. Hitchcock, upon a complaint
submitted to United States Attorney
Francis G. Caffey's Office by order OF
Attorney General Merton e. Lewis.
Assistant Attorney General. Alfred
z. Becker and Assistant Federal At
torney Harold Harper issued state
ment tonight, in which they said:
"The Bureau of Investigation of the
Department Of Justice and Attorney
General Lewis have been conducting
an ivestigatio for some time into The
affairs Of the Mail.
1T appears that Rumely purchased
the stock Of the Mail and Express
Company in June, 1917, from Henry
l. Stoddard. and that in doing so he
acted on behalf Of the imperial Ger
man government.
'"The money was paid to. Rumsly
from deposits OF the German govern
ment in this city. standing in the
name of Heinrich F. Albert, CONNER

The representatives of the men

with the board during the hearings
that II was financially impossible
for the companies to pay the wage
increases at their present rates of
