Cillett viii Oppose
Seating of Berger
Candidate for Speakership Says
House Should Exclude
Convicted Socialist
Nem Yorh Tribune
,r0sL;nnto, P.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.~Determined
opposition to the seating of Victor Ber-
ger, of Wisconsin. as a member of the
House in the next Congress was voiced
today by Representative Frederick II
Gillett, of Massachusetts, the first can
didate to take the field openly in the
Spcakership fight.
In discussing the policies to be adont-
ct.d in the next Congress by the Repub-
Leans, Mr.. Gillett said:
In my opinion, the very first act of
the new House should be to refuse a
seat to Victor Berger. Twenty wears
ago voted to throw out Brigham Rob.
erts, because he was Mormon living
with plural wives, and he was rejected
by majority of more than five to one
Il think there is much more reason
to reject Berger, who was under indict
ment for disloyal acts at the time of
his election, while the war WAS still
raging. and who has since been tried
and found guilty on the Indictment.
The evidence convinced me of his dis
loyalty, and believe the country pen-
orally approved the verdict Of the jurv.
and | think his guilt is sufficiently
manifest to disquaify him from Con-
grcsS.

Federal Brief Cites Finding
in Draft Cases 10 Show
War Congress Had Right
to Halt Anti-Draft Talk

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-A govern
Court day upholding the action OF
the lower court in the case of Eugene
V. Debs, the Socialist leader, sentenced
to ten years Imprisonment under the
espionage act for statements made in a
speech ct Canton, Ohio, last June. It
declares that since the Supreme Court
recently held in the selective draft
cases that Congress had the power of
depriving a man of his liberty, even of
his life, for the purpose OF raising an
army, "surcly for this same purpose
of raising an army Congress may re-
Quirc the citizen to refrain from a
deliberate, wilful obstruction of the
process of obtaining the requisite num-
ber Of fighting men,"
War as Essential as Justice
Replying to contentious that the act
interferes with the freedom of speech,
the government brief said:
mo authority can be adducod for the
defendants contention that there is a
constitutional right to obstruct by
speech the exercise Of the power to
raise armies so long as the speaker
does not urge a violation of the law.
If, as has been held by this court, pun
ishment may constitutionally be meted
out for wilful obstruction of the ad-
ministraton of justice, it is difficult to
see why the administration of the war
powers of Congress is not entitled to
the same protection. The events of
1917 showed that war may become as
essential as justice to the preservation
OF our democratic form Of government.
This espionage act was obviously de-
signed to protect the whole military
programme against all types of inter
ference Herewith, and it is reasonable
inference that in the phrase 'obstruct
the recruiting and enlistment service
Congress intended to cover all wilful
interference with the process OF raising
of the army. But purposcful ipcitc-
ment to specific unlawfulness on the
part of others is just what the defend
ard was charged with in this case, and
the jury found him guilty"
"Criticism Was Suppressed'
Gilbert L. Roe, who is counsel for the
defendant in n similar case pending,
filed a brief in the Debs case as a
friend of the court" contendng that
the espionage act intcrfered with free
dom Of speech and the press, and chat
all hostile criticism of every measure
even remotely connected with the war"
rad been suppressed through punish
ment of those attempting to indulge in
such criticism.
In passing the espionage act and sub
sequently amending it, Congress, the
brief said, "clearly yielded to temptation
under the eXigencies of war to strike
down and destroy the free speech and
free press clause of the Constitution, in
order, AS it was believed. that the war
making powers of the government
might be more effectively carried into
execution"

Baker Invites Full

OF Kansas, calling for Congress ssional in

IN this division.
Inc resolution, Representative Camp
oell SAID, was founded on reports cur
rent IN Kansas and upon statements
MADE by governor Allen. 1t asked for
investlgation of reports that the djvis-
Ion in seven day fight in the Argonnc
forcst, lacked adequate artillery sup
port ammunition food. airplane pro-
lection and adequate care of wounded,
i'zo0 OF whom were said to have been
lett on wet ground without shelter for
thlrty-sx hours.
Genera March said that 100000
american troops participated in the
Argonnc fight, They had behind them
4,oOo guns. he said, and the infantry
Secretary Baker said the War De-
partment invited the fullest nvestipa-
tlon. He said he felt that the men Who
could tell Of all that happened were
st,ll In France, ard it would be impos-
s,oie to hold just inquiry without
their evidence. He said he did not
1avor sending a committee to France IN
investigate.
The total replacements of the 95th
for all causes, Secretary Baker said
were 10,605 men from its arrival in
France up to November TO- He thought
1t indicated an "overestimate" in the re-
port cited by Representative Campbell
that 1000 men of the 10000 infantry
Of the division had been killed or
wounded.

hibiting the collection of long distance
tolls inaugurated by Postmaster Gen

the Postmaster General as a RUTHLESS
attempt to override state rights
Judge Kinkead said:
"The act of Congress does not au-
thorize the government custodian for
war purposes to ruthlessly attempt to
override state rights, state laws and
state officials to whom are committed
the powers and duties relating to such
matters by our own laws and statutes.
A temporary restraining order may be
allowed, and, SO far as this court is
concerned the decree may be made
permanent without further hearing"

Confession Not Verified
Man Who Said He Killed Mary

Patrick O'Donnell. who confessed
the murder of Mary Elizabeth Riddell.
in the Glen Morris section of Rich
mond Hill, l.. l.. on January 15 Will
be arraigned before Magistrate Doyle
in the Jamaica police court this morn
ing. Unless new evidence is found to
corroborate O'DonnelPs story, he prob
ably will be released from custody.
District Attorney Dennis j. OLeary
of Queens County, said last night he
did not have sufficient evidence to war
rant him in asking that O'Donnell be
kept in custody.
The police are reluctant to admit
that ODorncll's self-accusation cannot
be substartiated. They tried yester-
day to show it would have been possible
for O'Donnell to have killed the girl
and still be back in Manhattan at the
time q score Of witnesses testified to
having seen him. Later developments,
however, destroyed even this posi-
bility.

20 Are Educators and Ten
Ministers. All Connected
With Various Activities
Many From New York
Overman Committee Gets
Official List as Made Up
by Military Intelligence
Ne,c York Tribune
Itrsb uton Rtirco,,


WASHINGTON. Jan. PA "Whc's
Who" of the pacitist and radical intel
lectuals who are alleged by the Mill
tary Intelligence 10 have led in the or
ganizations opposing the war, or the
means taken to prosecute the war, was
made public to-day by the Overman
committee, which is Investigating Ger
man propaganda.
The list contains sixty-two names,
including twenty-six educators, ten
clergymen and a scattering of social
workers, editors, lawyers and others of
the professional type of men and
women.
This list was prepared by Archibald
E. Stevenson, head of the propaganda
bureau of the Military Intelligence Di-
vision, and at the request of members
of the committee, who declared they
believed the American people should
know who these people are. They are
all persons who were active in various
pacifist or radical organizations.
"Can there be any question but what
the activities of these organizations
contributed to the cause of Germany
and were harmful to the United States
and the morale of the American peo-
ple?" Senator King asked Mr.. Steven
son.
81 think there can be no question of
that" said Mr.. Stevenson. He ex-
planned that his bureau had made no
attempt to pass on the motives of these
people.
Enemies of Their Country
"When the country is at war" said
Senator King, Fighting a nation that is
determined to destroy your country
and civilization, there is only one con-
clusion that | can draw from the ac-
tivities of any persons if those activi-
ties in any degree help the enemy and
hurt their own country, and that is
that they are enemies of their country" "
When the question of the activities
of educators was up Senator King re-
marked that there was less excuse for
the intellectuals than for others, and
Senator Nelson, in asking for the list,
said "the American people ought to
know these professors"
SIN these universities there has been
a fostering mass Of pure atheism and
the grossest kind Of materialism," "
said Senator King, "and of teachings
destructive OF our form of government
and the civilization which a Christian
government recognizes. We ought to
weed out and drive out of the univer-
stiles these pernicious teachers"
The list includes such people as the

SMOKING TOBACCO
FACTS FROM The
ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use of FIav0rings Deter
mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking to-
bacco: &c. on the Continent and in
America, certain sauces are employed
:. the use of the sauces is to improve
the favour and burning qualities of the
leaves" Which indicates that smokers
enjoyment depends as much upon the
favoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the mat
ter of flavorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You will notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
