Senator Owen, formerly chairman OF

s. CHIEF. 40. -.

Berlin, Friday, Feb4,eld -(By the
Associated Press -zSiegfried Vein
berg attorney for Karl Radek, the
Bolsheviki propagandist who was
arrested several days ago, has been
denied admission to his clients cell.
Weinberg, who has been prominently
identified with the Spartacan move
ment in Berlin obtained permsson Of
the courts to communicate with Radek
but an interview was denied at the
last moment by Lieutenan' of the
Reinhard regiment, Which arrested
Radek. - ~
Ralek, according to a statement by
Weinberg, is in the Moabit Jail heav
lily handcuffed. The lied Flag, the
Spartacan organ, says
eve make no secret Of our regrets
that one sof The best of our interna-
tfanhN comrades and a leader in the
Russian revolution who has set HIM
self an enduring monument in Rus
sian history, has fallen victim to
the spies Of the 'Socialstc' German
government"
The Spartacan organ says two sys-
TENS of justice prevail III Germany,
and adds:
| 1.-THE first was applied in the In
stance of Liebknacht and Luxembourg
it was assassination. The second is
military and evidence is acumulatng
in the present cas-" that the military
authorities are not reiinquishing their
prerogatives. 1t may be said however,
that if Radek is to become similar
sort of victim, the Russia government
would not satisfy Itself with mere
moral protests. just as tie moral pro-
test of the German prtleteria against
the murder of Liebl1necht and Luxem-
burg is not the final Yord that the
'proleteriat will veto. say in this
matter" '@':' -
