betrayed by IClephOne Talk.
DIR. Liebknecht's capture was due
to a telephone conversation overheard
by detectives in which he and Rosa
Luxembourg agreed to meet at the
home of a man named Marcusson in
the suburb of Wilmersdorf Marcus
sons home, the police say, has long
been one of the gathering places of
the Spartacans.
When the automobile which was
carrying him to prison broke down
he was warned against any attempt
at flight. The officer in charge asked
DIR. Liebknecht, who was bleeding
from a wound in the head he had re-
ceived through being struck by cane
in the hands of some member of the
mob, whether he felt able to walk q
few hundred yards to the next street,
where a new automobile could be
found
Disregards Warning; Shot Down.
DR. Liebknecht said he could, and
the party started to walk. When near
a group of trees DR.. Liebknecht
pushed aside the soldier nearest him
and dashed for the underbrush in the
Tiergarten. The soldiers ordered him
to halt. He paid no attention to their
demands and several shots were fred
Mt him One bullet struck him in the
base of the neck squareIy between the
shoulders and his death was virtually
instantaneous.
Government to Investigate.
The government announced today
that the circumstances attending the
deaths of DIR. Gebknecht and Rosa
IuXem burg would be investigated and
that punishment would be meted out
if it appeared that the custodians Of
either victim had neglected their duty
or had any part in the tragedy.
Opposed to Militarisn.
Karl Paul August Friedrich Licb-
knecht was born at Leipsic on August
13,'1871. After being graduated from
the University of Leipsic, he entered
politics as socialist. He was a rad
tcaI opponent Of the militarist poll
cies of Germany from the first Of his
political career, and this attitude
brought about his trial on charge
Of high treason in 1907, following the
appearance of an anti-military
pamphlet written by him. The charge
of high treason was not proved, but

month";

IN CITY IS SOUGHT

To Salem people with civic pride
attention is called by the leaders to
the Salem Peoples chorus, which
meets every Monday night in the
chanel of Willamette university. the
chorus is intended as community en-
ternrise without denominational or
social distinction. The only qualifica-
tions for membership are. ability TO
sing and a willingness to attend re-
hearsals.
1t. is obvious that America Is pc
ginning to- be recognized as a world
musical center. Students may now go
to the larger cities of the east and
find as good conservatory training as
in any of the European centers; but
a. wider interest must be shown In
musical matters IL the fullest develop
ment of the art Is to be- realized It.
is the hope Of the Salem Peoples
chorus to SO disseminate love Tor
good, music as to make Salem lead-
err in community singing. The uni-
versity department. has attracted the
attention of many eastern people, and
a rousing popular chorus would DO
much to promote its growth.
The course of singing under the di-
rection of Professor John r. Sites. d.
rector Of the chorus, is considered
