Prior to his arrest May /, 1916, when
he attempted to address a Berlin crowd

government, LiebkAccht made himself
particularly obnoxious to the govern

Reichstag by continually challenging

RAND ATTORNEYS PROTEST.
NewtOn's Criticism Attacked By
Cntermyer and Block.

The statement criticising the Rand
School because of it's sale OF books by
Lenine and TrotZky, and linking II with
the Russian Soviet Bureau here, which
was Issued by Attorney General Newton
and published in the papers Monday,
brought protests yesterday from Samuel
neys.
Mr.. Untermyer sent a telegram to
Attorney-General Newton from White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va, in which he
said:
1T seems almost incredible that a
high public Official would descend TO
such methods of prejudicing a case In
advance OF trial"
Mr.. Untermyer also asserted that At
torney General Newton violated an or
der issued by Justice McAvoy in the
Supreme Court, to the effect that counsel
for both sides should refrain from issu-
ing statements.
The message sent by Mr.. Untermyer
concluded with this suggestions:
'TSotoriety Is 30 dear to you that
you cannot now desist from further try
ing In the papers this case which is to
be tried within two weeks. perhaps the
court will find a way of compelling you
70 do So
Mr.. Block characterized Attorney
General Newton's statement as another
instance OF the wholly unlawful con-
duct of the Attorney General and the
Lusk committee. which has marked
their prosecution OF the Rand School, a
law abiding educational institution"

Senate reform will be good for some

Senators are appointed for life by the
