HANG ANARCHISTS
 HIGH As HAMAN,, SAYS MIR. b[ANTO

WASHINGTON, June 4.--Anarchistic attempts on the lives of public men was denounced today in the house.
 Mir. Blanton made a general attack on labor unions, saying he had been receiving anonymous letters from all parts of the United States, telling me that if I ever opened my mouth against the unions again, what would happen to me and my amily."
 T hope you open your mouths, shouted Mir. Blanton, and tell these anarchists-I do not care if they are labor unionists or not-that if they do not stop their practices, and I hope you tell MT. Gompers that if he does not purge his labor unions of anarchy and disregard of law, we are going to catch ever yone of them; that we are going to catch all the anarchists, though they are members of unions, and hang them as hig has Haman.'

FORD ALLEGES PAPER VAS PRO-G GERMAN IN
 MEXICAN TROUBLES

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, June 1.-The pro- -Germanism alleged against the Chicago Daily Tribune by Henry Ford, wso is suing the newspaper for S1,00C,- 900 damages on a charge of libel, came before the jury in Judge Fuckers court here today. in connection with the deposition of Edward Goldbeck, for merly special writer for the Tribune.
 Goldbeck's writings were character ized by the counsel for plaintiff as pro- German. Attorneys Kirkland and Stevenson protested that if they were given to the jury, in fairness, parallel columns of the Tribune, giving the view of pro-ally writers should be given.
 For every pro- German story you think you found in the Tribune, can produce ten broadly articles-enough to keep you here three years,' said Attorney Kirkland.
 Attorney Alfred Lucking stated the purpose of the deposition, which did not quote any of the Goldbeck articles, was to show malice on the part of the de- fendant in printing, June 2, 1916, the editorial, headed, Ford is ar anar- chist," We charge that the Tribune sought war with Mexico in 1916 for two reasons" said Mir. Lucking. First. because the paper was proG German and sought to aid Germany by concentrate. i ing American energy and resources on Mexico, thus curtailing shipments of supplies to Germany's enemies. and second, because of the selfish inter ests of the Standard Oil company and the International Harvester company l in Mexican oil and sisal."
 Ford Opposed War i Henry Ford at that time stood as | probably the foremost opponent of war with Mexico, and we assert that it was i for this reason that the defendant newspaper attacked him, calling him an anarchist"
 i Mr. Goldbeck in his deposition said l he was born and educated in Berlin and 1 for time was a lieutenant in the Ger 1 man army. He later became what was i called an "oppositional writer or one who opposed the kaiser. This attitude, the deposition said. made life uncOm- fortab-e for him in Germany and he concluded to investigate democracy at it's source,' and to "catch the spirit of ] the American people"
 At the time the United States broke relations with Germany, he said, he had taken out his second naturaliza- tion papers. as it was his belief that man should be loyal to the country of his adoption.
 What wrote for the Tribune were my own ideas. No one instructed or guided me as to what l should write ? deposed Goldbeck.
 Sometimes, what l wrote on what they called the 'highbrow page was o1 -r- ject to the characterization pro Ger man. as applied to my writings; wa, merely presenting a point of view"
 The deposition said that 00ldbeck advocated universal military training in the United States.

(By Rex. Hunter)-At Central Music
Hall last night the American Negro
Drama league presented three one-aet
plays by William Moore, Negro play
wright. All three plays were Of high
merit and the acting was also excellent,
distinguished by a sort Of quiet nat
uralism- The audience was very small

publicity. Because these people are
poor and struggling and are trying to
express themselves in the face Of great
handieaps, resolved to write some
thing about them If the editor of The
Post would grant me a little space.
This he has been generous enough to
do.
The plays presented were "Lindy,"
a moving little drama; "Four Wayfar-
eB," a biblical play adapted by the
author from a. story by Ada Mckinley
and Andrew Bryant, and a comedy,
% Aunt Hannah" The first and third
were the best. The second IS very am
bilious and a little out of reach of the
players. Excellent acting in "Lindy"
and "Aunt Hannah was done by
Marie Burgette and Sol. 8. Bruce.
Praise is also due Bertha Hensley for
her Interpretation of the role Of the
blind mother in "Lindy."
