Socialists Are Sentenced
at Chicago.
DEFEND THEIR COURSE
Prtsonsrs Deliver Addresses On g.
elalism and llken Themselves to
Political and Moral Martyr,
of History.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Federal Judge
Lands imposed q maximum. prison
sentence of 30 years upon Congress-
man-elect Victor L. Berger of Milwau-
kee and four other Socialist leaders,
VINO in final pleas likened themselves
to history's great martyrs.
The five men, convicted of conspira-
cy to obstruct the draft in violation
of the espionage act, succeeded in OBJ
tanning release on $25,O0O bail from
Judge Alschuler and declared they
would carry the legal fight to the
United States supreme court if neces-
sary.
Besides Berger, publisher of the Mil
waukee Leader, the other convicted
men are:
Rev. Irwin ST. John Tucker, lee
turer and writer.
Adolph Germer, national secretary
of the Socialist party
]. Louis Engdahl, editor of the
American Socialist
William F. Kruse, head of the
Young Peoples Socialist league.
Judge Lands overruled motions for
a new trial and for stay of execu.
ton and for bail, but granted the fil-
Ing of petition for writ of error.
Court Hesttates as to Bail.
Counsel for the convicted men then
went before Judge Samuel P. Alschul-
er of the United States circuit court
nf onnno1c 1>o:
Judge Alschuler said he hesitated
In granting the motion for bail lest
the defendants continue their Social
istic agitation. He interviewed each
of the five and then granted them bail,
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 with
the understanding that they refrain
from resuming their former acts and
utterances during the tendency of
their case.
The new bonds had been fixed at
SIS, 900 on each count and each of the
five was found guilty on two counts.
The surety, too, was required to be
double the sum fixed, or $1Uv,oo0 each,
or 100000 for ALL
Berger and his four associates took
full advantaie of the customary in
quiry of the Judge whether they had
anything to say before sentence were
passed, and the Milwaukee congress-
man-elect finished reading his 1000
word typewriter statement with tears
streaming down his face. He pro-
fessed no surprise at the verdict,
though declaring his conviction was
In violation of the constitution and as
serted he would retract nothing he
had said or written.
Irwin st. John Tucker, in his plea,
compared himself and the others to
Jesus Christ before Pontius Plate.

iaIism-London, Feb. 1.-The Catholic
Bishops of Holland are beforehand in
regard to the ever-spreading menace
of Socialism, and Pastoral letter
from the Archbishops of Utrecht, and
the four Bishops of his Province, was
read in all the churches on December
22nd, denouncing Socialist doctrines
in regard to ownership of property,
marriage, family authority, and human
society, as taking into no account the
eternal and Interchangeable laws of
Cod"

The Pastoral Letter of the Bishops
declares that Socialism is in conflict
with the Catholic Religion. 1t is there
fore forbidden to Catholics to be men,
bers Of, or to support, Anarchist or
Socialist associations, and the Sacra-

so long as he remains an adherent of

The Policy Of the Irish Republic

Gould Ireland be governed out OF
its own resources? Has it wealth
enough?" he was asked. YES" Count
Plunkett replied, 'the government is
now one of the dearest and least pro
ductive of any in the world. Agricul
ture and industry would increase un'
der a home government, and we be
lieve that for $6O.0O0,000 year all
necessary government could be car
ried on, including the necessary army
and navy. 1t now costs US $135, ,0O0, ,000
to $160.000,0o0 a year, which is partly
spent on our own repression.
I'm the early days of the war, we
were told that Ireland's share of the
postwar debt would amount to two
billion dollars. By this time it may
amount to three billion dollars. What
a terrible threat to a nation. Under
an Irish Republic that debt would of
course be repudiated and we should
start clear.
mot only have we had grossly un-
just taxation, but repressive system
of administration has been enforced.
We have been subject to jealousies
and grasping avarice, both in COM
merce and politics. Looking back
through history, we find that in every
instance where Ireland's trade struck
at English interests, Irish trade and
industry were sacrificed.
"Even under the benevolent despot-
ism OF Strafford, Ireland could not
but suffer. The greatest impediment
to growth has occurred through the
cutting off of Irelands intercourse
with other nations. With some of the
best harbors in the world, we remain
without shipping, through England's S
action. For instance, when the Cum
ard Company diverted it's boats from
calling at Queenstown, the German
company which offered to make it a
port of call was refused permission
to touch the soil of Ireland.
ireland looks to freedom of the
seas, the release of her commerce,
and an end of her isolation; Ireland
would make the seas roadway for
friendship with other nations, and
would help to form a society of ma
tions linked by common bond of
humanity.
while we hope gifted Irishmen
will find plenty of scope for their tai
ents in their own land-for they are
endowed with ability to govern-they
have power in other lands, for they
possess capacity to appreciate nation
al and racial differences and the
warmth of human fellowship This
capacity will remain with them to the
end"
In answer to further questions the
Count said that the bishops are nearly
all in complete sympathy with the Re-
publican Party. "Some of them have
been slow to recognize the national
idea of independence, but they are
becoming accustomed to it. Religion
and government are closely related"
he added, ''to an Irishman, who has
certain 'domesticity of religion
which is peculiar to him.
The Irish are devoted to their land
and their religion. Their troubles in
the past have been generally connect
ed with the land. Within our recollec-
tion occurred some very narrowing
evictions, and, although now about a
quarter of the tenants have become
at least part owners Of their holdings,
still there are many more who should
become owners, too. The Irishman is
not cruel or savage by nature, but he
may be driven to commit fierce and
almost savage acts If pressed too
hard"

Binford Wallace had attired himself
very carefully in evening dress, and
had gone to the cemetery presumably
shortly after midnight, wien he was

believed that Wallace was insane. and
that the death of Miss Binford. which
occurred Feb. %, had tended further
to u1balance an already erratic mind.
While Mr. Wallace and Miss Binford
were good friends, and went in the

accepted Wallace as sutton. Coroner

composed Of w. NJ. Sherlock, S. w

of suicide by poison was returned
