INVESTIGATION OF
MOB PLOT IS ON
Seamen Charged Specifically
With Mutiny, Suspected of
Bomb Outrage.

Washington, March 22.-Investi-
cation of the five men landed in
chains today at New Orleans from the
freighter Rushville has as yet failed
to uncover any evidence connecting
them with the New York bomb ex-
pIosion last September, it was stated
tonight by William ]. Flynn, chief of
the bureau of investigation of the de-
partment of justice. Mr.. Flynn added
however, that the investigation was
being continued
The men are charged specifically
with mutiny on the high seas, Mr..
Flynn explained, adding that they
would be tried in the federal court
of New York. Other officials of the
bureau, after receipt of reports from
New Orleans, also expressed the opin-
ion that mutiny was the cause of the
mems arrest.
The detention of the five men was
reported to the department only 10
days ago, Mr.. Flynn stated. adding
that all preliminary reports to Wash
ington had made it appear that
mutiny was the reason for their be-
ing taken into custody. The depart
ment, however, it was indicated, was
not overlooking any possibility that
all or some of the men might have
been connected with the bomb ex-
plosion.
Shipping board officials said they
had received no reports of mutiny
on board the City of Alton on which
the men shipped as seamen. 1t was
explained however, that such mat
ter would be handled by the New
report was made to Washington.

American army took the stand yester-
day in the trial of Carl Neuf and
Franz thinner. the two Americans,
who, with the aid of four Germans,

bach last January. Bergdoll testified

revolver at him and fired, the first
bullet hitting a young woman, Lima
the tires. thinner denied having
drawn a weapon; he said if he had
he would have fired.
Neuf made long statement de-
failing the nature of his activities as
a detective for the American military
forces at Coblenz. He asserted that
he had succeeded with the aid of the
German authorities in apprehending
numerous American deserters in var
ious sections of Germany.
He had been on Bergdoll's trail
for long time, and he said he had
sought a German police wise for his
American passport in order to avoid
complications at Eberbach- He had
sought to kidnap the American slack
er in order to forestall escape at
Stuttgart, as Neuf believed that the
German police at Eberbach were dis
inclined to assist him despite the
fact that the police authorities at
CoblenZ had given him credentials
which he understood entitled him to
operate in unoccupied parts of Ger
many.

Nicoll, chief counsel for Stillman stat
ed
The evidence already before you
shows that she took as her lover an
Indian guide by whom she had an
infant son, whom Mr.. Stillman must
acknowledge as member of his fam
lily or repudiate as illegitimate. This
intimacy began in 1916 and contin-
ued through 1919. Mr.. Stillman feels
it his duty to his fathers memory
and for his children's sake to press
this matter to conclusion
Had it been possible otherwise to
have done this than in open court
proceedings, he would have done it,
but such was not possible -
The hearing lasted only about half
an hour. When it was finished the

S13,5O0 Salvation Army
Camnaipn Week April Ills

( The Salvation Army owns a lot on
Winthrop street and at this time
wishes to put up building to, cost
about $4,000. This is your time to
help a worthy cause.
The following business men have
consented to act as committee In
the interests of the Salvation Army
Building Fund: Mayor Sanford l..
Fogg, Hon. Blaine S. Viles. Stephen
J. Hegarty, Hon. Willis E. Swift,
Hon. Charles s. Hichborn, Henry r..
Dunnack Mr. Hichborn will act as
treasurer and Mr.. Dunrack as cam
paign manager.
At this time it may be we'll to re-
member that the popular conception
of the Army is that it has two ac-
dispensing coffee and doughnuts
whenever there is a World War.
Actually it's activities are by no
means as limited as all this.
The Army has 16 major activities,
and here they are: Field or evan
geIistic work. which is defined as
preaching of the Gospel in diction
suited to the simplest of Gods crea-
lures, with the hope of immediate de-
cision for regeneration" Christmas
dinners to poor families; children's
homes; a missing friends bureau"
which searches for missing persons
throughout the world; prison work,
through which men and women in
prison are taught to accept their
punishment as just, and to re-enter
the world with the desire and inten-
ton of becoming useful members of
society; slum settlements; industrial
homes; workingmen's hotels; work
among service men; young women's
boarding homes; rescue homes for
fallen women or those with a tenden-
cy to go wrong: maternity hospitals,
where the girl who has been be-
trayed receives attention and humane
treatment" free employment bu-
reaus; anti-suicide work-which is
novel and interesting; and training
colleges for those wishing to become
officials in the Army. In other words,
there is almost every form of activity
for uplift among the discouraged and
the fallen.
The prison work alone is a man
sized job. Twenty three persons
have been paroled this year from
Thomaston State prison into the
/ custody of the Salvation Army corps
at Bath There is a great deal of work
in Bath-in the ship yards and so
| on. The agreement is that the Army
gives each of these paroled prison.
ers two weeks board and room-rent
in other words, looks after him un-
| til he is able to get back upon his
| feet. Then, if able, he is supposed to
pay back what has been advanced.
Well. IS of the % did so; and at the
! end of six months each of those 10
had neat little bank account of
5000 or $500.
| One of the paroled prisoners was
Jack Lyons. His name is used be-
! cause he is willing. He went to work
! at the Bath Iron Works, and is a re-
markably short time they made him
foreman of three rigging crews.
Then he told them he had made up
his mind to devote all his attention
to the Salvation Army They didn't
want to lose him, for he was valu-
able man, and they offered him $50
q week to remain. II can't do it," he
said, Il want to go where can spend
my life in helping those less for
| tunate."
The present campaign is for the

it's absorbing story and its unique
