HIGHEST COURT.
TOHEARL.W.W.
Appeal Filed Today for william
D. Haywood and 78 Alleged
Draft vioIators.

With the filing in the United
States Supreme Court today Of a
petition for a writ Of certiorari. the
legal hattie for the freedom Of Will
liam ID. Haywood and seventy-eight
other members of the Industrial
Workers OF the World, who were
convicted after sensational trials at
Chicago in 1918 on charges Of con-
spiracy to violate the Selective Serv-
ice (Draft) Act and the Espionage
Act. entered its final stage.
CONTENTION OF PETITION.
The main contention in the petit.
tion and the brief submitted In its
support. which were presented by
Otto Christensen, OF Chicago, who
IL associated with George f.. Wander
veer as counsel for the petitioners
Is that the search warrants used by
the federal agents who seized tons
of books, records, letters and docu'
ments OF various kinds in more than
nifty simultaneous raids on Septem'
ber 3. 1917. were invalid.
1t is contended that neither the
warrants nor the supporting afn-
davits adequately described either the
places to be raided. which included
hIi the OIHCcS OI inc 4. W. w. anu u
few private residences in sixty Amer
lean cities, or the things to be seized
nor did the affdavits recite any facts
showing probable cause for the issu-
ance Of the warrants.
The petition sets forth that the
CIRCUIT Court Of Appeals for the
Seventh Circuit, which on October s.
1880. affirmed the judgment OF the
United States District Court at
Chicago, conceded the invalidity OF
these search warrants, but got
around this defect in the Govern
ment's case by a specious process OF
reasoning. 1t is pointed out that
the documents, correspondence and
records seized were submitted to the
grand jury and the indictments re-.
turned were based upon this evi-
dence and that II. was admitted oy
the Covenant that this evidence
was seized for testimonial purposes,
The use of these papers against the
defendants. II is contended, was ir-
Iefutably In violation Of the Fourth
and Fifth Amendments to the Con-
stitution.
ATTACK TWO COUNTS.
There were FIVE counts in the orig
inal indictments by which ninety
eight defendants were brought TO
trial and convicted before Judge
Kenesaw NJ lands in April 1918,
but one count was withdrawn from
the jury and two others were held
by the circuit court Of appeals not
to be state offenses. OF the two re-

Easy Money for You.

II you had $S5 that wasn't working, and

$S5 for few years I'll give you the best Sc
curity in the land, and at the end of the time
II give you your $S5 back and SIPS to boot"
what would you say? Or do?
That's the proposition that has been 6g-
ured out concerning Liberty bonds. 1t is the
idea launched by the editor of the South Bend
Qnd) Chamber Of Commerce house organ. II
is a scheme to make and to save. He says:
"A dollar saved today, in less than 10 years
is going to be worth, perhaps, We can esti-
mate, as high as two dollars, including inter-
est We can get Liberty bond now for about
$S5, for which the government will, in term
of years, hand over to US $780, and pay US
interest in the meantime. In ten years We can
get for our $500 at least what We would pay
$3.50 for at this time. Then there is the $40
in interest, which may be more if We put it
in the savings bank. We can then get $50 in
present values for this. So, not counting in
the probability that the. bonds will some day
sell at premium, and waving little matter
OF interest on our bond interest, We can col
lect in 10 years about $210 for each sS5."
This is the scheme. Is there flaw in it?
There's good way to pack away few hun
dred dollars for the children Watch it grow.
