 Ride in Day Coach
 At the railroad station the social ist leader declared the party would ride in the day coach to Washington and donate the Pullman fare to the Russian relief fund.

They are all my friends" He also declared he would work for the release of all political prisoners.
 DeLs was convicted in September, 1915, of try ing to obstruct the draft, and was sentenced to serve 10 years in the federal penitentiary. He made no effort to prevent the imposition of the penalty, but his friends for warded an appeal to the supreme court, which in March, 1919. upheld tho conviction and Debs was taken to the Moundsville.
