times.
"The President and his party did
not arrive before the curtain rose. It
was during the dairy scene when they

around the south side OF the gallery to
enter the box. The play was suspend

exclamation which did not under

There was no panic. such as a IRE

Of the tragedy coming only after sew
eral minutes. The theater people
swarmed upon the stage. An officer in
military uniform managed to get to
the President by climbing up from the
stage into the box, the door having
been barred. Laura Keene came quick
" through the gallery with pitcher
of water. lending an odd note g the
scene with her costume and makeup.
The door of the box by this time was
opened and she entered.
Intense excitement reigned, yet nc

COURT DECIDES IN
FAVOR OF BERGER
SOCIALIST EDITOR AND AsSocl-
ATEs IN ESPIONAGE CHARGES
no BE GIVEN NEW TRIALS.
Bench Divided in Decision on Radical.
Cases, Majority Deciding Judge
Lands Was Ineligible to
Conduct Trial.

Washington L. Berger, So
cialist editor Of Milwaukee, and four
cO-defendants who were sentenced to
germs ranging from ten to twenty
years for violation of the espionage
act, will be given new trials under a
decision on January 81 by the supreme
court.
Dividing, six to three, the court held
that Judge Lands of Chicago was in
eligible to conduct the trial and should
have retired on the filing of an affi-
davit by the defendants charging him
with personal bias and prejudice"
because of the nativity of certain of
them.
Berger and his co-defendants are
Adolph Germer, national secretary Of
the Socialist party. native of Prus-
STA; William Kruss, editor of the
Young Socialist magazine, whose par
ents were Germans; J. Louis Engdahl
and Irwin st. John Tucker, writer's
and lecturers, natives of the United
States, and claiming to be not of inn
mediate German descent.
The sole question before the SUI
preme court was whether Judge Lam
dis had erred in continuing to sit in
the case after defense counsel had filed
a properly drawn affidavit OF preju-
dice. Six members of the court, includ-
ing Chief Justice White, held that he
did. Three other members, Justices
Day, Pitney and McReynolds, held he
did not, and filed opinions dissenting
from that OF the majority.
Next to that of Eugene v. Debs,
the case Of Victor Berger, publisher
of the Milwaukee Leader, a Socialist
paper, attracted more attention than
any other brought by the government
under the wartime espionage act.
A movement to bar Berger from the
seat in congress, to which he had just
been elected from a Milwaukee dis
trict, was at once started. Represen-
tative Mann, former Republican leader,

beers OF the house who came out in be-

REGARDLESS OF v. s. ACTION.

the navy, In responding on January 30
to an Interpolation by Lieutenant Gen
eral Ushara, chief of staff, as to ,Ja-
pans view of Senator Borahs resolu-
ton concerning cessation of war
ship construction. Japan's naval con
struction plan, however, he said, need
not be carried out with the United

He said Japan would adhere to a
worlds curtailment Of construction
plans.
He declared Japan's naval program
was inaugurated a decade ago and was
Dorm of imperative necessity. Even If

would remain between the naval
strength Of japan and other powers. 4
