OF Soviet Russia

Resolutions Include One
Criticizing Policy Toward
Latin-American Countries

ciated Press). -- The national conven-
tion of the Socialist party adjourned
today leaving the adoption OF Con-
gressional platform and mapping out
of the partY's compaign for the next
election to its executive committee, to
meet in New York May 20.
Among the important resolutions
adopted were those calling for COM
plete recognition by the United States
Of Soviet Russia by resumption of
trade and diplomatic relations, urging
sympathetic organizations to join with
the Socialists in an amnesty campaign
for the 113 so-called political prison
ers, pledging support to the coal min
ers' strike and condemning "despotic''
rule in West Virginia, where miners
are being tried on treason charges.
Policies of the government in rela-

in force is reducing them to submits
sion an eventually transforming these
countries into vassals Of American
finance and capital" Another resolu-
tion instructed the executive commit
tee to do all in it's power to bring
about q strong and influential Pan
American Socialist movement.
The resolution calling for recogni-
ton of Soviet Russia read
"Firmly convinced that order sanity

Suit Without Calling a Witness
Justice McCook Rules Newspaper Summary of Senate
Testimony Concerning Jacob Johnston Dick
inson Was Fair and Without Malice

The action for $t50000 damages for
alleged libel brought against The Trib-
une by Jacob Johnston Dickinson re
suited yesterday in verdict for The
Tribune in Trial Term, Part VIII, be
fore Supreme Court Justice McCook
The verdict was rendered at the
courts direction on the ground that
the article sued on was privileged as a
fair and true report, published with
out malice, of proceedings before a sub
committee of the Committe on the Ju-
dietary of the United States Senate.
The Tribune contendcd that its arti-
Gle was so obviously accurate and fair
that no question of fact for determine
tion by the jury was presented. To
maintain its position The Tribune
found it unnecessary TO call any wit
nesses or to produce any evidence
other than tho entire article and a copy
Of the record Of the Senate proceed
ings.
The article which was published
on December ID, 1918, was an account
of testimony given the preceding day
by Captain George b. Lester Of the
Military Intelligence Division of the
General Staff of the United States
Army, before the Overman Senate
committee, then engaged in an investi-

Miss Hibbard will be recalled to the
stand for cross examination Mt the next
hearing, which is set for May 10. At
least one more witness will testify for
the plaintiff, it is believed Two wit
nesses besides Miss Hibbard will be
placed on the stand by John f. Mack,
guardian ad Item for baby Guy.
A witness to-day was Peter de Mile,
chief OF tho Cnughnawaga tribe of
Canadian Indians. He said that the
names of Mrs. Stillman and Fred Beau
vais had been presented to that tribe
for membership, but that the tribe
voted not to accept them because Of the
ineligibility Of white people. Fred
Beauvais, it was testified, was rejected
because his mother was white woman.
Chief de Mile was questioned in
regard to the telegram alleged to have
been sent by Mrs. Stillman after the
birth of Guy, in which it was said that
Mile said that in the Indian language
this meant a boy had been born, and
that If the telegram had said white
bear" 1T would have meant girl.

Another witness was 1ctsve Neault,
who said he was the contractor en-
gagged by Mrs. Stillman to build porch
on the house at Grand Anse. lie would
not admit that the contract had been
given him by Mrs Stillman with the
strict understanding that nothing was
to be done on the porch until after she
had left and that no ladders nor scat
