about socialism"
How is she going to do it? Thru
promoting the class struggle of the
workers against the capitalist class?
oh-NoI Only thru combating pre-
judice," says the lady, and says
Feigenbaum. It's all just a matter
of prejudice. There is no class strug-
gle except in the mind of some fellow
without constructive idea in his
head"
Mr.. Feigenbaum says further that:
Recently Comrades Oswald and
Cynthia made propaganda tour"
and "After the last meeting
the two gently born comrades stood
in the streets surrounded by count
less thousands Of workers and led
them in singing The Red Flag"
! Lady "Comrade Lady"
Cynthia-has written to Mister Com
rade Feigenbaum regulating the idea
that she meant to say in the Hearst
papers that a socialist party member
in America is IAN anarchist or nihil-
list, a red revolutionary without a
constructive idea in his head" She
writes that she is sure the dear Am
erican comrades "hold practically the
same view on all great questions that
we do here Gin England)," and send
ing the American socialist party
every good wish in your struggle
against prejudice"
Mister, Comrade" Feigenbaum
winds up with saying that the noble
Lady Cynthia Mosley, and "blue-blood-
ed" Oswald as well, expect to visit the
United States shortly and that 1t is
expected that they will speak for the
socialist party of the United Statesl
We vote for Mister Comrade Feig-
enbaum to be Comrade Lady Cynthia's
gentleman in waiting on the royal
tour to try to revive the dead counter
revolutionary socialist party, which
has reached the point where It must
even worship the titles Of decaying
aristocracy.

BY CATO JONES.

TN, these times when Imperialism
= rules five-sixths of the earth and
the proletarian revolution leaps for
ward to the challenge, the socialist"
parties of all countries are forced to
reveal themselves, not a party of the
working class at all, but the left wing
of the party of capitalist order. Not
as parties having the goal of social
: ism, but so to say, special subdivi-
sions of the bourgeois party, special
izing in converting workers into sup
porters of the capitalist order.
Amusing incidents show it. Some
time ago the Berlin "vorwaerts" was
making a hero of "Genosse Pfarrer
Schmidt" (Comrade Parson Schmidt),
if we remember the name of the
preacher correctly. Now comes Will
lam Morris Feigebaum of the decrepit
American socialist party's organ "The
New Leader" to speak in unconcealed
homage of "comrade Lady Cynthia
Mosley."
In an article entitled Distortion of
Lady Mosley's Socialism," Feigen-
baum tells how the dear noblewoman
of the British peerage came into the
socialist" movement, title and all
Feigenbaum reverently remarks that
the public interest in the matter was
due largely to the Comrade Lady's
antecedents, and that:
"Her father was that most supe-
rior person, George Nathaniel Cur
zon,' Marquis of keddIeston, once
viceroy of India, the most terrific
swell in the British empire and the
most magnificentIy aristocratic to-
ry. Her mother was the daughter of
one Of the great Chicago millionaire
es, she is one OF the most beautiful
women In England, and when she
married the blue-booded Oswald

TWO OPPOSE BAN
ON DEATHP PENALTY
Special Assistant Attorney
General and Representative
Uphold Capital Punishment.

Arthur n. Sager, special Assistant
Attorney General. and Representative
Newton of Missouri spoke in favor Of
capital punishment at the hearing be
fore a subcommittee of the House Dis
trict committee today on the Mcleod
bill abolishing the death penalty In
the District of Columbia
Representative Blanton. Democrat,
OF Texas. gained consent of the COM
mittee to put into the record of the
hearings newspaper clippings and ex-
tracts of speeches about Clarence j.
barrow. who was much heralded
witness last week. Mr.. Blanton had
previously secured from the subcom-
mittee a promise that sufficient time
would be allowed opponents of the bill
to present their side OF the case.
Mr.. Sager said emphatically that
the commission of crime had been de-
TERED by capital punishment. He
learned this from extensive expert
ence, covering 80 years, and said that
originally he had been opposed to cap
ital punishment. He now believes
that the eXigencies of modern times
and the protection of society require
that society should avengc wrongs
which individuals cannot do. Regard
ing the complaint that the rich escape
more frequently than poor men. Mr..
Sager said that the fault is not so
much with the law az with society
itself. which IS frequently actuated by
maudlin sentiment. He said he does
believe that the jury SHOULD be allow
ed the alternative of bringing in a
verdict of life imprisonment CT CAPT

Agents Hunt for Man Believed
DroWned-Companion Is
Caught-2 Cars Ruined.

An alleged rum-runner Is missing
and may have been killed, another
was cut, bruised and captured, and
two $4,000 automobiles were demol-
ished and burned after a collision on
the southern Maryland pike near
Bryantown, Md, shortly after mid
night last night when the liquor car,
racing at great speed for hill. side
swiped a car containing four prohi-
bition agents going at approximately
35 miles an hour.
Men were thrown helter-skelter
yards from the wreckage, by the
force Of the collision. The dry" car
rolled over four times and came to
a stop on It's side at the roadside.
The prohibition agents, including
Chief Gerald Murphy of the local d.
vision and three others, whose names
were not made public, fortunately es-
capped injury.
After the wreck the gasoline feed
lines Of the dry" car broke and the
heat from the motor ignited the car.

tonneau warped, and the inflammable
cushions were destroyed. The liquor
car also was burned badly.
Two men were said to have been
in the liquor car. Only one was cap.
tured and Chief Murphy expressed
fears today that the second lies at the
bottom of a creek which runs along
the foot Of the hill where the accident
occurred.
Murphy detailed two prohibition
agents to go to the scene at day
break, search adjoining woods for the
man, and make certain that he was
not drowned in the creek.
Early last night prohibition agents
got wind of the fact that large ship
ment of liquor was to be run out of
Charles County over the road toward
Washington at or about midnight.
The agents laid plans for the capture
of the liquor car. which embraced a
few miles from Bryantown. Here the
dry" car took up its station.
The agents had not been waiting
long when the shrieking of a whistle
behind them on the road heralded the
approach of a speeding car. &c ting
a start to catch the car on the hill. the
prohibition machine had just climbed
to 35 miles an hour when the liquor
car, siren screaming, Numbered by.
AS it went its right tenders joggled
into the dry agents car. which
swerved, and the next instant both
machines were crashing to the side
of the road. Some of the men were
thrown out; others took the four
somersaults Of the dry" car without
injury, through good fortune.
One OF those catapulted from the
liquor car was the man who is miss
ing. The other tried to make a get
away. but was captured and brought
ia the Marlboro Jail, to be held pend
ing a preliminary hearing. He re-
fused to give his proper name. &C

WEEKS ATTORNEYS
SEEK DISMISSAL
Charges in Ship Settlement
Suit "ScandaIous ard
Frivolous" They Say.

Asserting that the charges made
by Charles B. Brewer. formerly con-
nected with the Department of JUS
tice, in his suit recently filed against
former Secretary Of War John w.
Weeks, are "scandalous and friv-
olous," Attorneys Frank ]. Hogan
and John w. Davidge, representing
the former cabinet officer. filed de-
murrer In the Supreme Court of the
District today by which they ask
that the suit be thrown out Of court.
Brewer late last month filed In the
District Supreme Court, in the name
of himself and the United States, a
suit against former Secretary Weeks
for SI,102, 900 alleged damages to the
Government as the result of the set
Element by Mr.. Weeks. while Secre-
tary of War in President Harding's
cabinet, Of claim presented by
Garden & Herd, New York brokers,
who in April, 1917, secured for the
United States seven Austrian steam
ers, which had been interned In Amer
lean ports SINCE the outbreak OF the
World War in 1914.
According TO Brewers allegation
the Garden and Herd claim was set
tied by the payment OF $550,oOO, and.
alleging that the claim was fictitious
and fraudulent, he asserts that Mr..
Weeks Is liable for double the amount
which he, as Secretary of War. au'
thorized the payment Of. and in add.
ton a forfeit of $1,000, making q
'otal," says Brewer. "of 81, 102 900. one
half thereof to be paid to the United
States and one-half thereof TO be paid
TO the said Charles =. Brewer"
In the demurrer filed today counse
for Mr.. Weeks contend that there Is
no law authorizing the suit and tina,
the plaintiffs declaration fails to make
any charge Of fraud or fraudulent
conduct. 1t Is also claimed Secretary
Weeks had exclusive authority to dc
ermine what constituted Just settle
ments OF claims growing out Of val
contracts and that the District Su
preme Court has no jurisdiction to re
view his actions. The demurrer
claims that the plaintiff Is seeking tu
recover statutory penalties for what
he alleges to be the failure Of the
Secretary of War to exercise ''ordi
nary prudence" to ascertain the facts
of the Garden and Herd claim. Coun.
sci for Mr.. Weeks say that there Is nc
statute under which any one car
penaliZe a Government official for fail
ure to exercise Ordinary prudence
in the discharge of official duties.
