500 At MEETING
HELD BY RADICALS
Police Stenographers Take
Record of Abuses Heaped
on u. S. Officials.

With the police plentifully present
| but not voting, some 300 Sacco.Nan
zetti svmpathizers met in the Play
| house last night and voted to seno
President Coolidge a telegram de
handing" that he use his power &c
preyent the execution of the con
demned anarchists.
The audience included Capt. Ira
Sheetz and half a dozen of his men
from the third precinct and two head
quarters detectives-all in plain
clothes. Their presence was readily
detected by those in charge of the
meeting, however, and one OF tne
sneakers commented sarcastlcaily
about it. In addition to plain clothes
men there were two police stenog
raphers, who took down all the
speeches, and outside the building
was stationed a quartet OF uniformed
policemen.
Remarks Uncomplimentary.
If the police expected to hear ora
tory of a nature warrantlng acton by
the authorities they were dislllusioned
The stenographers took down some re
marks that were extremely uncompll
mentary to President Coolidge, GOV
Fuller. the United States Supreme
Court, Attorney General Sargent and
the State Department, but Capt
Sheetz remarked afterward that he
had heard nothing to justify police in
reference.
Harvey O'Connor Of the Federated
Press presided. He introduced
Western Starr, local economist, and
Mother" Ella Reeves Bloor. veteran
radical, of San Francisco. O'Connor
declared he was ordered out OF the
Department Of Justice last week when
he sought to have the files in the
o-VanZetti case made public. Inc
files would prove, he asserted, that
the convicted Italians are the vic.
tins of a gigantic frame-up." He
also stated that the Department OF
State had refused him permission to
examine copies of the kilograms sent
recently to American diplomats abroad
in connection with the Massachusetts
case. The speaker charged that the
kilograms would prove that America
had launched a worldwide propa'
ganda campaign against "our fellow
| workers"
Warns of Reaction.
Starr said he dreaded to think OF
what might happen If Sacco ana van
Zetti are executed.
1.-THE execution Of Sacco and van
zetti will set free their souls and start
a reaction in this world that will make
the World War seem like a play
ground" he declared.

effective use of their industrial ane

polls. Criticizing what she character

being dispensed today" she remarked

to the Supreme Court she saw two jus

arguing before them.
There were a good many womer

applause. At the conclusion Of thu
speeches, a collection was taken up t.

CIPHER MESSAGES BY GRANT

Photostat copies of the private CT
pher dispatches sent by Gen. Grant
to President Lincoln, Secretary Stan.
ton. and Gems. Sheridan, Sherman and
Halleck during the last year of the
Civil War have been secured by the
Library Of Congress.
These dispatches, which have been
added to the already extensive collec-
ton Of Grant manuscripts in the LII
brary, not only are valuable to stu
dents of the period but throw many
sidelights on the character OF the
Union leader. Many Of them have
been published and others are found
only buried in the enormous Annals
of the Rebellion, the official history
Of the war published by Congress.
Orders on Raid Revealed.
Among these secret orders are those
concerned with the devastation of
Loudoun County. Va, in 1864, by a
force of Sheridans Cavalry as a side
issue to their cleanup of the Shen-
andoah Valley. The Loudoun County
campaign was carried on generally
to deprive the Confederates of a rich
source Of food supply and specifically
to destroy Mosby's Raiders, which
were like a hive of wasps in the
hills, singing the defenses of Wash
ington.
In the order to Sheridan issued
from Grants headquarters at City
Point, Va, August 16, 1864, the Cav
airy leader Is instructed thus: IF you
can possibly spare a division of Cav
airy send them through Loudoun
County either to destroy or carry off
crops, animals, negroes and all men
under SO years Of age capable of bear
ing arms. In this way you Will get
many of Mosby's men. All male
citizens under so can fairly be held
as prisoners of war and not as citi-
zen prisoners. If not already soldiers
they will be so the moment the rebel
army gets hold Of them"
Orders Suspects Hanged.
Two days later he informs Sheridan:
1.-THE families of most of Mosby's men
are known and can be collected.
think they should be taken and kept
at Fort McHenry or some such place
as hostages for the good conduct of
Mosby and his men. When any of
them are caught with nothing to des-
ignate what they are. hang them
without trial"
