CHARGE GRAFT"
ANSWER FRAUD"
Grand Jury Has Case
of Queens Bribe

The Queens County Grand Jury at
2 D. m. yesterday took up the case OF
bribes offered to George Harvey,
president of greensboro. Harvey's
direct accusation is that the ring OF
politicians, both republican and
democratic, that control Queens
boro, and the sewer pipe manufac-
turers, combined to offer him a
bribe of 100000 to let certain prac-
tises of his convicted predecessor
Maurice Connolly, continue.
Connolly was president of the
boro until he was convicted of par
ticipating in a $5,000,000 sewer pipe
graft.
Berg Go Between.
Harvey's main specification is
that a private detective named
Frank H. Berg, Jr., came with
others to Harvey's home at New
Milford, Conn.,, and that the bribe
was offered there. He says it was
offered again, before witnesses at
his office in the Boro Hall.
Berg admits the visit but says he

DR|TTEN ADMITS
NAVAL RACE AS
COOLIDGE SIGNS
Fifteen Cruiser Bill
Now Law; Funds for
Building at Once
England Is Retaliating
u. S. Imperialist Says
She 'Menaces World

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS (UP).-
Chairman Britten Of the house naval
affairs committee issued statement
today praising President Coolidge
for signing the cruiser bill and
charging that the Lord Birkenhead
naval construction program adopted
by Great Britain "is a distinct men,
ace to the balance Of the world"
The British admiralty, on receipt
of news that U. S. imperialism was
building a fleet against British inn
perialism, accepted the challenge
with a formal statement that Britain
would build an equal number of war
ships. All European official and
semi-official comment has since rec
ognized that naval race, leading
inevitably to war, is going on be-
tween U. S. and England.
President Coolidge, as was expect
ed, signed the fifteen cruiser bill to-
day, after a fifteen minute confer
ence with senate and house leaders
as to the best way to divert govern
ment funds to an immediate build
ing program. 1t was decided that
this would be done best by passing
an amendment to the naval appro-
priations bill. The first appropria-
tion will probably be $50,000,000.

CATHOLICS MAKE
THREATS TO KILL
Letters From Heaven
to Gales and Gil

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13.-With
more bombs found, with threatening
letters from Catholics seeking to re-
venge the execution of Toral, the
Catholic murderer of Obregon, the
Mexican police are guarding many
Of the political associates of Presi-
dent Gil and ex-President Gales,
while three foreigners, one consul
of Bolivia, have been ordered de-
ported for stirring up Catholic re-
bellion.
Ex-President Gales received many
threatening letters, some saying the
Catholics would kidnap his daugh-
ter, who is married to a Yankee, a
son Of sugar capitalist of Michi-
gan. Some of the letters were writ
ten on white cloth and said: This
fell from heaven"
President Gil, issuing new state
ment on developments, declared that
newspapers were shielding the
Catholics by trying to ascribe the
crimes to political groups or a po-
litical party He denied this
which was aimed by the papers to
turn attention from the Catholics to
the Ccmmunists-an said that doc
uments and investigation show that
the criminals are "exalted fanatical
Catholics"

TQil 3 Young
Workers; Gaze
Ont Leaflets

Three terrible criminals appeared
in the Fourth District Court yes
terday morning. They were Bertha
Rosenberg, Rose Kleidman and Ere
da Kass, all members of the Young
Workers League. These three des-
peradoes were charged with the
neinous crime of distributing leaf
let's to the pupils of Washington
Irving High School, 18th Ssreet and
Irving Place.
The leaflet protested against the
action of the school authorities in
suspending Rose Pollack for mem
bership in the Young Workers
League.
Magistrate Jean Norris, notorious
for her anti-labor bias, tried to i'm
press the three girls with the
enormity of their crime. She was
volubly supported by Principal Ed
ward C. Zabriskie, of Washington
Irving High School, who proved
that even the most mediocre peda-
gogue can be expert in the art of
licking the boots of his masters.
The three girls were however, vis-
IDLY unimpressed with all this
fuming.
jacques Buitenkant, representing
the New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense, appeared
in behalf of the defendants, but
Magistrate Norris overruled ell his
arguments and declared them
guilty. They were sentenced to one
day in Jail or fines of SIS each.
They chose Jail.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Feb. 13.
The mill barons of New Bedford,
through their instrument, the Su-
perior Court of Massachusetts, will
on Monday set in motion the elab-
crate fraud of capitalist justice
when 662 of the most active partici-
pants in the New Bedford textile
strike face trial in the largest mass
trial in the history of American la
/ Dor.
The trial of 25 strike leaders on
two conspiracy charges is also sche-
duled to begin Monday. Among
those indicted on the conspiracy
charges are Albert Weisbord, secre-
tary of the National Textile Work
ers Union; Fred Biedenkapp, ma
tional secretary of the Workers In
ternational Relief, and Paul Crouch,
national secretary Of the All-Ameri-
can Anti-Imperialist League.
Variety of Charges.
The 662 workers are being tried
on variety of charges, including
! disorderly conduct, melting to riot,
parading without permit and what
ever other charges the police Off
cials Of New Bedford were able to
devise. All of the 662 strikers have
already been convicted in the dis
trict court and they are now being
tried ON an appeal. Some of them
have been convicted as many as 12
times. Practically all the strike
leaders are among the 662, including
William T. Murdoch, Fred Beale,
Jack Rubinstein, Ellen Dawson and
Eli Keller.
The International Labor Defense,
which is defending New Bedford
cases, is planning to make one of
! the greatest fights in its history to
prevent the conviction of the work
ers. Clarence Darrow and Arthur
Garfield Hays, who have appeared
in many prominent labor cases and
defended Greco and Carrillo last
year, will lead the defense corps.
Hays will be present in New Bed
ford Monday, as will Joseph Brod-
sky, New York labor attorney. The
I. l.. D. has also wired Darrow to
make all possible efforts to appear
here at the start Of the trial.
Try to Crush New Union,
The International Labor Defense
points out that the trial of these
militants is an attempt ON the part
Of the mill owners to deal crush
ing blow to the National Textile
Workers Union and remove its lead
ing members from the field of ac-
tivity. The l. l.. D. calls upon all
oiass-conscious workers to back its
fight to smash this attack of the
boss courts which comes at a time
when the mills are engaged in a
ruthless wage cutting campaign.
Paul Crouch, national secretary
of the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League, was arrested yesterday
morning on a warrant of extradi-
tion to the state of Massachusetts.
The arrest was made by two detec-
tives of the bomb squad shortly
