records Of four days testimony bv DR..
Grlebl. There are persistent reports
OF high explosive content in his
testimony, but this writer could get no
official information. There was, how
ever, an official hint that this trial
was just preliminary workout and
that the main event would come later. !
Dr. Griebl. Yorkville physician and '
former president of the Friends OF

The Germans fined him go marks for

Dr. Griebl made it clear that he stood
for no nonsense On June 9, 1894,
he said, Germans in this country are
tired of being kicked around by
politicians. They are organizing now
for unified political action" He was
an active and tireless agitator, featur-

He fought through the World War
with the German Army, a first lieu-

was signed. He came to this country
in 1922, received his degree at Long

Socialists threatened with expulsion
from the Assembly at Albany on the
ground that they had been elected
on a platform absolutely inimical to
the best interests of the State Of New
York and Of the United States"
Within 48 hours of the outbreak Of
the episode, which provoked Nation
wide agitation, the former Governor
and Supreme Court justice wrote the
speaker of the Assembly, respecting
the proposed action against Claessens,
Solomon. Waldman. De Witt and Orr,
that 1T was absolutely opposed to the
fundamental principles of our Gov
ernment for majority to undertake
to deny representation to the minor
ity through the men who had been
elected by ballot lawfully cast" The
five Socialists were not expelled, but
merely subjected to investigation by
the body authorized to examine the
fitness of Assembly candidates.
Later the New York City Bar Asso-
citation adopted resolutions offered by
Hughes, protesting any attempt to ex-
clude legislators because Of their affili-
alton with any political party, when
they are seeking by constitutional and

In one of his earliest decisions after
becoming Chief Justice. Hughes in
April, 1881, handed down the cele-
brated California red flag decision.
The case involved 19-year-old girl
who was member of the Young Com
munist League. The charge against
her concerned a daily ceremony at the
leagues summer camp, in which the
young woman directed the chill
dren in raising a red flag, camp
Soviet Russia. She was convicted un-
der California State anti-red flag
law. On appeal to the Supreme Court
the latter sustained the contention
that the California statute was un-
constitutional under the 14th amend
ment, as being an unwarranted limita-
ton on the right of free speech. Chief
Justice Hughes opinion said:
The maintenance Of the oppor-
tunity for free political discussion
to the end that government may be
responsive to the will of the people
and that changes may be obtained
by lawful means, an opportunity
essential to the security of the Re-
public, is fundamental principle
of our constitutional system. A
statute which upon its face, and as
authoritatively construed is no
vague and indefinite as to permit
the punishment of the fair use of
this opportunity is repugnant to

WHILE the hairline is going up,

Until then, all we have to worry

Prosperity may still be around
the corner, but fashion won't
admit it. Luxury is the key
note of the season, in fabrics,
trimmings, accessories. Dark
greens, dark purple, or spice will
replace black in many cases, and
heavy gold and jewel en-
broideries will be used on every
thing even suits. Furs are lavish
and bulky and jewelry will look
as much like the crown jewels
of some fabulous empire as
possible. In short, you may
not be rich, but if you're smart,
you'll look as if you were.
