DEFENSE TOR DEBS

UML ays No Foreign Power Inspires Debs,

Nor Has He Grown Wealthy y i s e u e s

Editor of The Tribune:—Allow me t6 i,swer Mr. Moore regarding his larticle which appeared in your paper £^redhesday evening. In the first place, .. would inform Mr. Moore that the crowd numbered several thousand in"Liktead of the small figure he stated. The r»|j36cqnd thing that seems to trouble Mr. MMoore is that the Tribune made men-

Vli^Oh that ,Debs had a meeting in New IlllldfckV He thinks tfee paper is paying "\fo° much attention to socialistic af-

I think Mr. Moore can rest easy this respect. For we aH know the

§ilj|cs of the Tribune. But the TribJune, has proven Uo its readers that its ^Tiittd is a little broader than that Of r. jMoore. The Tribune realizes that i: number of its readers are members

Df' the socialist party, and are working e,pple who with' a large percentage are pposed to war. For this, I congratfp&jt&l'.thg Tribune. & Mr. Moore speaks of another issue JljjBf, the Tribune wherein it speaks of patriotic utterances of the AmeriV'ican Federation of Labor. If Mr. Moore a "iwilj take time to look up the above /i ^mentioned utterances no doubt he will & .^find they were made by Samuel Gomp*'Tfers. Sammy has a right to speak.for ihtmself, but if a referendum vote was slftken Sammy wotfld find out he was all the minority. But then, Sammy

Jwouldn't go to the trenches, anyway. •That is the way with nearly all these .^Ltriotic characters they manage th^ ,,/VfpUsiness at home and rake in the IrSf profits while the workers do the murlltjtering. In last night's paper there 'appeared a cable headed, "London telling of an English Boat but Sailing iJnder American Register and Bearing

KjSv American Flag, the Algonquin." cable also tells us tjiat the boat sunk with a cargo worth $1,500,0, chiefly with Swift's products. This what they want the American peoto fight for. I say fight, but let's £ht to keep this stuff at home to feed ae starving American people. /Another thing Mr. Moore seems to link anything uttered unpatriotic to ..is way of thinking, such as Mr. Debs p'l&aks of, is inspired by a foreign pGWer. I'will state here,, and my asprtion has been proven a thousand dthes, that Debs speaks for the work-

Dig man of the world regardless of gliat his nationality is. Now Just a yord on Mr. Debs' .attack on the capiMst class. Mr. Moore thinks that ebs is getting more than he is en.tled to. I wish to state that anybody gffho pays 25 cents to hear Mr. Debs pcjtu^ yvill get value for every penny frent. ^nd, government statistics show us, cordipg to the report on government

Spared by Wilson's commission, that 6i|~workers of America pet 17% per at of what they produce,, and then patriotic people as Mr. Moore btks we should go out and protect people who rob us of the 82% per

Mgardlng the $200 and 5300 Mr. iiebs gets for a lecture, I will start that |£'Debs always lectures under con'iafet by some socialist newspaper, and Whenever you pay '25 cents to hear g3eb8 you always get a subscription for %, period of from six months to a year, sMgjJso yon see the newspaper gets about 50 tlti^'cent of the $200. Then the lecture themjTgiy.en under the auspices of a solnfar^iist local, which gets a per cent of

KUMHe receipts. I have known Debs to comnye away-his last quarter that some xeganorj hungry man might eat. I have one

known him to give away his over-

out b&t, and even, on One occasion, to give

!==®ay

OyCPfr

his watch that a railroad man

nnrfht be spared his Job. Moore says we should stand by '.our 'country, right or wrong. That "Certainly is fine stuff, Mr. Moore.

Nojw, iri conclusion, I will say that a *v^ttorfe

noble,

benevolent and grander or

*8, more patriotic friend to the working "class never lived than Eugene Debs, *£ndl challenge Mr. Moore to prove to Hhe contrary. Again thanking the TribJs lune for its fairness to the workers, and •^wishing to the Tribune success, I am,

CAMS ON STAND AS

Describes to Jury Wound Which Killed Peter Massa—Shixkieville Well Represented.

fcororfer John O. Garrigus was the principal witness examined in the Bianchini murder trial yesterday afternoon before Judge Pulliam in the Circuit. Court. Dr. Garrigus described the nature of the wound from which Peter Massa, the murdered man, died. The wound, he said, was made with some sharp instrument which, entered the body between the sixth ahd seventh rib, penetrating the heart.

The rejnainder of fhe day was spent in the examination of Louis Rossella, who was with Massa on the everting he was killed. Rossella, examined by Prosecutor Horsley, testified that he was in the Bianchini saloon during the evening of the alleged murder and that there was some argument between himself, Massa and Bianchini concerning a diqe game. He said at one time Bianchini started from behind the, bar but that he (Rossella) pushed him back.

During the cross-examination by Attorneys Foley, and O'Mara, for the defendant, Rossella said he was born in one of the northern provinces of Italy, and that after coming to this country he spent several years in the west and then .came to Shirkieville. He said he had never had any trouble of any sort with Bianchini.

The case is attracting considerable attention among the residents of Shirkieville and numbers of spectators, both "American and Italian, are in the court room during all sessions of the court. Friends of Massa have engaged Attorney A. J. Kelley to assist the state.

Many of the witnesses are unable to speak English, and before opening the trial it was necessary to secure the services of an interpreter, the man selected .being Vito *. B. Cuttoni, an Itaiian lawyer from Chicago.

STRIKE TO BECOME GENERAL.

"Progressive" Plan to Be Chopped .If Negotiations Fail. CHICAGO, March 17. A general strike on practically all railroads operating out of Chicago will go into effect at 6 o'clock next Monday afternoon unless the differences between the railroad managers and the brotherhoods are settled before that hour, according to Timothy Shea, spokesman for the brotherhood representatives in Chicago.

Instructions to that end will be issued, Shea said, to supplant the pre.vious orders for a progressive strike. The earlier orders provided that one group of lines would be affected by the strike order today and others on Sunday jtnd Monday night. Instead of such procedure, the three groups will walk out simultaneously. Monday, unless a settlement is reached.

Shea said the brotherhood leaders here were well pleased by the turn the negotiations in New York had taken, but he stated firmly that they will not accept any compromise that does not provide an eight-hour day.

COLLAPSE OF FRENCH

Dispatches 'From Paris Say Ministers Have Resigned In Face of Growing Opposition.

LONDON, March 17.—The French cabinet has resigned, Paris dispatches here tonight, asserted.

The cabinet of Premier Briand has had numerous ups an4 downs since last fall. The opposition in the last few weeks had grown to such an extent that, collapse of the ministry was predicted on all sides.

Minister of War Lyautey resigned early in ihe week after a stormy scene in the chamber of deputies, when the opposition refused to permit him to make an explanation after criticism of the aviation service. Premier Briand appointed Admiral L&caze, minister of marine, temporarily as both war and marine minister.

The last cabinet reorganization occurred December 12th. At that time Briand remodeled his ministers on the plan just then adopted in England— namely a small, compact

IWe/n Host Seeburger Throws Annual Party

The annual St. Patrick's day social gathering of the employes of the court house, held each year with County Assessor Louis Seeburger as host, was held late Saturday afternoon. In honor of the day, green was the predominating color, but every employe, regardless of nationality, attended the event and enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. Seeburger.

Of course the "eats" were popular and the members of the "Court House Grafters" wfere not a bit backward in attacking them. The menu, which was served informally, consisted* of olives, pickles, ham and cheese sandwiches in unlimited "quantities, and chero-cola. Miss Helen Schmidt of the auditor's office made .it her duty to see that no one went without at least two sandwiches, while John Kadel of the Circuit Court showed wonderful ability as a dispenser of soft drinks.

Mr. Seeburger proved himself a real host. Special, music was furnished, and every one was delighted when lit'tle Helen Monninger, daughter of Captain and Mrs. Gerhardt Monninger, gave an exhibition of artistic dancing. The young entertainer was greeted with hearty applause at the close of her dance and the audience insisted on another number. The little girl was kept at It until she was almost tired out.

Miss Monninger set an example for the others, and Judge Gerdink wanted to demonstrate his ability as an Irish hoe-down dancer, but no suitable music could be found for this number. Then the dancing became general, with Misses Florence McLaughlin, Ruth Messick, Margaret Bohlman and Hq^en Schwable. taking part. V

Miss Catherine Schick had agreed to have her trained duck give an exhibition of its ability, but the pet bird refused to appear.

"War coun

cil," with the larger body of ministers not actively in change of France's war moves except through the war council. This council included five ministers— Briand as premier and foreign minister, Minister of Finance Ribot, Minister of War Lyautey, Minister of Marine Lacaze and Minister of Munitions and Manufacturers Thomas, a week ago the Briand cabinet succeeded in obtaining a vote of confidence in the house of deputies, but it was pointed out at that time that 200 members of the opposition purposely absented themselves. It was conceded the oppo-. nents of Briand, if they desired, could at any time defeat a vote of confidence. The exact reasons behind the criticism of the cabinet have not been made clear, except as they relate to general disposition to assault the ministry for inadequacy and inefficiency.

moderate tone of his manifesto announcing abdication of the throne of himself and his heir. The example of the Grand Duke -Michael in acknowledging the power of the new government—and incidentally that of the people—was likewise expected to result in complete harmony between the two elements traditi'ona,lly enemies —the nobility and the peasantry of Russif.

British officials made no concealment of their pleasure at success of a people's government in Russia. This jubilation was based on the known* intense anti-German spirit of the Russian people. A government formed qf these elements Was expected to be a driving force behind the army which Wo®ld greatly strengthen Russia's pcirt in the war. Moreover, the very eler tiients of the people Mow in control of the government are those to whom the army really owes its plentitude of food and comforts. The duma leaders were representatives of the voluntary Russian societies who stepped in and .endeavored to repair the corruption and inefficiency of the monarchial system. They are therefore in high favor with the army, and moreover are accustomed to the problems of handling such an army.

Prbtest in Germany.

British officials were watching closely tonight the growth of a protest movement' in Germany against the militarist forces of the empire which some' observers believe may be the forerunner of just the sort of a movement which overthrew the Russian1 dynasty. Recent speeches in the Prussian diet have a widespread attitude of sharp criticism. The conference held today at Vienna, between the new emperor, the imperial German chancellor, the Austrian prime minister, the Austrian foreign secretary and others was believed to- have been impelled by knowledge that Austro-Hun-gary will be profoundly impressed by the Russian changes. Austro-Hungary is closely akin to the Russian slavs in race and characteristics.
