General Conspiracy. It was further alleged that the de- fendants had entered into a general conspiracy with others of the “three hundred thousand members of the I. W. W. organization to overthrow the government,” and to carry on a wide- spread campaign of sabotage.” P. H. Johnson, assistant United States district attorney, who conduct- ed the inquiry, said that evidence col- lected in connection with the inves- tigation “had revealed acts of sabot- age in many sections of the United States.” He said the campaign was aimed at the destructiog of industries and ps. A second indictment charg- ed William Hood and George F. Voet- ter, who were arrested here December 22, carrying a box containing nine sticks of dynamite, with having the explosives in their possession unlaw- fully. A third true bill charged Hood | with illegaly transporting dynamite on a passenger train engaged in inter- state commerce. It was the arrest of Hood and Voet- \ter that, led to a raid on the I. W. W. headquarters here in which a num- ber of men were taken into custody and a large amount of documentary evidence was seized, Much of this evidence was present- ed to the grand jury and some of it was quoted in the conspiracy indict- ment which was returned today. , , 46 Under .Arest Forty-six. of ‘the 55 persons indict- ed today, including Hood and Voetter. have been in custody of the city and county authorities here since late last December. Two of them— Frank Reil- ly and Louis Tori—are wanted:on sim- ilar charges named ‘in an indictment returned in Chicago, according to fed- eral authorities, The names of nine of the 55 were placed on secret file be- cause they had not been taken into custody. Five of these, John W. Preston, Un- ited States district attorney announc- ed in court were involved in charges of conspiracy to violate the espionage act, dismissed recently in San Fran- cisco, The other four reside in or near San Francisco, federal authori- ties said. Warrants for the arrest of these nine were prepared today. The indictment charged the defend- ants with a generaly conspiracy by “threats, assault and intimation,” and the destribution of aleged I. W. W. literature to obstruct the activities of the government in the prosecution of the war. It alleged that they were members of branches of the organiza- tion known as “militants” and “rebels” Violation of various esctions of the penal code and war regulations and proclamations, including the enemy alien and selective draft acts, were also alleged. Letters From Chicago. The defendants also were accused }of an organized conspiracy to “injure and oppress certain citizens of the United States by threats and intimid- ation.” é Letters mailed to some of’ the de- fendants were reproduced in the in- dictment. Some of these were from Industrial Workers of the World pris- oners in the Cook county jail in Chi- cago, They urged men on the “out- side to greater effort in their work” as “the best means of helping their fellowmen in jail in Chicago.” WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION ‘Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.—Indus- trial workers of the World on the Pac- ific coast have planned wholesale des- truction of industries and shipping, and other interference with prosecu- tion of the war, it was said Friday at the department of justice. The in- dictment of 53 at Sacramento by a federal grand jury is the result of recent investigations by government agents who discovered that leaders were plotting systematic sabotage. To Foment Strikes The investigation was a direct re- sult of the recent attempt to blow up the governor's residence at Sacra- mento. Agents discovered a number of plottersfi whose activities extentled throughout the Pacific coast territory. In addition to blowing up factories plotters in that section of the coun- try had. planned to fomet strikes among workmen engaged in war in- dustries, destruction of fruit trees and crops, and to a lesser extent the de- struction of ships being built in yards along the coast.

ASK RETURN OF PAPERS Chicago, Ml, Feb. 9.—Counsel for 92 of the 166 alleged members of the I. W.

WADE SAVED London, Feb. 9.—The correspondent of the press association at an Irish port says the survivors of the Tus- cania who are there. were greatly re- lieved to hear of the safe arrival else- where of Major Benjamin F. Wade, of Washington, commander of a contin- ‘gent on the steamer, and hundreds of American troops. The only two women on board, the correspondent’s account says Mrs. Col- lins and Mrs. Parsons, went down a rope into a lifeboat. The former said that when their'boat left the Tuscania many of the troops had been thrown out in lowering the next boat. “We were’ immediately surrounded by men in the icy water wearing life- belts” she said. “We had only two men in-our boats. who could manage the oars, They did their best and as we came across a swimming or floating man we gathered: him into the boat. Soon the. boat :was very full. We wit- nessed many distressing scenes. Event: ually we got on board a destroyer. I can’t remember a harder bit of work.” A soldier who heard Mrs. Collins, a stewardess, tell the story said: ” «Praise for Woman “Yes, and you did as much as the best man in the world could have done. I was in your boat and saw you.” A young officer, answering a ques- tion as to what the soldiers did while waiting for the destroyers after the first excitement was over, said: “Oh, we soon steadied down, loung- ed about and smoked, but we did not venture below to gather up our be- longings for fear the ship would sud- denly capsize. We talked. about the misfortune of. crossing the Atlantic only to be caught in the last lap. We cheered the first destroyer which came alongside and its men cheered. us. Their work was magnificent, and only when they saw they could save no more lives did they leave the scene. It was thought well to make for dif- ferent ports, and'here I am among people who have overwheln:ed us with kindness:” Would Not Have Missed It. A young trooper, when asked wyat he thought of the experience, said he would not have missed it for anything. “I was on deck talking to my chum,” he went on, “when I heard a bang, and up went a whole heap of wreckage and water over our heads. I was drenched to the skin. Nobody scream- ed, but you can imagirie how it felt to stand shivering in the darkness, not knowing when we would get another shot that would send the boat to the bottom.” FACE BROKE OUT WITH PIMPLES Difigwrod Very Muck Itched and Burned. CuticuraHealed, “My face broke out with red, sogé. looking pimples. The pimples festered irritated very much, and mostly al- ‘ways came to a head so that my face was disfigured véry much for the time being. \, Later on they became itch: §) and burned a lot. This lasted about two or three months, “One day I sent for a free sample of Cuticura Soap and’ Ointment. I applied them in the evening and slept better for .they cooled my face, so I bought more and in three weeks my face became clear,and I was healed.
