America was sarcas- tically branded as .“free.” A ocaustio article dealing with conscription and ‘containing arguments in opposition was contained, the lines being close together and inferiorly printed. In one corner, the type being of a smal- ler type, was printed “Portland, Me.” Another circular contained an ‘ab- stract from the Constitution with an interpretation intended to show that under it conscription is not legal. On the third circular was shown a man, stripped to the waist, tearing up a conscription paper. In bold letters, “No Conscription” was prominent at the top of the articles. On the op- posite side was the inscription “No Conscription League, 20 Bast 125th street, New Yorl Although the authorities believe the name and ad< dress to be affixed for a misleading purpose and in an attempt to give weight to the subject matter New York and federal authorities will be com- municated with in an attempt to run down those responsible. The, paper used in the circulars much resembles that used in the anti- wap circulars, distributed less than a month ago. ) Police investigation daisclosed that the southern ard western parts of the city were more generously visited than other sections. The circulars ‘were freely distributed, thrown on verandas, about yards and nailed to posts. There is every indication that there were a number of persons en- | gaged in the work. No place was ap- parently neglected. Despite the nt- st vigilance of men on the regular night detail and men detailed in plain clothes, those responsible eluded de- tection. The first official report of the dis- tribution: came in a telephone mes- sage from: 11 Madison street Saturday. night to the effect that, upon arriving home about 10:50 o’clock, a resident found several handbills oh his ver- ‘anda. The informant said that his wife had seen two men leave the cir- culgrs and depart in the direction of Columbla street. No description. “l Policeman Alfred E. Atwater, | was oft duty, telephoned to headquar- ters that Maple street had been flood- ed with the circuiars. The next de- velopment was the arrest of Macskg. Reports_from all parts of the city speedily followed. Policeman An- thony Walinczus reported finding a ‘bundle of them nailed to a fence on his Lincoln street beat and remem- bered seeing two men leaving that vicinity as he approached after ring- ing a duty call. Chiet of Police Willlam J. Rawlings does not mince matters in saying that every effort will be used in running down those responsible. While the authoritiés will not admit that repre- wentatives of the government are in the city, it is today reported that sev- eral known secret service operatives have been seen about the streets. Maczka was re-arrested this after- noon in behalf of the federal govern- ment by State Policeman Rowe H. Wheeler and H. A. Lane of tha De- partment of Justice and taken to Harttord.
