> NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1917. . PHILA. TAGEBLATT OFFICE IS RAIDED Editor and Manager Held for Vio- lation of Espionage Act Philadelphia, Sept. 11.—In a raid on the Philadelphia Tageblatt, a long established German ‘language morn- ing newspaper, which is charged with having been attacking government war policies for several months. Fed- eral agents last night arrested the editor and business manager and con- fimoated large quantities of corre- spondence, files and documents. The prisoners, who are charged with violating the Espionage Act, are Dr. Martin Darkow, editor, and Her- man Lemke, business manager. Warrants also have been issued for the president, treasurer, editor in chief and an editorial writer. The government agents in one warrant charge certain members of the staff with “wilfully making and conveving false reports and state- ments with the intent to promote the success of the enemies of the United States, while the United States is at war with the Imperial German government.’” A second warrant charges the staff with using the malls for the same purpose. Instructs Readers to Break Daws. According to government officers under Special Agent Frank Garbarino, who conducted the raid, the Tage- blatt on Saturday published state- ments instructing Germans in this country how to evade the postal laws and forward letters to Germany. In these statements, government officers say, a man described as “H. Isscl- huret, care of the German Aid So- clety, Stockholm, Sweden,” was given . as ‘the official who would sce that communications addressed to German destinations would arrive unsuspected by American or Allied consors. The newspaper and business files, correspondence and other mattor seized in the raid.were taken to the The men for whom warrants were issued, including the prisoners, ac- members of the Philadephia Tage- batt Pubishing Association.

The draft was ridiculed and men were urged to resist its enforcement, it is alleged. Joseph Schlentz, president of sev- eral German societies, who came to the Federal Building, said he intend- ed to enter bail for Dr. Darkow. Government agents were occupied today in examining the large amount of correspondence, newspaper files and other papers taken from the place. Dr. Darkow and Herman | Lemke, are at Hberty under bonds of « $10,000 each for a further hearing Thursday. Federal officers hope to have under arrest by that time four other re- sponsible persons connected with the vaper. Two of them are said to be out of the city but are expected here today or tomorrow. The Tageblatt was issued today as usual. Darkow and Lemke deny that they had any intention of violating the laws of the United States. Lemke says he has been a cjtizen of the United States for 30 years. PAINLEVE BEGINS TO FORM CABINET Minister of War to Give Several Posts to Socialists Paris, Sept. 11.—Paul Painleve, minister of war, who, last night, ac- PINE TREE STATE MRS. DESAULLES IN REJECTS SUFFRAGE ARMS OF MOTHER Women Denied Voice in Elections, WA to 47,182 Portland, Me., Sept. 11.—The vote by which the constitutional amend- ment for woman suffrage was de- feated in the special election in this state yesterday, with only a few small towns missing was 32,121 to 17,132. The number of ballots cast was small- er than in some previous referendum elections. The fate of the amendment to empower the governor and coun- cil to remove sheriffs failing to en force the laws was still in doubt early today. Partial returns showed a dif- ference of only a few hundred votes in the ballots cast for and against the amendment. Among the influences which tributed to the defeat of suffrage Maine, the most important was the natural conservatism of the state, which hesitates to adopt an experi- ment in legislation. This conservative element might have remained at home if it had not been aroused by other influences. Perhaps the strong- est of these was the picketing of the White House by the miflitant suf- fragettes. This was repudiated by the state suffragists, but it seemed to have no effect on the voters, who ap- con- in cepted the task of forming a new ministry, immediately began holding conferences with party representa- tives and the prevalling impression in political circles is that he will suc- ceed in forming a cabinet. It is un- derstood that the socialist party lead- ers who refused to collaborate with M. Ribot because, it is said, of his refusal to issue passports to French delegates to the Stockholm peace con- ference, are disposed to give that col- laboration to M. Palnleve. Delegates of the socialist party wero to meet with M. Painleve today and it is con- sidered possible that tHe socialists will have several representatives in the new cabinet. The War Minister has made an ex- cellent impression in political circles, on the general public, and in the army by the measures he has taken since he has held office. Notable among them was the appointment of General Petain to be Commander-in-chief and the revival of the post of Chief of the General Staff for General Foch. In announcing his decision to give up his effort to form a Cabinet, M. Ribot sketched briefly the program he had formulated for the guldance of himself and his colleagues he had ex- pected to have with him. Of especial interest at this time in connection with the notorious disclosures in the Duval-Almerayda case, as a result of whch Minister of the Interior Malvy recently resigned, was M. Ribot’s de- cision to “apply as rapldly as possi- bleble legal measures to all the crim- inal acts which are being investigated, neglecting nothing to discover the authors of moves against the national defense, and being restrained by no considerations for any one.” His program also comprised a more ener- getle conduct of the war and the ex- tension of liberty, “on condition that its exercise be not confounded with criminal propaganda.’” Ribot’s Proposed Changes. It appears, the principal changes contemplated by M. Ribot were the gubstitution of M. Blenvenu Martin for Rene Viviani as minister of jus- tice, of Maurice Long for the much- criticised Maurice Violette as minister of subsistence, and the creation of a new ministry of national reconstruc- tlon, to which Louis Luoien Klotz, president of the chamber's budget committee, was to have been nomin- ated. On the withdrawal of the So- clalists M. Ribot proposed to make Louis Loucher, who as under secre- tary for munitions in charge of the manufacturing sectlions had rendered yoeman service in organizing the in- dustries, minister of munitions in place of Albert Thomas. When the new ministers assembled Professor Painleve announced that he would decline to continue in office without socialist representation in the cablnet. This brought about the col- lapse of the combination. The delegates of the soclalist party who announced their withdrawal of support informed M. Ribot, says I'Hu- manite, that the party did not believe a reconstruction of the Ribot ministry possible. They affirmed, according to this newspaper, that France could no longer be satisfied with governments made up of fragments from different political groups, and that the country expected of the men who took the reins a display of driving force. The delegates, continues 'Human- ite, declined to enter into a discus- sion of any political program, con- tenting themselves with declaring that the support of the socialist party could not be given to the proposed readjustment, which did not appear to them to meet the needs of the hour. They added that they felt they wer performing a painful duty, as they were in sympathy with M. Ribot on many points of his policy. What Mr. Kindelan Says Surely of Interest Readers. New Britain people are always in- terested in the statements of New Britain residents. And this is par- i ticularly true when a man so well known as Mr. Kindelan speaks. Those in New Britain who suffer from backache, headache and other kid- ney ills will make no mistake by fol- lowing the example of J. W. Kin- delan, blacksmith, 23 Seymour street, He says: “I used a box or two of Doan's Kidney Pills some time ago and I surely had satisfactory results. Tt was for a weak and painful back that T took Doan's. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills can be depended upon for such trouble.” Is to Herald 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn | Co., Mfgrs, Buffalo, N. Y. parently made up their minds that if women were going to pursue such tactics after they got into politics, it would be better to keep them out. Both sides tonight profess satis- faction. Suffrage leaders in the clos- ing days of the contest privately ad- mitter that they could not win, and the “antis” relied on the belief that the men as well as the women of the state were opposed to the extension of suffrage to women. An aggressive fight was carried on by the suffragists while the ‘“‘antis” were slower to get into action and less demonstrative in their methods, once they began their canvass. See Hope in Future. Those opposed to suffrage are con- fident that future fights will be easier to handle successfully, and say that more thorough and effective organi- zation can be effected should the fight be renewed within a few years. Buf- fragists glean their satisfaction from the fact that they broke new ground with their propaganda in almost every town and in many of the cities. They belleve that the country as a whole is moving toward suffrage, and that persistent and unrelenting effort will win for them in the long run. President Wilson, Colonel Roose- velt, Mrs. Katé Douglas Wiggin, ex- Senators Johnson and Gardiner, and ex-Attorney-General Pattangall in- dorsed suffrage. as did Governor Mil- liken, who made a personal effort to swing his supporters to the ‘‘ves" side. Undoubtedly the influence of these prominent persons, both within and outside the state, had some ef- fect. A majority of the Maine dele- gation in congress wrote homae to urge their constituents to support suffrage. T.dberal funds were at the disposal of the workers, and nearly every daily and a large majority of the weekly papers elther actively as passively supported the proposed amendment. Notable as an example of fearlesa opposition was The Bangor Commer- clal, owned by J. P. Bass who is cred- ited with doing more for the ‘“‘antis’ with his newspaper and his financial support than any other man in the state. The richest woman in Maine, widow of ex-Governor John F. Hiil of Augusta, was tireless in her efforts to defeat the amendment. While the Grange was listed as favoring tha measure, there was substantially no unity of support in that quarter. Prominent democrats favored suf- frage, just as prominent republicars opposed it. Republicans have had a plank In their platform for several campaigns in which they declared for suffrage, and the party whip was swung over the heads of recalcitrant members in the legislative session Tast Winter to force a suffrage measure through the house and senate by the necessary two-thirds vote. Several democrats in each body favored submission of the question to the people, and sev- eral republicans voted against the proposed amendment. Governor Milliken was openly an advocate of the issue in his winning campaign a Year ago. TO OUST STONE AND REED. Democrats of MIW Call Meeting For Saturday. Jefferson City, Sept. 10,—A move to force the resignations of Senators William J. Stone and James A. Reed took definite form when Democratic officials here were notified that former State Senator Thomas R. Ely had is- sued a call for a mass convention of democrats to be held at Kennett next Saturday to condemn the course pur- sued by the two Missourl senators, and to ask them to resign. Leading democrats declared there would soon be such a demand for a state demonstration against Reed and Stone that the state committee would be forced to act, or, failing to do so, would be run over. Gov. Gardner has declined appeals for such a gath- ering on the ground that it is for the people who elected the senators to act. The governor is known to op- pose their policies. Democratic politicians say that un- less Reed and Stone are thrown over- board no man can be elected to any office in Missouri who does not con- dem the two senators and uphold Presldent Wilson. Mass OFFERS TO INSTRUCT DRAFTEES Boston, Sept. 11.—Major Gen. But- ler Ames has sent personal invitations to all residents of this city accepted in the draft to accept the offer of the state guard to instruct them in the fundamentals of military drill and l regulations. Pathetic Re-union Takes Plage in “Jail at Mineola —_— New York, Sept. 11.—Mrs. Bianca Vergara Errazuriz, mother of Mrs. Blanca de Saulles, slayer of her hus- band, John L. de Saulles, arrived here sterday from Chili, and two hours later was in the arms of her daughter in the Mineola, L. I., Jail. The meeting was most pathetic. Mrs. Errazuriz was adcompanied by her daughter, Amalia, an older sister of Mrs. de Saulles and by her son, Guillermo. The party was met at the Pennsylvania Station on the arrival of the 3:55 o’clock train from Jacksonville, Fla., by Henry A. Uter- hart, counsel for the imprisoned wo- man: D. Stewart Inglehart of East Williston, his sister-in-law, Miss Bir- rell, and by a Miss Flint, an old friend of the Errazuriz family. ‘The prisoner’s mother has big blue eves and a slender petite figure. But yesterday the blue eyes were reddened slightly af if by wearlness or tears, and there were lines in her fact that told of sorrow and anxiety. She was dressed in deep mourning and the draped hat, threaded thickly with gray. The son and daughter were in marked contract to their mother. The former, in gray lounging suit and tennis shoes, tall, dark-eyed and clear cut of features, looked like the Amer- ican college boy of the best type. His sister, a wholesome looking young woman, wore a light brown ‘‘sport suit”. sadly wrinkled by travel. She revealed no resemblance to Mrs. de Saulles. The party was escorted to automo- biles. Mrs. Errazuriz walked rapidly and there was no doubt as to her anx- iety to reach the side of her daugh- ter. When asked for an interview she hesitated and then turned to Mr. Uter- hart. “Tell them this,” she said in perfect English, “that I am here to do for my daughter all that a mother can do. That is all I will say or can say at this time.” Mrs. Errazuriz and her son were taken to the jail by the shortest road, while Miss Errazuriz went to Mrs. de Saulles’ home in Roslyn, L. 1., where the family will reside for the pres- ent. The jall was reached at 5:30 o’clock, and the mother lost no time in complying with the few prison for- malities and hurrying to her daugh- ter. As she entered the building she noted with pleasure and pointed out four white doves settled on the coop- ing over the window of Mrs. Saulles’ cell. No one intruded upon mother and daughter. Just what was said those outside do not know, but for some minutes there were sounds of sobbing. was de | daughter launched into a bistory of her troubles. Mrs. de Saulles told her mother of her husband's alleged infidelities, of his alleged threat to take little “Jack™ from her and of the many cruelties he inflicted upon her. For two and one-half hours mother, son and daughter conferred. JEWISH PRAYER BOOKS OUT.
