tho documents aaked for until li-y had
been ordered In evidence by the com
mittee. Ho afterward advised nr not
to surrender thera. Mr. Stanchfleld here
broke In with a suggestion that tem
porarily cleared the atmosphere after
the following colloquy:
Mr. Stanchfleld "Let me make a sug
gestion. 8uppoe we come to an un
demanding and take these books. You
select a representative and we will take
a representative and go through them
and mark what we want In evidence and
you can put In the balance.
Mr. Stedman I think we ought to
have a ruling on the proposition aa It

In the world has existed, from the
United States Senate or the House. In
vestigating either a etock yard combina
tion, a banking or a railroad comhinf.

said bring in all your books from the
cashier's accounts and the board of
directors' records down to a bill of lad
ing, and then we will take down and
mark them and put them In a separate
room and pick out ultimately that which
we wish to use. There Is no precedent
of that kind.
Mr. Sutherland We are willing to
liave the sergeant at arms have them In
his physical possession.
Mr. Ktedman After It Is offered In
evidence he is entitled to it If you
think there la danger of loss. '
lllllqalt AsTees to Plan.
Mr. Illllqult I may suggest, however,
Jn eply to Mr. Stancbfleld's suggestion
that we are perfectly willing to folfow
this procedure: Mark whatever you
please for Identification, return the prop
erty to its owners, but we will arrange
sladly for a conference with counsel on
the other side to go over the documents
tnd mark out such portions as are
wanted in evidence.
Mr, Sutherland I am willing to come
to any agreement that will enable us to
cave time and saw wood here.
This agreement between' counsel came
lifter Assemblymen Evans of the Bronx
and Bloch of New York, both Demo
crats, had dissented from Chairman
?Jartln's nil ling that documents brought
before the committee by subpoena must
remain In the committee's custody, al
though not actually offered In evidence.
Tho documents produced by Mrs.
Stem, and which she said were all that
were in her possession, were two vol
umes covering the official records and
resolutions of the Bronx local from its
foundation, and what purported to be
a manifesto of the Socialist party
adopted at the Chicago convention In
August. 1915.
Mr. Illllqult objected to the witness's
classification of the latter document as
a manifesto, saying that she was In
competent to testify to that The wit
ness replied that It lad been sent to her
ns executive secretary of the Bronx
local and that it was distributed as a
copy of the Chicago manifesto.
The next witness was Ezra L. Kauft
man, who described Iilm-clf as a special
police officer attached to the Rochester
police department. Mr. Stanchfleld
handed him a small pamphlet, bound
in red, and which later proved to bo a
Jewish booklet entitled "The Dictator
ship of the Proletariat," by Hall Rogoff,
published by the Jewish Socialist Fed
eration of 175 East Broadway, New
York city.
In reply to Mr. Stanchfleld Mr. Kauff
man said he obtained tho book from
one Samuel Miller, a building superin
tendent of Rochester who, according to
the witness, was also the local literary
agenC for the right wing branch of the
Socialist party. Kauffman bought the
pamphlet, he said, for 10 cents.
The Introduction of Miller's name and
tho request that the witness relate his
conversation with mm at the time of
the purchase of the book evoked stren
uous opposition from Mr. Hillquit, and
the subsequent announcement that where
such testimony Is asked for he and his
associates would take no part in the
proceedings.
So Objection by HUIquif.
Mr Hillquit objected to the' introduc
11.. ' thla lfn'n nt t.,lmmlw nn
ground that there had been nothing ad -
duced to show who Miller was or to
fthow that he or the book in question ever
had any connection with the case under
investigation. He was supported in his
objection by Mr. Stedman.
Mr. Stanchfleld reminded opposing
counsel thkt in the committee's state
ment of the case against the Socialists
it was charged that the five Assembly
men were parties to a conspiracy to sub
vert (he law and overturn the Govern
ment by force. He said that it was his
intention to make clear the connecting
link. The book. Mr. Stanchfleld said,
was fn the Hebrew language and he pro
posed after Introducing it to produce
translations.
This led to a long and somewhat acri
monious debate between Stanchfleld and
Mr. Stedman, which Anally was Inter
rupted by Chairman Martin, who asked
Mr, Illllqult;
"Supposing they prove certain decla
rations and facta by this witness, or by
other witnesses. In translating that doc
ument and fall to connect It up, how are
you harmed?"
"How are we harmed?" rstorted Mr.
Illllqult "Assuming that this witness
is now allowed to state that Mr. Miller,
who Is to us unknown, has made the
xcost aggravating statements against
atese five defendants, assuming that
goes on the record: assuming that
poisons your minds and th minds of
our prospective Judges, and the minds
of the public generally; assuming that
Is done, and what connection does Mil
ler have with any of the defendants.

"Mr. Chairman. I do not Has to In

three days, and at five of these six ses
sions we havo been reminded by counsel
for the five Assemblymen that we prom

Mr. Hillquit endeavored to show in
his cross-examination that the work
covered both sides of the argument for
a proletariat dictatorship, but that the
excerpts Mr. Robinson selected were
from the chapter dealing with the de
fenders of the doctrine and not from a
chapter dealing with the views of op
ponents. Many characteristic excerpts
from this work were published during
the Lusk committee's Investigation and
those brought out to-day differed In no
material way from those.
Prepares for the Revolution.
A fair sample of some of the writings
Is contained In 1 the following para
graphs; The Socialist movement rouses the
worklngmen to revolution. It preaches
to them class struggle, awakens with
in them class consciousness, makes
all necessary preparations for a so
cialist order. 'When society Is ready
for h overturn It will make the
revolution.
Tho dictatorship will be employed
for one thing, to eliminate capitalism
by force, take away by force the cap
ital from private owners and trans
fer It to the ownership of the com
munitythe Industries will then be
managed by the worklngmen through
their Soviets.
Socialists seek to enter into the
Government for two reasons: first,
to be nearer the doors of the cham
bers where dictators sit, and second.
,to hinder the dictatorial work In any
way possible. Sitting In Parliament
or in Congress, being Insldo of the
Government ranks, affords Socialists
an opportunity to find out the plans,
the strategy of the State. And
knowing this, they may carry out
their propaganda the better.
The Socialist must understand that
Socialism Is not a reform movement
He must know that Socialism Is a
revolutionary world perspective, and
that the Socialist movement Is a
revolutionary movement
The great task of the Socialist
movement is to create an army in the
country which would be ready to
make the Socialist revolution when
the suitable moment arrives.

Claessens on Revolution.
Some excerpts from the Claesscns's
speech, which was read into uie recoro,

Buckle was the one historian who pointed
out that when the printing presses came
tho great mass of the people became

philosophy of Buckle.

At this DOlnt In his discourse Claes-
sens apparently was interrupted by the
entry of "Comrade" SJuorleva, secre
tary of the Bolshevik "embassy," who
Is at present seeking sanctuary, irom
the Lusk Committee with L. C. A. K.
Martens in Washington. After welcom
ing Nuorteva, Ciaessens continued In a
kng Harangue to the effect' that both
Renubllcans and Democrats hart con
spired to steal the elections of two days
before from the tjocislist canaiuaies.
He said that guerrillas had been sent
into the various Assembly districts l
where the Socialists had candidates and!
that wholesale irregularities had been
committed, Socialist ballots destroyed
With Impunity and Socialist voters in
timidated. Then he added:
"I tell ou. my friends, if we take
this situation aa it stands now and lay
down, then we are the dirtiest cowards
on the earth. .
"Wo are going to fljht I do not hope
much from the courts, understand, be

of them are receivers of stolen goods,
and you can Imagine you can Imagine
how much Justice you get from this

"I know tome people said yesterday,
and I know some of you feel, 'to hell

with the whole form of Go-.errnjnt If
the government rests upon thievery and
fraud then you have no government.
You might Just as wll refer to this
nation as the United States of Thlevca.'
But I am not one of tfiose to become
pessimistic
"If there was not a fact that a change
was coming we would ray: To hell
with the whole business.' But we are

others, and I will go myself Into the
bargain, and we will tell them some
thing. "But we won't waste as much time
in the Assembly, comrades, talking to
that bunch that sit there with stolen
property, but we will use our position
with the Assembly and reach the Hei.Vy
Dubs and speak to them, and I can
assure you, comrades, we won't steep
one night when we are in Albany, but
every night we will bo speaking in Troy
and Schenectady and Amsterdam,
everywhere around there, arousing the
workers wherever we possibly can."
Mr. Illllqult surprised every one at the
opening of the session by declaring his
side was prepared to make several ad
missions on tho charge.
Stanchfleld to Get Proofs.
"If counsel agree I see no objection,"
said Chairman Martin, but Mr. Stanch
fleM did object strongly, declaring: "Wc
propose to prove the case in our own
way, We are quite prepared to make all
proof .that we regard as material and
necessary in the matter, an-l it is quite
out of order for counsel to tender ad
missions as long aa they are not asked
for."
Mr. Illllqult said his Intention was to
save probably one-half of thd" commit
tee's time, but Mr. Stanchfleld took a dif
ferent view, declaring such action would
narrow tho scopo of the evidence that
could be presented. Chairman Martin
ruled with Mr. Stanchfleld.
Julius Gerber, executive secretary of
the N'w York county organisation of the
Socialist party, was the first witness..
He produced copies of tha constitution
of tho Socialist party of America and of
New York State and bylaws of the New
YOrk local. He admitted he had been a
member of the organization since Its
formation in 1899, and for nine years
before that was affiliated with the So
cialist Labor narty.
Mr. Stanchfleld read Into the records
various sections of these constitutions
and bylaws. Including a part of the na
tional constitution, providing that any
member of the Socialist party support
ing a member of another party tor puD
11c office was guilty of "party treason"
and should be expelled.
Another section provided that mem
bers of the Socialist party In a legisla
tive body "shall vote as a unit;" that
any member voting for nn appropriation
for war, military or naval purposes shall
be excelled from the party.
Mr, Stanchfleld read a section pro
viding that any person over IS years of
age, whether a citizen or not, could be
a member of the Socialist party upon
payment of dues.
Expulsion Threat Looms.
One section of the State organiza
tion's constitution provides for exped-
Inz from the Socialist party a member
who. elected to publio office, fails to
"abide and carry out such Instructions
as he may have received from the dues
paying party organization, or as pre
scribed In the State or national consti
tutions."
Another section provides that "all
candidates or appointees to public office
selected by the dues paying member
ship of the Socialist party of the State
of New York, or any of its subdivisions.

tho executive committee a signed resig

nominated and shall aseont In writing
to Its being Med with the proper author
ities If, In case of election, he proves

In his cross-examination of Mr. uer
ber Mr. Illllqult showed that the Eocial
lta will contend they never signed res
ignations as lbs constitution requires.
"As executive secretary of the New
York county organisation hava you ever
received from any candidate nominated
for office In the Socialist party resigna
tion In advancer asked Mr. Illllqult.
"Never," roplled Mr. Gerber eror'Mr.

Martin sustained the obje . and
ordered the reiponse stricken .'om tho
record,
"I re-rpectfully maintain. Mr. Chair

question I asked of tho witness Is not

propose to do Is to show by this witness.

Slate ronstltutlon lias oeen a aeaa icuer
since its Inception and of these five men
neither has ever filed such a reilgna-

Mr. Martin did not change his ruling.
There were further clashes when Mr.
Hillquit attempted to put questions In
dicating that the Socialist party was
educational a.i well as political and al
ways obeyed the direct primary law,
notwithstanding any party rule. Mr.
Etanchfleld's objection to thla lino of
questioning was alto sustained.
Protest Acalnst "ImpUcatlonc."
The Socialist attorney protested
against "Implications being allowed to
go unquestioned.
"Until we ar,e charged with being a
secret organization manipulating our
representatives as puppets," he said, "we
warn 10 snow tuav we out iuo i. ui
the fetate.
In examining Mr. Gerber counsel for
the committee ascertained that he was
secretary of tho membership corpora
tion that publishes the Call, Socialist
newspaper, and Mr, Gerber admitted
that this was considered the official
Socialist organ. On cross-examination
Mr. Hillquit endeavored to show the
committee that the Socialist party as a
party liad nothing to do with he opera
tion of the Call and that although Mr.
Gerber happened to be secretary of the
publishing company he did not have
that office because he was executive sec
retary of the Socialist organization of
New York. He was elected secretary by
the stockholders. It was shown.
Mn winding up his talk about the Call
Mr. Illllqult asked :
"But the Socialist party has no power
over Th Cam"
"It may have something to do with
the paper by suggestion, but It haa no
power," said Mr. Gerber.
Questioning Mr. Gerber aa to past
Socialist practices Mr. Illllqult finally
asked him about the Socialist pro
gramme In Russia.
"I object to bringing In practices of
the Socialists in foreign countries," said
Mr. Stanchfleld. ''We are nut inter
ested In them."
Mr. Illllqult instantly seized upon this.
H said that If Apposing counsel would
agree not to present any evidence rela
tive to the Socialists abroad he would
not ask anything further about them.
Mr. Stanchfleld. thought by the crowded
chamber to have been caught "on the
end of a limb," passed off the situation
by eayins he meant he wasn't concerned
"Just now" with foulgn Socialist doings.
Francis M. Hugo), Secretary of State,
was sworn to produce the oath book,
which the five Socialists signed in tak
ing their oaths as Assemblymen.
Mr. Hugo swore that he administered
the oaths, and copleo of each one of
the five was put in as evidence.
At the suggestion 9! Mr. Stanchfleld
an adjournment was taken until Tues
day morning. .
Attorney-General Newton felt to-night
that the transcript of the Ciaessens
speech would go far to prove the Inner
workings of the Socialist mind and con
vince the public of their unfitness to sit
as inemoers 01 ine siaie ucsisiaiure. 11
will be the work of the committee's
counsel to prove that Claessens's senti
