JOHNSON FIGHTS
ESPIONAGE BILL
Assistant Attorney General
Points to Danger of German
Propaganda and Urges
Passage.
WASHINGTON, April 24. Elimlna-
1 tion by conferees on the espionage bill
I Of an amendment providing that nolh
I ing in the measure should be con
strued to limit libert of speech where
the motives were good or justifiable,
precipitated a fight led by Senator J
Johnson of California when the confer- !
ence report was called up today In the
senate. After a brief debate the re
port went over until tomorrow.
Senator Johnson declared the
amendment was identical with the
wording of the constitution.
Senator Overman of North Carolina,
defending the conferee's action read a
letter from Assistant Attorney-General
Lord O'Brien which declared the
amendment If retained would hinder
the prosecution of German propagan
dists Mr. O'Brien pointed out there
was far more danger from German
propaganda than from any outspoken i
abuse and urged that every assistance
be given by congress in aiding the de
partment of Justice to stop it. Accept
ance of the conference report was
urged by Senator Fall of New Mex
! ico. who replied to arpruments that the
measure without the amendment might
result in innocent persons being con
victed by saying:
"If necessary to save the country it
rs better that ten innocent men sacri
fice their blood than the country it
self sufTer."
In referring to Mr. O'Brien's state
ment that religious pacifism, quoting
the Bible, is one form of propaganda.
Senator Johnson said;
"if the Bible be quoted improperly
I suppose we'd prohibit it, In this time
of hysteria,"
The California senator said war did
not excuse violation of the people's
fundamental rights and that the bill!
proposed "war upon American peo

FREAK GAMES OF

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. April 22. j
Freak games during the second week
in which batsmen tore loose against
the pitchers and scored runs mounting
into two figures served to increase i
the batting average of many of the i
players In the Pacific Coast league and

now as there are 300 per cent batters
in mid-season
It is the usual thing for the bats
man to run riot during the earlier part
of the season for it is not until the
warmer weather sets in that the pitch
ers begin to get properly worked up 1
and get into their stride. With the I
moundsmen gradually limbering up
and getting the ball under control as j
the result of practice, the averages of
the batsmen will suffer corresponding
ly. That there are exceptions to this
however, was demonstrated last sea

finished the teason at the top of the
Pacific Coast batting lists maintained
a consistent average practically
throughout the season. Fitzgerald
started out with a percentage of 300

with less than a dozen points below
this figure.

WASHINGTON, April 24 After an
aftermath of the senate's recent dis

in the San Francisco bomb plot, a tele
gram from Frank H. Dunne, judge of
the San Francisco superior court in
which another of the defendants was
tried, was received today by Senator
Poindexter of Washington and read to
the senate praising the Washington
senator's defense of the fairness of
Mooney's trial.
Judge Dunne criticized as bias the
federal labor commission's report of
the Mooney case declaring that Pro

retary Wilson s assistant on the com
mittee, had been not properly investl
gated the facts. "Don't let the report
of Frankfurter tool you." Judge
Dunne's telegram said. "It was made
with false reasoning, without investi

rights of California."

GEORGE CREEL ON !
WITNESS STAND
Testifies at Trial of Max East
man, Editor of the
Masses.
NEW YORK, April 24. George
Creel, chairman of the committee on
public information, took the witness
stand today in the trial of Max Hast
man. e(tlor of the Masses, and others
connected with the publication who
are accused of obstructing the draft
law.
Creel Refutes Roger's Defendants.
Testifying regarding statements
made by one of the defendants, C.
Merrill Rogers, the paper's business
manager. Creel controverted Rogers'
assertions that during a conversation
between the two. Creel had approved
the writings contained in the issue of I
June, 1917.
Rogers had gone to Washington a
few days ago, the defendant testified.1
to submit tho contents of the maga
sine to Creel, then at the head of the!
censorship board, and Creel had found
nothing objectionable.
Creel testified he told Rogers there
was no law which gave him the au
thority to pass on the contents but
that it vas for the department of jus
tice to determine whether its charac
ter was objectionable. Creel swore he
told Rogers that the whole tone of the
magazine was not in accordance with
the spirit of the law, in his opinion.
Creel conceded that Rogers had
manifested a desire on the part of
th editors to make their publication
thoroughly acceptable to the government.
Some months before America en
tered the war. Creel said, he himself
had contributed an article to The j
Masses. Asked whether he had re
ceived the impression from Rogers
that the paper was pursuing an antl
conscription policy, Creel said Rogers
indicated no such attitude Because
of his acquaintance with Max East
man, former editor of The Masses,
and one of the defendants and because
he held him and the other editors in
high respect, Creel continued, he had
been anxious to have them assume a
proper attitude toward America's war
i ogram.
The visit of Rogers to Creel, the
former declared in his recent testi
mony, was made at the suggestion of
Mrs. J. Sergeant Cram, who was anx
ious that an advertisement she had
submitted on behalf of "The World
Patriots," should receive the govern
ment's approval before It should ap-
pear in The Masses, This advertise
ment Included a pledge for applicants
to sign, reading: "I will not kill nor
help to kill ray fellow man." Creel,
testifying on this point, said he told
Rogers that he believed the advertlse
menl "epitomized treason," but then I
he had not the authority to forbid its
publication.
Before Rogers left Washington,
Creel said, the defendant gave him to
understand that The Masses' policy
would be changed.
"I told Rogers,'" Creel concluded
"that it was the duty of every pub
lication to accept the war as a fact to
fight fair if it must fight and not try
to break the purpose of America by
opposing its will "
As the witness passed the table where
the defendants were sitting Max East
man rose and shook hands with Creel
and the two walked to the door,
where they talked for a few minutrs
before Creel departed.
