Washington, Sept. 28. More than 160 leaders of the
Industrial Workers of the World engaged in the alleged nation-wide
conspiracy to hamper the government in carrying on
r.he war have been indicted by the federal grand jury at
Chicago.
CHARGE CONSPIRACY. V
Indictments will be handed in to the
court probably late today. Between
160 and 170 persons, resident in al
most every section of the country, are
named in the indictments.
Seditious conspiracy the crime
nearest to treason within the defini
tion of the criminal code is charged.
This offense is punishable by six
year's imprisonment or $5,000 fine,
or both.
Indictments are understood to be
based upon revelations brought to
light in the recent country-wide sei
zure by federal authorities of docu
ments and correspondence of the In
dustrial Workers of the World in ap
proximately fifty towns and cities.
These documents are understood to
have revealed the existence of a con
spiracy, the most far-reaching in its
scope of any yet unearthed, to em
barrass the government in the prose
cution of the war by resistance to the
draft law, by fomenting labor dis
turbances, by burning crops and for
ests and in numerous other ways.
A compartively small coterie of men
is understood to have directed the en
tire movement.
Officials here feel that in many in
stances the alleged ringleaders of
these anti-war activities are virtually
guilty of treason, but because of the
.narrowed definition of treason in the
'criminal code and in numerous court
decisions it was thought best to ask
the grand jury qto find indictments on
the broader charge of seditious con
spiracy. William C. Fitts, the assistant attor
ney general, under whose direction
the nation-wide raid of September 5
was carried out, without a hitch, is in
Chicago today in personal charge of
developments.
Secrecy Maintained.
Chicago, Sept. 28. Federal officials
in Chicago today continued their
policy of absolute silena on the ac
tivities of the grand jury which has
been investigating Industrial Work
ers of the World and kindred organi
zations. There was no .hint of when
indictments would be returned in
court or whether they might not be
presented in chambers with an ac
companying secrecy which would pre
vent publication of names of persons
indicted until after arrests had been
made.
There has been intense activity in
the federal building here for two
weeks, both preceding and following
the spectacular nation-wide raids on
Industrial Workers of the World
quarters.
Ton of Evidence.
The evidence laid before the grand
jury was of such volume as actually
to weigh a ton or more and is said
to show a nation-wide conspiracy to

LEADERS AFTER
GR ANDJURY ACTS
Indictments Returned at Chi
cago and Haywood Among
the First of More Than
Score to Be Taken In.
Judge Manoah B. Reese, judge of
the supreme court of Nebraska, died
at a Lincoln hospital yesterday at
the age of 78 years. He has been ail
ing all summer, most of that time be
ing spent in a hospital, and was not
able to rally because of his age.
Judge Reese was born in Macoupin
county, Illinois, in 18J9. He received
a common school education and then
attended a seminary for two years.
j (By Aimorinted Press.)
Chicago, Sept. 28. Formal return
of a blanket indictment charging a nation-wide
conspiracy to hamper the
government during the war was made
todaf in the United States district
court here against 166 leaders of the
Industrial Workers of the World.
Arrests speedily followed. Almost
before the court proceedings had
reached the stage of the discharge of
the jury, deputy marshals were on
their way to the local Industrial
Workers of the World headquarters
in automobiles donated and driven by
women and quickly returned to the
federal building with prispners.
In the first hour 35 men were haled
into the office and were questioned by
men of the bureau. Among the first
to be taken in custody was William
D. Haywood, secretary of the national
organization of the Industrial Work
ers of the World.
Seditious Conspiracy.
An explanatory statement by the
government attorneys who have di
rected the investigation of the sedici
ous conspiracy, the crime of which
the men named in the indictments are
accused said:
"The prosecutions are under sec
tions 6, 19 and 37 of the criminal code
and under the espionage act. Only
leaders in conspiracies or those per
sonally culpable in connection with
the perpetration of crimes against the
United States are Included as de
fendants found. i
I. W. W. a Degenerate.
Commenting on the fact that the
indictment was aimed at one but I.
W. W. members, Judge Fitts gave
this definition of the I. W. W.:
"The I. W. W. differs from social
ists and from every form of legitimate
labor organization," he said. "The I.
W. W. is a degenerate; its doctrine is
treachery, built on the teaching of the
employment of secret and covert de
structive methods intended to wreck
the employer and through destruction
of production and transportation dis
able society and the government it
self. The object at this time being to
render the enemy stronger and our
dear country weak in the resistance
of that strength."
Called for Trial.
When all of the indicted men have
been arrested the cases will be called
for trial here and as rapidly as the
arrests are made the prisoners will be
brought beiore the federal authorities
here. The espionage act under which
the indictments were found permit
ting that pioceedure.
After he had been questioned hy
Hinton C. Clabaugh of the depart
ment of justice, William D. Haywood,
general secretary and treasurer of the
I. W. W., was held in default, bail
being fixed at $2'5,000.

HOUSE RESULT OF

Alabaman and Norton Mix in
Row Over Investigation of

Disloyalty.
Washington, Sept. 28. The row in
the house over Representative Hcflin's
charges culminated today in a fight
between Heflin and Representative
Norton, his chief critic. Friends soon
separated them.
The climax came at the end of a
gusty session of the house, which did
not approve the action of the rules
committee in refusing to begin inves

tain congressmen acted suspiciously
about the time Count von Bernstorff
was asking his government to author

a
Kellyville, Ok!., Sept. 28. Bodies of
(lly Associated Pre.)
Efforts to break into the new
ground won by the British in the re
newal of the Flanders offensive on
Wednesday are bcins continued by
the Germans. Failing to shake the
Rriti.sh line elsewhere they tried it out
last night at Zonncbekc, where the
British have pushed far along the
road to Roulers. The British artillery,
machine gun and rifle fire was too
much for them, however, and the at
tack was broken up.
Zonncbekc is an important point
for the British and their previous ef
forts to reach and maintain a hold on
it had been desperately resisted by the
Germans. Their present position in
the village places them within a half
dozen miles of the important north
and south railway line connecting
Lille with Ostend, on the coast, the
cutting of which or its domination at
even medium range artillery fire
would seriously handicap the Ger
mans in their Flanders operations.
Strongholds Taken.
In the Tower Hamlets and Polygon
wood regions, toward the British
right flank, the clearing up process
which followed Wednesday's battle
was carried out further last night and
the Germans were driven from iso
lated positions to which strong par
ties of them were clinging.
There has been little other mili
tary activity of a nature to call for
mention in the official statements ex
cept in the Argonne region, on the
French front. The Germans of the
crown prince's forces made an at-
I tempt last night to break into the
French lines in this sector, attacking
three times. These assaults were all
repulsed, the Germans sustaining
heavy losses, says today's Paris war
office reports.
On the Caucasus front the Russians
are showing renewed aggressiveness.
In engagements with the Kurds de
tachments of these hostile forces have
for a moment and then fell over with
Norton on top. Immediately the house
was in an uproar. Speaker Clark bang
ed for order, while members leaped
over seats and down aisles to reach
the struggling men. The sergeant-at-arms,
hurriedly grasping the mace, his
badge of authority, ran toward the
combatants. Disordc reigned in the
galleries, where people rose from their
seats and rushed to the rail to see into
the pit of the house.
Friends separated the men without
difficulty and led them to the cloak
rooms. The only marks of combat
showed on Norton's white collar and
Hcflin's usually immaculate white
shirt front.
Order jvas restored as quickly as
it had been disturbed.
Committee Refuses to Act.
After a heated session today, the
house rules committee refused to act
on resolutions proposing congres
sional investigatiin of Representative
Heflin's charges that a number of
members of congress "had acted sus
piciously" about the time Count von
Bernstorff asked his government for
authority to spend $50,000 to influence

Several times during the last two
weeks, while he was hovering be

Involved in Spy
Plot Against U.S,
,
San Francisco, Sept. 28. Five
members of the United States aviation
corps, ail army recruiting officer and
two navy ensigns were said today by
federal officials to be involved in a
spy plot, alleged to have been headed
by Lieutenant Erwin Frederich
Schneider of the German navy and
Theodore Kasinger, department store
employe, both of whom were taken
into custody here recently. .
This disclosure came as the result
of an order from the Department of
Justice providing for the immediate
removal of Schneider and Kasinger
from the county jail to an internment
camp on Angel island, which contains
Franz Bopp, former GTrman consul
general here, and his aide, Baron E.
H. von Schack, former vice consul.
The authorities refused to divulge
the nature of the alleged participation
of the army and navy officers in the
plot. They said all information on
the case had been sent to San Diego
and Los Angeles, where it was under
stood the conspiracy centered.
At the time Schneider and Kasinger
were taken i ito custody federal agents
asserted the two had associated with
four Austrian army officers subse
quently detained at Laredo, Tex., and
who, it wali believed, were planning to
embark from Mexico for Germany or
Austria. It was said they wre sus
pected of having secured military in
formation. Refuse to Send Telegrams

Irigoven Won't Break Off
Relations With Germany
Buenos A-rcs, Sept. 28. President
Irigoycn is preparing a message in
reply to the request made by congress
that diplomatic relations between Ar

president, it is understood, contends
that it is impossible to break off re

San Francisco, Sept. 28. United
States army authorities here issued a
declaration today pointing out that
"any de'ay or obstruction in the ship
building program is one which favors
our enemy,' the German nation, and
delays and obstructs the termination
of the war. ' Every day of the strike

Red Oak, la., Sept. 28. (Special
Telegram.) Former State Senator F.
F. Jones of Villisca made the follow
ing statement today, after the dis
agreement of the jury in the Kelly
case:
"We have kept out of this affair,
and the only time we were at the trial
was on the day when my son, Albert,
and his wife were witnesses, and I
did not go to the court room that
day. I belicye the state made a good
case. I believed that Kelly should
have h fair trial and I also believed
that the state should have had the op
portunity to present its case, but the
activities of Wilkerson by holding
meetings around the country pre
vented what I believe a fair disposi
tin of the case."
"Do you think Kelly is guilty of the
Villisca ax murders, senator?" was
asked.
"All I care to say is that the state
made a strong case against him," was
the reply.
Senator Jones took occasion to
compliment The Bee on its fair man
ner of presenting news of the trial to
the people of Montgomery county and
Iowa.
Senator Jones and his son, Albert,
have been the quarry of Detective
Wilkerson for several years.

U. S. Attorney Quits
Office to Try Oil Cases
Washington, Sept. 18. United
Stales Attorney Schoonover at Los
Angeles has resigned1, effective to
morrow, to take up special work' for
the government in connection with
the pending case against the South
ern Pacific company to recover val
uable oil lands in southern California.
Mr. Schoonover's resignation to
do this work is part of a program of a
reorganization necessitated by the
death recently of United States At
torney Justice at San Francisco, who
was engaged in directing the prosecution.
"Juror Brown was the only man
who voted to convict Kelly. Juror
Brown is a chum of F. F. Jones and
represents the Jones faction in Mont
gomery county. During the trial of
this case Jones had a banquet for Attorney-General
Havner in Villisca and
at that time, we understand, Havner
told the guests that one man on the
jury would block a verdict of acquittal
and he would make the people of
Montgomery county convict Kelly or
he would bankrupt the county in
numerous trials."
TALKS HAVNER DISBARMENT.
This is the sensational statement
made by A. L. Sutton of Omaha,
when told by s. reporter for The Bee
that the jury in the trial of Rev. Lyn
G. J. Kelly for the murder of eight
persons in Villisca. had disagreed and
had been discharged. Mr. Sutton is
one of the attorneys for Kelly.
"I think the lawyers of Iowa ought
to start proceedings to have Havner
disbarred for his conduct in secur'ng
the confession of an insane mn," Mr.
Sutton further declared. "We have
positive proof that F. F. Jones and
Attorney Genera! Havner have had
various meetings in Des Moines in
furthering their joint fight against
Kelly.
SHIELDING JONES FAMILY.
"The prosecution of Kelly is only a
movement to shield the Jones family.
I stood up in open court at the be
ginning of the trial and objected and
protested against Brown being on the
jury because I knew him to be the
chum pi Jones. The outcome of the
trial proves I was right. Eleven men
voted 'not guilty' on every ballot.
"The verdict amounts to a complete
vindication of Kelly. And under the
circumstances I have mentioned I do
not believe Attorney General Havner
will have the nerve to put Kelly on
trial again."
By EDWARD BLACK.
(Staff Correnpontlent for Tlie Bee.)
Jury Fails to Agree.
Red Oak, la., Sept. 28. (Speciat
Telegram.) After the disagreement
and discharge of, the Kelly jury Mont
gomery county exclaims: "What
next?"
The jury went out at 5:05 Wednes
day afternoon and at 1:30 this after
noon Judge Boies summoned the
twelve good talesmen and true Into
court and inscribed upon the court
records a few words, which legally
discharged the jurors.
At 8:30 o'clock this morning the
jury appeared before the judge and
Foreman Henry Bruce announced:
"We ave a jury we cannot do any
thing with. They won't follow in
structions or anything else."
The court thereupon told them to
retire and try again. At 11:30 the
jurors were again brought in for fur
ther instructions, which amounted to
a request that they endeavor to
reach a verdict. After dinner the
foreman rapped on the door of the
jury room and announced the case
was ropeless. Kelly was brought into
court with Attorney Hysham and
within a few minutes it was all over.
Indictment to Stand.
Disagreement of the jury left Kelly
in the position he was before the trial
started. His guilt or innocence of
the Villisca av murder has not been
established, and, according to state
ments of Attorney General Havner.
the indictment of the grand jury will
not be dismissed, which, infcrentially,
at least, means another trial will be
held.
The prisoner was remanded by
court to jail at Logan, Harrison
county, according to order of Judge
Woodruff last May. Kelly's attorneys,
however, are making efforts to have
Woodruff countemand his order by
authorizing retention of the little
minister at Red Ok.
' What ae they going to do with
me now?" asked Kelly of Attorney
Hysham.
"I suppose, Kelly, it means an
otrhcr trial," replied Hysham.
Kelly looked pleadingly toward his
wife and answered, "I don't believe
