4-i-A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 4, 1917. RELEASE PASTOR ; HELD ON CHARGE OF DISLOYALTY Rev. William Breitenbach, Chi r cago; Minister Accused of Pro-German Utterances, I ' Convinces Authorities. Rev. William Breitenbach, pastor of St Peter's Evangelical church, 130 Avenue L, Chicago, was released by Assistant United States Attorney Saxton after a hearing Saturday morning on a charge of making dis loyal utterances. The minister was arrested at the Union 'station here Friday night as he was boarding a train for Chicago. The arrest followed an argument which he had with three men on a train coming fron. Chadron to Omaha Thursday night. One of the men became so excited that he tele graphed to Marshall Flynn here, "Meet Union Pacific train arriving Omaha 7:30 Friday morning without fail." The marshal received the telegram at midnight. He called up Deputy Marshal Grant Yates and ordered him to meet the train. Yates was there, but by the time the three men had found him the minister had gone upon his ,way, ignorant of the fact that he was wanted. The three men stayed in Omaha all day and accompanied the deputy marshal to the hotels in an attempt to find the. minister. They sjhad learned that he would leave for Chi cago Friday morning, They were at the station with Yates and there found Rev. Mr. Breitenbach. He was arrested and placed in the county jail, where, he remained until Saturday morning. "I am a completely loyal citizen of this country," lie said to the United State s attorney. "But when I heard these three men discussing the atroci ties 'of the German" soldiers I joined ht and told them that no doubt some soldiers cltist in all armies who com mit" acts of atrocity just as there are certain low persons in civil life who commit such acts. But it is unjust to tondemn whole armies for the actl of a few individuals." Omaha Firm Quits Making . J ' Transparent Soaps The war has: affected the manufac ture of transparent soaps in Omaha.
