SOCIALISTS M .
MEETING SCORE'
RULE OFWILSON
Morris Hillquit, Temporary
Chairman, Declares Presi
dent Revived Medieval H
Institutions. v
New York, May 8. An attack on
the administration of President Wil
son and a prediction that the so
cialist party would poll more tlian
2,000,000 votes in the presidential
campaign were made today by Mor
ris Hillquit, temporary chairman of
the socialist national convention, at
its opening session here today. He
said that the party would survive
the concerted attack "unparalleled in
ferociousness and lawlessness," made
on it in the last year by "all" the
powers of darkness and oppression
in the country."
He declared that the last three
years hail furnished thi most strik
ing and abhorenf proof of t' e fallacy
of the "good man" theory in poli
tics. Wilson Destroys Faith.
"If there remained any large sec
tions of workers who put their, trust
in old party messiah," he said.
"Woodrow Wilson must have ef
fectively destroyed their naive faith.
For be it remembered that in 1916
Woodrow Wilson ran as a radical.
"He promised socialism through
the short cut of the democratic
party and thousands of radicals
throughout . the country voted for
him rather than throw away their
votes on the hopeless candidates of
the socialist party.
"One-half of the normal support
ers of the socialist party ticket cast
their votes for him. Woodrow Wil
son was elected over Charles E.
Hughes by the votes of socialists.
In California alone the defection in
the normal socialist vote determined
his victory in the presidential con
test Dissipates Fine Theory.
"Mr. Wilson's administration in
the last three years has furnished the
most striking and abhorrent proof
of the fallacy of the 'good man
theory in politics.
"Wilson, the pacifist, drew us into
the world's most frightful war. Wil
son, the anti-militarist, imposed con
scription upon the country in war,
and urged universal military train
ing, a large standing army and a
huge navy in peace. Wilson, the
democrat, arrogated to himself au
tocratic power grossly inconsistent
with a republican form of govern
ment. Wilson, the liberal, revived
the medieval institutions of the in
quisition of speech, thought and
conscience.
Scores Atavistic Types.
"His administration suppressed
radical publications, raided homes
and public meetings of its political
opponents, destroyed their property
and assaulted their persons. Wilson,
the 'apostle of the New Freedom,'
infested the country with stool
pigeons and spies and filled the jaijs
with political prisoners. Wilson, the
champion of labor, restored invol
untary servitude in the mines and on
the railroads, and answered the
wage demands of the workers by
jailing their leaders.
"Wilson, the idealist and humani
tarian, has inaugurated a reign of
intellectual obscurantism, moral ter
rorism and political reaction, the
like of which this country has never
known before. The morbid national
psychology which he has helped to
create has produced such atavistic
political types as Palmer, Burleson,
Sweet and Lusk. It has advanced to
places of honor political mounte
banks like Ole Hanson, but has put
into prison stripes the noblest and
truest types of American manhood,
persons like Eugene V. Debs and
many of his less conspicuous fellow
prisoners. The pitiful collapse of
Wilspn's liberalism was nothing ac
cidental.

of

Bturder was in

The police are
evidence that the
stigated by a band of Cleveland
gamblers, friends of "Nicky" and
"Nick." who ordcr J the assassins to
decoy young Binkowitz to his death
and rob him of the securities when
he refused to turn the entire bundle
of securities over to them for $J,000.
The murder was planned in the tem
porary apartment of a Cleveland
gambler in the While Light dis
trict in this city. The identity of
the gambler as well as the assissinS
is know"n, but the police lack one
connecting link to fasten the crime
on them, it is understood.
The $50,000 worth of Binkowitz
securities were found in . Cleveland
brokerage house and were recov
ered. They were placed there as col-H
lateral by a Cleveland gambler who,
the police declare, was seen in this
city on the day yoong Binkowitz is
known to have been slain and who
hurriedly left that evening for Cleve
land. That was about two months
before "Nicky" and "Nick; began
their relation with "Dave" Sulli
van, the broker, in the disposal of
stolen securities, and the police are
of the opinion that up to that time
the Cleveland gang of gamblers was
disposing of the stolen securities
which fell into the hands of the
master crooks.
Arnstein Former Crook,
The remarkable thing about the
whole thing is that while "Nicky"
Arnstein has been declared by the
police of this city as the "master
mind" in the thefts, confidence men
describe him as a "four-flushing
dub." He was known to the police
of this city as a "wire tapper" and
had served four years in Sing Sing
for swindling a visitor to the city
out of $100,000 in a "wire tapping"
game.
Fannie Brice, the actress, was in
love with "Nicky" when he was
sent to Sing Sing and it is no secret
that almost every week during his
incarceration in the prison, she called
on him there. "Nick' married Fannie
when he came out of orison that is,
after she had divorced her first hus
band. They have a little daughter
who now is calling loudly for her
daddy.
Arnstein is the typical Broadway
wallflower. He is athletically built,
wears the latest cut nobby English
clothes, and during the brief period
of his stay in London, acquired un
English drawl, which he lias used
with great effect while aiding "Ed"
Gondorf and the other master wire
tappers in this city in running down
their game.
He once was a sprint bicycle rider
over the Newark velodrome and it
is understood he acquired the name
"Nicky" because lie for years rode
a nickel plated bicycle for a manu
facturer as an "ad." There is little
likelihood that "Nicky" will show
his face out of doors while the hunt
for him is" on. He has a long sharp
nose that one has to seebut once
to remember it forever.-fco the pub
He can discount all the"se stories they
have been reading about "Nicky"
touring the country in open-faced
automobiles, trolley cars or any
other kind of vehicle on wheels.
"Nicky" is in a sub-cellar some place
not so many miles from New York,
the police are willing to gamble, and
he is not coming out to see his
shadow until he is certain that they
have not got good enough to hang
any part of the Binkowitz murder on
him.

Grand Island Man Is
Instantly Killed by
Touching "Live" Wi

Grand Island, Neb., May 8. Spe
cial.) Martin J. Slagle, lineman for
the Cencral Power Co., was instant
ly killed when he accidentally came
in contact with "live" wire- while
taking up slack in a line he was re
pairing. The voltage which passed
through his body is said to be 2,300.
Slagle was working on a pole
when the accident occurred. He was
first noticed by fellow workmen who
called to him when the saw him
leaning against the post in an un
natural position. When he, did not
respond they realized what had hap
pened and cut the wire and removed
him from the pole, where he was
held by his safety belt.
