SEDITIOUS TALK
RESETS IN ARRESTS
Two ('/ordovi Men Are Arrested For
Seditious Talk Against United
States And Tlie Bed Cross.
The federal officials of this division
have begun an active campaign to
round up all persons who are spread
ing the pro-German propoganda in Al
aska. The first ones gathered In the
dragnet were Joe Janey and Bob
Schniith, who were placed under ar
rest last night by deputy marshal
Fursifi&n, upon information filed
against them by District Attorney
Munley who is now in Cordova They
are charged with seditious talk in
which they stated that In the pres
ent war the Kaiser was right and the
United States wrong, also their op
position to the work of the Red Cross.
This talk had extended over a period
of two weeks. They were formerly
employed at the City bakery, where
it is alleged most of the seditious talk
took place, while they were work
ing on the night shift and the pro
prietors were not present. As soon
as the facts became known Messrs.
Hartwlg & Klesllng co-operated with
the federal authorities and rendered
them valuable service in securing evi
dence against the men which resulted
in their being placed In custody.
Janey and Schmlth are at present
in the federal jail and their cases have
been reported to the attorney general
at Washington who will determine
whether they shall remain here for
the period of the war or be sent out
side to an internment camp.—Cordova
