Streets of Berlin Virtually Buried
Under Deluge, of Election
Dodgers and Posters.
LONDON, Jan. 20. Rioting occurred
in Berlin during last night after the
tpartacans had attempted to destroy
the ballot boxes used In Sunday's elec
tion, according to an Exchange Tele
graph dispatch from Copenhagen.
The Spartaeans were repulsed every
where. Fighting took place in Wilhelm
strasse and Hedemannstrasse and at
the Hallesche Tor. The Spartacans also
made an attempt to storm the office of
the Vorwaerts.
"The course of the elections through
out the iJerman state." says a German
government wireless dispatch received
brc tonight, "has clearly proved that
the development of a republican form
of government interests the whole Ger
man nation. Participation in the elec
tions was strong everywhere and in the I
sharpest contradiction to the indiffer
ence which vast classes, especially the
Xiourgeoise, have shown on the occa
sion of former election. Especially re
markable was the strong percentage of
- women among the masses of voters and
the perseverance of fcoth male and fe
male voters to vote, despite adverse
weather.
"Only from the Rhineland, the mining
district of Hamborn, Casscl and a few
small places have there been disturb
ances due to the violence of Spartacan
bands.
"The party administration of the In
dependent Socialists has now appealed
to the workers to suspend their protest
strike and return to work."
TAUIS, Jan. 20. Returns of the elec
tion for the German National Assembly

Berlin Plastered With Posters.
The streets of Berlin today were vir
tually buried under a deluge of elec
tion dodgers, while fronts of houses
and available windows were plastered
with huge posters hung up by campaign
workers during the morning, frequent
ly without the knowledge of house or
6tore proprietors.
The spectacle was one wholly new
to Berlin, where the billboard priv
ileges are strictly confined to the fa
miliar columns on the street corners
while the distribution of handbills i
ordinarily severely restricted by police
regulations.
Today, however, the house and shop
fronts on Lnter den Linden from th
Pariserplatz to the opera house were
one continuous billboard appeal. Th
Majority Socialists alone are reported
to have distributed 30,000,000 dodgers
in addition to wall papering the city
with myriads of posters.
The municipal government of Greate
Berlin has protested to the Ebert
Cabinet against the proposal to con
vene the National Assembly elsewhere
than in Berlin.
According to the Tageblatt, the Cabi
net has not decided on the" place the
assembly will meet. Opposition to
Berlin as the seat of the assembly is
tsaid to emanate chiefly from South
German sources.
COBLENZ, Jan. 19. (By the Asso

American zone of occupation. Karly

pleted with Herbert C. Hoover, director-general
of relief, whowlil supply
food up tothe limit of the money sub
scribed for the relief of Russian pris

NEW TORK, Jan. 20. J. Willard
RoblnBon, formerly a stenographer in
the office of Jeremiah A. O'Leary, is
accused of carrying messages between
O'Leary and German agents in Holland j
in 1917. in an indictment for treason
returned here today by the Federal
grand jury.
Robinson, the indictment states, went
to Rotterdam on an American tank
steamship in April. 1917, and delivered
to Frank Richards, alleged to be a
German agent, correspondence from
O'Leary and from Madame Marie de
Victorica, John T. Ryan and Herman
Wessels. who, with O'Leary. were in
dicted last Spring on charges of con
spiracy to commit treason and espion
age. In June of the same year, it ia
charged, Robinson arrived here with
secret correspondence.
The messages, the indictment states,
were in invisible ink and one from
O'Leary and Ryan asked the German
government what assistance it could
give the fight for freedom for Ireland.
The indictment contains copies of
letters which Robinson is eaid to have
brought from Holland and also from
Spain and Denmark, and which were
intercepted by the Armyintelllgence
bureau.
Robinson was one of six persons in
dicted last year with O'Leary on the
conspiracy and espionage charges.
Madame de Victorica. who is said to be
the Baroness Maria von Kretxchmann,
a relative of the former German Em
press, and Weseels, a lieutenant com
mander in the German nary and also
known as Carl Rodiger. are in custody,
as German spies; Ryan, whose home ia
In Buffalo, is believed to have fled to
Mexico.
Owing to the absence of Ryan, it Is
eaid, the case has not yet been brought
to trial. O'Leary, a prisoner in the
Tombs, has been tried on .a charge of
conspiracy to obstruct the nation's
military preparations by means of ar
ticles in the anti-British magazine
Bull.
Owing to his illness, the case did not
goo the jury. On the eve of an earlier
date set for trial of this Indictment,
O'Leary made his sensational flight to
the I'aciflc Coast and soon after his
capture was arraigned on the charge
Involving conspiracy to commit trea
