The trial of Emilia Goldntan and
Alexander Iterkman. the anarchists.
In-fore Judse Julius M. Mayer, in the
fedeial court, for conspiracy to ob
struct the operation of the national
military law was hailed for a few
moments yesterday morning when
John Allen of Amiiiie. a hamlet of
loo inhabitant in Clay county Ky..
told Judge Mayer what he thought of
slackers." says the New York Times.
The proceeding w?s entirely unex
pected and was the result of the ar
rest in New York a few weeks ago of
John Calhoun Allen, the eldest son
of the old mountaineer. The son
is of conscript age. but refused to
rcgisu-r as required by the provisions
of the selective draft law.
"If I had a thousand sons and my
country needed them, my country
would get every blessed one of "em."
said the old mountaineer with posi
tivenes as he addressed the judge.
In order to fully pp;rtH-iate the pa
triothm of old John Allen it is neces
sary to go back about three weeks.
when late one afternoon a good-looking
youngster was brought before
Judge Mayer charged with refusing
to obey the military laws. He was
John Calhoun Allen, and, after look
ing him over. Judge Mayer said that
the only reason he could think for
a man like John Calhoun refusing to
register was that he must be de
mented.
So Judge Mayer sent the prisoner
to Bellevue for observation, and
when the physician reported that he
appeared to have a touch of "demen
tia praecox" Judge Mayer decided to
communicate with the Allen family in
the mountains of East Kentucky. Sji
a letter was written to old John Allen
in which the facts were placed be
fore him, and he was asked to com
municate with the authorities in New
York, and was told that pending an
answer his son would be detained in
the custody of United States Marshal
Thomas D. McCarthy.
KvWy Inch a Mountaineer.
The answer to Judge Mayer's let
ter arrived yesterday in the form of
the six feet two inches of John Allen
himself. The mountaineer, accom
panied by Assistant United States
District Attorney John C. Knox, came
into court just before the noon hour.
He wore the boots and the corduroy
trousers of the Kentucky hills. Hi
shirt was blue and colarless and home
made. His coat was old-fashioned,
and in hi hand he carried the big
black sombrero.
"May It please your honor," said
Mr. Knox, "we have with us the
father of John Calhoun Allen, the
young man arraigned before you
some weeks ago charged with failure
to register."
The mountaineer looked the judge
squarely in the eye and bowed. Tall
and erect he towered above every
other niun in the courtroom and he
was not in theJcast embarrassed.
"Judge," he said, "I got your letter
and I thank you lor it, and I started
to answer it in writin' but decided
that maybe it was better that I come
here myself and see what's the mat
ter with that boy of mine. It ain't
like our TolUs to act as that young
ster has acted, and I assure you that
I am plumb mad about it. I have
five boys, and this one who is in
trouble here Is the oldest. Two of
my lads are already in the army and
the two youngest will be there soon
as they are old enough.
"And so 1 have come all t ho way
from Kentucky to get this one who 1
hear is a backslider. All I nsk is I'm
you o let me take my boy back to
Ken tin k with me and I will see I
it that be comes 1o time when hi-

The boy with tears in his eyes said
he would register just as quick as he

"And I'll fight too if they want

"Of course you will, for if you

old man replied.
And that was the end of the Allen
incident.
"That old fellow is one of the kind
that makes the country great. He is
a real American," said Judge Mayer
when he recalled the unusual Inci

afternoon.
Just before he left the federal
building John Allen asked one of the
deputy marshals what case wes being
tried before Judge Mayer.
"I noticed that man and the wo
man and I wondered who they were.
What did they do?" he asked.
"They are anarchists and they are
on trial for urging men not to regis

"Those are the kind'er folks who
are responsible for boys like this one
of mine gettin' in trouble," John Al
len observed.
"We don't have folks like that out
our way," he added.
