Rearrest order for Kate Sadler stirs Seattle crowd
Mayor Gil ordered the rearrest of Kate Sadler on a disorderly conduct charge after she called President Wilson a traitor at a street meeting near Sixth avenue and Marion Street. Sadler, wife of Sam Sadler under federal indictment for alleged resistance to the draft, spoke at a pacifist event. A 4000 strong crowd heard as police took her from the speaker’s box and she escaped by automobile. The mayor linked disturbances to County Council of Patriotic Societies and barred similar meetings where she can be arrested if located. Federal action was deemed limited by state law and city authority. Continued on page 7.
