GIRLS ELoPE WITH BRiGANDS.
Fourteen Young Women Disappear
From Berlin and City Is in
an Uproar.

BERLIN, May IA Moorish in
vasion. which though bloodless. was so
successful as to result in the capture of
IA prisoners. has set Berlin by the ears
The Moors in question are a troop
Of picturesque brigands, with black
curls, bronze skins, white teeth, and
laughing eyes. They have been ap-
pearing in variety performance here.
The sheik is a magnificent specimen
of physical manhood, and his bearded
followers are hardly inferior.
Having finished their engagement
here they were sent a few days ago
to Cologne. simultaneously IA pretty
girls vanished from as many Berlin
homes and the city was in an uproar.
Search was instituted. but the police
had not far to look. The girls We're
in Cologne, each with a swarthy Othel-
10.
When their parents ordered them
home they promptly refused to obey.
They'had fallen desperately in love and
would not be separated from the OBJ
jects Of their affection.
The wrathful fathers were at loss
to know what to do. The charge of
abduction was absurd. for the girls
were of age and had left home of their
own volition.
Then some one had an inspiration
and straightway the Moors were ac-
cused of hypnotism.
The sheik thought it over. 1t
sounded bad. He admitted that. But
he did not know what it was He had
never heard of hypnotism, but he i'm
pressed upon the police that he was
entirely willing to be fair. He would
nav the parents a good price for their
daughters and take them to Morocco.
He is still wondering why the I'M
reasonable Germans would not ac-
cept his offer.

RIGHTS OF UNIONS TO Be TESTED
Seattle Union Will Fight Against the
Loss of Its Records and
Seals.

An action is to be instituted in the
supreme court within a few days, ac-
cording to a statement made by At
torney Edward C. Krite, Of Seattle,
which is intended to determine the
question of the rights of union or
ganization which is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor to with
draw from the national organization
and enter the ranks of the socialists,
taking the property, records and seals
of the union with them.
Mr. Krite is quoted as saying:
"The action which / expect to begin
il, the superior court within few days
is the result of the beginning OF po-
litical fight which is to be waged be-
tween unionists and the socialists. and
is to determine the rights of the unions
to withdraw and take the property OF
the union organization with them. l
do not know whether the case will be
brought in the form of a simple COM
plant, or whether writ of mandate
will be asked, but the question must
be decided at once.
eve all know that some union men
have strong tendencies toward the So
cialist party and it's teachings, and a
fight has already been begun to. draw
them to the socialist ranks. The weak
or unions will be taken in first, and 1t
will soon be up to the unionists to go
in a body to some one or the other po-
IticaI organizations All that can be
done in the courts for the protection of
the unions is to secure a decision to the
effect that the property of the union
can not be taken.
I'VE have a case at this time where
a union has endeavored to leave the
national organization and still retain
the property of the union, and the ac-
ton will be brought to determine the
question involved
The case referred to by Mr.. Kriete IS
the action of the Federal Labor union
in Withdrawing from the American
Federation of Labor and the Central
Labor council of Seattle and vicinity.

Three towns are to be put up for

Snake river. They have come into ex-
istence within the past II months. A
year ago there was nothing there but
sand, sage brush, coyotes and rattle
snakes. There was not habitation

stores, school houses and churches. All
is due to the magic of government irri
CATION.
The towns are Hepburn, Scherrer
and Rupert.
On the map look for the southern
boundary of Idaho. Bordering this
line and just about the middle of 1t
is Lincoln county. In the southeast
corner of the county is the Minidoka
irrigation project, which consists in re-
claiming 10000 acres of desert by
damming the Snake river and divertfng
the water to the lands. The three
towns have sprung up along the newly
built railroad.
The latest census shows that no less
than 1000 people are now settled on the
irrigation tract. But the people on the
town sites are there merely by suf-
ferance. The same is true of the build
ings. There are 122 business houses,
two banks, three newspapers and
