LAUNDRY TRUST REVEALS
PARTICULARLY MALEvOLENT
SPIRIT IN ILLEGAL PERSECU-
TON OF 17-YEAR-OLD EN-
PLOYE.

Here is an illustration of the
benevolent disposition Of the local
laundry trust, an organization that
won't permit its employees to join a
union for fear it will lead them into
becoming undesirable citizens or
something of that sort.
William Travers, age II, was a
marker and sorter for the Great
American laundry at a salary of 81
per week. He got an offer of 81
per day and extra for Sunday work
from the Spokane laundry, and sup
posing he had some rights as a citi-
zen, accepted it.
He has scarcely got fitted into his
new and better paying job when his
former employer, the proprietor OF
the Great American laundry (note
the significance Of the name in this
connection), ferreted him out and
Travers lost the job because he had
not given weeks notice Of his in
tention to quit, in accordance with
the imperative mandates of the
mighty association of shirt washers.
The boy got the new job on short
notice and had no time to spare.
Travers went back to live up to
the letter of the laundry trust law
In order to avoid being placed for
ever under the dirty linen ban, and
then he found. instead of being
given chance, he was placed on
the blacklist for 30 days.
The boy is capable and we'll liked,
but none of the other laundrymen
in the association can give him
work until he has served his SEN
tence, any more than Spokane
hardware dealer would dare sell an
independent plumber material
when forbidden to by the cutthroat
plumbing combine. And there is
but / non-trust laundry in the city.
There are state and national laws
against this blacklist system, but
they can't enforce themselves, and
the prosecuting attorney of this
county has still to make a reputa-
ton for activity in this line.

Say, where's the police station?'
The question was asked of Patrol
man Casey. stationed at the corner
of Riverside av. and Howard ST.,
just before noon today.
Casey looked hurt. Then he was
seen to carefully extract bean
from a pocket. look closely at II,
and then consign 1t to another
pocket.
A reporter saw the act and ap-
preached Casey with cigar.
What's the bean for, Casey?"
"Sur-re an It's question
mark"
That was puzzler and Casey's
interrogation knitted his brows-"a
bean is a question mark" was too
deep a problem to solve. We've all
heard about most kinds OF ques.
tion marks, but never before q

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-t
Closing argument in defense Oh
Schmitz was begun this morning by
Attorney Cmpbell before an au@
dience Of 5000. He began by point
ing out that none of the French
restaurant keepers testified they
had been threatened. He then made
an attack on Reagan, who he de.
clared first fought the restaurants
on his own initiative and then voted
to favor their licenses.
Campbell declared Ruefs confess
sion was forced from him BY
methods worthy OF the inquisition
and that as 1t was forced confess
sion 1t shouldn't be given weight.
He declared there was not bit Of
evidence to prove that the mayoN
and Ruef ever held moments conS
ference In regard to the restau.
rants.
While Campbell spoke the mayor
sat with his head in his hands.
In closing, Campbell said:
Gentlemen of the jury, In the
name of the living God. don't make
a mistake. Don't send the wife and.
children of this man out into the
world with the mark of Cain upon
their brows. Take the case from
the records and do your duty acS

science"
Campbell closed at noon and re.
cess was taken till 2:30, when
Heney will make the closing argu-
ment for the state. He will speak
2 hours. The Judges charge will
take about an hour.

The "Black Pope" as the
General Of the Jesuit
Order is Called, will
Soon Pay a Visit to the
Houses of his Order in
this Country.
Francis Xavier WernZ, a German by
Birth, Is The Present Head OF
the Order, Having Been
Elected Just a Year AGO
in Succession to the
Late Father
martin.
(By Special Wire to the AReUs.)

(By Special Wire to the ARaUs.)
Rome, Sept. IMPRACTICAL confrma-
ton has been received of the rumor
that the "Black Pope" as the General
of the Jesuit Order is called, will soon
pay a visit to the houses of his order
in America. Francis Xavier Wernz, a
German by birth, is the present head
of the order, having been elected just a
year ago in succession to the late
Father Martin. At the time of his
election Father Wernz was rector of
the Gregorian University here. He
has devoted himself principally to
canon law, and is considered one of
the greatest living authorities on this
subject.
The Jesuits are a remarkable body of
men. The internal regulations of the
society are very simple to those of an
army in respect to obedience and ex-
ecutive. There are at the present time
about Ii, 500 in the world, collected in
twenty-five provinces under the con-
troll of provincials. Every official ex-
SOpC LIZ SOA1O1 al WIZ 10 C1SCGOo " liz,
and can only be deposed for some NOR
al, personal error (such a thing has not
occurred in the 400 years of it's exist
ence,) is elected for a term.
The general of the society is one of
the hardest-worked men in a hard
working world. Every member of the
society may write in complaint Or for
advice to the very revered father, and
though there is a permanent staff of
secretaries, the general is supposed to
pass every reply. Moreover, he must
control men, many of whom are more
brilliant than himself, and tremend-
ously strong-willed, and in addition he
has to conduct the external relations of
the society. The political influence OF
the "Black Pope" is a matter of his
tory.
Another ecclesiastical dignitary who
| will oon go to the United States is
Cardinal Vincenzi Vannutelli, who
will represent the Vatican at the Eu-
charistic Congress at Pittsburg next
month. Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutelli
should not be confused with his better
known and more ambitious brother,
Cardinal Serafno Vannutelli, who is
Project Of the Congregational Council.
The two brothers are the grandsons OF
a man who rose from an altogether
mental position to that of major domo
of the first Napoleon's most beautiful
sister, Princess Pauline Borghese. She
was as free in her gifts and her expen-
diture as in her affairs OF the heart, and
under the circumstances it is not as.
tonishing that her factotum should
have amassed in her service the large
fortunes which his grandsons, the two
Cardinals, enjoy to this day.
