testify against the officers of that
organization. At Wallace Suther-

consulting with counsel, but ar
ranged a secret meeting with De-

leges he was an unwilling party to
this meeting, fixed for the purpose
of entrapping him into damaging
admissions to be used as testimony.
As a sheriff is ineligible for re-
election in Idaho, it is charged that
Bailey was elected on the express
understanding that Sutherland, as
his deputy, should have full charge
of the Adams case in the interests
of the prosecution. If Sutherland
is allowed to handle the venire, it
is urged, only enemies of the West
ern Federation of Miners will be Sc
cured for the jury.
The statement of Attorney
Knight, for the prosecution, that
the federation is expanding large
sums of money to defeat the ends
of justice in defending Adams fail
ed of proof when John Hendrick-
son, former president of the local
miners union, was placed on the
stand. Hendrickson denied that
any extra assessment had been
made to meet the expense of de-

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The WON
an stage manager has at last ap-
peared in the person of Edith
Craig.
Miss Craig is the daughter of FL
len Terry, and is idolized by that
lovable and gracious actress. Lon
don friends say that her devotion
to her daughters artistic ideals has
been a heavy strain on Ellen Ter
rvs fortune. First her daughter
took up costuming and proceeded
to fit out her mother with every
thing she needed on the stage. The
business grew into one needing an
establishment. Ellen Terry rented
a building in the fashionable West
End of London But the business
did not quite come up to the needs
of a high rent and the artistic tenn
permanent.
Then Miss Craig turned her at
tention to the stage, ana before l2ng
she went in enthusiastically for
stage management. Her mother has
absolute confidence in her, and it

Now, is this joke or deep laid
plot to get the rest of poor Ellen
Terry's money away from her? The
little weakness of greatness on the
stage in the case of Ellen Terry is
tendency to forget her lines and
avail herself of the help of the
prompter. Will Miss Craig enforce
the rule against her mother?
That the young and handsome

the contention that the tunnel could
be watched as easily as the coast,
and that the tunnel could be ruin
ed and closed with few pounds

possibilities, Lord Napier, says the
danger is not so much of invasion,
but that the tunnel would give an
invader a secure communication for
reinforcement, one that could not
be seized by the fleet.
