The demand by the Labor Trust
leaders for an anti-injunction law, is
quite in keeping with the purpose of
the tyrannous leaders. A careful in
vestigation of the records of all Fed
eral courts for the past 5 years dis
closes the fact that only 20 injunc-
tions have issued in labor disputes and
in not one Of these cases has the SUI
perior court reversed or failed to ap-
prove. No other subject handled by our
courts have been as free from mistake.
Humanity is prone to weakness and
error, and our courts are human, but
fortunately for mankind we find less
error and weakness in the handling
of restraining orders or "injunctions"
in labor cases than in any other de-
partment of legal procedure, and the
most remarkable fact N all this anti
injunction agitation is that thus far
not one single case has been shown

PROVIDE FIRE ESCAPES
School Board Acts In Matter and Em-
plOys Principal for Another Year.

School Board Acts I'm Matter and Em-
plOys Principal for Another Year.
The school board met yesterday
afternoon at the high school build
ing and disposed Of a number Of
matters OF interest and Importance.
The matter of making the public
schools more safe for the pupils
against disaster by fire was brought
up and discussed. All of the board
we're agreed that the exits now pro-
vided were not sufficient to avoid a
disaster like that recently occurring
at Collinwood, Ohio, and that the
buildings should be made more safe
by fire escapes. For the lower floors
the first and second door exits are
deemed sufficient and no further pro-
visions will be made for them. In
the event of a fire, however, there
exists considerable danger to those
located in the upper stories Of the
Central, Roosevelt and Bryan schools,
and these. the board decided, should
be furnished by FIRE escapes. After
considerable discussion the board
decided to secure these FIRE escapes.
and placed the matter in the hands
of the building committee. with pow
er to act in the matter. This com
mittee will take the matter up imme-
diately and hope before long to have
the three buildings so provided with
fire escapes that all danger Of disas-
ter by reason of fire viii be elimin-
ated.
Angus Davis. the present principal
of the high school. was reelected for
another year by the board. Mr..
Davis has served one year and has
given excellent satisfaction.
The board was furnished by Su-
perintendent Barton with q partial
list OF the teachers now occupying
positions in the public schools who
had expressed a willingness to re.
main another year, and this list was
given to a committee for cOnsidera-
ton and action. Besides the appli-
cations of the above. 100 new appli.
cations for positions in the public
schools were turned over to the com.
mittee. The committee is to report
at the next regular meeting.

MACHINE GUNS
SLAUGHTER $500
Strikers in Nitrate Bed Killed by
Chilean Soldiers

SAN FRANCISCO, March IA
Machine guns operated by the gov
eminent forces OF Chile In a great
conflict with strikers at the nitrate
beds and In the city OF IquIque laid
25OO men low. most OF those being
killed. according to advIces received
yesterday from the Norwegian
steamer Christian Bors. arriving d.
rect from Chile.
Business at Iquique, which had
never been before seriously disturbed
by anything but earthquakes. was
paraIyzed when the great army OF
workers went on a strike. One tight
after another occurred, until soldiers
and strikers met In the streets OF
Iquique and on the outskirts and
openly deiied each other.
Being ordered to drive the army
OF men away and dispense them. the
soldiers opened fire while they were
massed and literally moved down the
men. They had little opportunity to
fight back, even though they had
been armed. the assault upon them
was 50 sudden.
This took place on January l and
was followed by two or three days OF
oppressive gloom in the community
while the funerals OF the killed were
taking place.
A week later, as though by com
mon agreement, the strikers went
back to work without the expected
advance In wages. II was reported
that the mine owners will voluntarily
increase the pay to many Of theII
employees.

ARTHUR CHURCH RELEASED
Reason for This Action Said to BE
Lack OF COrrOb0rative Evidence.

Reason for This Action Said TO BE
Lack Of COrrOborative Evidence.
The case of the state Of Idaho W.
Arthur Church, charging him with
rape upon the person of Hazel More
house, a minor, has been dismissed
by Judge Woods.
Church was arrested some time
ago upon this charge and his prelim-
mary examination held before Jus
tice of the Peace Chamberlain and he
was bound over to the district court
for trial. At the preliminary exam
nation the witnesses appearing
against him were Hazel Morehouse.
Lorenzo Scott and Chief OF Police
McGovern. The girls testimony in
brief was that she had been ruined
by Church one evening at the Frank
lin hotel, and the evidence Of Scott
was that In a conversation with
Church the latter had said to him:
1T was through me that Hazel
Morehouse was sent to h" The
chief testified that Church had ad-
mitted that he had visited the girl
at her room at the Franklin.
County Prosecutor Potts. after
summing up the evidence he had on
hand against Church. decided to not
file an information against him be-
cause Of lack Of corFoborative evil
denee. The Idaho code provides that
no person shall be convicted upon
the uncorrOborated evidence OF an
accomplice, and the prosecutor. after
investigating the case. decided that
there was not SUFFICIENT corroborative
evidence to the story told by the
girl to warrant q conviction at the
hands Of a jury. and filed . written
statement with the court setting
forth that by reason OF the lack OF
cOrroborative evidence he did not
regard 1t as expedient to file an In
formation against Church. Judge
Woods. after making an Investigation
of the case and the evidence in sup
port of the charge preferred. ordered
the case dismissed and Church re-
leased.
