Even more far reaching than the
mere trial of Elizabeth GurIey
Flynn for conspiracy was the hear
ing in Justice Stocker's court yes
terday afternoon.
The question developed into an
academic examination of the ef-
fects on the public mind Of the
teachings Of socialism. Expert tes-
timony was introduced by e. J.
Tambin, J. S. Lichty, socialists, as
to the meaning OF the red flag, the
banner Of the Industrial Workers,
and also recognized by socialists as
the international color of the move
ment.
Prosecutor Pugh had copy of
song book used in socialist meet
ings, some of the literature of the
movement, and copies of the publ
cation issued by the !. w. w. in
Spokane.
This material was used In an eff
fort to show that the meetings
wherein such songs were sung and
such literature read were contrary
to public order and tending to es-
tablish the claim of the state that
the defendant was conspirator.
Attorney Fred Moore. represent
ing the defendant, examined the
witnesses in detail as to meaning
of the red flag and brought forth
in each case responses in the ma
ture of short orations on socialism
and the use of the, red flag as an
international banner.
One of the witnesses said that
he had heard Miss Flynn in one
of her meetings urge upon her hear
ers that the correct solution of the
ills that beset the workingmen at
this time was to follow the teach
ings of Jesus Christ.
When an effort was made by the
woman's consel to show how she
had labored to secre a peaeeable
adjustment of the street speaking
controversy by pleading with the
city council for the adoption of a

ASKS INSURGENTS TO
SURRENDER,

BlUEFIELDs, Nicaragua, Dec.
1O.-GeneraI Estrada was dumb
founded today when he learned that
the objects of the conference of
ZeIayan ENJOYS with General Diaz,
representing the insurgent leader,
was. to demand the surrender of the
insurgent army.
General Vasquez, in command of
division of the government troops
near Rama on Wednesday, proposed
a conference to General Estrada.
The latter, believing that Vas
quez sought opportunity for an ad-
vantageous surrender, sent General
Diaz to meet him. The government
ENJOYS. proved to be Julio Bonilla
and Major Eva. Accompanying
General Diaz, for the insurgents,
was Major Zelaya, nephew of the
president.
When Diaz heard the demand for
surrender of the insurgents, he i'm
mediately declared that Vasquez
was the one who should surrender,
declaring the insurgent position at
Rama was impregnable, and that
the United States was supporting
General Estrada. The conference
continues today.
The arrival of the United States
cruiser Des Moines has created the
greatest enthusiasm and drawn the
whole town to the waterfront. The
