CLE|N'S FATE

Was A. Lewandoski murdered on
the government reservation at Fort
Wright or without? Was he muir
dered within the jurisdiction of. the
federal government or the state of
Washington? Upon this hinges the
question of whether or no Paul
Glen, convicted of murder in the
first degree, is to secure new
trial
According to the opening state
ment of Prosecutor Pugh at the
Clein trial, the murder was thought
to have been committed within the
reservation, and using the prosecut-
or's own words as lever, Attorney
Alex Winston made strong appeal
for q new. trial for his client before
Judge Webster yesterday on the
grounds that the crime was com
mitted within the government res

diction of federal court.

UNIUN
TO FIGHT FOR REFORMS

A new and powerful factor Is to
be ushered into Che political arena
Of the state Of Washington. Dis
satisfied with the returns which
they have received through the old
parties, the reform element, inciud-
Ing members Of the labor unions Of
the state, will soon start the organ
ixation Of new party, to be known
az the labor party.
The new party also will probably
include members of the grange and
the farmers unions and other re-
form organizations. 1t will have for
its special object the bringing about
of reforms, such as the eight hour
day for women, which have been
long sought In vain by the laboring
class through the old parties.
The new party will be similar to
the labor party. of California. al.
ready an organization has been ef-
fected In Seattle Steps toward or
ganization have also been taken, ft
is said, at Tacoma and other coast
cities. The movement has been

ganization, 1t Is reported, is the
next move to be made,
1t will have no connection what
ever with the state federation Of la
Dor or any other labor body, ac-
cording to the report; but will un-
doubtedly receive its support all
most exclusively from the laboring
class.
The state organization win prob
ably be effected after the conveu-
ton of the state federation OF labor
at Hoquiam, which opens on Janu-
airy IL. No official cali has been
sent out, but 1t is probable that the
initial convention viii be held az
one of the coast cities.
Plans for the new party will be
formulated, and IL is expected that
1t will become factor In the com.
ing spring elections.
Local labor union men who have
been interviewed regarding the new.

it. The victories which have been
gained and the reforms in working
conditions which have been

GROWLED BUT

The Macho employment
agency was made to refund

cured jobs through that con-
Germ outside Of Spokane and
then failed to find the work.
Macho paid back the money I'M

a stir. in the mayors office
while the interview was in
progress.
Written releases were pre-
. sented by Macho showing full
settlement with the men, but 1t
was claimed that these re-
leases had been secured in an
improper manner, and II was In
the tilt over this phase of the
Vase that the employment
agent showed his ire.
There is a strong probability
that number of the employ

Many days we had nothing in the

when the little children would cry
and beg SO hard for something to
eat, | would go to the Heighbors

that will save the Washington

nary method of condemning land
under the eminent domain act, have
the damages to certain owners arbi-
trated by the board of arbitrators
and to pay the costs upon which the
board agrees into court by Febru-
ary I.
This is In accordance to an order
that has been issued by Judge
Dunno of Occur d'Alene, Idaho, who
is hearing the submerged land
cases. The order was given in con-
nection with complaint brought
before the Judge by Charles Waters,
whose land the Washington Water
Power Co. is alleged to have claim
ed a righS under the eminent do
main act, without the regular pro-
cesses of condemnation.

within the specified time, February

against its bear trag" dam, built
