GOOD TIMES MAKE
RECRUITING DIFFICULT
There Will Be No Trouble Re-
ducing Size of Army

WASHINGTON Aug. 2S.-Returning
prosperity is having effect on recruit
ing men for the United States army
making it more difficult to keep up
the standard established during the
time following the panic of 1907, when
splendid material was available from
the ranks OF the unemployed.
The authorized strength OF the army
IS $4,000 men, exclusive OF the hos
pital corps. which numbers $500 men.
II will not be a hard matter, there
fore. 70 reduce the size OF the standing
army. in accordance with President
Taft's wishes. Possibly the cause for
this reduction is the difficulty OF OBJ
tanning men, but the real reason is one
of~economy. Every man reduced means
a saving OF 81 900 a year and if the re-
ductioB proposed reaches 5000 men by
July j next. the total annual saving
will amount TO ss.oo0.00o a year.

Before Winchell purchased the
last of these claims he went to

delay had occurred in issuing the
patents. He had an interview with
Frank Pierce, assistant secretary
OF the interior, and wanted to
know il 1t were true as reported
that the claims were being held up
in order that new legislation might
be passed removing the claims
from entry. Pierce told him that
this was not true, that the claims
now had a standing in court and
that subsequent legislation could
not affect them.
Winchell said that Pierce told
him that charges had been filed
and that these would be properly

THE TRIAL OF S. T.
CRANE

Samuel T. Crane, I. w. w. attor-
ney, was placed on trial this morn
ing in Judge ]. D. Hinkle's depart
ment of the superior court, the case
being an appeal from a conviction
for disorderly conduct secured in
the police court
The morning session was devoted
to the selection of q jury. Crane APP
pearing in his own behalf. and As
sistant Corporation >Counsels Sar-'
gent and Blair for the city. The
following were accepted as Jurors:
c. c. Fishback, VIM. Elmquist, VIM.

When Attorney Crane asked
those of the venire to stand up who
were preJudiced against the l. w.
W., three of the twelve rose to
their. feet. In examining the tales
men, Crane questioned them along
the line of their feeling towards
the Industrial Workers, their. .atti-,
tude on free speech, whether they
inherited wealth or accumulated it
as a worker. Such questions as,
you are not in sympathy with
this muzzling of free speech, are
you?" or do you think it good
policy to prosecute every little
thing?" were objected to, of course,
but they show the nature of the ex-
animation.
Crane was arrested for address
ing crowd of I. w. WIS from his
office window in the second story
of the Columbia building. y

of the action of the meeting, but on
calling there at noon today was re-
fused an opportunity of conyersing
with the men.
Stark, who had completed 80

said this morning:
so far as the l. w. WIS are con-
cerned, we are in a better shape
than at any time since the fight
began. Our men are standing by
their principles and will continue
to go to jail in behalf of free
