Two more I. w. w. leaders have
been ground through the mill in
Justice Suckers court. Yesterday
afternoon James p. Thompson, an
organizer, was sentenced to six
months in Jail, and this morning A.
e. Cousins, former associate editor
of the local Industrial paper, was
found guilty and sentenced to four
months in Jail.
Things are going along with
greater dispatch in these last trials.
This morning 1t required only thirty
minutes to try and sentence Cous-
ms. while it is expected that even
quicker time will be made in some
of the remaining cases.
The l. w. w. leaders yet to be
tried for conspiracy are s. L. Bailey,
Elizabeth G. Flynn Jones, Louis
Gatewood, f. NJ. Conner, William
Douglas and G. II. Speed. Mrs.
Jones, or Gurley Flynn, as she is
better known, is out on $4,000 bond,
while the others remain in Jail.
In each case notice of appeal
has been filed with bonds fixed at
81 900.

A SKETCH OF CLAWS

L. r. CLAWS, the deposed special
agent Of the land department, the
man who through his activity In
the coal exposure leaped into ma
tional prominence, can usually be
found seated In an obscure corner
Of the public section Of the federal
court room, among the common
people," In whose service he met
the III will OF superIors and lost his
official head.
CLAWS Is quiet young man, with
slight southern accent, and
bushes with modesty when his part
in the coal lands scandal is men
toned. He has but little to say and
refuses positively to talk about the
coal investigation. reserving his
views on this important matter for
a later date, after the conclusion OF

|C0NFESSES To THE
GUGGH|lHt|M DEAL
Michael Doneen's Testimony---A. D.
Jones' Clean Bill.

Michael Doneen, a retired farmer
living in Spokane. in the Cunning
ham coal inquiry this morning, said
that he had agreed to the Guggen-
helm deal for the sale Of the coal
claims and had made out a trust
deed for the transfer of his interest
to a company to be formed for the
purpose of taking over all of the
claims.
This was after Doneen had paid
for the claim and received his GER
tificate, but while his application
for patent was pending. Doneen
said that he did not like the agree
ment entered into. but thought he
would ratify it IL most of the other
claimants did.
Doneen said that he first met
Clarence Cunningham in 1908
through Ed Davidson of Oakesdale.
Cunningham was at that time pro-
noting the Alaska coal proposition,
and because of the witness conf
dence in Cunningham brother, DR..
John G. Cunningham of Spokane,
he took claim, paying the initial
fee of $500 in cash to the doctor.
He said that the claim was entered
exclusively for his own benefit, and
that he had no understanding or
agreement with anyone at the time
of entry or subsequent thereto until
he received his certificate from the
government.
Arthur D. Jones of Spokane, also
an entryman, gave clean bill in
his cross examination. He had new
err agreed to anything, with any
body, had made no deeds or other
conveyances, and passed through
the examination unscathed. The
claim has cost him to date about
$4,000 He signed a number of pa
pers without noting them very

in Spokane that an alliance Of the

over the state will prove of mutual
benefit to both employees and EN-.

movement for the reorganization OF

At the close of the convention of

remain to form the new state ALI
ance of the building crafts. 1t has
been only in the last two months or
so that the matter of establishing a
building trades department in the
state federation of labor has been
discussed, but unions of the coast
cities are declared to be equally as
enthusiastic in it now as are the
unions of Spokane.
Many of the unions selected dele

in their meetings last night and II
is figured that all OF them will have
chosen their delegates at the end

Hence Cunningham went to law
