 In the stipulation Mir, Cruzen admit ted that he had stated to several per- sons that he had purchased and con- trolled a block of the Capital News bonds which had been held by former Governor Brady. who at one time had been sup ported politically by the paper.
 The stipulation admitted that Cruzen repeatedly ndu Sldteu tldL he ltohtioicu the progressive organ of Idaho and dic- tated it's editorial policies. It admitted that he had promised the support of the paper to the vets in a recent local option campaign if the wet committee would meet his demands, although the paper had always supported the anti saloon workers, and that he had so- lcited business that had been with drawn from the paper, on the ground that he was interested personally.
 At the Chicago convention MT. Cru=en refused to leave the republican party but later took an active part in the progressive campaign on behalf of both national and state tickets. The court adjourned without making up the cases of the other two defendants in defense of whom the progressive party has promised a hard fight on the principle of free speech where no obstruction of justice is intended.

But, l say, if you convict somebody by the name of Bernhardt convict his little boy. Send the little boy to lhe penitentiary. He might stand il. but Bernhardt, with q wife, could not"
 Speaking for all the defendants, Mr. Harding referred to letters taken from the iron workers headquarters In In dianapolis, upon which the government charges d dynamite conspiracy was dl- rected through the mail. MT. Harding said the letters remained in the head quarters for six months after John ]. MeNamara, the secretary, had been locked up at Los Angeles, and none of the writers of the letters ever went to Indianapolis to recover them.
 '.Why, after McNaInara was arrested charged with dynam,ting, didn't these men rush to Indianapolis to recover their letter?' asked the attorney. The natural move of a guilty man would be to destroy evidence of his guilt But these men did not attempt to re- gain the letters. which remained in MeNamara s office unmolested until the government took possession of them
 Mf Harding also said the government for three months had a telephone in strument hidden under President Frank M. Ryan's desk al the union offices and had not produced in evidence any in formation secured through that secret telephone.
 Senator John W. Kern said he would speak tomorrow in defense of Herbert Hockin and of Eugene A. Clancy and Olaf A Tveitmoe of San Francisco. When Senator Kern concludes, the gov ernment is to begin an argument to continue for two and one-half days.

When asked concerning the S1600 which it Is alleged Ehrlich owes Mrs. Pizitz. Mir Pizitz said. 'Ehrlich, off and on for several months, five or six, I should judge, was entrusted by Mrs. Pizitz with her personal savings. He was given the money to deposit in the bank He kept the book, Mrs Pizitz. as we all did, trusting him absolutely.
 "We estimate that today Mrs. Pizitz should have on deposit about $500. She has to her credit about $3.
 "Ehrlich did not deposit the money. Had he made the deposits 1t would be there now. For Mrs. Pizitz did not sign the checks by which it could have been withdrawn."
 Equally as much shocked as Mir. pizitz were the employees of the store. Half a dozen of them, to The Age Herald reporter, expressed their sur prise, and one or more testified that Ehrlich was "one of the best fellows alive n

MAY BAR NEGRO
 FROM THE ARMY

Washington, December 2S-The proposal to eliminate the American negro as a soldier is the topic slated for considera- ton when the conference of the ranking officers of the United States army takes place here January 8. Some officers fa-
 oring the plan are prepared to urge it upon the ground that in the Philippines the natives are said to resent the ap- pearance among them of the black troopers, and that there are signs of dissatisfaction in Hawaii, owing to the fact that the Twenty-fifth infantry. a negro organization, has been ordered to the islands to form permanent garri- son. Friends of the negro soldiers are preparing to make a strenuous fight in their behalf pointing to their splendid record in time of war in Cuba and in the Philippine archipelago.

 "IIe is my nephew" stated the well known merchant. He Is merchant ped dleI, and has been slaving for many years. He saved up neat sum of money and turned 1t oyer as a loan to Ehrlich. The amount was about $600N. He, as result, has nothng-all the work of his life hay ing been swept away.
 There are others who will feel theiI losses just as heavily. As a matter Of fact, so absolutely was Ehrlich trusted that the boys were anxious that he take charge of their savings"
 When asked for the names of the four men of the employees of the store who had suffered losses as result of the disap- pearance of Ehrlich MT. Pizitz shook his head

 NOTES FOR $14,000

When asked in what form was the obli- gation that Ehrlich had made to him, MT. Pizitz said: "I was on his notes for $l4,- 000 When he asked me to indorse the notes for him I did not hesitate, for in addition to the confidence that l placed in him he offered and I accepted security. The security was in the form of diamonds.
 Some days ago Ehrlich told me that the people who held the notes wanted the diamonds for the Christmas holidays. In- stantly l turned them over. l presume that he has them still or their equal in money.
 "We are all shocked. We can assign no cause for the disappearance. As l have said, Ehrlich came to this country from the old country and has been with me for 2i years For 1o years he was my confidential financial man. He has cer- tainly been of the highest integrity. He did not drink. He did not gamble. He gave no indications of plans for disap- pearance if he had any.
