At the afternoon session Nathan
Coghlan, who has been indisposed
hoped to be able to make the con-
cluding appeal for the defendant.
Matt I. Sullivan was scheduled to
round off the argument for the gov
ernment. Judge Van Fleets charge is
expected to be brief. The case hinges
on the purpose for which Diggs went
away with Marsha Warrington in
company with F. Drew Caminetti and
Lola Norris from Sacramento to
Reno. New. If the jury determines
that Diggs purpose was immoral he
doubtless will be convicted. If, on
the other hand the jury agrees with
the contention of the defense, that
Diggs fled to Reno not for the pur-
pose of continuing his relations with
the Warrington girl, but merely be-
cause he was frightened away from
Sacramento, the defendant may go
free.
Considerable interest has been
aroused over an admonition given the
Jury by Judge Van Fleet. He said:
You will not permit anyone, male
or female to discuss the case with you.
Remember it is just as bad to permit
a woman to converse with you about
the case as to permit a man. You
must report any attempt to influence
YOU made by any one-man or wo-
man..
Just what the judge had in mind
was not revealed.

According to the story. this
suggestion aroused Roosevelt's S
fighting spirit. Bringing his fist
down on the table with a bang,
he shouted:
IF l send the troops into
Pennsylvania it will be for the
purpose of manning the mines
and operating them for the bene-
fit of all the people and not the
mine owners alone"
Soon after that declaration had
been made, arbitrations were
agreed upon.
Only a few weeks ago Presi-
dent Wilson held a similar con-
ference in the White House. The
employees Of the railroads east of
Chica,, % and north of the Ohio
river were demanding an increase
in wages to SIT, 100000 a year.
About LOO, 900 men were affected
The railroad managers declared
that the mems demands were
preposterous and to grant them
would seriously cripple the finan-
ces of the great Eastern roads.
The labor leaders submitted the
issue to their followers and the
latter voted to strike. At this
point, President Wilson took a
hard. He asked the railroad
managers and the labor leaders
to meet him at the White House
for an unofficial discussion of the
Situation.
They consented and within for
ty eight hours arbitrators bad
been appointed and the men had
agreed to return to work pend
ing decision which should be
binding on both sides

PRICE OF WAR.
We talk a good deal about the
strangle-Eold militarism has on
some European countries. How
about our own peace-loving ma
ton?
Last year it. cost Uncle Sam
one thousand million dollars to
run this government. Of this
vast sum :, more than half-or
$3.50, 600. .000-was expended in
paying for past wars and prepar-
ing for future conflicts. The
Navy got SITS, 900, 900; the Army
about the same, and $3.50, 900, 900
went for pensions.
A good many hungry mouths
could have been fed and good
many naked babies could have
been clothed with that money.
Please remember the figures so
you may use them when some
lingo attempts to tell you about
the glories of blood-soaked bat
tlefelds.
