Ruth Leslie and Emma Brambach,
union waitress pickets arrested on a
charge of lettering before Knab res
taurant, were found not guilty by a
jury in the court presided over by
Judge Scott, yesterday, and in the
same court Mary Mcnamara was lat
er tried on the same charge before a
second jury and also acquitted.
This makes five acquittals of un-
ion pickets arrested on this charge
during the ten days in which 1913 ar
rests were made after the union pick
cts had patroled the Knab restaurants
for sixty-three days under the right
given them by the ruling of Judge
Windes and not one arrest had been
made.
In his address to both juries Hope
Thompson, attorney for the wait
resses, directly charged conspiracy
on the part of Knab to bring about
the arrest of the union pickets, aided
by the police, in order that he might
break the strike. ...
Gentlemen of the jury" Mr.
Thompson said, behind this charge
lies what is equal to tragedy, the
fight of these girls to get better work

their sisters. They are wonderfully
brave girls. The soldiers in Europe
who are laying down their lives for
their country are not performing

ing conditions for your girl and mine

! Dudley Taylor, who claims to be
the attorney for Knab and as such
will have the task of defending non
union mattresses arrested at this
time, was conspicuous through his
efforts to help the city prosecutor Sc
cure the conviction of union pickets.
When Judge Olson suggested that
in all probability the cases would
eventually be thrown out of court,
Dudley Taylor pleaded with him that
the girls should be tried and that the
girls he is supposed to defend should
be found guilty and fined.
Taylor placed on the witness stand
May Smith, strikebreaker who act
ed as picket and carried toy nan
nygoat, which she squeaked in the
ear of the union picket, to testify
that she had acted in direct violation
of the orders she had received from
Officer Tobin in order that her testi-
mony might add its weight against
the picket.
May Smiths testimony, however,
was limited entirely to her memory
Of what she stated Officer Tobin had
said when he ordered the girls from
the street She could remember abso-
lutely nothing else, not even the name
of the man who sent her on the street
to do picket duty.

lation of which these girl were ar

LEFT BEHIND IN LIFE'S RACE
AInus Of Northern Japan Furnish an
object Lesson to Peoples Who
Refuse to Progress.

II one were to go among the Ainus
on the island of Hokkaido, In northern
Japan, he would find himself In a
stage of departure from pure savagery
which parallels the condition of our
race as it existed 1000 years ago, and
shows in practice how surely the saw
age is destined to elimination by any |
other branch of the human species |
which advances beyond his stage of
cooperation. says the Philadelphia
North American. The Anus, COM
monty believed to be lost branch of
the whites, have been subject to the
more progressive Japanese for ages,
and their level, without making close
distinction, corresponds to that of
some aborigines of Australia. who
have been attributed, in their origin,
to tribes Of adventurers from ancient
Chaldea.
The Anus were on their island long
before the Japs arrived. and they pre-
serve their original savage customs
and superstitions, with fidelity that
is strong evidence of their purity of
race and also Of the fatal conse-
quences OF both customs and super
Rtitions. Yet 80 strong Is the influence
OF example that they conform in some
measure to the more modern life
around them. The men pride them
selves on being hunters and leave the
women to raise the rude crops which
eke out their subsistencei But when
It is absolutely necessary the men will
condescend to take turn at scratch
ing the surface OF the soil. Their wor-
ship of the bear is probably the trait
which has made them most widely
known; but. the bears they catch as
cubs and rear as deities fare no bet
ter, II as well, as the bears we happen
to capture in this country. It is the
luck Of our bears, very often, to end
in comfort, II not in freedom, in a
circus or q zoo. But the bears Of the

Long time ago the mole was big
animal who lived on top Of the ground
and walked and talked with all the
other animals; and the story Of how
he came to change his shape and go
to live underground is what the old
men used to tell to the little children
as they walked across the young corn
fields late on the sunny afternoons and
saw where the mole had been at work
throwing the earth up in ridges which
the little boys liked to trample upon.

AsIATIc ART IS DISPLAYED
City Of Cologne, Germany, Erects
Splendid Structure for Proper
Display Of Treasures.

Appreciation of Asiatic art, litera-
ture and music is growing apace In
this country, but not SO rapidly as in
Europe, and In certain respect the
city of Cologne, Germany. leads the
Occidental world. This enviable pre-
eminence is represented by O magnif-
cent museum Of Eastern art which
was recently opened there.
The basis of the display Is the won
derful collection of East Asiatic art
which Prof. Adolf Fischer gave to the
city Of Cologne four years ago. on con-
dition that suitable building be erect
ed and donated by the municipality.
The new building is near the Arts and
Crafts museum. It is a splendid
structure, four stories high. containing
80 exhibition rooms. The architect
was Herr Franz Brantsky.
A distinctive feature Of the new mu-
scum was put in by Japanese car.
penter. In the form Of three character
istic rooms or a Japanese monastery.
In these rooms q magnificent collec
tion of Janpanese arts and curios Ia
housed.
The historic development Of Chinese
and Japanese painting from the dawn
OF history to the present day is clearly
depicted by the museum. due to the
most excellent arrangement Of the
hundreds Of subjects. Only one or two
ancient collections in China and Japan
surpass the display at Colognei
Worthy Of special mention is the COLI
lection Of Chinese stone sculptures
German artists are now considering
the advisability Of building and equip
ping q similar museum in Berlin.
