WAS IMPRISONED WITH RATS
Mother" Jones Tells of Experiences
in Colorado.

Washington, May 15.-"Mother'
Jones continued her story of the Colo
RADIO coal strike before the Industrial
relations commission and described
her nine weeks detention at Trini-
dad. She told of being carried away
from the strike field by militiamen
and of her re-arreat when she endeav-
ored to return. She was again held,
she said, for twenty-six days in a Gel
lar with sewer rats. She was releas-
ed after several efforts had been
made to secure a writ of habeas cor
pus.
Mother" Jones read a statement
reviewing court decisions relating to
the use of militia in strikes.
Under decision such as these"
she said, men, women and children
are deprived of life and liberty. The
tiendish horrors perpetrated by the
militia at the command of corporate
greed threaten the very existence of
our government. There are no rights
which the workingman can enforce In
the courts"

Prick Makes Pittsbure Happy

PITTSBURG. Pa. Dec. 24.-Joy pre- vailed in the hearts of Pittsburs's school children tonight as a result of the announcement late today by H. e.. Prick. millionaire coal magnate, that ne will pay in full as Christmas gift ell the accounts of the 41.000 children depositors in the Pittsburg Bank for savings which was closed here last Wednesday by order of the state de- partment of banKins. The deposits amount to S167136.6S ard payment will be made in cash just as soon as the necessary arrangements can be com pleted. which will probably be about January 3.
 In order to induce children to save. a school savings fund was started many years ago. Through an agree ment with the city board of education. bank collectors visited the l32 schools in the city weekly. Penny by penny the deposits of the children increased until they amounted to nearly Si7o.noo Then a few days before Christmas. am nouncement was made that the banl, had been closed and d gloom fell over the city.
 When Mir Prick, who is in NeW York was informed that thousands of chill dren were depositors. he at once com municatcd with II. C. McF,IdoWney. president of another local bank. and announced that he would take care O. the fund in such way that the school children would not lose d cent.
 MT. Prick, according to tentative plans. will pay the children the amount now on deposit, and when liquidatio has been effected. will collect their claims. Just what dividend the bank will pay each depositor has not been determined yet but bank officials claimed it will amount to about 5o per cent.

 The reserves of France still are considerable large" said M Ribot, we have negotiated d loan later than oth- CTS and at this time our resources are coming fresh and are well arranged, while the others already are showing signs of lassitude We will overcome cause we have the courage resolution and confidence of the country"
 This statement was greeted with ap- plause NJ. Ribot then explained that a real project would not be presented to the chamber of deputies It would be impossible at least as to military appropriations to give figures year in advance.

 "Is it necessary to establish new tax es?" asked the minister Great Brit ain has done so. but she is in a differ ent position than we. In France a new heavy tax could not be collected easily and it would be a heavy burden on the country. We would be living then on credit We have just negotiated a loan under difficult conditions.

TRY TO D|SPROVE LABOR MONEY

plosion of five years ago. CenteTed it's efforts today on attempts to disprove the charge that money of the labor [ unions was used as a dynamite fund in this city. and also to create douot as to the destruction of the Times ] building by dynamite alleged to have been purchased by schmidt
 Indications today were that the case may go to the jury before January 1. The defense stated it would complete ! the presentation of it's evidence Mon day and the prosecution announced there would be little, if any. rebuttal testimony. An effort will be made by some of the attorneys to limit the ar guments so as to permit Judge Frank
 F. Willis to issue the final instruc- ! tions to the jury next Friday.
 1 Andrew J. Gallagher. supervisor of the city and county of san Francisco: John Walsh. Benjamin E. Rosenthal and Paul Scha;renberg. all labor union l eaders of san Francisco testified that i they were members of the committee : which handed the funds for Los An l celes strike benefits which came from
 outside Los Angeles during the labor | troubles here in 1910. All declared
 that the money was used legitimately
 and none of it was expended to pro
 mote or induce violence of any kind
 George J. Henley was called to the stand and testified that he had had many years experience ir the use of l dynamite. Attorneys for the defense i propounded hypothetical question to bring out the point as to whether em-
 ployes in the Times building at the 1 time of the explosion could have been
 as close to the alleged spot where the
 bomb was exploded as they said they
 were. and still survive. The court
 sustained an objection made by at torneys for the prosecution that the
 subject was not a proper one for ex- pert testimony.
 For legal reasons the defense of ! fered the testimony of three other eX- ports along the same line and it was | barred for the same reason.
 | Olaf A. Tevitmore. secretary-treas- urer of the state building trades coun- ! cil. was in court today. but Thomas | Lee Woolwine. district attorney. an nounced that he would not be called 1 as a witness for the prosecution and Judge Willis released him from the 1 subpoena formerly issued. It was stated that he was to be questioned about the check for S1 .0OO donated by
 the Los Angeles strike fund but the defense stipulated that the check was | received by Tevitmoe and cashed by
 him.
