Jahn's Trial
Postponed

Through request of ATTORNEY
Robert e. Evans, the trial If j.
II. jain, former manager of a
Puyallup-Tacoma motor bus line,
in police court charged with driv-
ing an automobile while intoxi-
Gated, was postponed for two
weeks.
Mrs. Ida Gormley and DIR. Net
tie Burling, who, according to
Attorney Evans, were with jain
when his car hit light pole on
Puyallup ave. last Wednesday
night, are in a Seattle hospital
unable to come to court.
jain declares that he was not
intoxicated, but that the light OF
an approaching auto blinded him.
He says the police probably
thought him intoxicated because
of his naturally dazed condition
after his machine had been wreck
ed. He intends to make hard
fought case of the charge against
him.

Tells Miners
Workers Are
His Partners

PRIMERO, Col, Sept. 22.-
The doctrine that workingmen
and proprietOrs of a business are
partners was expouhded by John
d. Rockefeller yesterday after
noon to crowd of sweaty coal
miners.
The speech came after Rookie
Teller had spent part OF the day
living the life of a workman.
Men, we are partners togeth-
er, said Rockefeller. 81 could
not get along without you, and
you could not get along without
my capital. Anyone telling you
we are not partners has been de-
ceiving you"
But he made no mention of
giving the workmen a partners
voice in the conduct of the bust
ness, nor a partners share in the
profits.

Finds Lake
OF Oil In
Far North

SEATTLE, Sept. 22.--North on
the snow wastes that form the
rim of America-far beyond the
Arctic circle-four oil springs
that flow freely into a lake of oil
have been discovered.
This is the claim of w. B. Van
Vain, of the United States bureau
OF education, who has come out
of the frozen wilderness of the
northwestern part of Alaska 20
sell for a fortune the stakedout
bounds of the springs of oil and
the lake they have formed.
Enthusiastic, bearing kodak
flashes of his oil center, Mr.. Van
Vain arrived from Nome on the
steamship Victoria. He is accom-
panied by his wife and little
daughter and in a few days will
go to Turlock, CAL, where he ex-

Subs 10 Give
Prey Benefit
of the Doubt

BERLIN, Sept. 22.-The latest
concession of German military
policy to American demands is
the order to submarine comman-
ders that where there is doubt
whether a vessel should be sunk
it should be allowed to escape.
Late advices, also, are that the
German admiralty will admit that
while the submarine commander
who sank the Arabic thought he
was in danger of ramming, he
may have been In error. The con :.
troversy could easily be settled
on this basis.

To Arrest
John D., Jr.

DENVER. Sept. 22.-with the
arrival late today of A. w. Bel
cher. general counsel for the
United Mine Workers, plans will
be laid to demand an Indictment
for John ID. Rockefeller, jr., who
is here to preach the doctrine
that owners and laborers in a
mine are partners.
In addition to Rockefeller, the
union miners want the indictment
OF a number of leading operators,
on charges of conspiracy in con-
nection with the deaths of 40
strikers who were killed in the
strike last year.
John Lawson, labor leader, al
ready has been indicted on a
charge of being responsible for
the death of strike-breakers
Neither he nor Rockefeller were

There were two sons, aged 10
