TRINIDAD, April 3O-Evidence for and against John R. Lawson, la bor leader, charged with the mur- der of John Nimmo, on october 25. 1919, closed. Tonight counsel for both sides presented suggestions to Judge Hillyer for instructions to the jury Tomorrow morning the court win deliver his instructions, and the arguments will begin
 Both sides have agreed to limit their arguments so the ease can go to the jury tomorrow night Unless the verdict is reached before the time to lock up the jury for the night the case will go over until Monday.
 The. closing of the case came with a promptness that overturned the predictions of attorneys and specta- tors. John Lawson, it was stated, would take the stand in the after noon, but was put on at eleven in the morning. the other witnesses having finished their testimony more quickly than was expected. Law sons testimony closed the case for the defense
 The state then called four wit nesses in rebuttal. James Wilson added details to his former testi- mony regarding the opening of the battle on October 25. Charles ONeill, a mine superintendent told of send ing guards from Tabasco and Ber- wind to Ludlow. pr. Ed Curry, the company physician at Hastings, said he and six more men were the only ones who started from Hastings for Ludlow on the day of the battle and that they got only as far as a high hill overlooking Hastings.

Counsel for Defense Con tinues Introducing Testi- mony to Show the Police Chief Was Not Visitor to Temptation Room"
MRS. SEBASTIAN
 IN COURT AGAIN
Greets Cordially and Shakes Hands With the Woman Whom Prosecution Wit nesses Declare to Be in Love With Her Husband
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1srArcHl

LOS ANGELES, April Counsel for the defense continued introduc- ing albi testimony in the trial of Charles Sebastian. suspended chief of police. and Mrs Lillie Pratt, charged with having contributed to the dependency of Edith Serkin, Mrs. Pratts seventeen -year-old haIf-sister. But at timcs during the cross-eXam- ination, the prosecution elicited a statement from the witness which had the effect of apparently pleasing the district attorney and proportion- ately irritating the attorneys for the defense, who were admonished scV- eral times by the court
 one of these points was the state ment of Mrs. Florence Wilbur. who conducts a lodging house next to DO lice headquarters, that William Mat uskiWiz, a police property clerk, had paid one months rent for the Temptation room" to which Mrs. Pratt is alleged to have taken Miss Serkin to meet the chief of police
 Another point developed in the cross examination of Charles Starr a witness called by the defense to testify that he never had seen any women about the apartment in ques- tion. Answering the query. Starr admitted he had talked about the trial after. he had received a sub poenn. with Matuskiwiz He said Matuskiwiz asked him if he eyer saw any women up there. He an swered no.
 Then Billy said: Well then, yoq go right up there and tell the whole truth"
 Mrs. Sebastian, wife of the accus- ed police official. was in court again. She greeted cordially and shook hands with Mrs Pratt the woman whom the prosecution witnesses declared to bc in love with her husband. But there was no such show of po1itencss among the attorneys who made acrid about each other or nutter- ed to themselves until Judge Wood warned them several times.

To Let COntY0Ct FOY Addition To
 Pioneers Home

Convinced that in carrying out the terms of the Parsons bequest it is acdng solely as the agent Of the ex- ccutors of the estate the board 5f control yesterday voted to advertise for bids on a contract for building the new addition to the Pioneers home at Prescott. The ny addition. which will cost approXima ely $2O,OO0, will be used as home for women pioneers.
 The boards decision to do the work by contract labor is expected to at once raise the question of the consti- nationality of the so-called industrial pursuits bill' adopted at the last general election, and may result in the fight over that measure being carried to the supreme court. The bill prohibits contract work on all state work, and provides that it must be done by day labor. Inasmuch as the board of control is carrying out the terms of a contract with the eX- ecutor of the estate of William II. Parsons, who left $4O,0O0 to the state institution. it is believed that the law would not apply in this case. The contract specifics that the work is to he done "by contract"
 The new addition, which will prac- ticallN double the capacity of the present plant, will contain accommo- dations for about twenty more in- mates. as well as adding library, dining room and infirmary. Bids on two sets of plans which have been prepared will be asked for imme- diately.

LONDON. April 3O.-After serious fighting in which the Turks offered stubborn resistance. the British troops, according to an official statement to- night, have established themselves on Gallipoli peninsula and advanced a considerable distance toward the mar rows of the DardanelleS while the French have cleared Cape Rum Kaleh on the Asiatic side of the straits, of Turks. Thus. it may be said that the second. and most serious attempt. to force the Dardanelles has been fairly launched. The Turks under the guid- ance of their German officers. placed every obstacle in the way of the in vaders but again the fire of the allied fleet and gallantry of the army they were forced to fall back. The British troop forces lost heavily in the opera tions.
 one Turkish troop ship was sunk by the British battleship queen Eliza abeth which is believed again to have been firing her big guns across the peninsu- la, directed by airmcn. The troop ship was sunk off Naidos. a town well in side the narrow. which later the battle ship Triumph bombarded and set on fire
 London was excited over a report during the day that a German fleet had bombarded Dunkirk, but this was found later to be an error but it transpired that by some means the Germans had brought big land guns within range of Dmkirk and thrown shells into it. killed twenty and wound ed fortv-fiVe

PHI4ADELPHIA, April 30. - Or sanized labor has been the wage earners greatest protection in the crisis that mas come to Americas in dustry and labor through the Euro rean War. in the opinion of Samuel Gomrers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who addressed the American Academy of Political and Social Science here today
 The initiative, resourcefulness and self-rcliance of the wage -earners ex- pressed in the organized labor move ment have been their greatst pro tection." Mir Gompers said. "Through organization they have dealt con structvely with unemployment. have made effective protest against eXces- sive prices. have prevented wage re- auctions that would have had cumu latiVe effect in disorganizing busi- ness, and nave demanded that con struc1ion work by municipalities and other governmental authorities. shall be continued and more undertaken wherever possible"
 Civilizations purposes and ideals Air. Gompers asserted had been ruthlessly reversed by the European war. The spirit of civilization had been to establish the sacredness of human life; in an instant war had turned the thought, the energy, the skill that had been to glorify life to the task of destroying life

Its Appropriation Bill Prac- tically Ready for Intro duction on Monday Will Carry Something Less Than $1, 100000
SINGLE BUILDING

That Will Probably Be Struck Out - Provision Made Only for Clerk Hire and Travelling Expenses of Land Commission

Though the house appropriation n!li had a long start, the senate bill of which little or nothing had been heard Is running neck and neck with Il. and unless the house bill is re ported today the two will come under the wire together on Monday, for the senate bill will be submitted then.
 The house committee has been working quietly and the two commit tees have been in consultation regard ing certain matters, but generally they have been working independently.
 Thou-h the senate bill has not quite. been completed it was stated last night that il would total not more than $1.4OO,0OO for each of the two ensuing years. That will be a reduction from the appropriations for each. last year and the year before, of more than S50O,00G-
 The senate bill contains tentatively provision for a single building but it was staied last night that that would IrobabIy be eliminated in the senate and it was most positively stated that the senate would consent to an appropriation for no other building than the one mentioned.
 The senate bill provides for clerical hire and the travelling expense of the land commission but no provision is made for the salaries oT the members of the commission. IL is supposed that matter will be taken care of in the land legislation which it is eN- pectcd will be enacted in the second extra session. on this point, 1t was said that the house anu senate bills are in accord. though the view of the house committee was divided. four against and three for, making provi- sion for the salaries of the commis- sioners in the general appropriation bill. Members are inclined to believe that the number of compissionerS will be reduced to one.
 The total of the house appropria- tion bill has not been made public but 1t is understood that it greatly exceeds the aggregate of the senate bill. in fact. that it does not fall far below he appropriations for each of the last two years.
