Movies at Idaho Pen

The Salisbury Wild Animal Pictures
which are to be shown at the Ma
jestic Theatre. Monday and Tuesday
are to be shown at the Idaho State
penitentiary. 1t was Mr.. Salisbury's
request THAT whereever possible that
these wonderful pictures for which he
exiIed himself for years to take should
be shown at the prisons and other
places OF confinement to those who
live in the shadow and never have a
chance to see the beauty Of America.
Last week these pictures were
shown at the Sing Sing Prison, New
York City and hardened criminals
wept and thanked Mr.. Salisbury for
bringing this cheer and comfort into
their lives. A ten piece orchestra
donated by the local musicians will
accompany this picture to the local
institution.

Washington owners are

The shipping interests are blaming

perhaps sufficiently large ship sub

San Francisco, Cal.-Under the
above caption the Evening Bulletin
makes the following interesting COM
ment.
THE superintendent of the Oakland
municipal woodward has turned in a
report showing that ii is cheaper to
give employed laborers a chance to
earn their meals than it is to arrest
them for vagrancy and give them their
meals for nothing. He proves his as
sertion in dollars and cents. The prin-
cipIe involved could be proven in
terms Of justice and in terms of social

oRCANIZE COMPANY

Philadelphia-The new state conf
pensation law is effective the first of
next year and manufacturers are pre-
pairing for the event by organizing a
casualty insurance company.
Thomas S. Lando, who favors the
plan. says that employers in this coun-
trv last year paid the casualty COM
panies more than S3i,O00,000 in pre-
miurns. while the losses paid by the
companies amounted TO S9,500,O0.
Unionists point to these figures as the
reason why opposition is shown
against workmen's compensation leg
isIation.

Denver, CoIo.--Horace n. Hawkins,
Lawson attorney, expresses these
views on the life sentence of the
miners official:
AT the very moment that Grandby
HiIlver former coal company at
torney. was, as Judge of the court, SEN
fencing John r. Lawson, labor leader,
to prison, was in the supreme court
arguing for a writ of prohibition to
restrain Hillyer from acting in strike
cases.
Gle declined to wait for the SUI
preme court decision, and in my aD-
sence rushed Lawson to prison. He
refused even to wait until could
reach Trinidad.
Gle refused to grant Lawson a new
trial in the face of the afidavits OF a
number of jurors that his, Hillyer
court baliff had coerced the jury into
rendering verdict of guilty after a
disagreement had existed for 40 hours
by telling them that Judge Hillyer had
ordered that they should have no
more food until they agreed on ver-
dict.
"The bailiff did not deny the charge
but, on the contrary, boasted of the
way the verdict was obtained. Yet the
court overruled the application for a
new trial and condemned Lawson to
prison fro life.
"If any further evidence was neces-
sary to convince the public of the un-
fairness of Judge Hillyer in the Law
son case, this would seem to furnish
it,"
Trinidad, Colo. July 24-Are GER
tain members of the Lawson jury
avowed Coal company men," or are
they just ignorant of the meaning of
an oath and their responsibilities as
jurors?"
These questions are being asked be-
cause of afhdavits, made by six of the
jurors, to combat former afhdavits OF
jurors, that Judge Hillyer would not
allow them to eat until they had reach
