DEATH OF IRA HUGGETT.

Ira H. S, Huggett, a well-known
newspaper man, died suddenly at his
home in Phoenix last Monday. At
one time Mr.. Huggett was city edi-
tor Of the Arizona Republican, but
for the past two years he was cor
respondent for several newspapers
outside of the state, and was con-
nected with a private news service.
Mr.. Huggett was extremely popular
among the newspaper fraternity of
the state, and his loss will be keenly
felt among his large circle of friends.
The editor of The Post feels
personal loss in the passing of Mr..
Huggett, and we extend to his be-
reaved wife and family our most
sincere sympathy in their great loss.

SCHOOL REOPENS,

The public school of Parker will
reopen on Monday, the 18th instant,
with Miss Gertrude Hamilton, for
merly of Wenden, as principal. and
Miss Anderson Of Tempe in charge
of the primary department. A
third teacher, to be assigned to the
intermediate department, will be en-
ployed this year. There have been
several applications for the position
but the trustees have not yet decided
upon a choice The school year
just past was very successful one,
and the trustees hope, with the en-
ployment of third teacher, to note
a much greater advancement.

rational conclusion is-if they didn't
evaporate-that some confederate
was on the job with keys that would
unlock the doors. 1t is not only
believed that they had a confederate
but that a local man knows more

deem it the part of prudence to con-

|. v. v. To Be
PROSECUTED
RAID OF l. w. w. HEADQUAR-
TIERS THROUGHOUT COUNTRY
THE FIRST STEP IN CAMPAIGN
BY DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.--The
government today took drastic meas
ures to end the anti-War propag ganda
conducted in the name of the Indus
trial Workers of the World, the So
cialist party and other organizations
throughout the United States.
On orders from Attorney General
Gregory, United States marshals in
many towns and cities descended at
2 p. m. upon local headquarters of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
seized books, checks, correspondence
and other documents, and in some
instances, arrested officials of the or
ganizations. The arrest at Chicago
of William D. Haywood, national sec
retary of the Industrial Workers of
the World, was conspicuous ex-
ample.
In Chicago federal agents took
possession of the national headquar-
ters of the socialist party and a war
rant authorizing the seizure of it's
documents was served upon it's
counsel
The seizure of documents was car
ried out in accordance with a plan
perfected here by William C. Fits,
assistant attorney general, working
under the direction of the attorney
general A statement issued by the
department of justice announced that
the seizure of papers was made in
connection with the federal grand
jury investigation of the l. w w.
now proceeding at Chicago.
The department action was taken
on the eve of the report to President
Wilson by Chief Justice Covington
of the supreme court of the District
OF Columbia, who was designated re-
Gently by the president to investigate
the labor situation in the west Judge
COvingtOn has completed his investi-
cation which lasted several weeks
and took him to the Pacific coast,
and probably will report personally
to President Wilson tomorrow
Whether the concerted action of
marshals throughout the country
was in any way related to Judge
Covington's investigation was not
disclosed. 1t was known, however,
that Judge Covington made special
study of the activities of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World 1t was
shortly after he reached the north
west that twenty-seven leaders of the
organization were arrested by Idaho
national guardsmen, the day before
the time set for general strike in
Washington, Oregon, Montana and
Idaho
For many weeks past the activities
of Industrial Workers of the World
leaders have been under close scru-
tiny Of the departments bureau of
investigation. Scores of field work
ers, chiefly in the west and middle
west, have devoted their undivided
attention to alleged attempts on the
part Of leaders to embarrass the gov
ernment in the conduct Of the war by
strikes and other disturbances called
in the name Of labor.
These activities have never been
regarded here as a, labor movement.
They have been held to be political
and, in some instances, conducted
with view solely to hinder or ham
per the government in exercising the
full strength in carrying on the war.
Charges Of many compilations have
been received by the department in
