Between 10 and 20 local street

How does this zone work.
The commander of the line of

lions will be divided into two sec
tions-a base section and an ad-

competent to issue orders in the
name of the commander.
The advance section commander
establishes his headquarters at the
advance depot, on the rail head
Immediately behind the fighting
troops. Here he has under him
a staff representing the quarter
master, medical, engineer, ord

depot are attached ammunition,

Angeles and San Francisco for n
vacation before returning to his
job on the N. Y. World, which Is

Hears of Case.
Minor did not know Mooney
and his wife and the other de-
PENDANTS existed, and did not care.
He wasa bove all an artist, tho an
artist with a keen sense of the
abuses and inconsistencies of So
ciety, and with such a terrific
punch in the drawing of them
that his cartoons often appeared
in radical publications like The
Masses and The Blast.
But In San Francisco Minor met
a friend who told him about the
Mooney case. The friend said he
was with Weinberg, one of the de-
PENDANTS, at the moment when, ac-
cording to the charges, Weinberg
was carrying out his part of the
bomb conspiracy.
The friend told Minor. as one
man to another, that Weinberg
had no more to do with the ex-
plosion than a man in China.
Minor was interested enough to
make inquiries, and what he learn
ed convinced him that all the de-
PENDANTS were the victims of a
"frame-up"-that most hopeless
and hideous form of injustice
known to society.
Whereupon, instead of saying 1t
was ablankety-blank shame, and
letting 1t go at that, he hired an
attorney, because they hadn't
much money, and said he would
take two weeks of his own time
to help them.
He Is still helping them.
He has let the $4,000 job wait
If IL will wait-and is living,
they say, from hand to mouth.
He has dug into the details Of
the case; he has gone out ON
speaking tours to tel! facts that at

Striking street car men in Ia
coma declared Tuesday that they
would ignore the offer of Manager
Bean, of the T. II. & p. Co., to
let them return to work IL they
would sever affiliations with the
Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes.
The scale of wages announced
by Bean, which he said he would
keep in effect until Sept. /, when
an arbitration board could settle
on a new scale, is exactly the same
as the one in effect when the men
went on strike, they said.
Within Rights.
Bean wants us to give up our
union and return to work on the
old scale. That's all there is to
it," said Vice President Morgan OF
the strikers.
I'VE have no assurance what
ever that we will not be dischar6-
ed during the first week after we
return. That is undoubtedly what
would occur.
I'VE have the right to organize.
And we have affiliated with the
larger union of street car men in
order ito have the support OF or
ganized labor. Beans ADVERTISE
ment is simply a play for public
sentiment"
Up TO Bostonians.
Mr.. Bradlee and Mr.. Pratt Of
Boston, heads of the Stone-Web-
ster corporation, are in charge OF
the Tacoma and Seattle companies,
and attho Bean said that he had
no idea what action these men
might take. their present attitude
was one of determined refusal to
recognize the union.
These men are my principals.
Whatever they wish to do re-
gardfng the strike will be DONE"

Most Dramatic Figure In Mooney
Case, Says Miss Abbott, Is Minor

first could not be got into the
papers; he has raised money with
out which the Investigation that
resulted In States Witness Oxman
being now held to answer charges
of perjury, could never have been
made; he has written a pamphlet
accusing District Attorney Fickert
OF having undertaken to hang the
MONEYS and their co-defendants
by perjured testimony in order
to secure his own election as gov
ernor of California, and declaring
that the United Railways of San
Francisco are back of the prosecu-
ton in revenge for the organizing
of their car men.
Drops His Drawing.
He has ceased to draw pictures
at all; he has ceased to do any
thing but work for the freedom
of these people who are nothing
more to him than fellow human
beings.
Billings has been sentenced to
the penitentiary for life; Mooney
has been sentenced to hang, and
his life depends on the outcome OF
an appeal; Mrs. MONEYS fate was
I'm doubt today; Israel Weinberg's
trial will probably follow almost
Immediately.
And thru 1t all, Minor sits in
the court room all day long, tall,
lean, with hair thinning on top
and sallow jaw projecting. Some
times he takes notes, sometimes he
leans forward to whisper to an at
torney, but mostly he just listens.
All Reckon With Him.
He is rather shabby, and his
face is set in a sort of grim pa
thence.
Those who have been much in
the court room do not miss the
significance of the quiet figure.
The attorneys for the defense
point to him often as evidence Of
the convincing justice Of their
side; the court attendants, wheth-
er they think him mistaken or
not, look at him with respect; the
reporters, with their keen sense OF
the genuine, pay him the tribute
of writing simply and stradghtfor-
wardly whatever part he plays in
the proceedings; and District At
torney Fickert, in his closing argu-
ment, called him a murderer"
and promised to have him legal
ly incarcerated."

PETROGRAD, July 24.--Rep-
resentatives of all-Russia late
last night unanimously approved
delegation of supreme authority
to the Russian provisional govern
ment. Confirmatin of all meas
upres which the new socialist
coalition cabinet may take in
putting down mutiny at home and
in the army is thus given.
Russia will shoot down as trail
tors the mutineers in her armies
and the German spies in her cities.
Clothed with unlimited pow
ers," the new peoples cabinet
was prepared today to invoke
measures of bloodshed to stop the
rout of the southeast army and to
clean out the nests of German
provocators scattered turnout the
nation.
Premier Kerensky, arriving at
the front today, was expected to
order loyal troops without. mercy
to shoot down such of their fell
low soldiers who yielded to Ger
man propaganda and started the
mutiny.
Pin Hope in Kerensky.
The rigorous policy of repres-
sion of traitors and of German
sympathizers is the peoples own
plan. The all-Russia workmon' S
and soldiers and peasants con-
crosses formally approve 1t.
Petrograd is hoping that Ke-
rensky will again perform a mira
Gle at the front. With Tarnopol
gone and the Teutonic armies
pushing forward on afront of close
to 40 miles, the whole of the great
Russian line as far north as
Pinsk is menaced.
Turning of the Russian flank
may be attempted. TO avert a
disaster, the Russian troops must
be reformed, the malcontents
weeded out or shot and firm
stand made.
Not alone on the front is the
new policy of determination OF
undesirables, traitors and pro-
Germans to be carried out. To-
day in Petrograd strony forces of
special agents began a systematic
uprooting of the German spy sys-
tenn as we'll as a sorting out of
all suspicious troops.
Huge German Plot.
The first machine gun regi-
ment was disarmed. Four hundred
machine guns and truckloads of
military supplies were seized.
The regiment itself marched to
winter palace square and formally
surrendered.
Parts of this regiment we're
among those who participated in
last weeks rioting in Petrograd
The existence of huge herman
plot to overthrow the new democ-
I6cy by a counter revolution was
definitely proved today in whole
sale arrests IN the capital It was
German money that melted an
archists last week to treason; 1t
was German agents and proyoca-
tors at the front who led the
mutiny in the army.
Iut FROM out of tho shock OF
this German perfidy, Premier Ke-
rensky emerged TODAY stronger
tran ever. He Is now clothed
.rith all the powers OF an abso-
lutte rnler--a marx of universal
pubic confidence.

coast, where he has a staff similar
to that of the advance section.
These men are responsible to
the commander of the line of COM
munications (who in turn rs re-
spOnsile to the war department ut
home), that the reserve supplies
on hand in his various depots shall
be maintained between the maxi
mum and minimum amounts fixed
by Gen. Pershing. For instance,
a division t2S,334 mem must
have 400 tons of medical stores
alone as its initial supply. For
every million men on the front 3
thousand-ton refrigerating plant
must be maintained at the rail-
head. and storage tanks for mdl-
lions of gallons of gasoline at the
base.
What He Does.

back from the front so that the
force in the field shall not be

his command are the Red Cross
units extending from the battle
line to the base.

of the commander of communica-
lions Is the service of military
railways" The construction, OPP
Grafton and maintenance of the
railways within this zone he en-
trusts to an engineer officer MEM

This officer will take over the
French railways assigned TO the
American troops, and will assume
charge of all captured railways In
the American sector of the front.
He will also build new railway
lines when necessary.
Lake Regiment Going.
The work of reconstruction at
the railhead Is kept separate from
operation of the line. This is the
work for which nine new regi-
ments of engineers, including the
one at American lake, have been
raised.
