Before Grand Jury.
! Tens of thousands Of letters, checks
and other documents will be placed
before the grand jury at Chicago or
other grand juries which later may
investigate ramifications Of the al
legged conspiracy. -~a.
1t was intimated today that the
governments theory is that the al
legged conspiracy was entered into in
Chicago, although its operations ex-
! tended to virtually every section of
the United States. r.. =. 'r.-.~ -
In the light of reports made re-
! Gently to officials here, the-numerous
instances of opposition at widely
scattered points to the draft law
were parts of the general alleged con-
spiracy and were prompted by vir-
tually the same set Of men in almost
every instance.
Burning of wheat fields and at
| tempts to burn spruce forests in the
Pacific Northwest, it was thought,
| were but another phaZe of the al
| legged general conspiracy directed by
the controlling heads. Dozens of
sporadic attempts to cripple war in
dustries by strikes and acts Of VOL
| ence are regarded as a third phase
of the general alleged conspiracy.
Articles Published.
Publication of articles designed to
create anti-war sentiment or anti
ally sentiment were fourth phase,
it is thought, Of the same general
movement.
Indications point, it was said,I to a
group of men, considerable in num-
Der, who, constituting what might
be termed the executive force OF the
alleged conspiracy, directed all it's
activities through large number
of heutenants. ,>.-.
Department of justice officials said
today that the investigation prob
ably will be prolonged. United
States Attorney Clyne is to- be as
sisted by Frank C. Daley of Indian
apolis and Frank X. Nebeker of Salt
Lake City, and the entire investiga-
ton will be conducted under the per-
sonal supervision of William c. Fits,
! assistant attorney general, under
whose direction the seizure of I. w.
w. documents were made.
Where the money came to finance
the manifold activities of the move
ment under investigation is a sub
| ject which the grand jury will delve
deeply. Many evidences, it is said
I point to a German fund from which
money was lavishly supplied fol
work of the alleged conspfrators.
United States attorneys in many
! sections of the country were today
making a minute study Of documents
taken in the recent raid. Mr.. Fits
declined today to comment on the
Federal activities in connection with
the I. w. w. raids further than to
say that reports from all sections
were livery satisfying"

LycEum COURSE FOR CRESTED
BUTTE THROUGH LADIES' CLUB

Through the efforts of the Ladies'
Social Club, Crested Butte people will
have the opportunity to enjoy some
excellent entertainments this sea-
son, both musical and lecture num-
bers, as the ladies are bringing the
]. S. White Lecture and Entertain
ment company, who will give five en-
tertainments. The first one of the
courses will be Saturday evening,
October 9th, at which time DeJeu, a
magician, will give combination en-
tertainment of magic, music and i'm
personation. DeJeu is highly rec
commended by the press of the coun-
try as being above the average plat
form artists.
| The other four numbers will be CIV
en- at some date, not yet set, during
the months of November, January,
February and April. Frederick E.
Hopkins, one of the most popular lee
turers ON the present day platform,
who combines a great deal of earnest
utterances with large fund of hum
erous and entertaining, will be the
second number. The Hungarian Lad
les Quartette will appear in native
Hungarian costume and both sing and
play Hungarian music. H. V. Adams
delivers an interesting lecture with
enough humor to keep you interested
and anxious for more. The final num-
Der by the Osceola Pooler Concert
company, combines most happily the
variety of good things to make up
an exceptional program.
1t is not the desire of the ladies
to make any money on this venture;
in fact, if they make the guarantee
of 100000 required by the company
they will be well pleased. The club
is just social one, composed o. lad
les from the town and country, and
their idea in securing the entertain
ment course was for the benefit of
the town and to have something en-
tertaining and beneficial during the
long winter months.
If you haven't already purchased
season tickets, do so when the ladies
call on you. The price for the entire
course has been placed at two dollars
for adults and one dollar for child
rem up to the high school. Single ad-
missions will be fifty cents for adults
and twenty-five cents for children.
any two of the numbers are worth
the price of season ticket, and if
is the time to show it by boosting
this venture by buying tickets when
olicited.
