and they had no sooner than gotten
thru the wire entanglements than
they found themselves facing nest

N inflading fire. He wrote thot no
one has anyone option as to how a
man feels under such circumstances
until he has had the experience first

prise had passed off, they got down
TO business and soon found them
selves in their first German trench.
Here they were bombarded with ev-

trench from nine o'clock in the even

Washington, June 8.-President Wilson laid aside the cares of state today to see the Democrats, and Re- publicans of the house of representa- tives struggle thru their annual base ball game, which went six and one third innings, and was staged for the benefit of the American Red Cross.
 For once there was no debate as to the winner. The official scorer said the minority representatives, had 19 runs to the of the majority party s players, and nobody disputed him.
 Besides the president Vice Presi- dent Marshal. Speaker Clark and many high government officials were gathered at the American league park and they appeared to enjoy the game The players liked it until the novelty of running the bases and chasing the ball was supplanted by weary muscles and shortening of breath.
 Officially the game was called on account of darkness. tho play ended long before the sun went into eclipse

 REFUSE 10 WALK
 OUT DURING WAR
Wire President Repudiating Leaders Who Make Them
 Appear Disloyal.

Washington, June 8.-Several thousand telegraphers employed by the Western Union Telegraph com pany in Chicago, Seattle and Spo- kane, wired President Wilson today that they would not be parties to any movement looking to a disruption of the country's commercial telegraph service during the war. They de- plored agitation looking to a strike of telegraph operators, and pledged their loyalty to the government.
 s. J. Kronenkamp, president of the Commercial Photographers union, an- nounced recently that he would call strike of members of the union as the result of the refusal of the Wes- tern Union company, tc submit to the jurisdiction of the national war labor board, which sought to compose diff ferences between the company and men growing out of the discharging of operators for joining the union. Some 5000 telegraphers in Chicago told the president that they were not represented by any labor leaders who had threatened to call a strike, and that they resented the inference that they might be "so base and disloyal' as to support strike.

Amsterdam, June S.-The discovery of plot to free the former emperor of Russia while he was confined at Tobolsk, to take him to Sweden and thence to America is reported in Ger man newspapers received here.
 Aocrding to the accounts publish ed, the chief. conspirator was Prince Paul Dolgorouki, grand marshal of the imperial Russian court of Emperor Nicholas, who placed S00.000 rubles at his disposal with which to bribe all the members of his guard.
 The plot failed, the papers say, ow- ing to the indiscretion of a servant, who divulged the plans.

Double Wells Affray Trial
 Interrupted
Two of the Prosecuting Witnesses Involved as
 Result of Testimony.

After hearing the testimony of a few of the 45 witnesses at the trial in the municipal court here of sev- en residents of Double Wells on charges of assault to kill, disturbing the peace and carrying pistols, the case was continued yesterday until next Friday at 9 a. m. and warrants sworn out by the prosecuting attorney for the arrest of Henry Bearden and Tucker Sprawler, two of the prose cutting witnesses, on charges of as- sault and battery. The affidavits Sprawler, who told of an attack on J. B. Murdock two weeks ago. He said Frank Gray and Jess Bridges were hiding in the woods, ready to lend aid in case Bearden and Spraw- Ter found Murdock troublesome.
 The continuance was granted at the suggestion of State Senator Creed Caldwell, attorney for the defend ants, because of the absence of Tom Murdock, one of the accused. Mur- dock was reported to be too sick to attend the trial.
 The cases taken up yesterday grow out of an affray at Double Wells last Saturday. when Henry Bearden was shot in the hip with a charge of small shot, and Garland Davis claimed to have been shot in the hand. Charges were filed against Lamar Ellison, J. T. Ellison, J. B. Murdock, Corbett Cherry, Cary Ellison and Tom Mur- dock. The Murdocks, Ellisons ct al. accuse Henry Bearden, Burley Gray, F. Gray, s. R. Reynolds and Garland Davis of being the cause of the trou- ble, and charges that the Grays fact ion drove Tom Murdock from home last Sunday night.
 The entry between the factions has existed for two CT more years, and is believed to have had it's origin in gossip, some of it over party line telephones.
 Many women and children came from Double Wells to attend the trial yesterday.
