Robert Diamond Found Not Guilty

Saturday morning Robert Diamond
was arraigned. His case cane up first
the Monday previous and Vas twice
adjourned to allow him to procure a
witness. He was cha red with driy-
ing by standing trolley last Satur-
day night without stopping and plead
ed not guilty
Officer Spencer testified that he saw
Diamond come up Front street at
half past seven Saturday even *
while a car was standing at Bugbee
corner ard that Diamond did not STOP
Diamond was fifty feet behind anoth-
er auto that came along
According to Diamonds story he
came up Front street and the car was
standing at the corner stop. Another
auto was in front of him. This car
came to stop and he pulled up be-
hind it and put out his arm for car
behind him to stop When the car
ahead of him proceeded he proceeded
Officer Spencer came from behind the
trolley ear and stopped him. Diamond
put the time at $50.
John Ryan testified that he was in
the auto behind Diamond. Diamond
put out his arm as a signal that he
was going to stop and he, Ryan. came
to a stop behind Diamond. He did
not know at the time it was Diamond,
but when the officer stopped Diamond
he saw who it was. He said that Dia-
mond came to the railroad station ard
asked him if he saw him, Diamond,
stop and he said he did and would be
witness to that fact He set the
time at $50.
Judge Geissler said that the facts
seemed to be conflicting. He said
that Spencer set the time at 730, Dia-
mond at $50 and Ryan at $50, and
that two witnesses testified that Da-
mond stopped his car and that one
said he did not He said that it was
necessary for the state to prove its
case beyond reasonable doubt, but
there was considerable doubt in the
mind of the court under the evidence
and he would therefore have to find
the defendant not guilty.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

One Of the most important changes
brought about by the war is the trans
fer of vital industries from political
management to business man
Much of the money for financing the
war program must come from these
industries, and the country has come
to understand that any regulation
which hampers the progress of these
industries, will invariably curtail pro-
duction thereby cutting off the reve-
nue. the government derives thru tax
alton and bond subscription.
Consequently the nation has dis
Outraged political tinkering with big
business, for a discouraged industry
does not pay the country any more
than it does it's owners, while expand
ing industry pays good wages, makes
good profit, and can pay taxes with
out embarrassment.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-10-04

The advantage of the popularity of
material combinations is increased by
the prevalent designs. Always little
touch of satin or silk is welcome in
just the plare where one may happen
to need it.
Coats and Coat Suits for Whit n.
Illustrated here are two charming
models for a winter costume. The
coat is developed in velvet and trim
med unsparingly with fur. The sleeves
are set on at particularly large arm
hole, which tends to give the likable
effect Of full at the shoulders and
narrow at the bottom. TIL coat suit
is elaborate in it's simplicity and there
in lies it's charm. The cuffs, collar
and belt button thru slashes and have
an odd little finish all then own. 1t
is pretty developed in twill serge, or
broadcloth.

RED CROSS BANNER
NEXT TO STARS AND STRIPES

When a wounded soldier is dying
his last words are usually, "Tell
Mother" A last message from a U.
S. marine who was killed in France
has just come to WASHINGTON, for the
greatest mother in the world" Pvt.
Edmund B. Rowe, of the 91st 90,
Machine Gun Battalion, L. S. Marines,
wrote from little village in France
on July 18th, Bastile Day, to an Amer
lean Red Cross official, telling him
that the soldier has learned to love
that banner as he loves the Stars and
Stripes.
"If you could only see," he contin-
ued, "the expressions of comfort and
cheer which your generous donations
bring to the dirty, weary counter
ances of recipients, you would feel
highly remunerated for your outlay of
time, labor and money. | want the
American people and especially all
members of the Red Cross to know
just how every soldier feels toward
your great organization"
The letter bore this postscript from
Lieut. Bower of the Marines:
ut is with great sorrow that | add
these few lines Pvt. Rowe, a mem
Der of my section, was killed in action
several days after he wrote this and
before he had an opportunity to mail
it. He was a fine soldier and real
man."

But again they must be most carefully

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-10-04

The decision that draft men in class
one will not be employed in the ship
yards is a fair one. The shipyards
should not be haven for those who
would escape military service. Piez
made this announcement in Philadel-
phia: "The shipyards of America
will no longer harbor men who are
seeking to evade military duty" This
taken along with Crowder's resolution
that slackers should be sifted out of
shipwork, ought to sift out all the I'M
desirable element and leave only the
good substantial workers.

All Skirts Are at Ankle Length
Waistcoats Appear In Fur Coats

They're here! Large ones and small
ones, high and fiat. In fact every con-
ceivable line is shown in some one of
the new imported hats. Satins and
velvets and novelty materials all go
to create some form of the latest
adoption of headwear. Probably the
most conspicuous characteristic of
these fantasies of fashion is either the
positive voidness of trimming or the
excessive quantity which some models
receive,

Patriotism Remodeling Frocks.

The modern woman is losing no
time in proving her patriotism by TAX
ing last years dresses and scruntin-
izing them, weighing their good and
poor qualities and hitting upon a
scheme to make them prescntable as
new garment for the coming season.
For does diminutive wardrobe not
mean more carefully selected one :?
When the number of ones frocks is
limited it means less changes and con-
sequently the one substitute for the
previous two or three must always
look neat and smart, and well made.

Tete de negre is one of the colors
most defended by the winter mode.
The neutral color is found to be most
