STATE RESTS
IN L.W.W. CASE
AT z O'CLOCK
CASE OF STATE AGAINST THREE
ALLEGED /. w. w. MEMBERS
IS PRESENTED
DEFENSE STATES CASE
ATTORNEY STATES THAT HUMAN
RIGHTS ARE PLACED ABOVE
PROPERTY

The state finished it's main case in
the district court at 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon and rested, but will probably
introduce lot of testimony in rebut-
tai The state has made a strong
case against the defendants, it is be-
| lieved by those who have heard the
evidence, but the defense seemed to
think the case was weak, for it made a
| motion that the case be taken from
the jury, or that the court instruct
the jury to bring in a verdict of ac-
quittal This motion was promptly
overruled and the defense made. its
statement to the jury.
Albert Streiff, senior attorney for
the defense, made the opening state
ment. He said the defense would deny
and disprove the claim of the state
that the l. W. w. in a lawless organ
ization. He said that the statement
in their book "the question of right
and wrong does not concern u.s." does
, not mean that the /. w. w. advocates
lawlessness. He said that what they
mean to convey is that human rights
are above property rights and that if a
laborer is in need of a loaf of bread
it is not wrong for him to take it for
food He made quite an extensive
statement along this line and then in
tTOdIlOQ6 his firct WitnQCC I9mpC
Robertson, who was on the stand when
The Star-Mirror went to press.
The state introduced many witness
es today. Pat Malone was on the
stand when court adjourned last night
and took the stand the first thing
this morning. He was followed by F.
w. Fosbery, J. j. Campbell, F. A. Rob-
inson, and ]. P. Donovan, in the order
named. All of the witnesses identified
I. w. w. literature and gave testimony
concerning the case at issue.
That the case will not end for sever
al days is indicated by the fact that
when the jurors who were excused
when the jury to try this case was
accepted, were told to report this
morning, which they did, they were
again excused by Judge Steele until
Friday morning at o'clock. The de-
fense has a number of witnesses to
be examined and the state will prob
ably have some witnesses in rebuttal.

to the ranchers with this loan is that
this war is war for all people. Di-
rector Lively said, "To be sure the
city man is getting big wages. De-
spite high prices he probably has
more money than he ever made before.
He has loaned much to the govern
ment but if he loaned all it wouldn't t
be enough. We are all Americans in
this war, city man farmer, and sail
or. Each man must do his part. The
war is far from won.
The United States government by
the establishment of division of ag
riculture in this Liberty loan shows
what it thinks of it's ranchers and
stock raisers. Buy the bonds of your
government and show the rest of the
country what you think of yourselves.

SHOULD BUY COAL
BEFORE WINTER
FUEL ADMINISTRATOR GOODING
GIVES SOME GOOD ADVICE ON
FUEL BUYING

M. E. Lewis, fuel administrator for
the counties of Latah, Nez Perce,
Clearwater, Lewis and Idaho, has re-
ceived word from from Ex-Governor
Gooding, state fuel administrator, ad-
vising that an effort Is being made to
secure a reduction in the price of
coal during the summer months, as an
inducement for domestic consumers
to fill their coal bins during these
months for next winters use. These
reduction in price are to be secured all
along the line. The mines of Utah and
Wyoming have granted reduction of
as cents ton on domestic sizes of
coal for this summers delivery. Ex-
Governor Gooding is now in Salt Lake
trying to get freight reduction OF
25 cents ton for the same time and
purpose. The fuel dealers will be
asked to waive rs cents ton of their
margin of profit for the same purpose.
The delivery men will be asked to
grant a small reduction in delivery
charges ALSO Coal can be delivered in
quantities during the slack summer
months for less than in the winter.
If these reductions are all secured the
coal buyer will be given a total re-
duction of about a dollar ton as an
inducement to fill his bins now, and
he should do so.
There will undoubtedly be car
shortage again this fall, and with it
coal famine, if these bins are not
filled. By moving this coal during
the summer months the mines can
keep working during their slack sea-
son, and the coal output of this part
of the country thus increased nearly
35 per cent. This helps the govern
ment, helps the war, and helps our
boys in the trenches. Watch the pa
pers and see when the reduction takes
effect so you can fill your bins.

IRISH QUESTION LAID ON
TABLE BY PARLIAMENT

LONDON = Premier Lloyd George
announced in the house Of commons
today that the Irish convention report
had been laid on the table. When the
premier referred to Ireland Alfred
Byrne, nationalist member from
Dublin, shouted, eve won't have con-
scription in Ireland" An uproar fol-
lowed. Premier Lloyd George declar-
ed the character of the quarrel in
which the country is now engaged
the battle with Germany "is as much
Irish as English"

There is a dearth of news from the
battle front today. A heavy rain, with
low hanging clouds and heavy ground
mists has interfered with the battle.
The ground, over which the Germans
must pass to advance, plowed up with
shells and torn into hills and craters,
soaked with heavy rain, is prevent
ing difficulties they can not over
come and they have contented them
selves with heavy artillery fire.
Reports last night were that the
Germans had given up hope of get

D. @. LIVELY MAKES APPEAL d.
RECT TO AGRICULTURALISTS
FOR AID
EVERY ONE MUST HELP.
NATION IN CRISIS OF IT'S EXIST
ENCE AND UNITED EFFORT
NEEDED TO SAVE 1T

BOISE+"Uncle Sam will knock al
the door of every wheat grower and
sheep man east of the Cascades with
a sheaf of third Liberty loan bonds
before April 27 in his effort to raise
$4,000, 100000 to win the war;" D. O.
Lively, director of the agricultural di-
vision of the twelfth federal serve dis
trict announced Immediately after his
appointment in San Francisco the 9TH
er day. Lively's post was created by
the treasury department at Washing
ton in recognition of the Importance of
reaching the men who run and work
the ranches and ranges of the great
northwest with the story of the Lib
erty bond and the necessity of lending
their savings to the government in this
war for farm-born American princi-
pies.
"The administration at Washington
and the men Of the nation who think, F"
said Lively, know of the tremendous
part the wheat growers and rang
men of. the northwest have played and
are now playing in supplying our army
and navy and our allies with bread
and meat. While prices are high I
know that these ranchers and live
stock men are victims of unprecedent-
ed labor and general economic condi-
tions which have not brought them the
prosperity the prices of wheat, cattle,
and sheep would indicate.
"But the point I want to make is
that prosperity or no prosperity the
United States government in this cris-
is of it's existence, il this attack at
the very principles of our American
life, needs money to whip Germany
and that every wheat grower, every
cattle man, every sheep man, every
rancher must join the workers of the
city and must help raise that money.
This government was fought for and
founded by farmers and now with the
military autocrats of Germany openly
announcing that they are out to de-
stroy the government which the farm
ers of the thirteen colonies bled and
died for, congress again turns to the
cool, conservative, stout-hearted men
of ranch and range. They will not
fail the government of the United
States"
The third Liberty loan bonds will
pay more interest than the first or sec
ond issues They will pay four and
one-quarter per cent That is the
highest interest ever paid on Uni
ted States bond since the Civil War.
1t is higher interest than the bank
can afford to pay. With the wealth Of
these United States-$250,00 ,000,0 ,000-
behind them these bonds are the best
investment on earth. They also con-
stitute an asset which any bank is
willing to lend money on at any mo-
ment In fact the security behind
them is such that nearly every mer-
chant in the cities advertises that you
can buy his goods with Liberty bonds
at their face value. Although the gov
wants the buyers to hold them
and realize the interest themselves,
'or all practical purposes they are as
good as money.

ting Amiens and were trying an ad-
vance along the entire 120- mile front,
hoping to find weak spots through
which thrusts might be made.
Lloyd George, the English premier
says we have now entered the most
critical part of the battle and while
there is lull at present the hurri-
cane is not yet over.
The sensational story of the day is
that of an American airplane, carry
ing II passengers, flying from New
York to England without stop. The
story is denied and seems improbable,
but it does not appear as impossible
as the story of Germany's big gun that
shoots 76 miles, which Is now an ad-
mitted fact.
The telegraphic and cable news re-
ceived today follows:

At Critical Point of War
LONDON, Tuesday-Premier Lloyd
George told the house OF commons to-
day that When the battle of the Somme
front commenced the total combatant
strength of Germany's army on the
western front was approximately
equal to the total strength of the en-
tente allies.
He said the man power proposal
made by England would involve extra
sacrifices by part, Of Great Britain's
population. The Cambria battle, he
said, was a very trivial event when
compared with the recent battle and
until the strain relaxed it will be diff
ficult to find out exactly what has
happened The premier said:
I'VE have now entered the most
critical period of the war. There is
a lull now, but the hurricane is not
over yet The fate of the empire, Of
Europe and the liberty of the world
may depend upon the success with
which the last German attacked is re-
sisted and countered."
