DENIES |. v. v. PLEA
FOR SEIZED PAPERS
U. S. District Court Refuses to
Give Up Documents Taken
by Government Agents.
OVERRULES QUASH MOTION
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 23.-The plea of
counsel for the I. W. W. for the return
of papers seized by federal agents in the
nationwide action against members of
that organization under the espionage
act was denied by Judge Lands in the
United States district court late today.
At the same time Judge Landis or
dered the trial of the 166 members of
the /. W. w. under indictment for al
legged conspiracy against the govern
ment set for April 1.
The action of Judge Lands came as
a result of a request from George F.
Vanderveer. attorney for the /. W. W.,
who said in regard to the trial that
1.-THE sooner it is started. the better"
Before setting the time for the trial
the court overruled a motion to quash
the Indictment against the 1s6 mem
berS
Will Guard Papers.
The I. W. W. papers which were i'm
pounded by the court will be placed
under guard. subject to the inspection
of District Attorney Clyne.
Attorney Vanderveer protested
against the courts action in refusing
TO return the papers, despite the fact
that Judge Lands had previously re-
marked that no possible benefit could.
in his opinion, accrue to either side
through their return He said it would
be useless ceremony" since the only
results possible by the return would
be simple retention, destruction or
loss.
Declares Warrant insufficient.
The warrant upon which the papers
were secured was an insufficient war
rant. as it was based upon a showing
palpably less than that in the case of
Henry Needer, counsel for Swift & Co.
whose papers were wanted in the pack
ing industry inquiry" said Judge
!. al dis- The warrant was issued from
Judge lands court before the court
Of appeals had held the Veeder warrant
to have been issued upon insufficient
evidence.
IF the property is now returned to
the thirty or forty custodians who pre-
held il. they will be in precise
ly the same position as before the war
rant was issued" the judge continued.
1T is my conviction that it would be
an idle thing to return this property,
for it would simply mean that the
property ould soon be retaken on new
search warrants.
Il am of the opinion that, in the light
OF previous cases. the petition for re-
turn may properly be denied

What Wiskey Did to This Man.

heavy drinker who reformed says:
An express package came for you

room

drummer had promised-a quart bottle
of their leading brand of bourbon.
You'd think, after what had happened
I'd have taken an ak to that bottle and
smashed it into a million pieces; but
| did nothing of the sort. Instead |
uncorked it and took a whooping big
drink
1T seemed to be Just what | needed,
for | felt better right away. Then |
hid the bottle on the top shelf of an
old clothes closet, and when my wife
got home everything was the same as
usuai-outwardly, at any rate.
The quart bottle lasted me about
ten days, and when it was gone or
dered two more. | called for them at
the express office, and sneaked them
home and hid them so my wife wouldn't
know.

profitable one--for his whiskevF firm.

CoLoRs THAT BEGIN TO WIN
Midnight Blue, Deep Burgundy, Tobae.
co Brown and a Silver Blue
The Mermaid Frock.

So far the buying Of French gowns
has not begun. They have just started
to make their appearance from be-
lated shipments. But as far as the
American fashions have run, and as
far as the season has settled itself
down into a broad highway on which
we will tread, the colors that will win
out are midnight blue, deep Burgundy,
tobacco brown and a silvery light blue,
asserts a fashion writer.
BY the way, there is q remarkable
new gown in this silvery blue. 1t used
to be called lake blue, and it may still
30 by that name, for it has n peculiar
simmer. of white over it like surface
water or moonlight. It is worth de-
scribing In detail because it is new
and most alluring.
The gown made in it is a mermaid
frock, and all the material used is
crinllled into q machine pleating that
Is finer than anything we have ever
known. It is q one-piece frock, with
a skirt that clings to the hips, goes in
at the ankles and knees, then spreads
out into a little froth over the feet
which is kicked aside as the werner
walks. There is a round bodice, with
a round decolletage, and two very fiat
pieces that extend below the girdle on
the hips. The sleeves are like fins,
very short and pointed at the back.
A woman with yellow hair could
wear this frock and pass for a mer-
maid. The gown is of so supple and
transparent a texture that when it is
in the hand it shrinks into nothing
ness like q balloon with the air out
Of it.

It matters not how plain our frocks

If buckles you choose, let them be as
large as yoar purse can afford, but
well made and not pasty looking at
that. AS there is q new silver cloth
which does not tarnish, but can be
wiped off with soap and water, every
woman halls the "radium" slipper, as
il is called, joyfully.
Again q new evening slipper which
can accompany any sort Of gown is
made Of flesh-pink satin. Instead Of
having a pointed vamp the top of this
is cut square across the foot and out
lined with q tiny band Of iridescent
beads reaching across the foot from
side to side. It is new and very pref

Strange Old Man in Missouri
Who Embittered the
Countryside.

Suspected of Setting Fires and De.
stroying Grain, He Is WayIaid at
Night by Angry Neighbors
and Killed.

Kansas City.-High up in a lonely
cabin, on an elevation in an overflow
district of the Missouri river, for more
than 80 years the mysterious "yarb
doctor" of Charlton county brewed his
medicines from herbs of the forest and
made prophecies to the country folk.
Who he was or where he came from
no one ever knew. He gave his name
as Sturman, but he never revealed his
true identity. His prophecies of death
and calamity came true so surely that
the people of the vicinity accredited
him with the powers of a wizard and
feared him.
1t is said that he predicted the pres
ent world war, declaring way back in
the early seventies that 'in the last
part of the first quarter of the new
century the harvest fields will be
stripped of their cleaners, as they will
be fighting 81 foe on a foreign soil, with
weapons not seen, before"
All of his remedies the old doctor
prepared in a room which he allowed
no II to else to enter. The gray,
weather-beaten house %struddlcd the
mound like IL drunken %hOrscnan, look

inson in a description of a typical

A South Carolina negro steps up TO

"Two kinds" They are placed be-
