INSIDE STORY OF LITTLE'S
SEDITI0N TOLD att ". Y. TRIAL

Chicago, III, May 24.-Activities OF
the Industrial Workers of the World
among miners at Butte, Mont, and the
strike and violence which followed,
eliminating in the lynching of Frank
H. Little, August 1917, were graph
ically described today at the trial Of
l12 Industrial Workers of the World
leaders before Federal Judge Lands
by three newspaper men. The wit
nesses were Charles l.. Stevens, A. W..
Walliser and Harold w. Creary, who
were employed in B'utte as reporters
when the trouble occurred Creary is
now student at the officers train
ing field at Camp Johnson, Jackson
vile, Fla.
Walliser told of an open air mass
meeting of miners in Butte, July 10,
at which Little, members of the gen.
eral executive board of the Industrial
Workers of the World, and others de.
livered seditious addresses. The wit
ness said Little attacked the national
and state governments and the capilis-
tic class and referred to soldiers as
"Unole Sans uniformed scabs,'' Per-
shing's yellow legs" and thugs"
Walliser said Little repeated con-
versation he had with Governor Camp
bell Of Arizona shortly after 1000 -
legged Industrial Workers Of the world
had been deported from Bis
bee, Arizona, in which the chief execu.
tive of the state asked Little what he
intended to do in the event the strik-
ers lost their fight. In reply to the
question Little said he told the gov.
ernor he would call strike of the
workers on the farms, logging camps

industries.
why you wouldn't do that while
asked Governor Campbell.
Little replied:
II don't give damn who your
country is fighting; am fighting for
the solidarity Of labor
The witness was cross examined by
George T. Vanderveer, chief counsel
for the Industrial Workers of the
World.
The questioning led to the lynching
of Little and the attorney dramatical-
ly asked the witness if he would pub.
lish the names of the murderers il
he gave them to him.
"The mayor OF Butte has standing
offer of a $4,000 reward for their iden'
tity which you can claim II you have
their Names" replied the witness.
Charles l.. Stevens repeated ex-
cerpts from Titles speech and said
portions of the address were nat well
received by the audience.
Little, he declared, said unless the
demands of the strikers were granted
general strike would be called
throughout the country which would
keep the United States army so busy
at home it could not be sent abroad.
Creary described an anti-conscrip>
ton parade held by the Industrial:
Workers Of the World on registration

up by the police and state militia az

Buds and Flowers in Cooking.

The French Canadians are said to
use the acid flowers Of the redbud, or
Judas tree, in salads, while the buds
and tender pods are packed in vine
gar. Honey locust pods, often locally
called "honey-shucks," contain sweet
ish, thick, cheeselike pulp, which is
often eaten. Those of the mesquite
furnish the Meyicans and Indians
with nutritious food. The Creoles
of Louisiana, famous for their cook
cry, are reported to use the young
buds Of the sassafras as substitute
for okra in thickening soups.

HIGHWAYS ON PACIFIC COAST
Interesting Figures Secured by Call
fornia Experts on Pull Required
to Move Wagon.

An energetic and influential organ
ization on the Pacific coast, the Cali
fornia State Automobile association,
has carried on some investigations at
fording definite figures of the value OF
good roads. It secured the help OF Prof.
j. B. Davidson of the University of
California and Austin B. Fletcher,
state highway engineer, in carrying on
q large number of tests of the pull re-
Quired to move q standard farm wagon
loaded to make the gross weight 5000
pounds. This wagon was hauled in
some cases by two-ton truck and in
other cases by team of good draft
horses, weighing about 1000 pounds
each.
Tests have shown that q pull OF -
to 80 pounds per ton of gross load was
needed to haul the wagon on unsur-
faced concrete roads. When the con-
crete was surfaced with oil and screen
ings the pull was increased to about 5O
pounds. About 65 pounds were needed
for hauling on water-bOund macadam
and on bituminous concrete laid on top
of cement concrete. On good gravel
roads a pull of G5 to 50 pounds was
needed. while on loose gravel the pull
was 263 pounds. the highest record in
any of the tests. About so pounds
were required for hauling on bitumin-
Gus macadam. On earth roads 81
pounds were required for hauling over

Natural Gas.

Natural gas is probably formed IN
the earth by a process of natural dis

remains of past geological epochs, and
is nearly the same product as is dis
titled from coal in the retorts OF gas

fires the internal heat Of the earth
aided perhaps by chemical decomposi-
ton, has caused its formation on a
magnificent scale.

Significant Feature Of Road Develop

nary dirt road with dust 3 inches deep

The significance Of these figures lies
in the fact that on a good earth road
lit is necessary to exert three times
the pull that is required on con-
crete road, and nearly twice the pull
required on q macadam road. Fur
thermore, when the earth road be-
comes muddy, a condition which does
not affect traffic on good pavements,
the pull is more than doubled.
