CAPTAIN SPENCER
 GROSS EXAMINED
IRepubIi.an A. p. Leased wireJ

LONDON. May 31.-The greater part of todays proceedings in the trial of Noel Pemberton-Billi was taken up with a cross examination of Capt. Har- old Sherwin Spencer, who gave start ling testimony on his direct examina- ton.
 Captain Spencer said that he had re- ceived from Italian deputies and mem bers of the British embassy at Rome information about the efforts of the Camarilla to get Herbert Asquith, Joseph Caillaux and Giovanni Giolitti returD>s to power as the premiers, re- spectively, of England, France and Italy.
 Mrs. George Keppel, who was men, toned by Captain Spencer as the mes- senger between Germans and English men. was represented by counsel, who asked that she be given an opportunity later to give evidence that she had not been in Holland since the outbreak of the war. The judge granted the re- quest

 Annapolis Interested | ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 31.-Naval circles in Annapolis have become keen- ly interested in the Pemberton- Billing | libel suit being tried in London, | through the personality and local con- nections of Captain Harold Shermin 1 Spencer, an American midshipman, some years ago. Spencer was promin- ent at Annapolis.
 Some months after leaving the acad- emy he sprang into the limelight by marrying a countess nearly twice his age. After a stormy encounter in a New York hotel. the couple separated. | Spencer later went abroad as a war correspondent.
 His presence in England, his con- nection with the higher diplomatic circles and his title are causing some | speculation here.

OUTDOOR EVENT
 AIDS RED CROSS

In an ideal outdoor setting, Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Messinger last evening gave a delightful affair for the benefit of the Red Cross. The gardens that sur round their home on Third street and Myrtle avenue are particularly artistic and the west end formed a charming spot for the improvised stage where a clever program was presented. Hun dreds of electric lights were strung about the garden, and every small de- tail was considered carefully and tend ed to make the event the decided suc cess that it was.
 A well received program preceded the general dancing. One of the num- bers that especially pleased was that of Mrs. Dixie Washington Matthie who sang La Paloma and Golondrina in her usual charming manner. Possessed of voice of rare quality, Mrs. Matthie is always a favorite on any program. Combining power and natural sweet ness, her carefully trained voice is de- lightful. Her accompanists last even- ing were Mrs. c. A. Morley, Mrs. J. W. Roebuck and Miss Mary Lewis, and the stringed orchestra was in itself a de- light,
 Miss Georgia Mintz in the Dance of the Bluebirds" furnished another inter- eSting feature. Miss MlntZ IS not only a graceful dancer, but can always be relied upon to give a clever and orig inal interpretation.

R. R. BOARD TO HEAR

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Claims of machinists and other railroad shop men for higher wages than were all lowed by Director General McAdoo's recent order, is one of the first ques- tons to be considered by the board of railroad wages and working con- ditions when it meets here tomorrow for the first time since its creation.
 Hearings may be held and wage scales for machinists in other indus tries analysed. in an effort to make recommendations for the modification of the wage order at the earliest pos- sible moment.
 News of the strike of the Rock Island shOpmen was received today at the railroad administration with evident disappointment. It had been believed all employees would heed Director General McAdoos promise yesterday that further increases in wages might be made on recommen- dation of the new wage board.

LIMITED SERVICE
 MEN MAY EXPECT
 GALL TO COLORS

Opportunity. anxiously awaited by many, at last has arrived for the Tim tied service" man to serve his country.
 The limited service" man is the registrants in class 1 who has been de- clared by the examining physicians not physically qualified for active, general and unlimited service in the ranks. In only some minor respects is he not physically perfect.
 In the call received yesterday at the office of the adiutant general these limited service men may enroll for government duty in any one of a long list of vacations, the announcement be- ing made that the nation is in urgent need of skilled men.
 We expect q ready and wide re- sponse to this call in Arizona" said 9pionel Charles w. Harris, adiutant general. yesterday. This office has received scores of inquiries in the past few months from these limited service men asking when they were to have m opportunity to get into the service There are 412 class 1 limited service men in the state. and we estimate that at least l50 of these will enroll for duty with the government in their particular vocation under this call
 Tt will be a splendid chance to serve the nation and at the same time continue in their own line of work. By this call, voluntary enrolment is asked. but if an insufficient number of men come forward in thls limited serv- ice class to supply the needs of the government, inductions will be made forcibly. But I believe this will not be necessary in Arizona
 The call is as follows:
 The military aeronautics branch is in need of certain skilled men. Men qualified for special or limited military servce only will be accepted under this call. Men qualified for general mili- tary service are not desired for this service.
 Repeated requests have been re- ceived at this office for an opportu- nity for limited service men to enter the service. These men will be en- gagged in spruce production work for deroplanes, which is interesting and hcalthtul work and if properly present ef should appeal strongly to qualified rtgistrants.
 Locomotive engineers. firemen, rail- road grade foremen, railroad track loremen, wooden bridge carpenters, locomotive repairmen, telephone line men, surveyors or railroad instrument men, telegraphers, draftsmen, pile driver foremen, stationary engineers Tor donkey engines, steam shovel oper- atOrs. carpenters. steam filters, elec- tricians, auto mechanics, auto drivers cooks, clerks, railroad brakemen, U>-i road conductors and a large number of laborers.
 Technically qualified registrants should present themselves to their lo- cal boards for listing. If sufficient number of volunteers are not secured involuntary induction will be used. On June . wire this office the number oi qualified volunteers listed in each ot the above occupations which we may expect from your state. Upon receipt of this information we will make defi- mite allotments and advise complete mobilization details.
 These registrants are not to be in- ducted until orders are received as tC allotments, and that only white limited service men are to be considered.

DEFENSE RESTS IN
 TRIAL IF Il MEN
 ON LYNCH CHARGE

EDWARDSVILLE.I H., May 31.-The defense tonight rested its case in the trial here of eleven men charged with the lynching of Robert Paul Prager, alleged German spy, at Collinsville, April 5. after all the defendants had testified in their own behalf. The case goes to the jury tomorrow
 Arguments will begin tomorrow. A verdict is expected before night.
 All of the defendants denied partici- patton in the tragedy. Much interest had attached to the testimony of Jo- seph Riegel, a young coal miner and cobbler, who was reported to have made a confession at the coroner's in- quest that he was the leader of the mob, and who, prior to his appearance before the jury, was quoted as having made a complete confession to a St. Louis newspaper man. Riege1 was the last of the eleven defendants to take the stand. He flatly repudiated all statements previously attributed to him, and described himself as the one person in the crowd who counselled calmness. He asserted he did not touch Prager. did not touch the rope with which the man was hanged, and did not see the lynching until the body had been lifted from the ground. On the way back from the scene of the tragedy he said some one handed him the fare well note of Prager, which he delivered to the office of a Collinsville news- paper.
 Prior to Riegers testimony, clash occurred between counsel over disloyal remarks alleged to have been made by Prager. The defense sought to pre- sent the testimony of Thomas Holt who was said to have heard Prager make remarks derogatory to the gov ernment and to President Wilson. The prosecution objected to the jury hear ing such testimony. Judge Berne Reuter- refused to allow Holt's testi- mony to be given. He declared that even though it was'shown conclusively that Prager was a spy, this would not afford provocation for lynching him. Charles Cramer. one of the defen- dants, admitted being at the scene of the hanging. He also said he had made notations at the top of the paper upon which Prager had penned farewell note to his parents in Germany.

BASTARD HUN WITH DEL|BERAT|ONSETs
 FIRE ID HOSPITAL

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 31.-Early Thursday morning German airmen bombed an other hospital-this time a Canadian institution-and exacted a considerable toll of casualties. Among those killed by the explosion or flames was an American medical officer who was ad- ministering an anaesthetic to a British officer in the operating room. The raid occurred At 12:30 o'clock in the morn- ing.
 Marked with Red Cross
 The hospital attacked was a large one and was marked by huge Red Cross sign. The German airmen, work ing partly by the light of the moon, dropped four bombs near the hospital and then, not apparently able to see exactly where they were hitting, lighted a brilliant flare to illuminate the sur roundings.
 As the place was lighted up by this flare, they dropped another bomb or two which dropped squarely on a large wing of the hospital. Part of the wing was demolished and many persons were killed or wounded when the building collapsed and buried them. The de- molished wing caught fire and burned fiercely. with many victims still pinned in the wreckage.
 The Worst on Record
 Nothing more awful has occurred in the annals of the hospital service since the war began. Every available person in the neighborhood was called out to assist in the rescue work. With the assistance of ladders and other fire apparatus, the hospital proper was promptly emptied of patients and per- sonnel. It was a desperate situation A roaring furnace represented what was left of the big wing.
 Many unconscious forms were car ried out by heroic men who risked theil lives to reach them. Excellent work on the part of the firemen finally re- suited in the fire being extinguished but there were still many victims, in cluding more than one sister, buried in the ruin. There was no hope tha they were alive.

GRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO. May 31.-Burning of threshinS machines in the harvest fields of Washington and Montana by Industrial Workers of the World was taken up by the government late today at the trial of 112 leaders and organizers for seditious conspiracy be- fore federal Judge Landis.
 Chief Prosecutor Nebeker sought to show that destruction of machin- cry and numerous fires in these grain regions were direct results of teach ings of officers of the organization and that sabotage was practiced for the purpose of blocking the war pro- gram as well as for injuring em- ployers.
 J. N. Banks. a farmer of Canyon, Washington, testified fires were num- erous in his district and that on one occasion a threshing machine was de- stroyed immediately after an I. w w. had filled it with grain. On this and other occasions. the prosecution charged, l. w. W. members had hid den matches in the grain.
 Other witnesses had testified that I. W. w. gunmen patrolled freight trains and prevented other than mem- bers stealing rides. Two boys from 4NOIln W ttSlllltN they were put from a train by a gunman with an l. w. W. card and compelled to walk 50 miles.
 I. W. W. bulletins declaring that last summer was the most opportune time in history for the organization to come into power and defy tht established laws were read into the records. They told of expulsion from the organization of members whC | had joined the British army.

 The Mexican was shot after he at tackled Chisholm with water bucket, claims the defense, while the state al- leges that the white man was the ag- gressor. These facts developed at the preliminary hearing where testimony was given by ranch hands who wit messed the shooting of Comache who lived several hours after he had been shot. The testimony was conflicting and the defendant was held to answer to the superior court
