 CHICAGO, May 7.-An attempt by the defense in the trial of 112 leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World to bar from the rec ords tons of printed matter seized by the governments raid last fall met defeat today in a ruling by Federal Judge Landis of the third time in two days.
 On the grounds that no mater ial proof had been presented that the huge mass of evidence seized at various points in the country and forwarded here was actually taken from branch offices of the organization, defense counsel asked that all of it be thrown out. By our generous cooperation with opposing counsel we have saved the government thousands and thousands of dollars" said George F. Vanderveer. counsel for the defense. But in this case, witnesses should be called to sub stantiate the governments claim that the matter was seized at the points indicated
 T deny counsefs statement that this cooperation has been gener- ous," retorted Frank K. Nebeker. government prosecutor. This is merely move to compel ex- penditure of thousands of dollars additional by the government in bringing witnesses from all parts of the country on technical ground"
 Government counsel said the de- fense had played it's third and last trump card" in the battle to bar seized letters and documents.
 During the period covered by the seditious conspiracy indictment, from early in April to September l, 1917. the total receipts of the or ganization were s271,220.50, accord ing to statements prepared by R. M. Bailey, government expert ac- countant, and submitted by the prosecution today.

the politicians, the gist of which has been that the war cabinet has over ridden it's military advisers in matters of strategy and especially in regard to the military demands for men on the western front This quarrel has come to a crisis, which now is likely to be settled and the air cleared.
 Famous Military Authority
 General Maurice is one of the fore most military authorities and military historians of the war. He was recent ly relieved of his position as director of military operations at the war of flee, and it was understood that he was then being transferred to-an important position in France. No notice of an- other assignment has been issued how ever, and apparently none was made.
 It was rumored that when he was relieved from the war office position this was done because his statements to the newspapers regarding opera tions in France were substantially a contradiction of the premier's state ments to parliament, notably his re- marks that British success depended on the arrival of "Bluecher in time, , Bluecher being the French, and the possible reading between the lines that he doubted whether "Bluecher' would arrive.
 MT. Asquth's Motion
 The debate on Thursday will hinge upon a motion by Mir. Asquith worded that a select committee of this house be appointed to inquire into the alle- gations, or correctness in certain state- mentS of ministers of the crown to this house contained in a letter of Major General Maurice, late director of mili- tary operations, published in the press of May T."
 The letter of General Maurice was written to the morning papers in which l it appeared today. It charges Bonar Law and Premier Lloyd George witf | having made misstatements in the ] house of commons with reference tC military matters.
 Nearly the "lie Direct" l General Maurice recalls that Bonal Law on April 23 said the extension | of the British front in France was no | dealt with by the Versailles war coun- cil and asserts that the chancellor: statement is incorrect. He declared:

 Packing all her belongings in stripped red Saxon car the girl has dropped completely from view. Not a trace was left behind by the young woman. who may have been prompted 40 disappear by a lovers quarrel. Her friends stated yesterday that she was engaged td J. w.

instructions of Court

DOUGLAS. May w. c. Fitts, as- sistant United States attorney general, yesterday at Tucson issued for publi cation a summary of the instructions to the federal court in regard to in vestigations into the deportations of alleged I. ". w. from Arizona mining camps. It follows:
 "The court, in substance, instructed the grand jury that every citizen of every state enjoys also a citizenship of the United States and that this citi- zenship of the United States carries with it certain rights which attach to it, because of its very nature and as part of our dual system of government, and that among the rights protected by States, regardless of the laws of the States, regardless of he laws of the state, is the right of each citizen to stay wihin any state when he chooses to stay and to go into any other state and stay there or return from there as he chooses and elects.
 Violates Section 19
 That, as a consequence, when any set of men conspire together to forci- bly, carry one man or many men out of a state and by force or threats to keep him or them out of that state, this constitutes a violation of section l9 of the federal penal code, which makes it a crime to conspire to deprive any citizen of the United States of any right which belongs to him because of his United States privileges and inn munities.
 He further instructed the grand jury that when the people do an un- lawful act the law presumes they in tended to inflict all the natural conse- quences following therefrom. The understanding is that the court took and gave to the grand jury in his charge the conception of the law which entirely accords with the views of the government"

 Flying Over Lines
 Representative Anthony said he had seen a letter stating that during March the German airplanes flew at will and unmolested over the allied lines, talk ing photographs. General Squier re- piled that it still is possible for air planes of the enemy to fly over the allied lines and take pictures and that it also is possible for the allied planes to do the same work over the German lines.
 Anent Liberty Motor
 MT. Potter said the French and British governments, while they were satisfied that the Liberty motor is a good engine and economical in gas and oil, preferded the Bugatti and Hispano- -Suiza engines and at the re- quest of the French government the war department had cancelled two con- tracts for the Liberty motor, of 5000 each to manufacture instead the two French types. He said the Liberty motor is good for the heavier aircraft but is not adaptable to the swifter craft.
 Too Much Experimenting
 II llleTe IS any cT1JlClSlu lO Dc ludue of the aircraft situation, MT. Potter told the committee. it is that too much time may have been wasted in ex- perimenting of a new, single type of engine, taking up time that could have been used in getting better results from existing engine types. He said aircraft progress has been obstructed by lack of sufficient spruce. Members Satisfied Representative Kahn, California, ranking republican member, said after the hearing that Mir. Potter's explana- | ton was satisfactory. He added that he was satisfied no criminality existed and that while the motors have not | been produced on schedule time the | delay resulted chiefly from changes in plans and from refusal of co-be- | ligerents to agree upon them promptly Representative Shallenberger, Ne braska, democrat, said he believed the l explanation satisfied the entire con- mittee.

quite grown up and felt very important,
as ho was the only dog who lived at his
home.

fluffy white kitten To live in the house.
Her name was KITTY, and she took a
gn'at fancy to Ted
Ted however, eyed her with distrust
She was so silly, he thought, chasing n
spool across the floor and running away
from it rs II she were afraid if it rolled
toward her.
"She plays all the time thought
Ted to himself what good is she around
house? She will never be Watchdog
and take care of things like me"
But Kitty did not mig,l Ted's snubs
IN the least she always cuddled up to
him when he WAS sleeping on tho floor
under the table. and Ted was very much
upset when he awoke Ia find Miss Kitty
right under his paw, as II he were hugging
her. Up would jump Ted with an angry
little bark and trnt of to his seat bv the
window. WHO'RE he would bark loudly
at everything he saw in order To forget
how his dignity was upset by finding Kitty
in his arms.
Kitty would jump up beside him and
rub her soft fur against Ted's side in tho
most loving manner, and she would even
try to play with him hv tapping his ear.
Ted would poke his nose up high over
kittys head and sniff. and once he pushed
her off on the floor. but only once. for his
