Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 21. The writing and circulating of poems" and songs threatening capitalistic parasites with the menace of the "sab-cat" and ''wobbly' are among the overt acts charged in the indict- ment under which the 46 alleged In Gustrial Workers of the World wera tried here for conspiracy.
 Several defendants were charged with having in their possession in Sacramento at various times, copies of T. w. w, Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent," among which was one written by Joe Hill, or Jos eph Hillstrom, executed in November 1915, for killing a grocer and his son at Salt Lake City, Utah.
 Miss Theodora Collok, the only wo- man defendant, gave an outline of her career. She was born in Balti- more, Md, in 1879 of a southern abolitionist family, established in America for at least five generations
 During the winter of 191a-14 Miss Pollok was executive secretary of the International Defense Workers League, then active in behalf of H. D. Suhr and Ricard Ford, later sen fenced to life imprisonment for the murder of District Attorney E. T. Manweli of Tuba county, Cal. For eight months of 1916-1917 she again worked for the league in connection with the San Francisco Preparedness Day .oomb case defense. Under the general indictment here Miss Pollok was charged with con spiracy to prevent enforcement of the espionage act, to obstruct the draft
 to violate the United States conStitu ton and to hamper war work. Overt acts charged against her were the al legged writing and circulating of d free verse" poem on The Soldier With the Broken Nose" and conspir-
 acy with Basila Safforge of San Fran
 cisco to send I. w. w. literature te Holland.
 Under the caption 'F31a Kitten ia the Wheat" the I. W. ". paper, Soli- darity, printed in its issue of June 23, 1917, the following, the indict- | ment sets forth:
 1 "A Sab-cat and a Wobbly band, l A rebel song or two;
 And then we'll show the parasites Just what the cat can do. | And have you fixed the where ant when
 That we must slave and die?
 Here's fifty thousand harvest men Shall know the reason why!

 A schedule of gym classes was pub lished recently by Mr. Stephens. which gives place for boys of all ages.

Mr. Stephens was in the United States service until recently, and while there he specialized in physical work
 Mir. Flynt, boys secretary, has evol- ved some unique. commandments which he wishes to instill into the minds Of his young charges With no spirit ct dissertation, they are:
 "Remember thy body Q keep ii healthy and strong
 Heed the voice of exercise in the days of thy youth that you may lay up strength whereby disease cannot enter and corrupt thy body and pow erty cannot freak through and make thee unhappy.
 Soften not you muscles, but, lift ur your hands to the trapese and make strong thy biceps.
 "Harken not to the voice of the cigarette fiend. but hasten thy steps to the " where you may hear good music, read good literature and in dulee in clean games and heaIthful exercise j. + Wine is mocker strcrg drin, raging. cool water re- freshing, and a hot shower cleansing purifying and enlivenins"

RETURN OF GAS
 MAKES ALL GLAD

Close upon the heels of the return- ing gas yesterday informing there came rumors to the effect that the gas would be shut off again today This 1umcr was emphatically denied last night by MT. Young.
 The statement of Mr Young. was that so far as he knew, there would be no more stoppages in the flow of the gas. He said that he had received no advices from Little Rock, or from Shreveport that such was even being contemplated, and that unless there was another break in the line. the gas would not be shut off. Last night at a late hour, he stated that he had been informed that the line was holding satisfactorily thus far
 That the commercial consumers will not be supplied With gas Immediately is a fact. Mir Young stated that the pipes were still under water, and that the company did not dare put the regu- lar pressure through the pipes until the line had been in operation several days, and had proved satisfactory. When a-thorough test has been made. ahd it is conclusively known that the line will hold the normal pressure, then commercial consumers will be supplied with gas

THREE PATROLMEN
 ADDED TO POLICE

In accordance with the policy of the police committee of the city council to enlarge the police force of the city, three new members have been added to the force, and it is stated that more will be added to the de- partment shortly. ,
 The report of the police committee was rendered Monday night at the council meeting. Alderman McGehee, who is chairman of the committee, stated that there had been, number of robberies in the city, and that the , people of Pine Bluff neded more police protection. He also stated that the shortage in the police force was due to the fact hat it had not been possible to get men. He stated that the police committee intended to give the citizens of Pine Bluff Whe police protection which they were due.
 There has existed shortage in the police department for some time, a state of affairs which has been highly detrimental to the safety of the city. In speaking of this some time ago, Chief of Police. Frank Stewart, said that to his certain knowledge, there were some of the most expert safe- blowers and second story men in the country now being discharged from the army, and these men are coming out with relatively lean purses, and are but looking for easy "jobs."
 1 With the addition to the new men to the force, and with those who will be added, the police department will he filled up to it's normal quota, thus furnishing ample police protection
 The new members added to the force are: w. H. Pollard, G. M. Gowins, and M. K. Waltz.

WI. SON IS LEAST
PROTECTED RULER
NATION EVER HAD.

Never before ID the history Of the
nation has the President Of the Uni
ted States been SO unprotected as has
President Wilson ON his present
European trip. For this reason. when
the chief executive returns the Amer
lean people will have occasion for
heaying i sigh of relief
President Wilson is the most un-
protected president the nation has
ever had
save iii rare instances when the
White House secret service men have
been able To give the presidents vel
fare the immediate attention that IS
the custom at home, he has been as
ungnarded ais the average tourist see
ing Europe The secert service men
have attempted to get III close touch
with. him at all times. bat European
parade arrangements and European
crowds have few thoughts 70 waste
on secret service men Everybody
wanted 10 see the president. and APP
parently everyone has seen him
An example IS given BY the ar
rangemerts iii vogue when the presi-
dent arrived III Paris. The White
House corps visited the project of POI
lice TO inquire as to the details Of the
reception and also to see that their
automobile Of carriage would be the
second III the procession. The project
Of police, With perfectly delightful
smile Of good fellowship, shrugged his
shoulders. and said ii was impossible
for them to- have the carriage, mas
much as 1t was already assigned to-
MRS. Wilson and Nine Poincare, the
wife of the president Of France, Then
he told them Il might be possible for
them to have the tenth or the twelfth
carriage which as tar as distance and
the presidents safety are concerned
might just as well have been In Wash
ington
And, anyway, said the project,
no. one will hurt him Why he IS our
saviour. Who would hurt him
The sentiment was there. as was hom-
age. too. for the president. but the
element Of precaution, in the opinion
ST the American men, was lacking.
But they could do nothing, and the re-
suit was that the president, minus
guards and seemingly oblivious Of the
fact rode through the greatest crowds
in Paris,sand in perfect safety What
the United States secret service men
suffered while the procession was ia
progress, Is, however, another story.
Examples without number might
easily be reeited. but each example
only makes more positive the state
ment that though the allied world adj
mires the president, and thousands
upon thousands OF people greet him
with Wild acclaim whenever he ap-
pears in public, he is still the most
unprotected president the United
/ states ever had.
