prescriptions of the I. w. w., Com
munist Labor Party in Chicago, where
financed by big business were hurled
in open court this afternoon while
Clarence Darrow was concluding his
two day argument in behalf of twenty
members of the c. L. P. on trial here.
This climax Of the long trial developed
thus: "Here are twenty men whom
you can put in Jail if you want to"
Darrow told the jury. But do you
think you can stop Bolshevism by
doing so? Does the states attorney
think he can stop Bolshevism by
these tactics9 Do those in back of
the states attorney think so9'
Frank Comford, special prosecutor,
jumped to his feet.
~ object, your Honor, to those in.
situations that there is something
back of this case',' he shouted.
These statements of Mr.. Darrow are
wilful malicious ugly lies"
Then Williams S. Forest, special
counsil for Williams Bross Lloyd and
DR.. Karl Sandburg, made his voice
heard above those Of Darrow and the
others.
''I object to that statement of the
prosecutor" he cried. "I know of my
own knowledge that Mr.. Darrow's
statements are not falsehoods. ! know
that this case was managed by Harry
Berger and was financed by members
of the Chicago commercial exchanges.
, And the prosecution knows it."
The jury got this charge before it
could be hustled out of the box. The
courtroom was in uproar. Judge He.
bel finally gained control of the 81.
tuation.
"I sustain the objection of the
state" he ruled. "But this court
will not stand for any more improper
language by counsel for either side"
This incident brings to the force
rumors which have been abroad for
some keeks. Harry Berger is a former
member of the states attorneys staff
Some months ago he left the office
TO practice law himself. 1t is persist.
emily stated that, when Maclay Hoyne,
states attorney, learned that federal
operatives were to make raids on
January 2. Berger was engaged to
plan raids in advance Of the federal
raids.
According to attorneys for the Wet.
inns of these raids, according to state.
ments made from public platforms for
several months, Berger tlen obtained
from big business executives here a
Z" slush fund" Of from $4,000 to
100000 with which to finance the
raids and subsequent trials. Thus, the
Chicago raids were made one day in
advance to those Of federal authorities
All this sweltering day, while the
courtroom was crowded with spec.
tators, Clarence Darrow fought for

ADAMS A SPEAKER
Kansas Hero Told of War Ex-
periences at Novelty Today.
Folks at Home Won the Battles,
He Tells Audience.

Mothers and fathers, wives and
sweethearts, sisters and brothers and
soldiers-these are the ones who won
the war, Sergt. Harry j. Adams, hero
of St. Mihiel, told the audience at the
Novelty theater in his talk this after
noon.
"Our mothers and sisters, wives and
sweethearts," he said, stayed up all
hours of the night knitting socks and
warm garments for the boys over
there. l remember when 1 was in
France my sweetheart sent me a pair
of socks and wanted me to know she
knit them herself. but she forgot to
leave the main entrance open or send
directions as to how to put them on.
So l put them away and have them
now as souvenir. But, bless her
dear little heart. she meant well.
''Wen L remember a little incident
that happened during the St Mihiel
offensive. 1t was on the morning of
September IL, 1918. Our division
went over the top at o'clock, advanc-
ing all the morning cleaning out ma
chine gun nests, bringing the snipers
from the tree tops. running the enemy
from the dug-outs and trenches
About 1920 a. M we were at the foot
of a large hill and the colonel. seeing
the regiment was somewhat scattered,
sent out runners to check the advance
for ten or fifteen minutes 10 partly
reorganize.
They Were From Kansas
so when the command came for
ward to advance, those men started up
that hill en- dead run. The colonel
came out of L. c. and said:
Major, for Gods sake stop those
men,
And the major turned around with
a smile and said:
Colonel, you can't stop them, for
they're froE Kansas
Tho ra nv
the battle front cannot be induced to
tell their experiences is because they
want to forget wars horrors as quick
ly as possible, Sergeant Adams de-
clared. Thru long association they
learned TO love their comrades as
brothers and then. on the battlefields,
they saw them moved down by ma
chine gun fire, artillery fire and
poison gases.
"Now do you wonder" he asked,
why men will not relate their ex-
periences.'
Sergeant Adams told of some of his
experiences as first sergeant of Com
pany X. of the 353rd all-Kansas infan-
try. He then explained the adVan-
tages TO be derived from an army en-
listment and how the army in peace
times differs so widely from the same
organization in time of war. He re-
lated an amusing incident of chasing
an eX-soldier. who had had enough of
army life in the war, for seven blocks
and bringing him to a new realiZat ton
of the army in peace times and how it
fits young men for the duties of civil
ian life.
Sergeant Adams is the man who
captured. single handed. SIS Germans
during the fighting in the st. Mihiel
salient. His home is in Sparks, Kan.
He will speak at the Novelty again

ried the brunt of the load of all cam
paigns of a civic nature during the
years he has lived in this city.
"UnaccuStomed as 1 am to public
speaking" was the way in which Billy
opened his response. He then de-
scribed Topeka as city of wonderful
cooperation. 1t had made possible
his success. he said. He pointed out
that it was a city that led, by showing
that Topeka outdistanced all cities in
the state in contributions to campaigns
of a statewide nature.
The only flaw he picked in Kansas
was the failure of the legislative body
to provide a state publicity depart
ment for the purpose of advertising
the state. That it was needed was
the only Inference possible to draw
from his statement that 5000 per
sons from Kansas and other states
had gone to Canada, attracted by al
Turing advertising of unusual oppor-
tunities offered them. He stated that
Kansas was simply letting the draw
ing of citizens to this state continue
by lack of interest Giby declared
that advertising and publicity were
the greatest known building powers
and that the people Of the state of
Kansas should influence its Legislative
body to remedy this defect in the eX-
ecutive organization of the state.
