The taking of testimony began
Tuesday, Monday being spent in se-
lecting jury. After proving both
men members of the I. w. W., Attor-
ney General l.. l.. Thompson and
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas l..
O'Leary devoted the states case to
presentation of documents, books
and other I. w. w. literature, bearing
out their contention that it advo-
Gates doctrines in opposition to the
American form of government, that
it is seditious, favors the overthrow
of the government by force and the
substitution of form of communism,
and deliberately advocates sabotage
in industry.
The conviction makes the men
liable to sentence Of from one to
ten years in the state penitentiary.
Hestings, the evidence shows, had
been an organizer attached to the Ta-
coma headquarters, and Matson was
employed at Bordeaux logging
camp. The former is in the county
jail and the latter out on bail. pend

CHAMBER WILL VOTE
ON HARB0R PROJECT
SHIP REFERENDUM ON PORT
DISTRICT PLANS.

Trustees of the Chamber of Com
merce. meeting at the Mitchell Tues
day noon, decided that before the
Chamber should take up an active
campaign in behalf of the establish
ment of port district for Olympia
or Thurston county, a referendum
should be taken among the member
ship of the organization, and the Sec
retary of the chamber was instructed
| to prepare data and submit it to the
membership in order that they might
have comprehensive dea of the ques.
ton to be voted upon.
| 1t was felt that the question of har-
Dor development, comprising as it did
a question of so much Importance to
the entire community was one that
should not be decided by the trustees
alone, and it was for this reason that
the referendum was requested
The trustees at the same meeing
indorsed the plan of Miss Gertrude
Marsland for the raising of the quota
of the national drive for the Y. w. c.
A. in Thurston county in the sum of
$470. 1t is contemplated that, rather
than conduct drive for individual
subscriptions, each organization in
the county will be asked to contrib
ute, thus doing away with the neces-
sity for an extensive drive and a
house-to-house canvass
President Fred w. Stocking was
authorized to appoint committee
for the membership drive and annual
banquet of the Chamber. which will
be held some time next month.
The trustees instructed Secretary
HsB. Fultz to accept the invitation OF
the Association of Commercial Secre.
taries of Washington to address them
upon "A Day With the Secretary" at
the meeting of the secretaries in Bel
lingham on March 81 and 2S.

VETERANS ESTABLISH
EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
EX.SERVICE MEN OPEN BUREAU
TO FIND JOBS FOR THEIR
"BUDDIES.'

Further evidence that ex-service
men of Olympia propose to look after
their "buddies" is to be seen in the
opening this week of an employment
bureau at the city hall under the
auspices of Alfred William Leach
Post, No. 3, of the American Legion,
and Ira L. Cater Camp, Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
Onno Hendrickson, former serv-
ice man and a member of the fire de-
partment, will have charge of the bu-
reau. which will be located in the
Office of the fire departments head
quarters on the first floor of the city
hall.
The purpose of the bureau is to OBJ
tain employment for all the unem-
|ployed ex-service men. Circular let.
ters have been sent out to every busi-
ness firm in Thurston and Mason
counties, requesting that these COM
|panies and firms list with the bureau
any position they may have open. All
|ex-service men out of job are in
vited to call on Mr.. Hendrickson at
the city hall or send in their names
land the kind of work they want and
apply for job. All services extend
ed ex-service men and all services ten
dered. the business concerns will be
done free of charge.
The employment bureau will vouch
for every eX-service man it sends out
on job. With the list from the. COM
panies of Mason and Thurston coun-
ties, telling the positions they have
open and the applications of the ex-
service men on hand. it is thought
that there will not be an unemployed
ex-service man in either one of these
counties.

LARGEST ON RECORD
TOTAL IMPROVEMENTS COST
$24O,OOO-BIG SIDEWALK

ming to plan further municipal i'm
provements for 1920. and one large
project, the construction of concrete
sidewalks on all the streets on the
Eastside south of Fourth, will cost
$4,000.
Final action on this improvement,
the largest sidewalk job to be under
taken as unit for many years, prob
badly will be taken by the council at
its regular meeting next Tuesday
and bids called for to be opened next
month. This means that the work
will start early in the season and be
gotten out of the way quickly.
Though it IS usually March or
April before owners begin to inaugu-
rate desired improvements, a petition
has already been filed for the paving
of Nineteenth street from Main to
Water. and others are in contempla-
'tion.
The exact figures on the total cost
of the improvements undertaken last
year are $239,929.11, according to
the annual report of City Engineer
Ray F. Wood. The largest single
project was the big Westside i'm
provement which is just being COM
pleted. The contract price on it is
$11S,725.77.
The next largest was the Puget
street paving, on the Eastside, COM
pleted last summer at cost of $685.

Westside job, the grading and grav-
elling of Farragut and West Bay av-
enues at cost of s23,795.3S.

Raymond now holds the league
field undisputed, having won the
game from South Bend last Friday.
A week from tomorrow Olympia
goes to Chehalis to put up a strong
fight.
A side issue at the high school is
the bush league that has been formed
by six teams to enable those who did
not succeed in making either the first

play basketball, to have their share
of the sport. The teams comprising
the bush league are the Bolsheyiks,

ANOTHER TRAGEDY NORTHLAND WHICH
 NEVER HAPPENED

According to news received from McGrath, they had a sensation there recently.
 Jake Mutchler and man named Powers were travelling together from Iditarod. It seems that Jake wasn't travelling fast enough for Powers and when they arrived at Gaines creek Powers told Jake to go on ahead. Jake crossed and went into cabin on the opposite shore to wait for Pow CTS. When Powers did not show up in due time the bunch at the cabin made hunt for Powers, and not find. ing him believed that he had been drowned in trying to cross the creek. The next day Jake went on to Ophir to report the drowning to the authori- ties, and arriving there discovered that Powers had beat him to Opl,ir and gone on to Tacotna alone, refus- fusing to stay drowned.
 Another tragedy of the north which never happened.

"The Brat is a worthy successor to Nazimova's former triumphs. It is as true to life as her Revelation" more varied than Toys of Fate; more intensely human In it's appeal than Eye for an Eye" and pervad ed with the same poignant drama as "Out of the fog"
 Adapted by Nazimova and Charles Bryant from the sensational stage success written and starred in by Maude Fulton, "The Brat" is screen epic It tells the story of a slum child with a woman's heart. It be- gins with her life in the chorus of a cheap musical comedy. It peeks be- hind the scenes into q realm of un- reality. She is known as "the brat'- simply the brat" nothing more. She is slangy, quick tempered and spunky. But she loves every living thing. At Empress theater tonight.
