within five minutes without breaking

is to make gas that is very poison
Gus and very heavy. Heavy gas set
ties on the earth so that no one in
the vicinity can escape it."
At this point, recalled a remark
that heard attributed to Mr.. Edison
ten years ago, to the effect that if
the United States ever got into a
tight pinch he would put the govern
ment in possession of a destructive
agency so terrible that nothing short
of impending national disaster could
cause him to disclose it. / asked him
if he had been correctly quoted. He
replied in the affirmative. asked him
if the weapon he had in mind was gas.
The only answer | received was a
broad smile and gesture that indi-
Gated that the subject was one on
which he could not say word.
Mr.. Edison is of the opinion that
the next war will be good thing to
keep out of. He spoke of the great
progress that has been made since
hostilities in Europe ceased in the
manufacture of poison gas. 1t would
be only question of time, he said
until the Germans would learn OF
these discoveries, and, if they should
care to do SO, they could fly over Paris
and in five minutes kill everybody
with gas without breaking a window

by keeping out of China herself and

GHOSTS OF PERJURY
Used in Mooney and Bill.
lings Frameups Drag
Themselves Out

San Francisco. - Ghosts of the
Fickert perjuries, which were employ
ed in railroading Tom Mooney and
Warren K. Billings to Imprisonment
for life are continuing to drag them
selves out of the quiet past to con-
found the perpetrators of the gil
gantic frameup which had for its
original purpose the throttling of
militant labor on the Pacific coast,
The latest apparition, now that j.
c. Emerson, labor spy and manufac-
turers' dynamiter, has been convicted
for arson, is that of Daniel j. Kid
we'll, incorrigible criminal, who has
been sentenced to serve an indeter-
inmate term at Folsom prison for bur
glary in the second degree.
1t is the same Kidwel who, while
serving in Folsom for forgery COM
mitted in Ventura county in 1916, was
to obtain his release if his wife, Alice
Kidwell, and his step-daughter, Es-
telle Smith, notorious prostitute,
would swear away the lives of Mooney
and Billings by perjured testimony.
Wife's Indiscretion
Mrs. Kidwell, however, was suffi-
| GENTLY indiscreet to write her hus-
band while he was languishing in jail,
telling of the offer by the prosecution.
The letter came into the possession of
the Mooney Billings defense with the
result that Fickert told her that he
could not get her husband out of the
penitentiary because of her slip.
Mrs. KidwelPs blunder consisted in
writing:
"As soon as you read this put your
name on the calendar; do it right
away. The authorities are going to
get you out-maybe in a few days
and maybe by the 10th; have got
work for you in the Union Iron
Works anyway at 81 day-maybe
more. Captain Matterson and the
District Attorney went to see two
of the board this a. m. and will see
the others in Sacramento !. i KNOW
| AM NEEDED AS A WITNESS,
AND THEY ARE HELPING ME- BY
GETTING YOU OUT. They told
me to write this to you and you put
your name on the calendar just as
soon as you get this, and you will be
home in a few days. Do not delay
for we expect to have a private meet
ing to get you out"
1t is interesting in this connection
that, despite his inability to obtain a
parole, Kidwell was transferred from
the road gang" at the time his wife
was growing active against the two
Chamber of Commerce victims.
| Resumes Career
| kidwell, following his release from
Folsom on his forgery "jolt," was
inactive for number of years. Late
ly, he bobbed up in Alameda county,
Calf, to continue his criminal ca
reer. On September 10, he was seiz-
ed at Pleasanton, Alameda county,
for burglarizing the safe in a gro
cery store and making off with $125
in U. S. currency. 1t was when he
tried. to pay for some underwear and
shirts in rolls of dimes and nickels
that suspicion for the crime turned
in his direction.
At preliminary hearing, Kidwell
pleaded not guilty. Brought for trial
before the superior court recently
he changed his plea and admitted his
guilt. He was sentenced to San
Quentin for an indeterminate term of
from one to five years. He was then
transferred to Folsom prison, which
houses second offenders.

Apologies to John McCrae
In city parks the papers blow
Between the benches, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the street
The sparrows dodge the hurrying feet,
That seem to mock us as they go.
No work! And yet, short days ago
We fought your battle with the foe,
And won it, too, and now we loaf
In city parks.

When we returned; by that word

If you break faith with US, defeat

Every nation that is in possession of

should be left alone Other nations
