THUGS GUILT
Would Be Placed on Rail
Shop Men BY Employers

San Bernardino, Cal-Officials of
this county and city have made a new
record for grovelling before corpora
tions by publicly calling upon strik-
ing railroad shop men to assist in
capturing and furnishing persons re-
sponsible for crimes since the strike
began.
The unions are not charged with
being connected with such acts, and
the individuals as a whole are exon
Grated, "but," says the statement, sit
must be that among your hundreds
of law-abiding members there are
those who have knowledge of these
conspirators.
The cunning purpose of those poll
ticians is shown in the public reply
of the shop men, who say more of the
officials who signed the letter wrote
it, and that it was prepared at con-
ference attended by officers of the
Santa Fe railroad.
The shop men tell the mayor,
sheriff, district attorney and chief of
police that this city is swarming with
thugs employed by the Santa Fe and
that "they are associated with the
sheriff's force and with the city
police"
One of the thugs killed citizen
and wounded two others. The muir
derer is a ''trusty" in the jail and is
given every opportunity to escape.
The workers suggest ito the pre-
tended exponents of law and order
that they purge their own ranks and
remove the stigma of partiality which
has thus far characterized every
action of these officials"
Officials are reminded that their
open attack on law-abiding citizens
followed secret conference of every
influential anti-unionist in this city
and two executives of a railroad de-
tective agency, at which time methods
for combating the strike were dis
cussed.

CHANGE OF VENUE
Granted Miners Leader
Charged With Con-
spiracy

Charles Town, w. Va. - Judge
Woods has granted the plea for a
change of venue by President Keeney
of the West Virginia miners district
who is charged with conspiracy in
connection with the Logan county
mine war last summer
The first change of venue was from
Logan county to this (Jefferson)
county. Now the coal owners have
corrupted public opinion by their
vicious propaganda and the accused
miner tells the court he would not
receive fair trial here In granting
the plea Judge Woods said he would
announce the trial county later.
Previously Judge Woods made an
important ruling when he ousted the
Loyal coal operators association
from the trial, and ordered the prose
cutting attorney of this county to take
charge. The courts action upholds
the miners claim that the charges
against them are instigated and
financed by anti-union coal owners
and that the machinery of the state
has been placed in the hands of these
private interests.
Attorneys for the miners told
Judge Woods they were prepared to
fight this issue to the end, and that
they would involve Governor Morgan
by Showing that he is part of the
conspiracy.
All moneys so far expended for the
prosecution of the miners has been
furnished by the coal owners and al
lied interests Neither the attorney
general of the state or the prosecut-
:ng attorney of this county has beer
represented at the trials, though the
miners are charged with treason, ar
otfense directly and solely against
the state.

UNCOVER TAX FRAUDS

Washington.-The internal revenue
bureau is investigating business men
all over the country who are charged
with defrauding the government of
taxes by crediting to themselves in
their income returns fictitious or un
justifable losses.
The frauds were made possible by
business men reporting so many
losses that their net income was be-
low $4,000. Under the law incomes
of the amount or less are audited in
the offices of local collectors without
reference to the special audit bureau
in Washington to which are sent re-
turns covering incomes over $4,000.

MILITARY FORCE

Congressman
Sees No Need For Large
Army Other Than toFight

Washington - The greatest need
for an increased army and navy
seems to lie in protecting Standard

ton to pay its just taxes, asks
Congressman Frear in a letter to
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon.

result of Standard oil exploitation

"The most eloquent pleader before
the supreme court in the stock divi-
dend case who won to his view the
fifth and deciding justice, now in his
present position as cabinet officer
(Hughes) of great ability and dis
tinction, has just secured for Stand
ard oil and other American interests
a right of 10 per cent of Mesopo-
tamia's oil fields. If Turkey pro-
tests and refuses the demands of
Standard oil, it remains for the gov
ernment to use force to carry out
the demands of any secretary of
state, and force means an army and
navy with which to fight the battles
of private oil corporations.
Notwithstanding Washington's
past and prospective world peace

SAYS BEAUTY IS.
To BE FOUND
ON DESERT

They say-and I have always won
dered why they say it-that the des-
ert, the great American desert, Is not
lovely. But l who have Travelled that
desert, which for me covers much of
the West and Southwest, as it did for
the conquistador, Coronado, know
otherwise. l could take you to the
desert beautiful, no matter whether
it be hard by the Little Colorado or
where the traditions of Montezuma
chung around the Casa Grande to the
south of the ella river, and always
could show you a garden of flowers
and bushes, carpeted and canopied in
color. Then surely do not call the
American desert an unlovely waste.
The desert has variety, too. View
it, for instance, from a mesa Of the
Painted desert. You are looking down
upon a colorful sea bed Of sand and
rock, low glowing in the softest of
harmonies. The distant mountains
frame picture painted from natures
palette. The valley plain sweeps for
ward in long undulations with no
trace Of that human activity which
would be impertinence In these color
solitudes. The rosy atmosphere rolls
everything smoothly into one. But
think not to discover fine nuances and
graduations in such an elemental
landscape. The earth is cut out in
immense blocks of color and takes
shape in great mass forms Of hills and
hummocks and mesas and buttes.
No grass covers it's nakedness, only
this radiant cloth spun by the atmos-
phere in league with distance. Here
on the ground lies the Rockies of
former age, in infinitesimal color spec
linens. For one part you may pick up
a handful, and know for a surety that
you are holding a specimen of a Grand
canyon that was placed there by ma
ture perhaps million years before.
But go farther to the south and the
story is a different one. There the
ground is picturesque from its vegeta-
ton, apart from its lofty lava masse
or its colored rocks. Here is real
garden without design, but yet con-
structed as if it were to mock the
waste. In it grow jagged mesquite and
thorny but brilliantly green pale verde;
stunted or tall greasewood and every
imaginable variety of the cactus fam
lily. The sand may be heaped up
against clumps of cholla and prickly
pear. Or the ground may be hard and
level as a billiard table, or form the
sloping side of foothills in which the
tall, majestic giant cactus with its
curious flower seems to mark series
of superimposed terraces, or the wind
ing path of telegraph poles.
Call this garden desert If you will.
But the sense of desertion is not real
ly there. 1t is, in short, Garden Of
Allan that seems to encompass the
whole earth, and which wants nothing
whatever to complete the picture.
When man comes to the Desert
Beautiful, then color will go from the
air, the flowers will fade, the tall.
proud caeti will fall and loneliness
will have fled. I prefer, for one, the
desert as it is and as it has been long
before man placed his records upon
the rocks and sands of time.-Chris-
tan Science Monitor.

DOG FOMS SAFE ROBBERS

Toledo, GA dog belonging to Burt

barked the alarm that prevented young
men from escaping with the post Office
safe containing $500 in postal re-

er, who asked Toledo police to be on

The band of crooks used three auto
mobiles in the attempted robbery and
had loaded the safe into one of the
cars. The car carrying the safe had
Travelled only short distance when
several shots were fired at the men by
persons who had been aroused by the
dog.
The robbers dropped the safe into

in the direction of Toledo. The safe

pull at the starting chain. Realizing
that they were In danger, he sprang
through the door and on the platform

floor.
