CALIFORNIA AMAZES

Always amazing in one way or
another, California has seldom been
more amazing than she is made to
appear by those prosecutors who
have admitted that in the Mooney
Billings case they were not so much
interested in the direct evidence as
in the general surroundings of the
case. Seemingly they wanted to get
'the right men, on any kind of evi-
dence. And, as has been recalled
California, in the days of the original
trials, had the kind of jury system
that encouraged bad verdicts. II

is needing work"


"The population never works for
wages. A certain proportion of the
population normally does. That pro-
portion engaged in gainful occupa-
tions has probably not changed much
from the 1920 census, when it was
just under 40 per cent. Assume that
percentage now, and the departmntal
2 per cent at once becomes per cent
of the gainfully employed. But these,
again, include agricultural labor, pro-
fessional work and domestic service,
in which there is little unemployment.
Factory and structural unemploy-
ment must rise to much higher per-
centage-how much higher we do not
undertake to say. 1t is enough that
by general agreement between two
and three million workers are out of
job.
And what are the six states serv-
ing as samples in this computation
Con the list carefully They are
Texas, Utah, Montana, Arkansas,
Florida and Kansas! Cold comfort
for the union labor workers in East
ern and near Middle States whose
percentage of unemployment, accord
ing to President Green's statement to
the senate committee on commerce
rose during the winter to a peak of
p. Naturally there has been season
al improvement since then. But the
value of the department of commerce
statistics" as showing present con-
ditions is exactly none at all. 1t is
an insult to intelligence to put them
out.-New York World.

 Blast in Wild section
 The explosion occurred about mile from Nanticoke in wild, mountainous section near the coal companys Truesdale colliery, one Of the largest ill the anthracite region.
 The car was being hauled up narrow gauge railroad by Q mine motor to pay off several hundred miners working at No. 20 tunnel. AS it neared the Coiiery the dyna- mite, which had been placed under the track and was exploded by means of wires and q battery hid den behind a barricade 20V feet away, wrecked the car
 The force Of the blast uncoupled the motor from the pay car, and without stopping for investigation. Harry Powell the motorman, pro- ceeded under full speed to the col fiery and spread the alarm. Tho district was rocked by the terrific detonation.

HANDICAPPED

After listening to all the testi- mOny for six weeks in the Lyle Whitney conspiracy case twelve jurors acquitted the defendants of the charges. Again walk the streets of Seattle these men with their names cleared of the styg- ma of betrayal of their offices and oaths of office, removed. The prosecution based it's case on the testimony of a snooping, Snitching, rat of a stoolpigeon. Reading the evidence of this little shadow of a snake, no jury could find any other verdict than was arrived at.
 Men who know Whitney, per sonally have had their belief in his innocence confirmed. Their faith in the character and integ- rity of the defendants was not misplaced.

 Several citizens of Hydaburg experienced rides on the air plane which was here for a day or so. They voiced the sentiment that they did not get as much thrill out of it as they expected but they had the satisfaction of saying that they went up in the air for pretty good cause.

LYLE-WHITNEY ACQUITTED
 IN LIQUOR TRIALS

The famous case in Seattle
 against former prohibition of flcerS Lyle and Whitney ant others turned out to be a dud in
 solar as the government wa concerned.
 ] The jury in the case went into session at 5:37 o'clock on Friday afternoon of last week and re- turned their verdict of "not guilty" shortly after midnight.
 The case was one of the long est in the history of the courts of Washington; six weeks being required to hear more than two hundred witnesses from digni- taries of the church to the pena. colony of McNiePS Island. The testimony offered filling more than 5000 pages.
 Judge Frank Norcross, sitting in the case instructed the jury to disregard "any evidence that the defendants were too zealous in the performance of their dut- les and to give the defendants the benefit of a doubt in con- sidering their efforts to estab- fish alibis in connection with the offenses charged. Testimony offered by many of the govern ment witnesses may be viewed with suspicion"
 Along with Roy Lyle, and Will liam Whitney the jury acquitted Richard L. Bryant and Earl Cor win. Clifford T. Mckinney, the fifth defendant named in the in dictments returned by the grand Jury, was freed after the govern ment had completed it's first batch of testimony,
 The chief prosecution witness was Alfred M. Hubbard, former prohibition agent and former member of Roy Olmsted's liquor ring who told of alleged protec- tiCn payments which he handled for the bootleggers to ease en- fOrcement officers.

PROHIBITION POLITICS

Ends the case against Lyle and Whitney, prohibition admins trator and his legal advisor. But the nnlitical effects go on. The alleged use of bribe money for political campaigns will roll on to the hurt of some perhaps tC the end. It is certain that in political campaigns these stories will be whispered from more than one corner of the state ot Washington.
 And perhaps that is what VI aS intended in the first place. Else why bring in former prosecuting attorney Revelle and Senator Leslie Jones? And who was back of the efforts at prosecu- tion of the acquitted defendants:

FORD MAKES PREDICTION

On the eve of his departure to Germany last week to attend the Passion Play at Oberam- mergau, Henry Ford gave his views to the press in a resume of four major points.
 First he intends to manufac- Cure automobiles abroad hence forth instead of shipping or as sembling them.
 Second, he will pay the Ameri- can scale of wages despite the fact that French mechanics on- ly earn SLIP per day.
 Third, he believes industry in the United States will event ually operate but nine months of the year with the employees engaged in agricultural work the other three months.
 Fourth, he is convinced the entire world will adopt prohibi- ton before long. MT. Ford endorsed the new tariff, asserting: Tt forces for ,eign nations to increase their tariffs with the result that we must construct abroad.
 We will pay commensurate wages practically the same as in America and help toward rais- ling the standard abroad, said MT. Ford.
 When asked whether Ameri- can industrial production had reached the saturation point he replied in the affirmative anc indicated that the factories soor must operate nine months ,i lthe year.

WOLF TRAPPING DESCRIBED

Wolves and coyotes, still a
 source of worry and serious loss
 to stockmen, and Sportsmen of
 the West because of the destruc-
 tiveness to livestock and game
 animals, are uncanny i'll their
 ability to avoid mans efforts
 to keep them under control. To capture these animals man must match with strategy their cleverness in avoiding capture. Trapping has been found by ex- pefts of the Bureau of Biological Survey, U. s. Department of Agriculture, to be one of the most effective methods.
 The areas most heavily in fested with wolves are in Alas ka, eastern Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. Co., votes also exist in all the Vest ern States. "The coyote" ac- cording to the Biological Survey, lis by far the most persistent of the predatOrS of the western range country, and is a carrier of rabies, or hydrophObia, and turalemia, a disease of wild rab- bits and other rodents that is transmissible and sometimes fa- tai to human beings.
 Much of the country inhab- tied by coyotes and wolves is purely agricultural and contains vast grazing areas, and a large part of the food of the animals in those areas consists of mutt ton, beef, pork, and poultry pro- duced by the stockmen and the farmer, and of the wild game that should be conserved. It isl a matter of great importance,
