The truth of tha matter Is that when this "revolution." In Lawrence oc curred, the I. W. W. had Just J4I mem. hers. The organization was two years old.

"I have heard Insulting remarks made ta Uils witness," said Representative Stanley, of Kentucky. "If that hap pens again. I am going to see that the guilty person Is sent to Jail If there Is any power In Congress to put him there." Ten boys and three girls, a part of the striking army of woolen mill work men, appeared to tell the committee the hardships of life under the working conditions imposed by the mill ownera The committee, seeking full Informa tion, called the children as witnesses. Carmella Teoll, an Italian girl of 1 years, pretty and shy. was one of the "exhibits." Two years ago she was caught in a loom and frightfully In jured. Her scalp waa torn from her head, but no legal proceedings were Instituted against the company. Hhe still works In a woolen mill and. with her father. Is the support of a family of seven. The aggregate pay of the father and daughter Is $? a week. The little boys who work In the mills enjoyed their strange situation and took more Interest In marveling at the luxuriance of the fittings of the committee room than they did in the examination by the attorneys who rep resented them. Moving picture men and other pho tographers took In their every move. Representative Wilson, of Pennsyl vania, told the committee on rules that the action of the Massachusetts soldiers In stopping the removal of strikers' children from Lawrence was the be ginning of the passport system In the I'm ted States. Wilson argued that the Federal Government had the power to Interfere when the power of the state was being used against the citizens. A delegation of strikers and children from Lawrence attracted much attention. Schloss Baltimore Clothes 3 W Schloss Baltimore Clothes TfTI" : .

Wash ington. March I. Three young lieuten ants In the Army, recently appointed from civil Ufa. owe their commissions to Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, for had he not championed their cause, the War Department would have rejected them, one after another, on purely technical grounds. The lieutenants are Sledorem Crawford. Jr., aon of General Crawford, of Oregon; Eugene Kales, son of Captain Fales, now stntloned at Van couver Bararcks. and Malcolm Wheeler Nicholson, of Portland. These young men, with other candi dates, underwent a rigid examination to determine their fitness for commis sion as Pecond Lieutenants and all passed the entrance examlnatlona, but in each case some technical objection was raised and the War Department re fused to Issue commissions. In one case the Department held that the sight of the applicant waa defective; an other, though passing the final exami nation, bad fallen below passing marlc in one subject in a preliminary exami nation, and a third was held to have a slight curvature of the spine. Senator Chamberlain Interviewed each of the young men; found them bright, intelligent, and fine appearing youna- fellows, and straightway went to the War Department to protest aerainst their rejection on what he considered technical grounds. It required a good deal of leg work and a greater amount of persuasion on his part to bring the officials to his way of thinking, but when he finely ahowed that 73 per cent of our people have some slight curva ture of the spine, when be showed that the one man had Injured hia sight by overstudy In preparing for the Army examination, and when he Insisted that passage of a final examination was in dication enough as to a man's qualifi cation' for appointment to the service, he finally won. - Lawyer Must Receive Copy Before Date or Trial Is Sot Prosecutor Cannot File Information YbiIe Indictments Pend. LOS ANGELES, March 2. The Jury bribery Indictments against Clarence 8. Darrow, former chief counsel for the McNamara brothers, became so en meshed in legal tangles today that, ac cording to attorneys, there is a possi bility that ull charges may be dis missed. The complications arose when At torney Earl Rogers, representing Dar row, refused to accept fragmentary notes of testimony as a compliance with a court order that the District Attorney supply the defense with a full transcript of the evidence on which the grand Jury had indicted Darrow. Traaacript Csssot Be Had. Declaring that a full transcript was not to be had because all the testi mony had not been taken by the offi cial stenographer. District Attorney Fredericks announced that he would pay no attention to the Indictments, and would have Darrow rearrested on Informations, as waa done in the case of Bert Franklin, the McNamara detec tive, who was fined 14000 yesterday after entering a plea of guilty to the charge that he had attempted to In fluence a Juror In the McNamara trial. More legal obstacles arose at this Juncture, however, leaving a doubt whether such an arrest could be made in view of the fact that Darrow was under Indictment for the alleged of- fense. Then Judge Hutton, who first : ruled that the partial transcript was sufficient and reversed himself last week, added further complications by fixing March 11 as the date when the accused lawyer should appear in court to have his case set for trial. Sltaatloa Paaalea Lawyers. When court adjourned, the case waa left in a condition that puszled the op posing attorneya. As it stands, accord ing to counsel, the prosecutor cannot send the case back to the grand jury because the conditions developed are not covered by the penal code. He cannot arrest Darrow on informations because of the fact that he has been Indicted, and, finally, a full transcript of the grand Jury evidence, which Fred ericks declares cannot be procured, must be handed to tho defense Ave days before Darrow is brought into court to have his trial date set. District Attorney Fredericks and his assistants were wrestling with the problem all this afternoon. It was said, however, that some mode of pro cedure would be mapped out by Monday. New Hand Bags For Milady's New Spring Costume PEKIN READY FOR SEIGE (Continued from First Page.) waa threatened. No further informa tion on the impending attack was made public by the oflcials, but it undoubt edly was the cause of the action of the foreign ministers at the Chinese capital In calling into Pekln the troops of dif ferent nationalities. There are now 10,000 foreign troops of various nationalities in that part of China bordering the Gulf of Pechlll and lying between Pekin and Chin Wang Tao. The greater part of the force is ( disposed along tne railway wiai cou nects Pekin with the sea. the majority being near Tien Tsin. or three hours by railway from the capital. If the international force in China is to be strengthened as a result of events in Pekin, probably the first reinforce ments must come from Japan and from the Russian garrisons in Northern Manchuria. The Wtfr Department stands ready to see that tho United States is fairly well represented in any augmented force. The American troops, like the last reinforcement for China, must come from the Philippines. The big army transport Sheridan is now lying at Manila, about to embark the 14th Cav alry for home.. Either this regiment or one of Infantry could be dispatched to Chin Wang Tao at 24 hours' notice. The transport Sherman, outward bound from San Francisco, also Is due at Manila next Monday. DEVELOPMENTS AID TAFTT Continued from- First Pajre. Rooseyelt boomers say there will ba a reaction as soon as the campaign -begins to work well, and there will be a country-wide arift toward his standard. Most picturesque of the develop ments of the week was the convention held In the Third Missouri District. The Roosevelt followers by a ruse sought to get control of the gathering, but special police were called and their plans were frustrated. Governor Had ley, first of the Governors to "come out" for Colonel Roosevelt, used all bis Influence to obtain a Roosevelt indorse ment, but both he and the leading citizens of Oyster Bay were denounced in resolutions which the convention adopted. The delegates were Instructed for the President. In many counties in New York state the committees have picked the delegations, and in every instance thus far they are Taft men.
