CHAPLIN'S MEMORY FAILS
X. TV. TV. Attorney Takes Stand to
"'Supply Testimony; Prosecu
tion Creates Surprise
fContlnned From First Tai7fv)
Jears of his connection with the
headquarters of the L W. W. at 1001
West Madison etrcet, Chicaso, and the
publication work of the organisation,
he had never known the I. W. W. to
order any special pamphlets written.
The I. YV. W. publishing company
printed only voluntary contributions
thought by the organization to have
merit, he said.
Attorney Alleges Trick.
Mr. Bernard called his attention to
three motions made during Auirust ot
last year, in a record of I. Yv. YV.
headquarters ordering handbooks
written, and Chaplin confessed he
mieht have been mistaken. The
editor further had testified that
he received J38 a week from the L
IV. YV. and that that amount was the
highest salary the organization ever
paid anyone. In one of the official
records quoted by Bernard, the motion
to have a handbook written was ae
companied with the recommendation
that J3j a week be paid the writer.
Chaplin then admitted that J28 might
not always have been the top price.
"Who censored the Joe Hill edition
of the I. W. YV. song book?"
"I did," said Chaplin.
"And after expurgated editions were
th result of your censoring?"
Yes, sir."
No one else helped you?"
"Sot that I remember."
At this Juncture Y'anderveer sprang
to his feet red with rage.
"This is dirty pettifogging," shouted
the attorney. "The district attorney
knows that I testified at Montesano
that I had censored that book and is
trying to trap the witness."
"Exactly," smiled Bernard. '
"I object to counsel's smirking and
stirring up a fuss over this thing."
went on Y'anderveer, "Don't you re
member, Ralph, when you got the
proof sheets of that copy and I went
over them with jou?'
Witness Then Recalls.
"Oh, yes." recalled the witness.
"I thought .you would after Mr.
Vanderveer had a chance to prompt
you." commented Bernard. "That is
all."
On direct examination Chaplin had
testified that he joined the I. W. Y
in West Virginia in 1D13: that a strike
there had inspired the poems in
"When the Leaves Come Out" and
caused him to join the L YV. YV.; that
before he joined ho was a commercial
artist; that sabotage meant with
drawal ot eniciency rrom Industry,
not destruction; that no books on sab
otage had been circulated by the
I. YV. YV. to his knowledge since 1817;
that the contributory nature of pam
phlets published by the I. W. YV. re
sulted in the taking of different sides
on tho same question, in 1 YV. W. lit
erature. "I'll prove that the X. TV. TV. Is the
most non-resisting, pacific organiza
tion in the world:" shouted Y'ander
veer to court end jury yesterday
morning as he offered to show by wit
nesses from Montana and Arizona
that the Industrial YVorkers of the
World had been abused in countless
ways during strikes, but never had
retailiated in any way. though pow
der with which to blow up mines and
other means were at hand to do in
estimable dama.se to employers.
Reply Is Withheld.
Reply by the state to this chal
lenge was withheld by the knowl
edge that to mention Centralis, in the
presence ot the jurors in this case
mlsrht have Seen reversible error. But
a. few moments later, before tho jury
returned from a reccstt and after Y'an
derveer had renewed his offer of
proof to Judge Bcft, Bernard found
his opening.
"That the doctrine of class hatred
taugnt by this organization results in
cold-blooded murder is proved easily.
ho declared. "We need not go back
to Butte nor to Blsbee. YVe need go
no further back thiin November of
last year and no further away than
a sister Ftate. The world knows what
tho I. YV. YV. teaches from its action
on Ivovcinber 11 in YVashington."
The prosecution strongly resisted
the Introduction of testimony con
cerning negative acts of tho I. YV. YV..
particularly in view of the fact that
the court had ruled that tho state
could not submit evidence of snccific
arts of Fahotago or violence practiced
IndKe Sustains Logic.
we cannot show by specific,
affirmative acts what the I. YV. YV.
does, how can tho defense show by
negative testimony what the organ
isation ooes not ao." asked Bernard
and Judge Belt agreed with the logic
"The defense will be limited to
snow how the L YV. YV. stood on
questions of violence, as an organiza
tion, D.v vote." ruled the judge. "If
we undertake to try the Butte strike
and other industrial troubles, we will
never get through."
T. It. Speakman, secretary of tho
central propaganda committee at Se
attle in 1919, but who is now being
held in tho county Jail on a criminal
syndicalism indictment, was called as
a witness shortly before adjournment.
Ho testified that no copies of books
on sabotage had been kerft in the
I. YV. W. headquarters and that A. K.
Allen, witness for the prosecution,
could not have secured such there for
distribution, as had been -testified.
Sale of Rooks Admitted.
Thomas JIcKinlcy was the first
witness called by the defense. He
testified that he had distributed
literature in Seattle during the last
two years for the L. YV. YV. and that
he never sold any books on sabotage
or pamphlets appearing to advocate
violence, such as the state produced
In evidence on the testimony of for
mer I. YV. W. who had told of circu
lating them last year. He declared
he had not seen any literature on
sabotage in an L YV. YV. hall since
1917.
Joe Shannon, a member of the 1
TV. YV. since 1906, and participant in
the Butte strike of mine workers in
1917 and 1918. was called by the de
fense to prove the alleged non-resisting
character of the L YV. YV. He
said that meetings of tho L YV. YV. In
Butte during the strike voted to keep
the peace and commit no acts of
violence.
On cross-examination, he admitted
that the peace-preaching strike
bulletins concerning which he had
testified In his direct examination
were not (issued by the I. YV. YV. but
by the mine workers' union, expla'n
ing, however, that most of the union
members were L YV. YV. He Said be
bad been a witness for the defense in
a syndicalism case In Seattle.

NEW BEAN WINS BUYER
Eastern Mai Orders 500 Cases of
Pack of Eugene Cannery.
EUGKNE. Or.. March JO. (Special.)
So well pleased was one of the
eastern buyers of products of the
cannery of the Eugene Fruitgrowers'
association with a sample of new
canned beans which was sent him by
J. O. Holt, manager of the association,
that he placed an order for 5000
cases of the product. Mr. Holt says
that this is equal to the entire sea
son's pack of the ordinary beans and
he is doubtful if such a large order
of this variety can be filled.
Mr. Holt discovered this variety of
bean last year and canned a few
samples. It is a huge yellow bean
and is canned whole. He has been
unable to learn the name of the
variety though it has been grown in
gardens here for many years.

cago and Houston, and will- be as
sembled in our local plant.
