BOOKLETS ARE IDENTIFIED been and Is shameless profiteering: in that industry. The market nrlre nf the farmers liVestock has declined nearly 60 per ent, bringing many farmers to the verge of bankruptcy, but the high prices the consumer pays for meat are virtually unchanged. The Income tax receipts prove the mine operators get excessive profits. All the quotations I have referred to conspire to prove that it Is profit eering in the great industrial corpor- tions that has sandbagged the pub lic, rather than by merchants who deal directly with the consumer. No doubt there is price gouging by some of the retailers, but It is the price of goods when they leave the factory to which the administration's best at tention should be first directed." SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24. Califor nia millers advanced the price of Permission Denied Prisoner, Act ing as Own Attorney, to Smoke In Judge's Chamber. TACOMA, "Wash., Jan. 24. Engag ing in clashes of wit and repartee with the freedom of enemies of many a courtroom battle, the defense in the trial of the 39 alleged I. W. W. for criminal syndicalism and police offi cers from Spokane, called to the stand by the state today, enlivened specta tors with renewal of hostilities car ried over from similar trials in other part3 of the state. Alexander McDonald. 32 years a po lice officer in Spokane, now sergeant of police, and T. F. Mitchell, Spokane Vol ice officer, were called by Prose cuting Attorney William D. Askern to testify concerning statements and lit erature of the Industrial Workers of the World from their knowledge of it as officers in Spokane. They followed William Josh, former organizer of the I. W. W., whose ex amination concerning the literature that he identified and that was admit ted as exhibits over the protest of At torney Ralph Pierce for the defense, was left unfinished until Monday that the out-of-town men might be heard and allowed to go. McDonald iden tified a dozen or more of the 19 exhi bits of I. W. W. bulletins, songbooks, pamphlets and stickers. Some of these stickers have been pasted on the city hall in Spokane," he said. "1 have one in my pocket that 1 took from there not more than three weeks ago." McDonald told the court that he had heard Richard Brazier, author of one of the songs in the I. W. W. song- book, call the stars and stripes dirty rag and say "to hell with the flag" at street meetings in Spokane in the course of two years that Brazier made Spokane his headquarters. "He. said concerning the business blocks around there when he was speaking that when the workers had taken everything over they might give the present owners jobs as jani tors, and that instead of working for the farmers, the farmers would be working for them," said McDonald. Witnean Ht on Oaten. At the beginning of his cross-ex amination Attorney Pierce asked Me Donald a dozen times to name a spe cific date when Brazier called the stars and stripes a dirty rag. Judge Fletcher finally told him tha he thought he had asked enough, the witness having replied that he did not remember the exact date, bu could never forget the incident. "I was just trying to find out how a man could say things like that and Btay out of jail in Spokane," said Pierce. "I think he's in jail now, sent from Chicago." said Askren. "You've never found us defending man that calls the flag a dirty old rag." rejoined Pierce heatedly. "You'll be there all right, reiter ated Askren. "We will not." "Don't argue, gentlemen," inter' posed Judge Fletcher. Abuse of Flag Related. McDonald testified that a man named Sheedy tore the flag up and trampled it. "He got five weeks, but not enough said the officer. "I agree with you it wasn't." said Tierce. McDonald said Brazier was makin speeches in Spokane off and on fo two years. He would be in jail an out of jail, he aid. Pierce declared that he did not se how they let him speak at all. "Well, we did the best we could. We had 1400. in jail at once," said Mc Jjona Id. Vincent L. Maroney again protested against his inclusion in the trial of the defendants, and just as vigorous a request for a severance of his trial from that of the other 38 was made by Mr. Pierce. Maroney says he is not an T. W. W. and so do the rest of the defendants in very vigorous lan guage. Josh will be recalled to the stand Monday, when court reconvenes at 10:30.

ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington Jan. 24 Public interest in the condition of President Wilson's health has been reawakened by fail ure of his physicians to give out any statements .recently. It may be said that the president is recovering, but that his recovery is slow. A recent statement by Mrs. George Bass of the democratic national com mittee that T-r. Wilson would be back at his desk in a week, was far too op timistic. Almost , two weeks have passed since the time she made that announcement. It is understood that it will be months before he will be able to re sume his executive duties. 'and that he will be taken away for a long rest just as soon as he is in condition to travel that may be a month. Why doesn't he get well? is the question which comes to Washington. There is evidently a failure to grasp the seriousness of a cdmplete nervous a lid physical breakdown. It is so common to say that someone who is suffering from temporary exhaustion has had a nervous breakdown th the public does not see anything so serious in the diagnosis of Mr. Wil son's condition as to warrant his long illness. Physicians point out that for tfian of 63 years a complete nervous breakdown in itself is sufficiently menacing, without any of the rumored complications which have caused such grave apprehensions.

Profiteers, he said, are more dangerous than "reds." Advocating legislation by congress to curb profiteering. Senator Capper said the people could help themselves too. if they would organize to "boy cott the profit hogs by refusing to buy goods offered at extortionate prices." The Kansas senator declared there could be no doubt that the general public is being sandbagged in view of profits reported by large manufac turing corporations and the rise in the value of their securities. He cited figures regarding the American Woolen Company, the Central Leather Company, the Crucible Steel Company. the United States Steel Corporation and others. Referring to increased prices of clothing. Senator Capper read a tele gram from the National Woolgrow ers' association, stating that the wool In a suit of clothes selling for $100 costs only $7.37. . "A 50 per cent increase in the price of shoes by next summer is predicted by the president of the National Shoe Travelers' association." continued Mr. Capper. "The day this prediction ap peared, another extra dividend was declared by the Central Leather com pany. While the people contemplate going barefoot, the leather trust walks on velvet made thicker. A year ago it was the war demand for leath er that made shoes high. Now It seems to be the peace demand for veT- vet. "Just now the greatest 'get rich quick' game in America is gouging: In sugar. The increase in the price of sugar will add a billion dollars to the burdens now being borne by the American people.
